Sounds like this could be on for mid-November, interesting match up, Kal taking a big step up against a world class guy with a real punch

Good news I like Yafai and it'll be good to see him in a real fight. I'd have liked him and Conlon to fight before Conlon gets chinned but the longer they leave it the less likely it is to happen IMO.

You think Yafai wins ?

I've always rated him but his matchmaking has been dire. I've seen a couple of Concepcions fights Cuadras and Kono. Yafai doesn't move anywhere near as much as Cuadras but Concepcions looks an easy target and Yafai is good to the bodie.

Is this the Concepcion who fought Tyson Marquez, or a different one?

Same one, seems to be resurgent in recent years beating a shot Marquez, David Sanchez and more recently Kohei Kono.

Think Yafai should be favoured given he has real amateur pedigree (unlike Edward's the other week) but this is a monster step up, against a bloody good puncher. Should see Yafai chin checked at the very least.

Re Yafai's match making, been a total joke and the way they try to hype up a victory over Dixon Flores is bloody hilarious

Big step up but I really rate Yafai. I'd expect home advantage so I think he will win.
