He gets a lot of criticism for his lack of punching power and for weak opposition so far in the pro ranks but I think he's got a great future as a pro, He's a 3-time Olympian and won gold at 132 in the 2016 Olympics.
To me his biggest downside is that he's already 30 and may have stayed in the amateur ranks a little too long.
Conceicao's strong points include good combinations to the body.

been moved too slow, with olympic gold and 3 olympics he can be matched more ambitiously

You'd think they'd want to move a 30 year old olympian a bit quicker. At this rate he'll be in his 40's by the time he fights anyone decent.

Not sure what's holding Top Rank back into keeping his opposition soft at age 30, but unfortunately it looks like his next opponent (on Jan 12) is actually a step down compared to his previous competition!! Normally Arum moves his best prospects quicker than he's moving Conceicao, and Robson is clearly one of Top Rank's best prospects!!
