How do people see him doing this saturday, strange how his progress stopped, he was going really well!
Matthew Hall is highly rated so he is up against on Saturday.

Yeah Concepcion turned out to be a bit of a false alarm didn't he? Remember him bursting through on a SKY undercard before Frank jumped ship and he looked promising. Even though he is losing maybe SN are keeping him on board because he brings excitement value to the table or maybe if Hall beats him (as expected) he will be shipped off.

Steve i agree he did burst on to the scene and looked promosing, if he loses i dont suppose theres many places he could go

Watching Concepcion, he hangs his chin out to dry when throwing his big punches, not sure its a fault you can correct.
I've not seen Hall box yet, but by his record he seems a decent puncher, could spell the 5th loss in a row for Concepcion

i think its a genetic thing, the man has such a long neck that his chin is always there to be hit, he just cant tuck it away..

One of the "hot prospects" who I got completely wrong when tipping him as one of the countries brightests talents. Even his power looks way over hyped now.

I must say I had never seen this guy box before the Gomez fight, but was aware that he had been a prospect with a decent amateur pedigree. I can't tell how bad I thought he looked. His legs seemed to be all over the place and he couldn't throw a straight jab without pulling the elbow of his other arm out wide. It was like looking at a guy whose natural wingspan was connected from one fist through his arm, across his shoulders through the other arm to his other fist by a much shorter length of string. Very uncoordinated. I can't imagine that he started his pro career that way.

Hall's career has spluttered for the last couple of seasons, which is a shame because he is an exciting squat, hooker.
He is almost bull like in appearance; I am surprised you aint backing him on that point alone El Toro!
I thought The Immaculate was going to do well when he first turned over and his high chin has been a problem from day one. He is a long standing spar mate of Wayne Elcock - you would have thought swapping bombs with a banger in Elcock's mold would have taught him to keep his chin down..but there you go.
Concepcion's confidence will have undoutedly been rocked by recent defeats but have no doubt that when on song the lad can bang!
Could be over very early this one, either way.

Excellent Result Martin Concepcion

A bit surprised by that result,not so much that Conception won but to do in the first round.He really was poor when I saw him on the contender, just cannot see his career going much further than domestic level to be honest.

Unreal turn up that. Really rate Hall. Hope he can come back from this.

I have always hoped that Martin Concepcion would do well as a professional partly through selfish reasons as I hoped if he could get a strong following it may bring professional boxing back to Leicester.
Nice win Martin.

I think he'll always turn up on cards like this because he offers entertainment value. I've yet to see him in a boring fight. He's one of those classic big punch/dodgy chin fighters who always have you on the edge of your seat.

One of the really nice guys of the game. Good to see, even if I felt sorry for young Matthew. He didn't know what hit him.
