The Hernan "Tyson" Marquez- Luis "El Nica" Concepcion slugfest for the WBA flyweight championship last Saturday night in Panama was the exact definition of WAR. It was a fight between two fighters who didn't want to lose and only knew one way to fight, which is to move forward no matter what.
Hernan Marquez was awarded the belt when the ringside doctor had to stop the fight because of the big mouse on Concepcion's left eye which hampered his vision that could also put his future in jeopardy if the fight would have been allowed to continue.
Both Hernan Marquez (30-2, 23 KOs) and Luis Concepcion (22-2, 17 KOs) showed the heart of the lion as they withstood each other's brutal power in a fight that was great while it lasted.
It was only fitting that the fight was held at Arena Roberto Duran, named after a true warrior, the original "manos de piedras" as both fighters also proved that they were warriors themselves with their bravery and tenacity inside the ring.
In the end, we can only say that both fighters deserved to win, that there were no real losers and that boxing is the only clear- cut winner here.
