Their first fight produced a flyweight war for the ages, enough to necessitate a rematch just six months later.
The sequel was enough of a blowout to not put a third fight on the radar, which explains why dumb luck once brings together Luis Concepcion and Hernan âTysonâ Marquez. The pair of diminutive sluggers once again collide Thursday evening at Arena Roberto Duran in Panama City, Panama.
Judging by the way their first two fights played out, itâs interesting that Marquez has come out worse for the wear. Concepcion (33-4, 24KOs) has managed 10 of 11 wins following a pair of knockout losses to his old rival in 2011, while Marquez has since fallen on hard times. This fight comes on short notice only as a replacement for Giovani Segura, who was pulled in favor of moving towards a potential showdown with unbeaten World flyweight champion Roman Gonzalez early in 2016.
Then again, thereâs something to be said for quality of opposition.
