Filipino prospect Bernabe "The Real Deal" Concepcion impressively halted Gabriel Elizondo with a fourth-round technical knockout victory minutes ago to win the NABF superbantamweight crown.

A big overhand right to Elizondo's chin stopped matters for the 'Kid Kombo' at 2:11 mark of the fourth stanza.

According to ringside sources, Concepcion was in control of the fight in the first three rounds, before scoring a knockdown in the third by landing a glancing right hand to the head that sent Elizondo down for the count.

With the win, Concepcion improves to 22-1-1, 12 KO's.

Philboxing.com's Rolando Hiso is at special ringside covering the event.
