Rising star and undefeated featherweight Miguel Angel (Mikey) Garcia of the United States clinically dismantled the Philippines' Bernabe Concepcion stopping the Catanduanes-born Filipino in the 7th round at the Coliseo Ruben Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico moments ago.
Concepcion (29-6-1, 15KO) who tend to get wild in the ring, fought a disciplined fight this time not forcing himself on the technically gifted and counter-punching Garcia (28-0-0, 24KO) but all his efforts were in vain as he could not get thru Garcia's solid defense. Garcia meanwhile bided his time working behind a stinging jab and well-timed right crosses and as the rounds got deeper, Garcia established more control and put on more pressure to the now retreating Concepcion. Garcia finally caught Concepcion with solid combinations in round seven sending Concepcion to the canvas for the first time. Garcia went on the finish the show as the referee stopped the contest before the end of round seven.
The undefeated Garcia now finished 11 of his last 12 opponents inside the distance while Concepcion went down to his 6th defeat in 36 fights.
