I found this in a news article, it discusses AJ Banal's secret nightmare...
Naturally, there were various expert reviews, including one which claimed Banal had overtrained.
Maybe but, more than possible burnout, it was dumb, inferior training which led to the Saturday nightmare inside the steamy Cebu Coliseum.
In the first place, it was not an infant bull, but a fully mature warrior Banal faced.
Worse, this seasoned bull decided to gore Banal where he could not take it—around the belly.
Banal was trained to be the better boxer, and he looked it for most of the bout.
Concepcion had to practically walk through a wall in order to win.
He may not be the better boxer but he was the stronger, more solid warrior.
In the final analysis, it can also be said that Concepcion stole victory because he had the better corner. His chief handler, Hector Roca, readily shifted tactics after his fighter fell an easy prey to Banal’s sharp counterpunching. Roca ordered Concepcion to go down and shift the attack to the body. The reason is simple: you cannot effectively counter blows to the body without exposing part of your belly.
Meanwhile, Banal’s cornermen could only stare in awe as Concepcion gallantly dug deeper in the succeeding rounds. What would ultimately be exposed was this secret nightmare inside Banal’s (Bazooka) bubble gum belly. He had succeeded in concealing this until the third round against Concepcion. The hideous result was history in reverse: Lapu-Lapu being shocked and stopped by Ferdinand Magellan in the Battle of Mactan.
The full-house crowd, including Games and Amusements Board staffers who took over the working space reserved for media people, visibly felt they had entered the wrong theater. They came to witness an epic featuring a native warrior but ended up shocked, paralyzed. They all sank with the unprepared Filipino boxing dreamboat.
