As I read earlier in one of the articles published by one of the boxing sites the 15 rounds.com, it was stated there that the fight between Bernabe Conception and the Mexican champion Steven Leuvano, for WBO featherweight championship has been postponed due to the injury of the champion. This postponed fight is part of the undercard of Paquiao-Hatton showdown on May 2, at MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada.Manager of Steven Leuvano told the ESPN.com that Steven Leuvano began to experience pain in his torso while training these past few days. Dunkin said, that Leuvano is a tough guy and trying to continue and working through it. But he couldn't continue because his injury is getting worst.
Top Rank will replace the bout on the televised portion of the card it is co-promoting with Golden Boy. It may turn to junior lightweight titleholder Humberto Soto (47-7-2, 30 KOs), who blew away Antonio Davis in the fourth round to retain his title in his first defense last Saturday night on Top Rank’s “Tijuana Thunder” pay-per-view undercard.
It's a sad news to Bernabe's camp that he's first fight for the world title is postponed. In his last fight in Araneta Coliseum, he really impoved a lot his power, style, patience, and the way he think on the ring. I'am disappointed that the fight is postponed, because on the way I look at him he is very ready to take the crown from Leuvano. If ever the fight with Leuvano will not resume, I hope that he will be given another title fight in different boxing organization.
