I like Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista, as well. [align=center][b]Banal kayoed in 10![/b][/align] What was expected to be a lively Saturday night turned out dark for hot prospect AJ "Bazooka" Banal, who got iced in the 10th round and lost by knockout to Rafael "El Torito" Concepcion of Panama in a bout for the WBA interim super flyweight title at the Cebu City Coliseum in this city. The end came at 2:35 of the 10th canto when a painstaking Concepcion felled Banal with a right to the face in the neutral corner. Banal, dropped to his knees and refused to stand up despite prodding from his corner until referee Raul Caiz, Jr. reached the count. Banal looked on his way to a smashing victory when he bloodied Concepcion's nose in the middle of the opening round with a well-timed right uppercut. From there, Concepcion clinched most of the time as Banal kept on peppering the Panamanian with right-left combos and counter-punches. "I was nervous the first few rounds but I knew I can catch him later with a body shot," said Concepcion during a post-fight interview. Concepcion, whose reputation in surmounting difficulties was validated in this fight, worked on Banal's already frail body. The win upped Concepcion's record to 11-2-1, 7 KOs while Banal drops to 17-1-1, 14 KOs. [align=center][b]Lacy to retire?[/b][/align] [align=center][img]http://www.fightnews.com/laceyvsmendoza4.jpg[/img][/align] Former IBF super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy, expected to face former Olympic teammate Jermain Taylor on November 15, now says he's retiring. "There will be no fight between me and Jermain," Lacy told the Tampa Tribune. "I'm just retiring," he said. "I'm done. This business is dirty. That's all I have to say. This is a very dirty business. I would advise anyone who has kids not to ever let them fight in this business." Lacy (24-1, 17 KOs), who won a hard fought ten round majority decision over Epifiano Mendoza on Wednesday, did not go into specifics. [align=center][b]Judah, Clottey presser![/b][/align] [align=center][img]http://www.fightnews.com/judah-clottey.jpg[/img][/align] Two-division champ Zab Judah (35-5, 25 KOs) and former title challenger Joshua Clottey (34-2, 20 KOs) announced that they are in peak condition during a press conference held Saturday morning at The Lounge at The Palms in Las Vegas. "This is my time to be a champion," declared Clottey. "I am not going to lose this fight. No way!" Judah said: "I have known Joshua Clottey for a long time and I respect him. But as the old saying goes: 'The Bronx keeps on making it and Brooklyn keeps on taking it!' I am taking it August 2nd!" Judah's comments were in reference to Brooklyn being his hometown and that Clottey - who is a native of Ghana - fights out of the Bronx. Judah and Clottey will headline an HBO Boxing After Dark card next Saturday night for the IBF welterweight title vacated by Antonio Margarito. A full report and more photos will follow.
