SNAKE BITES: NIETES KO?S MEENDAENG IN DUMAGUETE By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Sun, 18 Nov 2012  DUMAGUETE CITY - WBO light flyweight world champion Donnie "Ahas' Nietes of the ALA Gym entered the ring with his new pet python and fought Danai Meendaeng of Thailand like a calculating predator. The southpaw Meendaeng tried to move around the ring but Nietes easily cut him off and scored with his left hook and right uppercut. In the fourth round, Nietes drew blood which trickled from Meendaeng?s nose. In the fifth round, Meendaeng crumbled when Nietes landed hard right and left hooks to the body. Referee Ben Necesario reached the count of ten at 2:46. Nietes (31W-1L-3D, 17 KO's) was then mobbed by the fans at ringside. This non-title bout served as the main event for the ALA Stars Provincial Tour held at the Lamberto Macias Sports and Cultural Center in Dumaguete City. Nietes is scheduled for a title defense early next year.       Jimrex "The Executioner" Jaca (36W-6L-3D, 20 KO's) beat Jaypee Ignacio (8W-15L-2D, 2 KO's) by unanimous decision in a rough and bloody ten rounder. Two headbutts in the third round inflicted a cut on the outer corner of Jaca?s left eyebrow. This cost Ignacio a point. In the 4th, Ignacio suffered a cut on the right eyelid due to a punch.
