PINOY PRIDE XXV PUBLIC WORKOUT AT SM CEBU (PHOTOS) By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Sun, 27 Apr 2014  CEBU CITY - The crowd that gathered around the SM City Events Center were treated to an entertaining boxing workout performed by five ALA gym boxers headed by WBO light flyweight champion Donnie 'Ahas' Nietes. Rey 'BoomBoom' Bautista, Mark 'Magnifico' Magsayo and Mark 'Machete' Bernaldez opened the proceedings by skipping rope and performing ladder and box exercises. They were followed by Milan 'Metodico' Melindo and the champ Nietes who did various footwork and ball exercises. All five boxers then hit the punch mitts with their trainers. They were well applauded by the fans who mobbed the boxers for photos after they finished their routine. The promotional event was held Saturday evening and was graced by the presence of the Filipino Flash, Nonito Donaire, who is training at the ALA gym for his upcoming challenge against WBA world featherweight super champion Simpiwe Vetyeka of South Africa in Macau on May 31.
