Nietes of the ALA Gym and Mexican challenger Moises Fuentes are all set for their grudge rematch this Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena. During the official weigh-in held today both Nietes (32-1-4, 18 KOs) and Fuentes (19-1-1, 10 Kos) stepped on the scales at the division limit of 108 lbs. Ring magazine also announced on their website a few days ago that this fight will also be for the linear world light flyweight title.

Melindo, the WBO International flyweight titlist, and Martin ?Diablo? Tecuapetla of Mexico weighed in at an identical 111 lbs.
