Both Donnie 'Ahas' Nietes and Roberto Rubillar made weight at the official weigh-in held inside the ALA Gym for tomorrow's 'Thrilla in Minglanilla' card.
Nietes came in at 109.5 lbs, while Rubillar tipped the beam at 109 lbs for their 10-round, non-title showdown tomorrow at the Minglanilla Sports Complex.
