World Boxing Organization (WBO) light flyweight champion Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes said his upcoming bout against Mexican Felipe Salguero would most likely be one of the hardest fights in his entire career.
Rated by the WBO and the International Boxing Federation No. 7 in the light flyweight class, Salguero (16-2-1 win-loss-draw with 11 knockouts) is a known scientific and technical fighter who methodically studies the moves of his opponents.
?May galaw siya [He got the moves],? Nietes, 30, told The Manila Times in an interview Thursday. ?He is a dangerous fighter but I?m not bothered. He may be the toughest fighter I will face but I won?t back down from his challenge.?
Nietes? fight will serve as the main event of Pinoy Pride 14: The Night of the Champions slated on June 2 at the Resorts World Manila. He said he is not expecting to score a knockout against Salguero though he assured his countrymen that he will retain his title.
The supporting bouts feature unbeaten Milan ?Methodico? Melindo against Jesus Geles and Genesis `Azukal? Servania vs. Genaro Garcia.
