World Boxing Organization light flyweight Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes, the longest reigning Filipino world champion looked terrific in sparring over eight rounds at the ALA Gym along Balete Drive on Tuesday evening.
Nietes went eight rounds with the bigger duo of super bantamweights Ralph John Lulu (10-0-2, 5 KO?s) and undefeated John Virgil Vitor (3-0. 1 KO).
Trainer Edmundo Villamor was extremely pleased with the showing of Nietes, indicating all the sacrifices they have made are paying off.
Villamor told the Manila Standard/Viva Sports that Nietes demonstrated ?great movement and showed us all he had? easily handling his sparring partners who were four weight divisions above Nietes.
Nietes who has a record of 34-1-4 with 20 knockouts will face Mexico?s Gilberto Parra who has an impressive record of 17 knockouts in 19 wins with only 2 defeats.
Villamor was also pleased with the form shown by undefeated super bantamweight Prince Albert Pagara (22-0, 15 KO?s), the reigning IBF Intercontinental super bantamweight champion who engaged another promising unbeaten fighter in Arjan Canillas over six explosive rounds.
Pagara and Canillas went after each other in a series of torrid exchanges over six rounds which Villamor said was ?like a real fight? with both fighters digging vicious shots to the body and occasionally switching to the side of the head.
Villamor said Pagara was ?ready for the fight? against tough Rodolfo ?Fofo? Hernandez, the North American Boxing Organization super bantamweight champion with a record of 26-5-1 with 24 knockouts. on March 28 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on ?Pinoy Pride 30 ? DDAY.?
