NIETES-SOSA ON MAIN EVENT PREVIEW By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Wed, 10 Aug 2016  Edgar Sosa. When the longest reigning Filipino world champion, WBO light flyweight Donnie Nietes moves up to test the waters at flyweight in a showdown with former world champion and current world rated No. 4 Edgar Sosa, it may not be an easy fight as some local fight fans believe. Nietes himself has conceded that Sosa will be a tough opponent as most Mexicans are and that?s why he began training earlier than usual. While Nietes is always in shape and maintains his skill level, Sosa cannot be taken for granted when they meet at the StuHub Center in Carson, California on September 24. Sosa was enthusiastic about his return after suffering a 2nd round TKO loss to pound for pound No. 1 Roman ?Chocolatito? Gonzalez of Nicaragua and scored a six round unanimous decision over Orlando Garcia Guerrero last February 13 in a bout he used to regain his rhythm. Sosa had previously won the World Boxing Council Silver title with a stunning 2nd round knockout of another former world champion Ulises Solis which will be featured on this week?s presentation of The Main Event on Pinoy Box Office over Sky Cable at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday with a replay at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. The program will also showcase Nietes in action against Mexico?s Juan Alejo min the initial Ala Promotions?ABS-CBN in the United States, also at the StubHub Center. The Main Event will also feature highlights of The Rob Rose Cup staged by multi-awarded Australian promoter Peter Maniatis headlined by unbeaten Jason Moloney against Filipino Virden Rivera from the ?Bebot? Elorde stable. Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ronnie Nathanielsz.  |
