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.
This will be Nietes' last fight before he challenges IBF minimumweight kingpin Muhammad Rachman on October 28 in Indonesia.

The event is being bankrolled by the MIBA-Association of Barangay Captains, municipal government of Minglanilla in cooperation with SGG Sports Promotions.
In the chief support, Rollen Del Castillo takes on Nelson Guidolan in another tenner, while Edmund Velayo goes up against Barnold Seniego in an 8-rounder.
Louie Bantigue, meanwhile, will replace IBF no. 12 Julius Alcos as the latter sorts out his managerial problems. Bantigue will face veteran Bert Gawat.
The rest of the card are as follows: Reman Salim versus Reggie Binueza; Rashid Bacus versus Jimboy Ambray; Rogen Flores versus Vernil Desabille; Wilson Haya versus Romeo Jakosalem; Marjo Borres versus Brix 'Bomb' Ray; and Gil Melliguen versus Jessie Albaracin.
