Donnie Nietes hasn?t lost a fight in more than a decade, and Saturday night he?ll defend his WBO Light Flyweight Championship against Carlos Velarde in the Philippines.
Nietes is one of the biggest punchers in the lower-weight divisions and usually good to provide some entertainment bang for your buck. He?s extremely popular in his home nation, where he?s fought virtually his entire career.
Velarde has held a couple of regional belts, but he failed in his one attempt at winning a world championship in the minimumweight division. His youth will be his biggest asset coming into this challenge, as some feel Nietes is past his best and prime to be picked off.
Read on for your complete preview and prediction of Nietes vs. Velarde for the WBO Light Flyweight Championship!
