Another Filipino pride in boxing Donnie "Ahas" Nietes will put his title on the line when he faces his mexican opponent Manuel Vargas, the interim champion on July 18 in Jalisco Mexico for his third title defense of his WBO minimum weight title.

Nietes with the record of 24-1-3 with 14 by knockouts with his last fight also in Mexico winning it by unanimous decision over Erik Ramirez last February 09, 2009. In his first title defesnse he knockout his opponent Eddie Castro of Mexico on August 28, 2008 at the Waterfront hotel in Cebu City.

I search the video of the prevous fights of his opponent Vargas and one of them is the fight over Rayonata "the stringray" Whitfield . I saw how rugged fighter he was as he bombarded with tons of punches to the head and body and in the last round of the fight he just throwing punches from any directions and angles but Whitfield still manage to escape a closed decision and win the fight.

Currently Nietes is in the WildCard Gym in Los Angeles California together with AJ "Bazooka" Banal who will fight in the undercard of Mayweather-Marquez fight in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

I'm confident that still he can bring home back here in the Philippines the WBO world title belt.
