Donnie Nietes vs Rodriguez Jnr set for July 4th

Ahas is the best champion in the Philippines finally... because he's the only one, lol I don't count the 112 interim kid

From the handful of Nietes fights I've seen, I really think he's a top 15-ish p4p fighter. Nice little counterpuncher, smart, positions himself well to find the right shot. He is a bit too cerebral and waits too much, so like you said a guy who throws a lot like Rodriguez could outwork him. But Rodriguez is pretty easy to hit, and if Nietes ups his volume just a bit, he should nail Rodriguez with a lot of sharp shots and dominate. Good matchup.

Good fight, I fancy Nietes to win this.

Rodriguez Jr. got this, tough night out but Nietes will fall. What a great fight though, so glad it has a date. What a beautiful year for boxing :sombrero: If Ahas falls it will be, IMO, because Rodriguez Jnr outworks him. Sometimes Nietes can be too economical and lack activity. He has been opening up more though.
