Donnie Nietes beats Ramon Garcia Hirales

[Chups]

He won yes but it was an unpopular decision as far as the hometown crowd was concerned, they started exiting the venue as early as the 10th round.

I've been looking for a vid of this fight. I heard Nietes dominated the first half of the fight.

Good fighter, but sort of silly how low the bar to being a two division champ is these days isn't it?

If only we could simmer down the recognized championship belt to one or two. I don't know how the WBO belt became a major belt........by the end of the decade we might have 10 major belts.

Garcia should have won this fight. Although I'm expecting the judges to score this a close one, I never expected a UD with a huge margin for Nietes. Garcia is the more aggressive fighter, no doubt about it. Besides, he is the champion and Nietes should have done more.

I guess this is a case of highway robbery?

As for the current Filipino Champs, I believe Nietes won a world title before Viloria and Donaire so he should be the second Filipino world champion not the fourth.

i think garcia won this, i know he was the visitor but when a fighter closes that strong i think even the judges can't deny him the win
hopefully they rematch in mexico, i dont think nietes has anything to fear since he already won a very close fight there against vargas

Garcia deserved to have REMATCH;
I wasn't impress on the performance of Nietes, e****ially from the later rounds.
