Comments Thread For: Donnie Nietes: I'm Heading To 115 - My Dream Fights Are There

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

IBF flyweight world champion Donnie Nietes (41-1-4, 23 KOs) is prepared to head up to the super flyweight division to pursue the bigger names in that weight class. Nietes made his HBO debut last month, as part of the Superfly 2 card in Los Angeles, and stopped Juan Carlos Reveco. Since heading up to 112, Nietes has dominated Reveco of Argentina, Edgar Sosa of Mexico and Komgrich Nantapech of Thailand.

Nietes vs Chocalotito on Superfly 3. Book it

If HBO suddenly loves Nietes so much, why didnt they just make Choc vs Nietes at 112 when both were there instead of forcing both up to a weight class where Choc wasn't as good and Nietes may or may not be either?

Nietes is the best of the best for ever.

Higa is only 22, and has been at 112 for a couple of years already, so got to figure he's going to be at 115 pretty soon.

He's a slugger for sure (100% ko percentage), but wonder how he would do against a slick boxer like Estrada. Higa v Cuadras would be scary, that would be bombs away from round 1, best chin wins. FOTY all over it.

Nietes at 35 has age against him; he'll be declining each fight at that age and a move up might see him biting off more than he can chew, but choco v nietes could be a great fight.

So many possibilities for superfly 3. Loeffler wants to get Inoue in on it too even if its 118, can't wait to see the match-ups (and hope to not be disappointed...)
