Comments Thread For: Donnie Nietes, Aston Palicte Fight To a Twelve Round Draw

[HumanBag]

That is so wrong. Pacquiao got famous in the Philippines because he's a brawler and toe to toe fighter and former KO artist. He was already famous when he appeared in a couple of fights in "Blow by Blow" boxing series because he's a head on fighter and always go for the kill and he wasnt even famous outside of the country then.

Nietes is 36yrs old and only popular in his province and to boxing experts and/or boxing fanatics.

Ancajas meanwhile only started getting popular because of his KO streak which ended with Sultan.

Name one Filipino vs Filipino fight that was exciting to watch aside from the Filipinos Pacquiao faced. Name at least one.

Aston palicte vs virgilio silvano 2, jeo santisima vs carlo demecillo, giemel magramo vs michael bravo, jonathan taconing vs robert onggocan. There i gave you four

You said entertaining local fights and those i mentioned are entertaining local fights regardless if they happen in the provinces or in a city. And like i said unless you're named manny pacquiao and has success on a global scale you're only ever gonna be known on a provincial with a mild nationwide level. Also i just watched the palicte-nietes right now and they are far from a snoozefest just because no one's throwing punches recklessly.

i agree! Filipinos turn into straight vaginas when they fight each other just like when ancajas turned from a killer into a vagina when he fought sultan.

Lol i bet that was your just your first filipino vs filipino fight.

I thought the crowd was fine... impatient at times...but they were respectful... the most knowledgeable would understand how difficult is to fight a much bigger, longer, younger guy who put up a good showing.

Agree and people forget the fact the palicte was a live underdog and this is nietes first fight at 115 that he passed not with flying colors but he passed.

thought nietes nicked this one

[komandante]

I don't know what those two judges watched, definitely, Nietes won 7-3 rounds.

[Pinoy4ever]

Those judges should be looked into. This smells like corruption!!!

No need for rematch... shame.. Nietes deserved his 4th title in another weight...

Nietes vs Ioka please...
