Round 11: 10-9 Palicte

105-104 Palicte; Palicte outworking Nietes this round. What is Donnie doing?? He barely threw. Palicte isn't landing a lot of clean shots but he's throwing a lot and some are landing.

 

Rodel Mayol actually giving Palicte legit advice while the Villamor brothers are showing no sense of urgency with Donnie in this close ass fight.

 

Nietes needs a KO to win on my card.

 

They might be thinking Donnie is ahead.

 

Odd final round from Palicte

 

Round 1: 10-9 Palicte
Round 2: 10-9 Palicte
Round 3: 10-9 Nietes

Round 10: 10-9 Nietes
Round 11: 10-9 Palicte
Round 12: 10-9 Nietes

114-114; Nietes really turned it up in the latter half of the round to win it and earn a draw on my card. Palicte kind of just let him take it as he preferred to move around and not really throw anything of note.

 

Don't know what this crowd is booing, this has been a damn good fight.

 

I think nietes is having trouble with palicte's height but he can take his firepower. If nietes loses this i think he can land in a big fight.

 

115-113 either way is a good score IMO. I had it a draw but if I had to pick a winner, it had to be the bigger and younger man, Aston Palicte. HBO commentary was all over Nietes' nuts but this was a close ass competitive fight.

 

They always prefer a rumble with bombs flying all over like Rungvisai-Gonzales.

 

Scores:

116-112 Palicte
118-110 Nietes
114-114 .......A SPLIT DRAW!

 

I got Palicte winning 7-4 Missed the 3rd, so I call it 115-113 Palicte.

 

Place is probably full of mexican fans and just wants to get to the main event. It's like that since superfly 2.

 

Looks like a fair result.

Donnie is like the Badou Jack of the slower weights, he always gets them draws.

 

HBO drove a narrative through the whole 12 rounds!
