This content is protected Tomorrow in Korakuen Hall. Second fight for Nietes in his comeback trail, and against someone who is sixteen years his junior. Nietes looked good in his last fight and I do hope he can muster his old cerebral style to outwit his foe. This fight is eerily similar to that of Rungvisai's fight against Kaito Yamasaki last month. Old time veteran against a Japanese prospect. However I hope the tides turn and this time the wylie vet gets the nod.
Jun Ikegawa used his speed and and his feints to win the fight. For me, the Japanese is less impressive than other Japanese prospects. Let's remember that the fight was in Super Bantamweight, which is 2 categories above the last world-level fights for Donnie Nietes. Now I just hope Donnie Nietes will be retired definetely.
