Five Filipino fighters will come together and represent the country in full force to battle a pack of Latin fighters in the boxing arena this Saturday (Nov 30) in “Pinoy Pride XXIII: Filipinos Kontra Latinos,” 6 PM, at the Araneta Coliseum.
After Manny Pacquiao’s victory last Sunday against American boxer Brandon Rios in Macau, Donnie “Ahas” Nietes, Merlito “Tiger” Sabillo, Milan “El Metodico” Melindo, AJ “Bazooka” Banal, and Jason “El Nino” Pagara will try to continue the winning streak and fight for their family, honor, and the country.
WBO World Light-Flyweight Champion Nietes will not let go of his world championship title just yet and will dedicate his victory to his kids once he beats his opponent Sammy “Guty” Gutierrez of Mexico.
Same goes for WBO World Minimum Weight Champion Sebillo who also wants to defend his title and keep his undefeated record clean. He also offers his match against Carlos “Chocorroncito” Buitrago of Nicaragua to his late mother who passed away last year.
Melindo and Banal, on the other hand, are determined to bring back their weight divisions’ championship belts as they compete with Jose Alfredo “Torito” Rodriguez of Mexico and ucian Gonzalez of Puerto Rico respectively.
Meanwhile, Jason “El Nino” Pagara is eyeing on his first world championship if he will be able to beat Vladimir Baez of Dominican Republic.
