Filipino champion Donnie “Ahas” Nietes made a smashing debut as a junior flyweight by knocking out Mexico’s ArmandoVazquez in just 1 round at the La Salle Coliseum in Bacolod City on Saturday.
Nietes tagged Vazquez with a crushing right hook, knocking down the Mexican during the main event of Pinoy Pride 5, according to a Philboxing.com report.
Vasquez failed to make the count, prompting referee Bruce McTavish to award Nietes the knockout victory 2:26 into the opening round.
Before landing that knockout punch, Nietes had to survive a stunning left hand he received from Vazquez.
Nietes, the reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) minimumweight champion, plans to challenge the winner of the WBO interim junior flyweight title bout between Jesus Geles and Ramon Garcia Hirales.
Pinoy Pride 5, jointly promoted by ALA Promotions and ABS-CBN Sports, will be aired on Channel 2 on Sunday starting at 10:15 a.m.
