Nietes fight in Mexico
postponed anew
BY NIDA BUENAFE
For the third time, World Boxing Organization mini-weight Donnie Nietes’ scheduled world title defense in Mexico against interim champion Manuel Vargas was postponed from Aug. 1 to September 5.
ALA Promotions chief Tony Aldeguer yesterday confirmed the news, adding that the postponement will certainly have some adverse effect on Nietes’ condition and mental preparedness.
“But he is still ready to do battle,” Aldeguer said, adding that ALA Promotions will come up with its own solution if the Sept. 5 schedule will be moved to a later date again.

| Jones Cup reveals The eight-day nine-team tournament in Taipei where Powerade Team suffered sound thrashings from their opponents including champion Iran, revealed RP team’s inadequacies: lack of foreign exposure, unfamiliarity with international rules, contrasting style of play. Jordan finished behind Iran and made the final game controversial by staging a walkout over officiating. The Iran vs. Jordan championship battle only stressed the deficiencies of the Filipino team, and underscored coach Yeng Guiao pronouncements before the team left the Philippine soil that they should display speed, defense and accurate shooting to counter the opposition’s size advantage. |
