MANILA, Philippines - Viewers enjoyed the guesting of WBO light-flyweight titlist Donnie “Ahas” Nietes and Toni Gonzaga in the ABS-CBN sitcom TODA Max where he played as the cousin and trainer of Toni. He was also given the privilege to spar with Binoe.
According to Nietes, he enjoyed the company of the TODA Max cast and salutes comedians after realizing how difficult it is to make people laugh. He said that doing comedy is like boxing because delivering the lines should have a “punch” so it will hit and make a knockout moment.
He also invited viewers to watch Pinoy Pride 14 in June where he will face Mexican Felipe Salguero.
Alongside Nietes, two Filipinos, Milan “Metodico” Melindo and Genesis “Azukal” Servania will fight in the upcoming battle. Nietes will defend his WBO light-flyweight belt for the first time, while Melindo will try to take the vacant WBO Intercontinental Flyweight title by fighting Colombian Jesus Gelez. On the other hand, Servania will give his everything in his fight against pressure fighter Genaro “Poblanito” Garcia for the vacant WBC International Silver Super Bantamweight title. Garcia was a no-show last March in Pinoy Pride XII against Rey “Boom-Boom” Bautista in Bohol but now there’s no stopping him.
Pinoy Pride 14 will be held in Resorts World Manila on June 2 and will be shown on ABS-CBN on June 3 at 10:15 a.m. with encore telecasts on the same day on Studio 23, 1:30 p.m. and on Balls, June 8, 4:30 p.m. Live Pay-Per-View on June 2 is available on Balls HD and on TFC (Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Milan, London, and Sydney).
