MANILA, Philippines — Donnie Nietes couldn’t believe it when his WBO super-flyweight title fight against countryman Ashton Palicte Sunday (Manila time) ended in a draw at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Nietes landed the clearer punches while Palicte, nine years younger and four inches taller, threw more but landed less. I landed punches,” Palicte told those at ringside. “Alam na namin ang feeling ni Manny Pacquiao (Now, we know how Manny Pacquiao felt),” said Nietes’ trainer, Edito Villamor. “They robbed Donnie Nietes of his legacy,” he said.
