DONNIE Nietes showed he hasn’t lost a step as he dominated Pablo Carillo of Colombia in his comeback fight on Saturday night at the Caesars Palace Bluewaters in Dubai.
The 38-year-old four-time world champion came away with a unanimous decision win against Carillo to herald his ring return after a 27-month layoff in the undercard of the Jamel Herring-Carl Frampton title fight for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior lightweight championship.
Nietes won by scores of 96-95, 98-92, 99-91 to improve his record at 43-1-5 (23 KOs).
