This coming weekend we'll see Filipino legend Donnie Nietes (42-1-5, 23) return for his first bout since a December 31st 2018 win over Kazuto Ioka. The brilliant 4 weight world champion will be hoping for a triumphant return here as he takes on Colombian fighter Pablo Carrillo (25-7-1, 16) for the WBO International Super Flyweight title, on a show promoted by MTK promotions over in Dubai.
Aged 38 and with more than 2 years out of the ring this return to action for Nietes is expected to answer a lot of questions about what "Ahas" has left in the tank. The bookies however see it as a mismatch, and make the Filipino a very clear favourite, best priced at 1/8. Carrillo on the other hand is a strangely attractive 6/1 to win. The draw is priced at 22/1.
For those looking for more value in their bets there is a "Method of victory" market available here. The favoured outcome with the bookies is a decision win for Nietes, which is priced at evens as we type this. A stoppage for Nietes is seen as the second most likely result, and is priced at 13/8.
For Carrillo backers a stoppage for the Colombian is a huge 10/1 whilst a decision for him is an even heftier 20/1.
The bout also has a "To go the distance" market available. This is among the most interesting here. The bout it 10/11 to go the scheduled distance ant 5/4 to finish within the distance. A really tough one to call given that Carrillo is tough and Nietes may well take a few rounds to shake some ring rust.
