Ronnie Nathanliezs was kidding me as this picture was taken. "Eye of the tiger, Rick." the veteran sports journalist encouraged. Brian and I had quite a laugh. I was at the Punch Out Gym to interview him and Donnie Nietes. In case you've been living under a rock, the two dudes who are both world champeens have respective matches on January 23 dubbed Battle By the Bay 2 (@the Cuneta Astrodome). Brian and I go all the way back to when I was with Solar Sports and I did a bunch of stuff with him on TV and print. One time, I had to be his yayo. But we had fun as I accompanied him to make a guest appearance in Eat Bulaga, radio tours, gaming centers in Makati, and lunch and dinner in Greenhills, Eastwood, Timog, and Makati. We had fun catching up. Stay tuned for my story on him. Quite a long time coming.
Donnie Nietes. WBO Mediumweight Champ! Out to defend his title for a fourth straight time. Cool cool dude. One tough customer. I love the story I'm writing on him. Enjoyed interviewing him and writing the piece. It will be out in Business Mirror (and Brew of course) in the next few days.
