‘El Trencito’ staggered the latter in a few moments during the fight. But Donnie Nietes kept his slick defense on top to dodge the heat coming off Carrillo’s hands.

In round 7, the veteran caught Carrillo with some solid right hand and combinations the latter kept himself in control and ate those hits well. The duo traded enough punches with each other throughout the 30 mins, but the Phillipino boxer came out on top in this fight and claimed an easy win.
