Nietes’ tormentor back in Cebu to face unbeaten Servania

Indonesian boxer Angky “Time Bomb” Angkotta remains the only boxer who has beaten WBO light flyweight world champion Donnie ‘Ahas’ Nietes, besting the latter by ten-round split decision in Jakarta in 2004.
Angkotta (26W-8L-1D, 14 KOs) has also beaten Joma Gamboa and Sonny Boy Jaro, who have held world titles. He also knocked out Rocky Fuentes in one round way back in 2005. Of the 11 Pinoy boxers ha has faced, only AJ Banal managed to beat him by unanimous decision in 2006 in Mandaue City.
Angkotta,  31,  is back in Cebu confident of notching another win this Saturday when he battles unbeaten Genesis Servania in the undercard of Pinoy Pride 18 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.
Angkotta met the local press yesterday accompanied by trainer Sonny Luther Rambing and manager Ana Kadarningsih at the FORMO Restaurant and Lounge in Banilad Town Center. Also present was Rachamongkol Sor Pleonchit of Thailand with his Japanese manager Kazuto Harada. Pleonchit will face Jimrex ‘The Executioner’ Jaca.
“Servania  is a strong boxer,” Angkotta said. “I will not predict a knockout win but I will predict that I will not be knocked out. This fight is very important for me. I would like to thank ALA Promotions for another opportunity to fight here.”
Angkotta said that he sparred a total of 200 rounds for this fight and was sparring ten rounds a day. When asked if he had had any advice for Moises Fuentes, who will be challenging for Nietes’ light flyweight title, Angkotta said that Fuentes is a good boxer and the key to beat Nietes is to fight without any emotion.
The unbeaten Servania (19W-0L, 6 KOs) will definitely have vengeance on his mind when he defends his WBO Asia-Pacific super bantamweight against the brash Indon.
PLEONCHIT VS JACA
The Pleonchit vs. Jaca non-title contest will be a fight between two southpaws. Pleonchit stated that he will not have any problems with regards to the stance of his opponent. Pleonchit (13W-4L, 5 KO’s) is a former WBC international featherweight titlist and a veteran Muay Thai kick boxer.
Harada describes his fighter as having the “traditional Thai style, has a strong punch. He does not run. If he hits you, he’ll knock you out.”
Jaca (36W-6L-3D, 20 KOs) needs an impressive win so that he will be lined up for bigger fights and a crack at a regional title.
