The fight between Manny Pacquiao and Rolando “Rolly” Romero could happen after Pacquiao’s impressive fight against Mario Barrios in Las Vegas. Although it ended in a controversial majority draw, the 46-year-old boxing legend remains determined to regain the championship in the welterweight division.
Romero, the current WBA welterweight champion, is open to facing Pacquiao. In the interview, Romero said it would be a great honor for him to fight a Hall of Famer like Pacquiao. Romero has a record of 17 wins, 2 losses, and 13 knockouts, and is known for his aggressive style in the ring.
According to Sean Gibbons of MP Promotions, this fight is a good fit. He mentioned that Romero is tough and aggressive but slow on his feet, so this is a great opportunity for Pacquiao to make history as the oldest welterweight champion.
Pacquiao is looking to reclaim history after losing the title against Barrios. If the fight with Romero goes ahead, it could pave the way for him to regain victory and a title before retiring completely.
