Erick “Mini Pacman” Rosa (5-0, 1 KO) is set to face Venezuelan veteran Orlando Pino (14-1, 8 KOs) at the Fencing Pavilion of the Santo Domingo Olympic Center, Dominican Republic. The World Boxing Association (WBA) minimum champion, Rosa, has been granted permission for this optional non-title fight before his impending showdown with Thammanoon Niyomtrong, a bout that aims to unify the division’s championship.
For Rosa, this bout against the Venezuelan veteran serves as an opportunity to remain active, accumulate more rounds, and ensure he’s in peak form for his subsequent fight against the Thai, anticipated to be the most challenging of his career.
Pino, on the other hand, is a seasoned boxer, recently having faced his career’s sole defeat. A triumph against a world champion like Rosa would mark a formidable comeback, propelling him back into the spotlight.
