And on high of all that the fighter generally known as Pac-Man is seeking to come again to the ring once more, this time reportedly to face Rolly Romero in what would really be an intriguing battle.
Romero in spite of everything shocked Ryan Garcia when the 2 males fought final spring. Ramiro, who was generally known as a brawler and little else placed on a terrific boxing efficiency that night time. Nonetheless his energy, showmanship and skill to brawl make him an ideal opponent for Pacquiao. Then once more Ramiro could be a harmful opponent as properly.
