On Saturday, March 28th, the WBA/WBO unified flyweight champion Juan Francisco "Gallo" Estrada of Mexico will defend his belts against the Filipino Rommel Asenjo at the Poliforum Zamna in Merida, Mexico.
WBO appointed the referee José Rivera, and the judges Roberto Ramírez (PUR) and Joe García (US). The supervisor will be Rolando Marcos Hermoso.
The WBA appointed Raúl Nieves (PUR) as judge and Aurelio Fiengo (PAN) as supervisor.
“Gallo” Estrada (31-2, 22 KO) is confident of beating his opponent, whom he considers to be a strong boxer with a good punch and assures that he will be careful. One thing he is not concerned about is Asenjo (26-3, 20 KO) being a southpaw, because champion has already faced several and beaten several of them.
