Going into his October 2nd fight with Paulo Da Silva, Romie Adanza was facing a dilemma many horror movie heroines have to deal with. Sometimes the bad guys just keep coming back. Much like what Michael Myers is to Jamie Lee Curtis character in Halloween, and Freddy Krueger is to the kids of Elm Street, Paulo Da Silva is to Romie Adanza. The only difference is that Paulo Da Silva isn’t a homicidal maniac; however, he is a bad man inside the ring with great skill.
Adanza had already had three fights with Da Silva, coming into the fourth bout. Adanza took the first, Da Silva the second, and then Adanza the third. You would think it would be over since normally the rubber match is the fight to settle things between fighters who have split two fights previously, but filling in on short notice for Haigang Huang, Da Silva returned for a fourth fight.
