    Son of Assisi, tough, underpowered fighter with a cutie style and really cool footwork. Would switch back and forth from orthodox and southpaw when inspired, quick hook of the jab... Wins of Chris Pyatt, twice over Dele, beat Van Horn twice, Troy Waters and Lupe Aquino.

    Share your fond remembrances of this great man and his great careerÂ…

    I saw him beat Van Horn, at the time Van Horn was on top of his game, I was so young at the time but that is when I was coming to the realization that white boxers from the US would struggle in this sport.....Todd Foster is another bleeder.........but Rossi went on to have a solid career, but nobody knew about him because he fought over seas a lot.... but he beat Van Horns ****in ass
