Veteran referee Vic Drakulich has been appointed by WBC President Jose Sulaiman to be the third man on the ring when superstar Manny Pacquiao defends his WBC International super-featherweight crown on April 14 against Mexico’s Jorge Solis.
Drakulich was also the same refereee who worked Pacquiao’s third fight against Erik Morales last November 18 which ended in a third-round blowout.
Drakulich had also worked the Eagle Kyowa-Rodel Mayol bout, as well as the some bouts of Oscar De la Hoya, Jorge Arce, Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez, Jose Luis Castillo, Joel Casamayor and many other big bouts in the past.
If the fight goes the distance, set to render decision are judges Larry O’Connell (England), Gale Van Hoy (Texas), and Oren Shellenberger (Texas).
Pacquiao is currently training at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, while Solis is gearing up for the fight in a mountain in Mexico together with his world champion brother Ulises, who holds the IBF light-flyweight title.
