  • Influencer Roro is undergoing intense Shaolin martial arts training in China for an upcoming boxing match.
  • Her extreme training regimen has gone viral, prompting reactions from event organizer Ibai Llanos.
  • Roro is set to face streamer Rivers on July 25 in Seville, Spain, as part of 'La Velada del Aรฑo'.

The buzz around 'La Velada del Aรฑo' continues to grow, and this year, one participant's preparation has captured everyone's attention. Rocรญo Bueno, widely known as 'Roro', has taken her training to an extraordinary level, immersing herself in the ancient discipline of Shaolin martial arts in China. Videos of her rigorous regimen have exploded across social media, showcasing a transformation that has left many astonished and some, like event organizer Ibai Llanos, humorously questioning the intensity.

Llanos, known for his sharp wit and engaging commentary, couldn't help but react to the viral clips of Roro enduring what appears to be a punishing training schedule. He humorously wondered if she was preparing to fight an army rather than her scheduled opponent, Rivers, given the three weeks she's spent receiving 'blows with a wooden stick.' This lighthearted skepticism from a key figure in the event only adds to the spectacle, highlighting the unique blend of digital entertainment and combat sports that 'La Velada del Aรฑo' represents.

Roro's dedication to mastering martial arts for her upcoming bout against Mexican streamer Rivers on July 25 at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville is undeniable. Her commitment to physical discipline and mental fortitude, honed in a Shaolin Temple, is a testament to the seriousness with which she approaches this unique competition. While some may see it as exaggerated, her pursuit of excellence in both traditional arts and modern boxing is precisely the kind of compelling narrative that makes 'La Velada del Aรฑo' a must-watch event, especially from a Spanish perspective where such cross-genre entertainment is incredibly popular.

Can someone please explain to me what training Roro is doing for La Velada... why has she been in China for 3 weeks receiving blows with a wooden stick? Is she going to fight an army or Rivers?
