Pedro Rubén Décima (born March 10, 1964) is an Argentine former professional boxer.

Amateur career

As an amateur Decima represented Argentina as a bantamweight at the 1984 Olympic Games. His results were:

• 1st round bye
• Defeated Tshoza Mukuta (Zaire) 5-0
• Defeated Çemal Öner (Turkey) 4-1
• Lost to Dale Walters (Canada) 0-5

Professional career

Decima turned pro in 1984 and captured the WBC super bantamweight title with an upset TKO win over Paul Banke in 1990, a fight in which Banke was knocked down three times in the 4th round. He lost the belt in his first defense to Kiyoshi Hatanaka in 1991.[1] He would go on to suffer another defeat a year later against contender Rudy Zavala,[2] and would end up retiring in 1993.

At his age, he works as a public boxer trainer in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
