Pro career
Pacenza turned pro in 1953 and spent most of his career fighting in Argentina. In late 1953 he was knocked out by Atilio Natalio Caraune, in a fight for the vacant Argentine (FAB) light heavyweight title, which was vacated by Amado Azar. Caraune relinquished the title without defending it on August 1, 1956. Pacenza retired in 1956, having won 14, lost 4, and drawn 1.[2]
