Filipino American boxer Brian "Hawaiian Punch" Viloria outslugged Mexican fighter Jose Antonio "El Jaguar" Aguirre to retain the World Boxing Council light flyweight belt at the Alladin Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was an unanimous decision for the judges after 12 rounds.
Viloria started off slow against Aguirre but came back in the second and third rounds and rallied all the way into the remaining period. Aguirre sufferd a severe cut in the forehead which Viloria used to his advantage.
The 25-year-old Viloria (19-0, 12 KOs), who won the belt with a first-round knockout of Eric Ortiz in September, claimed the cards by scores of 116-112 (.J. Ross),117-111 (Glenn Trowbridge) and 116-112 (Ray Hawkins).
The Hawaiian Punch's victory came following the win of another Filipino boxing icon, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, against another Mexican, Erik "El Terrible" Morales, on January 21, also in Las Vegas. Incidentally, Pacquiao and Morales will have face each other for the third time in September this year.
