A lot of boxing observers felt that the fight between Brian Viloria and Hernan Marquez would be a barn-burner. It turned out to be all that and some. Viloria floored Marquez with a counter left hook in the tenth round just as Marquez was throwing a barrage of punches. Marquez was able to beat the count but he had wobbly legs. Viloria continued to pour in the punches until Robert Garcia waved the towel in surrender. Viloria dictated the tempo of the fight but the dangerous Marquez was always in the thick of things. Every time Viloria looked like he was about to win, Marquez came back and threw a flurry of his own. Viloria had an auspicious start as he knocked down Marquez with a counter right hand. He invested in a lot of body shots that bothered Marquez. In the fight round, Marquez tagged Viloria with a big right hand which momentarily staggered the former Olympian. Marquez went for the kill but Viloria calmly weathered the storm. After Marquez punched himself out, Viloria floored him again with a one-two. Marquez got his second wind in the eighth and ninth rounds. At that point, Marquez knew he needed a knockout to win so he upped his work rate. Marquez attacked carelessly in the tenth, thinking that Viloria was in trouble but he got caught with one of Viloria’s patented counter left hooks. With that big win, Viloria is now the unified WBO and WBA flyweight champion, something that has not happened in boxing in almost 50 years. — BM, GMA News
