Viloria Lithelessly Loses WBC Crown; Gabi Awesome In Come-Back Fight

Orleans Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV, US - Thursday night, August 8, Filipino-Hawaiian Brian "Hawaiian Punch" Viloria failed in his 2nd defense of the WBC Light Flyweight Title as he lost via Unanious Decision against Mexican challenger Omar Nino Romero.

Taking nothing from Romero, who in every way deserves the win, Viloria's showing was totally litheless and anemic. It was definitely a surprise as Viloria is known for a very active, though tactical, style of boxing.

Romero did nothing special, but he was the more active fighter in all of the 12 rounds. Viloria was only contented on waiting on Romero to counter.

The scores went: Adalaide Byrd (118-110), Chuck Giampa (117-111), Mark Green (117-112), all in favor of Romero.

Romero now has a couple of big names under his belt. Aside from Viloria, Romero already defeated Jorge Arce.

Omar now has a 24-2-1 (10KOs) record while the erstwhile undefeated Viloria drops to a 19-1 (12KOs) slate.

The Filipino crowd who watched the event did not went home unhappy though. On one of the undercards, Diosdado "Lion Heart" Gabi performed wonderfully in his come-back fight after his devastating loss against Vic Darchinyan.

Gabi went up in weight and fought as a Bantamweight for the first time. He went against Colombian veteran Mauricio "El Pintoso" Pastrana.

The fight went very fast, Gabi knocking Pastrana twice in the first round. Referee Richard Steele stopped the fight in the 1:36 mark of the 1st round of the supposedly 8-round fight.

Gabi now sports a 27-3-1 (19KOs) record while Pastrana dropped to 32-7-2 (20KOs).
