Viloria retains IBF lightflyweight title
HONOLULU (AP) — Brian Viloria earned a 12-round, unanimous decision over Jesus Iribe to retain the IBF light flyweight championship on Saturday night.
The Hawaiian Punch (26-2) controlled the fast-paced bout in front of his hometown crowd, starting and ending with a flurry of punches. The bigger Iribe broke his right hand in the second round but still slugged it out the entire fight.
The scorecards were 118-110, 117-112, 117-111 in favor of 108-pound Viloria.
With the win, Viloria's handlers are seeking a fight against WBO light flyweight champion Ivan Calderon.
