Tomorrow, February 19, 2006, Brian Viloria will have his first title defense against Jose Antonio Aguirre of Tabasco, Mexico at the Aladdin Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas.
Their match is part of the “Real Warriors” pay-per-view card which includes fighters Antonio Margarito fighting, Manuel ‘Shot Gun’ Gomez of Laredo, Texas,Ivan ‘Iron Boy’ Calderon of Puerto Rico and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. of Culiacan, Mexico.
Brian who is known as the “Hawaiian Punch” is proud of his heritage, proud to be a Filipino. His stunning knockout of Eric Ortiz in just the first round, is considered as the knockout of the year for 2005. Brian became an instant star for boxing fans around the world, particularly the Hawaiians and Filipinos.
His opponent, Jose Antonio Aguirre boasts a record of (33-4-1, 20 KOs). While Viloria has a record of (18-0, 12 KOs). Based on his record, Aguirre is a seasoned fighter and quite a good one at that. 20 KOs in 33 bouts is a very good accomplishment so Viloria would have to be in hist best condition and not take his opponent lightly in order for him to win. But based on his previous fights and his attitude, I know that Viloria would be ready for this bout.
Let us continue to pray and support our fellow Filipino, Brian Viloria.

i wasn’t that impressed with Viloria’s performance last Sunday. maybe because i was expecting a knockout. we should also give credit to his opponent, Jose Antonio Aguirre who fought hard and withstood Viloria’s hard punches. yeah, i know. i could have gotten the fight results ealier if i wanted to, but i want to watch the match and see how it unfolds myself.
