Brian Viloria Vs Juan Francisco Estrada - Fight Preview


By James McKnight @JamesMcKnight83


If you have never seen Brian 'Hawaiian Punch' Viloria fight before, then boxingheads, you are in for a real treat this weekend! On April 6, in the Chinese District of Macao, the 32-year-old Hawaiian will be defending his WBO flyweight and WBA Super World flyweight titles against Mexican, Juan 'El Gallo' Estrada. 

Viloria (32-3-0, 19 KO's), is a former IBF and WBC light-flyweight champion and has suffered 3 losses in his career to date which have all come in the 108lb light-flyweight division. 

Viloria's first defeat as a pro came in 2006 against Mexican Omar Nino Romero where Viloria lost his WBC light-flyweight title. 'Hawaiian Punch' lost for the second time as a pro in 2007 to another Mexican in Edgar Sosa. On that occasion, Viloria was aiming to reclaim the WBC light-flyweight title. Viloria's third and last defeat came in January 2010 to (no, not another Mexican), but Columbian, Carlos Tamara. That loss meant that Viloria had lost his IBF light-flyweight title.

Rocky Martinez Vs Diego Magdaleno - Fight Preview


By Jack Sumner @Jack_Sumner_


Roman ‘Rocky’ Martinez makes the second defence of his WBO super featherweight title on Saturday, entering the Venetian Hotel and Casino to defend his crown on foreign soil against Las Vegas native Diego Magdaleno.

Of course the Puerto Rican would be on foreign soil you might say and what’s the big deal about him fighting in the world’s boxing capital? But Magdaleno won’t enjoy home advantage either on the night, as the fight will not be taking place in Sin City.

The 130-pounders have travelled across the globe to Macau, China, where they will meet in the ring at the Venetian Macao Resort Hotel. Martinez-Magdaleno will be part of a stacked card in Top Rank’s first promotion in China, which they hope to be the first of many after signing Chinese junior flyweight Zou Shiming, a triple Olympic medallist who makes his pro debut in a four-rounder.
