Viloria Defeats Garcia
By Manuel Perez: Former World Boxing Council (WBC) light flyweight champion Brian Viloria (24-2, 14 KOs) continued moving forward with his comeback, defeating journeyman Benjamin Garcia (13-11-3, 1 KOs) by a 2nd round stoppage on Friday night at the Alameda Swap Meet, in Los Angeles, California. Viloria, 28, hurt Garcia with a left to the head, staggering him in the second. Viloria then followed up with a flurry of shots, putting Garcia down with a left-right combination.

Viloria Stops Valdez
By Jim Dower: Former WBC light flyweight champion Brian Viloria (22-2, 13 KOs) stopped journeyman fighter Fred Hernto Valdez (10-18, 5 KOs) in the 3rd round of a scheduled 10-round bout on Saturday night at the Plaza Monumental, Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico. Viloria, 27, initially hurt Valdez with a big right hand earlier in the round, and then later on finished the matter with a powerful left hook the body. Valdez, 32, went down in a delayed reaction after getting hit with the body shot. He bravely made it up at the count of seven, but the referee didn’t like how he looked and promptly stopped the fight to prevent him from having to take any further punishment from Viloria.
The fight was one-sided to begin with and it’s unclear why Viloria decided it was a good idea to fight Valdez to begin with. So far, it’s been two years since Viloria lost his WBC light flyweight title to Omar Nino Romero and a year since Viloria lost a majority decision to Edgar Sosa while attempting to regain his former WBC light flyweight championship. Now three fights later, it seems as if it’s time already for Viloria to get back on the horse and start fighting top level competition once again.
