Viloria at Nietes nagtutulungan sa kanilang paghahanda sa laban

Russell Cadayona - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines – Parehong sasabak sa ak­syon sina dating two-division world champion Brian ‘The Hawaiian Punch’ Viloria at world flyweight champion Donnie ‘Ahas’ Nie­tes.

Kaya naman sila mismo ang nagtutulungan pa­ra maihanda ang isa’t isa sa kanilang mga laban sa Oktubre 17.

“Great work, great guy,” sabi ni Viloria matapos ma­kipag-sparring kay Nietes sa Wild Card Boxing Gym ni trainer Freddie Roach sa Hollywood, California.

Kumpiyansa si Viloria na matagumpay na ma­idedepensa ni Nietes (36-1-4, 21 knockouts) ang kan­yang suot na World Boxing Organization light flyweight crown laban kay Mexican challenger Juan Alejo (21-3-0, 13 KOs) sa ‘Pinoy Pride 33’ sa StubHub Center sa Carson City, California.

“I know he’s going to do well on the 17th. We were helping each other prepare for our respective matches, and it was great work. I like the guy,” wika ni Viloria.

Sa Oktubre 17 rin ay pi­pilitin ni Viloria (36-4-0, 22 KOs) na agawin kay Nicaraguan Roman ‘Chocola­tito’ Gonzalez (43-0-0, 37 KOs) ang bitbit nitong World Boxing Council flyweight belt sa Madison Square Garden sa New York City.

Sinabi ni Viloria na ma­laki ang maitutulong ni Nie­tes sa kanyang preparas­yon para kay Gonzalez, si­­nasabing susunod na ipi­­nosteng 49-0-0 record ni­na world five-division titlist Floyd Mayweather, Jr. at heavyweight legend Rocky Marciano.

“I just trained myself to be the best for this fight, and knowing what kind of challenges is waiting for me next week, I’m just prepa­ring myself to the best that night, wanting to perform,” ani Viloria. “I just want to take it to Chocolatito.”

Matapos maagaw ang kanyang mga suot na WBA at WBO flyweight belts ni Juan Estrada noong Abril ng 2013 ay apat na sunod na panalo ang ipinoste ni Viloria na tinampukan ng tat­long knockouts.

Ang huling pinabagsak ni Viloria ay si dating world title challenger Omar Soto sa first round sa kanilang re­match noong Hulyo 25 sa Hollywood, California.
