Viloria wins in first

PHILADELPHIA >> Brian Viloria, a former Olympian from Waipahu, scored a first-round technical knockout over Sheldon Wile in a four-round flyweight bout last night at the Blue Horizon.

Viloria, a 112-pound right-hander, looked sharp and successfully landed three turnover left hooks to the body that scored all three first-round knockdowns.

He pinned Wile, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, against the ropes for most of the fight with solid right jabs that set up his left hooks.
