Viloria ready for sixth pro
fight Feb. 24 against Oyuela

Brian Viloria is set to fight Feb. 24 in Cincinnati in an event called "Super Brawl Sunday."

Four fights from the card, including Viloria's, will be televised live on ESPN.

Viloria is 5-0 with 3 knockouts and is scheduled to face Julio Cesar Oyuela of Miami, Fla., in a six-round flyweight battle.

Oyuela is moving down in weight to fight Viloria, and is 7-4-2 over his career, with two knockouts. He has only been knocked out once, something that Viloria's manager, Gary Gittelsohn, is looking for.

"One of my objectives is to give Brian some rounds," Gittelsohn said. "He's very strong and punches hard so his fights often don't last long enough to teach him. This guy (Oyuela) fits the bill, he is very durable."

The fight is scheduled to be aired live on ESPN at 11 a.m. HST.
