Viloria back in ring in
6-rounder on ESPN

Flyweight boxer Brian Viloria returns to the ring today to put his unbeaten (5-0, 3 KOs) record on the line against Julio Cesar Oyuela (7-4-2, 2 KOs) in a six-rounder on the ESPN-televised "Super Brawl Sunday" in Cincinnati.

The ESPN broadcast begins at 11 a.m. Hawaii time. To document Viloria's preparation for this fight, MaxBoxing.com was granted exclusive access to Viloria's training sessions, and the result is a three-minute web documentary that captures the development of this highly regarded prospect.

The Waipahu native, who boxed in the 2000 Olympics, began his professional career on Oahu last May. He broke his hand in that fight, which set him back somewhat, but he has since shaken off the effects of the break.

Tiari Keliinoi followed her in the order with three hits.

Mallory Anderson went all the way for HPU, giving up only four hits and not allowing an earned run.
