Brian Viloria retains IBF light flyweight title

HONOLULU -- Brian Viloria saved a little for a “Rocky-like” ending for the hometown crowd.

Viloria didn't get the Hollywood knockout he was hoping for, but earned a 12-round, unanimous decision over Jesus Iribe to retain the IBF light flyweight championship on Saturday night.

Viloria, nicknamed “The Hawaiian Punch,” controlled the fast-paced bout in front of his hometown crowd, starting and ending with a flurry of punches.

The bigger Iribe broke his right hand in the second round, but the Mexican still slugged it out the entire fight.
