Delivering his best on a make or break match of his career.
Brian "The Hawaiian Punch" Viloria notched his third world title by stripping the WBO Flyweight Championship from Mexican Julio Cezar Miranda in their world title fight via convincing unanimous decision in one of the biggest fights in his career in front of the supportive Hawaiian crowd in Honolulu Hawaii.
The Fil-Hawaiian meant business from the start as he scored an early knockdown in the first round against an apparently shocked and weakened Miranda who had to shake off 2 pounds in the day of the fight just to meet the weight requirement.
Miranda seemed to gain his second wind in the third round as he disrupted Viloria's game plan by being aggressive and straightforward but his lack of defense proved costly throughout the fight.
Viloria regained control in the fifth round by using smart punch selection and constantly draining Miranda with well placed body shots while keeping his distance to avoid the foe's brawling style.
Miranda almost went down on the 7th round as the body blows forced him to lower his guard but he managed to hold on despite his groggy state while Viloria suffered a cut in the left eye in the process.
Viloria slowed down in the last 3 rounds but fortunately for him, his lead that he built in the earlier half of the match was enough to propel him to victory and the coveted championship belt.
