Fight Synopsis:

Brian Viloria (22-2, 13 KOs) had journeyman fighter Fred Hernto Valdez on his knees in the mat by the 3rd round of their scheduled 10-round bout at the Plaza Monumental, Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico. Viloria pained Valdez immediately with a big right hand earlier in the first round of this May 17, 2008 duel. See in the video how dominating Valdez was in the 2nd round.

Viloria had a lot of in and out movements, hitting Valdez and then quickly getting out of range to prevent him from answering with his own shots. At the end of the round, Viloria unloaded with a huge flurry of shots, catching Valdez cleanly with almost every shot. Valdez started off well in the 3rd, hitting Viloria with hard left hands. Viloria responded with right-left combination, then another right hand that staggered Valdez and caused him to back away. Valdez eventually regained composure firing up a combination to the body.

Viloria then triggered back to rights to Valdez’s body. But it was his perfectly placed left hook to the liver that dropped Valdez on the mat. His finishing touch was a powerful left hook the body. His opponent sprawled in the canvas after getting hit with the body shot. He stood up at the count of seven, but the referee didn’t like how he looked and promptly stopped the fight to prevent him suffering more from the Filipino fighter.
