      <title>Viloria defeats Romero via 9th round TKO</title>
      <description>
Viloria vs. Romero III Results
Brian Viloria finally got the edge over Omar Nino Romero, defeating him via 9th round TKO to retain his WBO flyweight title. Romero's corner halted the action in the 9th stanza as Viloria pummeled him along the ropes. With the win, Viloria was able to erase their previous two encounters, in which Romero first defeated him via Unanimous Decision in 2006 at junior flyweight, and then a rematch between the two men ended in Majority Draw before being&#160; ruled a no contest after Romero failed a drug test.
Viloria's win also continues his career resurgence. Written off by many people, he's now the de facto number 1 guy in the world at flyweight.By moving past his old rival, he can now focus on bigger fights in the near future. His confidence must now be at all-time high after a huge upset win against Giovani Segura, and this victory against Romero.
Viloria now improves to 31 (18) - 3, while Romero falls to 31 (13) - 5 - 2.
In earlier action, Rodel...</description>

      <title>Viloria-Romero III PPV this weekend live from Manila</title>
      <description>
Four of the leading flyweight boxers in the world  will be in action Saturday on the &quot;Island Assault 4: The Battle&quot;  pay-per-view-event, featuring Brian &quot;Hawaiian Punch&quot; Viloria vs. Omar Nino Romero III, live from Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
In addition to Viloria-Romero III, the co-feature showcases former world champions Julio Cesar &quot;Pingo&quot; Miranda (37-6-1, 29 KOs) and Rodel &quot;Kid Rapido&quot; Mayol (30-5-2, 22 KOs), in a 10-round bout with future world flyweight title fight implications.
The  completion of the Viloria-Romero trilogy, originally slated for March  31, was temporarily delayed because the Nevada State Athletic Commission  prevented the World Boxing Organization (&quot;WBO&quot;) from sanctioning the  fight due to unpaid penalties on Romero's part. From 2006, Romero has  amassed a total of $11,500 in penalties which he needed to pay before  the fight is sanctioned.

Now six years later, these  two will settle the score at flyweight.

You have to take your hat off to Viloria, 30-3 (17 KOs), for resurrecting his career after it appeared to be over. After an up-and-down run, he was stopped by the unheralded Carlos Tamara. After a scary post-fight scene, where Viloria was hospitalized, it appeared to be a &#8220;wrap.&#8221;
He had a good career, won a couple belts,...</description>

      <title>Viloria-Romero III officially rescheduled for May 12</title>
      <description>
The &quot;Island Assault 4: The Battle&quot; pay-per-view-event, featuring a trilogy showdown between three-time world champion Brian &quot;Hawaiian Punch&quot; Viloria (30-3, 16 KOs) and former two-time world champion Omar Nino Romero (30-42, 12 KOs), has  been rescheduled from its original March 31 date to Saturday night, May  12, live from Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City, Metro Manila,  Philippines.
Viloria will defend  his World Boxing Organization (&quot;WBO&quot;) title belt against Romero in the  12-round main event. Viloria was a 2000 U.S. Olympian who won his first  20 pro fights, until he lost the World Boxing Council (&quot;WBC&quot;) light  flyweight championship to Romero by way of a 12-round unanimous decision  in 2006. Three months later, their rematch ended in a draw and was  later changed to a &quot;no contest&quot; when Romero failed the post-fight drug  test.
The completion of the  Viloria-Romero trilogy will have to wait a little longer as the Nevada  State At...</description>

Viloria always feels at home in Philippines
Three-time world champion Brian &quot;Hawaiian Punch&quot; Viloria always feels at home fighting in the Philippines. He's looking forward to avenging his first pro loss and completing the Omar Nino Romero trilogy there March 31, headlining the &quot;Island Assault 4: The Battle&quot;  pay-per-view-event, live from Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City, Metro  Manila, Philippines.

&quot;Fighting in the  Philippines is like a double-edged sword for me,&quot; said Viloria, a dual  citizen of the United States and Philippines. &quot;It can hurt if I try to  do too much performing well in front of family, friends and fans. It  helps, though, when I need energy and get it from the crowd chanting my  name to urge you on. I get that extra push from the crowd. It's  different for every fighter but I love fighting there at home.
&quot;I love the way they treat me. They love their fighters, like Manny (Pacquiao),  and have...</description>

For Viloria (30-3, 16  KOs), his third fight against Romero (30-42, 12 KOs) will complete their  trilogy and, hopefully, avenge his first loss as a pro. Viloria was a  2000 U.S. Olympian who won his first 20 pro fights, until he lost his  World Boxing Council (&quot;WBC&quot;) light flyweight belt to Romero by way of a  12-round unanimous decision in 2006. Three months later, their rematch  ended in a draw and was later changed to a &quot;no contest&quot; when Romero  failed the post-fight drug test.
&quot;I want to clean the  slate this fight,&quot; Viloria said. &quot;...</description>

&quot;US boxing fans loved  watching 'Island Assault 3' last December, showcasing Viloria versus  (Giovani) Segura, on top of an action-packed card from the Philippines,&quot;  Integrated Sports Media president Doug Jacobs said. &quot;These are two of  the top smaller-weight class boxers in the world who have five world  titles between them. This show, of course, continues the heated Filipino  vs. Mexican boxing rivalry that is one of the most intense in the sport  today. An equally exciting undercard will soon be announced.&quot;
Three-time and  reigning world champion Viloria (29-3, 16 KOs), a dual citize...</description>
