VILORIA WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO BEAT UNDEFEATED ?CHOCOLATITO? GONZALEZ

Former two division world champion Brian Viloria is prepared to do ?whatever it takes? to beat undefeated WBC flyweight champion and pound for pound No.1 Roman ?Chocolatito? Gonzalez of Nicaragua in a battle which the WBC itself said has ?an overwhelming weight of expectations? on the undercard of the middleweight unification bout between Gennady Golovkin of Kazakhstan and Canada?s David Lemieux at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

The exciting fight card will be telecast over TV 5 at 1:00 p.m.

Both fighters weighed an identical 111.4 pounds at the official weigh-in.

Viloria told Boxing Scene ?this is the best training camp I?ve ever had. I never looked or felt better than have for any of my other fights. I am really relaxed and ready. I will do whatever it takes to get a win. If I feel that boxing him will do the job I'll do that. If I feel like going at him toe to toe and it will get it done I?ll do that. I?ll adjust in the ring and adjust in the fight when I see fit.?

Viloria?s trainer Marvin Somodio, the Filipino assistant of Freddie Roach told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that his sparring with WBO light flyweight champion Donnie Nietes helped both fighters and emphasized that Viloria?s stamina was great and he is in good condition for what should be a great fight.

Somodio told us that Viloria has ?an advantage against ?Chocolatito? whose style was perfect for Brian.?

He predicted ?no running. It will be a face-to-face, action-packed fight.?
