?El Matador? Villanueva out of PP9 due to injury By Jerome S. Galunan Jr. PhilBoxing.com Sun, 02 Oct 2011 Arthur Villanueva. BACOLOD CITY ? The Filipino ring prospect and undefeated Arthur ?El Matador? Villanueva was pulled out from the highly anticipated mega boxing card of Pinoy Pride 9 due to severe hand injury. Villanueva was originally scheduled to face his first foreign opponent Kenyan Shaabani Madilu in the undercard of the Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes ? Ramon ?Principe? Garcia WBO Light Flyweight title on Oct. 8 at the University of St. La Salle. Early Saturday, while the super flyweight fighter from Bacolod City was having his lunch, he accidentally sliced his left middle finger cutting a major vein on it.
