MACAU -- The press conference at the Venecian Macau was full of new stars and some that have been around for over 10 years.
The Hawaiian punch Brian Viloria is building his big time career again at 33 years of age when he takes on tough Mexican Flyweight Jose Alfredo Zuniga with a 11 wins 5 loss record at the Cotai Arena at the Venetian in Macau.
Former world champion Brian Viloria has infromed Philboxing that he is very fit and looking to put on a impressive performance on Saturday night and wants to fight for a world title again.
"I am 33 years old but still feel very young and still love boxing and now I have a child in my life I have learned to change diapers," Viloria said as he laughs. "And it's really given me extra motivation to keep going in my boxing career."
Brian Viloria's opponent looks fit and tough at the press conference and did seem fazed... Jose Alfredo Zuniga, 25 years old, has just come off a decision loss for a Interim Light Flyweight WBA World title against Alberto Rossel and he told us he is very fit and ready for anything on Saturday night.
The Top Rank card is action packed with top 5 pound for pound Cuban sensation Guillermo Rigondeaux who takes on Thai Sod Kokietgym.
2 times Olympic gold medalist Zou Shiming, who is very popular in China, is fighting Luis La Rosa which should be a good test for him. Also on the card is undefeated super middelweight Gilberto Ramirez Sanchez who has 28 wins with 22 knockouts and who has big wraps put on him as a future World champion.
