Viloria hospitalized after loss to Tamara
MANILA, Philippines — Hawaiian Brian Viloria was sent to a hospital from apparent exhaustion soon after his TKO defeat by Colombia’s Carlos Tamara in Saturday’s IBF light flyweight title fight, a boxing official said.
Referee Bruce McTavish stopped the fight 1:45 into the 12th and final round.
Soon after the bout ended, Viloria was taken from his locker room and rushed to a local hospital in an ambulance. His camp did not immediately give details of what happened inside the room after the fight.
Viloria was later transferred to the Makati Medical Center for more tests, including a brain scan, said Nasser Cruz, head of the boxing division chief of the Philippine Games and Amusement Board.
Doctors at the hospital found nothing wrong with Viloria after he underwent neck and chest X-rays and a brain CT scan, Cruz said.

It’s a clearer picture now, that those petite pilipinos can’t fight. As you see boxing consists of more elements than just throwing the punches. A boxer physically has to be strong to take punches. Most of those little monkeys get into the ring and throw punches and they feel good about it, but when the pitbull throws the bombs at them they can’t handle the severity of the consequences. Again, the real boxer is the one who can take more than give back. |
