Trainer Marvin Somodio said that former world champion Brian “The Hawaiian Punch” Viloria would shine again in 2018. “He (Viloria) is very much determined to be a world champion again and we believe that he’s still capable of doing it,” Somodio, one of the trainers in Freddie Roach’s Wildcard Gym told The Manila Times in an overseas call. Viloria lost to Nicaraguan Roman Gonzalez last October 17, 2015 via 10th round knockout. He tried to finish off Chocolatito (Gonzalez) in the first round, but he could not sustain his aggression in the later rounds. 1 WBA flyweight Dalakian, 30, is undefeated in 15 fights, 11 of which he won by way of knockout.
