Boxer Brian Viloria knocks out Mexico’s "Tyson" Marquez, unifies flyweight titles

Brian Viloria knocked out Mexican boxer Hernan "Tyson" Marquez on Sunday to unify the WBO and WBA flyweight titles.

Abac Cordero of the Philippine Star reports Viloria knocked down Marquez in the first, fifth, and tenth rounds. After Marquez fell for the third time, "the 24-year-old Mexican got up on wobbly legs, and his trainer, Robert Garcia, threw in the towel with 1:01 left in the round."

"I'm too fast for Marquez," the Philippine Star quotes Viloria as saying. Garcia, Marquez’s corner man, used to be Viloria’s trainer.
