The extremely likable manager of former two division world champion Brian Viloria tells the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that the ?best birthday gift and one that would be a wonderful birthday gift? will be a victory by Brian over undefeated No.2 ranked pound for pound WBC flyweight champion Roman Gonzalez of Nicaragua.
Gittelsohn who was greeted by the World Boxing Council on its internet site on Wednesday said Viloria was like a son to him and that Brian and his wife Erika are ?a wonderful couple and I feel privileged that they are part of my life.?
Referring to Viloria?s training at the Wild Card Gym of Freddie Roach, Gittelsohn said ?it's going terrifically? and that Brian ?looks motivated, is fast and is doing really well in the gym.?
He said Viloria ?will pick up the sparring a little more but even now has a bit of spring in his legs because he is the challenger.?
Gittelsohn confirmed that ALA Gym trainer Edito ?Ala? Villamor had spoken to longtime friend and part-time trainer of Viloria, Ruben Jimenez and that they had worked out a schedule for sparring between Viloria and WBO light flyweight champion Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes arrives in Los Angeles in mid-September.
Viloria?s manager told us the sparring ?is going to be great for both of them? since they both have tiyle fights on October 17, with Nietes headlining ?Pinoy Pride 33? at the StubHub Center in Carson City, California and Viloria featured on the supporting bout on the Gennady Golovkin-Lucas Matthyse showdown at New York?s famed Madison Square Garden.
