Margarito drops Gomez in 1, Viloria handles Aguirre

It took Antonio Margarito’s right hand 74 seconds to take out Manuel Gomez and retain the WBO welterweight title last night.

Margarito, whose record now stands at 33-4 (25), will no doubt want a shot at the winner of Mayweather-Judah. His fan base will surely grow even larger after the impressive win over Gomez, but the win may also reinforce his reputation as a fighter too dangerous to touch.

Brian Viloria was also on last night’s card. He outpointed Jose Antonio Aguirre to retain his WBC light flyweight championship, improving his record to 19-0 (12).

Maxboxing’s Doug Fischer has a great recap of the entire card.
