Showing a big heart, Filipino challenger Brian Viloria had every reason to keep his head high despite bowing to top pound-for-pound fighter Roman Gonzalez for the WBC flyweight title on Sunday (Manila time) at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Viloria was knocked down in the third round but displayed great resolve and was able to stay on his feet before the referee stopped the fight in the ninth round amid another onslaught by Gonzalez.
