RISING super-featherweight Justin Viloria kept his unbeaten streak after making quick work of Juan Centeno on Sunday at the Thunder Studios in Long Beach Carson, California.
The nephew of two-time world champion and Olympian Brian Viloria, the 20-year-old protégé demolished Centeno in just a single round of their scheduled six-round bout.
Viloria came out smoking from opening bell and overwhelmed Centeno with vicious combinations that had the Nicaraguan fighter down on his knee just 30 seconds into the first round.
Two powerful body shots and several rapid combinations had the referee finally jumping to the rescue of Centeno and putting the fight to a stop at the 1:04 mark of the first round.
Viloria raised his record to 8-0 including six by KOs barely two years since turning pro.
He is the son of former US Army Dominic Viloria, who also acts as his trainer.
Dominic of course, is the brother of the now 44-year-old Brian Viloria, the retired former world champion who once reigned as unified WBA and WBO flyweight title holder and WBC and IBF light-flyweight king.
The Viloria-Centeno bout served as one of the undercards in the Nicholas Walters-Luis Torres lightweight match which the Mexican won via a third round stoppage.
The comebacking Walters, 39, and known as the 'Axe Man,' is best remembered for his sixth round TKO of Filipino Nonito Donaire for the WBA featherweight title in 2014.
