(أبريل 16, 2018) – Prized prospect روبن فيلا(11-0, 4 كوس) continued his upward trajectory by thoroughly dismantling Marlon Olea (13-3, 12 كوس) to win the vacant WBO Youth Featherweight Title Saturday night from his hometown of Salinas, كاليفورنيا.

فيلا, just days before his twenty-first birthday, headlined his first event and won his first title in front of a raucous home crowd. The southpaw delivered an impressive performance, winning every round on all three scorecards (80-72 X3).

“It’s exactly how I wanted to end this night,” سعيد فيلا, الذي تمت ترقيته بواسطة Banner Promotions و Thompson Boxing. “I blocked out the crowd and just did what I had to do. Olea moves around a lot, but I was able to land whatever I wanted.”

After a feeling out first round, Villa turned up the heat in the second. Both hands began to split Olea’s guard, which became a constant theme throughout the 8-round title fight.

As in his other fights, Villa consistently landed a seldom used punch by most boxers, a stiff jab to the midsection that neutralized the Colombian’s attack.
