Villa, a 32-year-old from Colombia, is an action fighter with a record of 27-3 (25 KOs). Two of those losses came in his past three fights. The first was a bruising, brilliant 10-round knockout loss to Jaron “Boots” Ennis, in which Villa took severe damage but also arguably pushed Ennis harder than any other opponent to date. When Ricardo Salas Rodriguez then knocked out the typically durable Villa in his next bout, it seemed Ennis might have cracked Villa’s chin. But in his most recent bout, Villa stopped Alexander Duran, 21-2 (7 KOs), in four rounds. Veron figures to be a stiffer test.
