American David Mendoza has been named as referee for the flyweight unification title fight between WBO champion Brian Viloria of the Philippines and WBA champion Hernan ?Tyson? Marquez of Mexico at the LA Sports Arena on Sunday, Manila Time.

World Boxing Organization (WBO) president Francisco ?Paco?
