Pongsaklek wins in two
Pongsaklek Wonjongkam has retained his WBC flyweight title with a second-round stoppage against Argentina's Luis Lazarte.
The win was the Thai's third defence of a title he won in March with victory over the previously unbeaten Malcolm Tunacao of the Philippines. Pongsaklek caught Lazarte with a left hook halfway through the second that sent his opponent sprawling. Although the Argentine was quickly back on his feet, he looked unsteady and failed to beat the count. Talks are already underway for a fourth defence which may see Pongsaklek fight South Africa's Masibulele Makepula in England in March.
