At Muang in Srisaket, Thailand, WBC flyweight champion Pongsaklek Wonjongkam (77-3, 40KOs) retained his title with a close, twelve round unanimous decision over Suriyan Por Chokchai (14-5, 4KOs). The scores were 115-114, 114-113 and 115-112. It was surprising that Wonjongkam had so much trouble with a far less experienced challenger. It was the first defense of title Wonjongkam won from popular Japanese fighter Koki Kameda earlier this year.
