## PONGSAKLEK BLASTS OUT NAITO IN 34 SECONDS TO REGISTER SHOTEST KO DEFENSE RECORD

April 19, 2002

KHONKAEN, THAILAND-Hard-punching WBC flyweight champ Pongsaklek Singwangcha Wonjongkam (44-2, 26 KOs), 112, registered the quickest KO defense in flyweight history, as he exploded with a vicious southpaw left to the bottom of previously unbeaten Japanese Daisuke Naito (19-1-2, 14 KOs), 112, blasting him out in just 34 seconds of the opening session in Khonkaen, Thailand.

WBC #15 Naito made fireworks from the start, showing a furious opening attack to the champ, who kept cool and covered himself up well. Suddenly Pongsaklek, making his 4th defense, landed a devastating left to the face of the Japanese, flattening him unconscious for more than 10 count.

The previous record was scored by Frenchman Emile gSpiderh Pladner when he dismantled Frankie Genaro to capture the NBA flyweight belt 58 seconds into the opening canto on March 2, 1929. Pongsaklek broke this record to his credit thanks to Naitofs reckless and careless strategy.
