     Sonny Boy Jaro-Singwangcha scored a 6th round knockout victory over WBC Flyweight Champion and Pound for Pound number eight rated Pongsaklek Wonjongkam of Thailand. In one of the biggest upsets in the history of boxing,

      Former boxer and now manager/promoter Aljoe Jaro knew that the only way his boxer Sonny Boy Jaro could win the World Boxing Council flyweight title against local hero and veteran WBC champion

Pongsaklek Wonjongkam was by a knockout. That's exactly what the hard-hitting Jaro did before a stunned crowd of predominantly Thai boxing fans in Chonburi in the blazing afternoon heat.

     Jaro started aggressively in the first round and immediately dropped the Thai Champ with a vicious right uppercut to the head. Another knockdown was scored by Jaro in the third round courtesy of a right straight to the head. In the sixth round, the Filipino contender smelled blood and pummeled the Thai Champ with a barrage of combinations to the head dropping him to the canvass for good and winning the WBC Flyweight Championship Belt. Jaro was the heavy underdog but went for the broke and gave it his all negating the superior skills of the Thai long time reigning world champion.

     The win is considered one of the biggest upsets of the year since Pongsaklek was only recently named WBC “Fighter of the Decade.”

      Aljoe Jaro said the No. 8 ranked Sonny Boy Jaro had “trained for almost two months and looked good in sparring over some 130 rounds.”

      A solid puncher the 29 year old Jaro is the reigning IBF Pan Pacific flyweight interim champion after having won the title with a 4th round TKO over Ric Megrino on June 18, 2011. He has a record of 32-10-5 with 22 knockouts while the 34 year old Pongsaklek has a record of 83-3- 2 with 44 knockouts.

       Pongsaklek won the title with a 12 round majority decision over Japan’s Koki Kameda on March 27, 2010 in Tokyo and retained the crown with a comfortable win over former champion Edgar Sosa of Mexico on October 21, 2011. In his last fight the Thai southpaw retained his title with 1st round technical draw when unheralded Japanese youngster Hirofumi Mukai suffered a nasty cut following an accidental clash of heads forcing referee Guido Cavalleri to stop the fight after only 47 seconds.
