Carlos Cañizales KO5 Panya Pradabsri ... Venezuela's Carlos 'CCC' Cañizales won the WBC junior flyweight championship by dethroning Thailand's Panya Pradabsri in Caracas. Cañizales won a WBC-ordered rematch against Pradabsri, after being a victim of biased judging in Bangkok, Thailand last March. That time, Canizalez lost a majority decision. This time, the Venezuelan had the support of his nation, and won by fifth-round knockout when he landed a right to the body.

 

Canizalez was dominating the action but in the fourth round, Pradabsri landed a right punch that sent Canizalez to the canvas. Canizalez seened more surprised than hurt and managed to withstand the onslaught and respond with some punches of his own. During the fifth round, Cañizales recovered and came out determined to finish the fight. It didn't take long for the punches to become more intense, including a liver hook, leaving the two-division champ on the canvas for the ten count.
