Pongsaklek to face Keb Baas

WBC flyweight champion Pongsaklek Wongjongkam is aiming to  establish a record for most defenses of a world title in the 112-pound category. According to the Bangkom Post, the record was established by Miguel Canto's 14 defenses from 1975-1979. Pongsaklek, rated #1 in the world by Boxingtalk, has piled up 12 defenses since he won the title from Malcolm Tunacao of the Philippines on March 2, 2001. He next defends against Mexican Gilberto Keb Baas in Chainart, Thailand on February 16. source: Bangkok Post
