Yoko Gushiken (Japan)(#13) V Pone Kingpetch (Thailand)(#52)

Korakuen Stadium, Tokyo

Gushiken (left) fought only 24 times in a career spanning 7 years. He won the WBA Light Flyweight title in only his ninth pro contest, knocking out Juan Antonio Guzman. He made 14 defences until being stopped by Pedro Flores for his only defeat. Gushiken was a big hitter, achieving 15 of his 23 victories by stoppage.

Kingpetch held the Thai, OPBF, WBA and WBC titles at Flyweight. He won his first World title in 1960 when he outpointed Pascual Perez. He defended the title four times before being knocked out by Fighting Harada. Kingpetch regained the title a year later before repeating the trick with Hiroyuki Ebihara. He lost his title to Salvatore Burruni in 1965 and retired a year later.
