For a while, no Filipino reigned as a world champion. Malcolm Tunacao was dethroned by challenger Pongsaklek Wonjongkam in a World Boxing Council (WBC) flyweight title bout in Pichit, Thailand, last March. The demolition job took only a round as Pangsaklek floored Tunacao thrice to leave the Philippines without a world titleholder.

Pacquiao's Handicap
