South Korea icon and hero Ju Hee
Kim showed exactly why she is
the light flyweight champion
with an emphatic 6th round
stoppage over the game Ploynapa
Sakrungrueng from Thailand to
retain her World Boxing
Federation World Title Friday
March 30 in Seoul.
Before a packed University Hall
of almost three thousand, Kim
thrilled the many students at
the university where she studied
with a dominant display, and
improved her impressive record
to 16-1-1 (7). Sakrungrueng
dropped to 5-2 (0).
After an even and slow paced
first round, Ju Hee showed
impressive skills and a good
work rate, while Sakrungrueng
was always dangerous on the
counter. However, as the fight
wore on the champion gained more
and more control, and finally
overwhelmed the challenger in
the sixth.
Ju Hee will defend again in
North Korea at the end of the
year. Special mention must be
made of WBF representative Moon
Sung for his outstanding
contribution to the excellence
of the event. WBF Supervisor in
attendance was president Howard
Goldberg from South Africa.
