The Strange Record of 3-K Battery

Medgoen "3-K Battery" Singsurat fought Jorge Arce on December 1, 2007 for the WBC Latino bantamweight title. He was 53-4 coming in but was blown away by “Travieso” in just 47 seconds. A paralyzing left to the body followed by a left hook upstairs finished matters faster than you can say Pad Thai. 3-K has now "regrouped" and is 57 (KO 41) - 5 (KO 5) in 62 outings.
Let's take a closer look at his record.
He won his first 20 fights, including a convincing 3-round KO over Manny Pacquiao in 1999 for the WBC flyweight title. Many contend Pacquiao lost the bout at the scales by not being able to make a weight of 112 lb, but a loss is a loss and 3-K is only one of two men to stop Pacquiao. After successfully defending his title against Masaki Kawabata, he lost it to undefeated Malcolm "Eagle Eye" Tunacao in 2000. He then won 13 of his next 14 against such opposition as Yosuke Kobayashi (15-1), Rey Llegas (52-15-2), Archie Villamor (25-30-6) and Alfren Bulala (12-7-1). The Bulala win was a redemptive one as Bulala had KO'd 3-K in a prior outing.
