Hong Kong's 'Wonder Kid' Rex Tso pounds Indonesia's John Bajawa for 14th win

Hong Kong's unbeaten Rex Tso Sing-yu returned to the ring as though he was never injured, pounding his latest victim into submission at last night's Champions of Gold.

Tso had been nursing severely bruised hands and an injured nose only four weeks ago and Indonesia's John Bajawa thought he could take out the "Wonder Kid".

But it was clear who was the better fighter after the referee stopped the bout 48 seconds into the fifth of the six-round bantamweight contest at the CotaiArena.

And there was more celebration for Chinese boxers after China's Zou Shiming won his first professional title, outpointing Colombia's Luis de la Rosa to lift the WBO international flyweight title after 10 pulsating rounds.

Hong Kong's first professional fighter, meanwhile, registered his 14th straight victory after a series of unanswered blows saw the referee move in to protect Bajawa from further punishment.

Tso then dropped to his knees in celebration as the crowd of about 8,000 roared their approval. "I dropped to my knees after my victory because I was so excited. This compensated for my last fight when I was injured," said a jubilant Tso.

"Spectators could see that my opponent fought very defensively, but I hit him with some pretty good body shots. In my last three weeks of training, I focused on power and I think my training paid off. After two rounds, I knew I had him. That means I could become more aggressive and more attack-minded," he said.
