Unbeaten WBA light flyweight world champion Carlos “CCC” Canizales (21-0-1, 17 KOs) of Venezuela prevented Lu Bin (1-1, 1 KO) of China from becoming only the first boxer in history to win a world title in his second bout on Saturday night at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Canizales dropped Bin in round eleven, then finished him in the final round with another knockdown. The end came at 2:59, just one second from the final bell.
