Sonny Boy Jaro provided one of the most inspiring stories in Philippine pro boxing in March 2012 when he came out of nowhere to win the World Boxing Council (WBC) flyweight title (112 pounds) over accomplished Thai champion Pongsaklek Wonjongkam. Offered as a sacrificial lamb, Jaro came out like a ferocious tiger and flattened Wonjongkam in six rounds.
