Boxing: Mosquera dethrones Nanthachai

NEW YORK (AP) - Vicente Mosquera won the WBA super featherweight title Saturday night with a flurry of rights that handed Yodsanan Nanthachai his first loss in nearly 11 years.

Mosquera scored a unanimous 12-round decision over Nanthachai of Thailand, knocking down the champion three times. Nanthachai showed little defense against the sharp right hands from the Panamanian.

In his first title fight, Mosquera won his 10th straight bout, improving to 21-1-1. Nanthachai, who held the crown for more than three years, fell to 44-3-1.

After the unanimous decision was announced, Mosquera fell to the canvas crying.
