The first, in Los Angeles on March 12, 1977, was a nine-round NC ( WKA ) against Thai boxer Narongnoi Kiatbandit as part of the inaugural WKA world title event.

Later, in October 1981, when the AJKBA merged with the WKA, the WKA transmuted the original Onuki no-contest to a TKO victory for Urquidez because, in fact, Urquidez's fight contract had permitted throws.
