‘I’ve Set A Goal To Win By Knockout’ – Jaosuayai Hungry For Epic U.S. Primetime Debut Against Nakrob
Surging striker Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi knows that a victory over #5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender Nakrob Fairtex would propel him into the division’s elite.
The 23-year-old sensation will make his much-anticipated U.S. primetime debut against Nakrob on June 6 at ONE Fight Night 32: Rodrigues vs. Cohen on Prime Video in a pivotal matchup at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
While some fans view the hard-hitting Jaosuayai as an underdog, he’s confident in his ability to score the victory.
Jaosuayai will enter the contest riding an impressive four-fight winning streak that includes a trio of spectacular knockouts. He told onefc.com that while he has plenty of respect for Nakrob, he’s not buying into the talk from outsiders:
“Nakrob is definitely a challenge. He’s had a lot of fights in ONE and is currently ranked, which I think is good. If I can beat him, I’ll elevate myself to the next level and maybe even get into the rankings.
“I don’t think about what people say about me being an underdog in this fight. I believe in myself and that I have what it takes to fight him.”
Nakrob boasts a 10-2 record in ONE, having employed his clean technique and ruthless aggression to cement himself as a legitimate World Title threat.
For his part, Jaosuayai owns a 7-2 promotional record and has become known for his explosive and dynamic style of striking.
Renowned for his flashy techniques – like spinning attacks and flying knees – he’s excited to bring his all-action approach to ONE Fight Night 32:
“Personally, I like to use distinctive Muay Thai techniques. If I have the chance, I’ll show cool Muay Thai moves in every fight to entertain the fans.”
Jaosuayai’s terrifying power and savage finishing instincts have already established him among the planet’s most talented knockout artists.
He’s motivated to keep his momentum going and make an unforgettable impression in his first U.S. primetime appearance:
“I’ve set a goal to win by knockout in my U.S. primetime debut because I want to start my journey with the most impressive performance.”
Jaosuayai Sees The Blueprint To Finish Nakrob
Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi is much more than just a high-flying, entertaining striker; he’s a master technician and a student of the game.
After carefully studying Nakrob Fairtex, he believes he’s identified the perfect path to victory. He has analyzed his opponent’s tendencies and has spotted specific vulnerabilities that he plans to exploit:
“Nakrob’s strength is his high stamina and good attacking ability, but his weakness is that he tends to come straight in, which is predictable, and he neglects his defense.”
Although Jaosuayai’s record is packed with highlight-reel knockouts, that doesn’t mean he’s an impatient or reckless fighter. Quite the opposite – he can be a venomous counter-striker, particularly if his opponent is overly aggressive.
Against Nakrob, he hopes to avoid a brawl and instead employ a tactical approach that maximizes his chances of landing the show-stopping blow:
“My game plan for this fight is to wait for him to come in and counter accurately, but I’m not afraid to trade with him. However, I won’t trade continuously. I’ll use a stick-and-move strategy.”
