Rising Muay Thai star Nakrob Fairtex said he has studied upcoming opponent Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi and believes he boasts of heavier punches. Based on his study, he is looking to take full advantage of it come fight night.
The two fighters are featured in an all-Thai flyweight Muay Thai battle at ONE Fight Night 32: Rodrigues vs Cohen on Prime Video on June 6. It serves as the co-headlining match of the event happening at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
In an interview with ONE Championship in line with his scheduled return to action, the No. 5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender shared how he is approaching his showdown with Jaosuayai. Nakrob said:

“I’ve prepared big shots for every round, like always. My secret weapon would probably be the power behind my strikes. I’m confident I can land heavier shots. But when it comes to speed, I gotta give it to Jaosuayai.”
