“I’ve studied him” - Jaosuayai admits he had Nakrob Fairtex all mapped out heading into his sensational sub-minute KO win

Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi proved that he is equally great between the ropes and in the film room.

The Thai rising star captured the biggest win of his career when he flatlined Nakrob Fairtex in their flyweight Muay Thai matchup in the main event of ONE Fight Night 32 this past weekend at Lumpinee Stadium.

Headlining his first Amazon card, Jaosuayai sent the Bangkok crowd into pandemonium when he head-kicked Nakrob's soul into the nether realms of the iconic arena.

In his post-fight interview, Jaosuayai said he studied Nakrob's tendencies during his months-long training camp and discovered that the fifth-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender has a lower guard compared to other fighters.

He said:

"Because I've studied him from his previous fights, and normally when he walks in, his right guard kind of always falls, so it's a bit low. So I think that would be an opening that I could use."

Jaosuayai initially baited Nakrob into distance and launched a right roundhouse kick that rocked the Fairtex Training Center man.

Watching Nakrob on wobbly legs, Jaosuayai pounced on the occasion and dropped his fellow Thai star with a flurry of hooks in the opening 32 seconds.

Jaosuayai then pushed the action and battered Nakrob with another series of hooks before ending his misery with a stone-cold roundhouse kick for the immediate knockout 52 seconds into the fight.

The 23-year-old is now in a position for potential matches against Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Superlek Kiatmoo9, Nong-O Hama, and old nemesis Kongthoranee Sor Sommai.

Jaosuayai glad he got to show his aggressive side in KO win over Nakrob

Although he's known for his Muay Femur style, Jaoasuayai looked like a natural brawler when he knocked out Nakrob in their main event showdown at ONE Fight Night 32.

Jaosuayai said he could flip on the switch when he wanted to, but he often used his technical pace in his previous fights since he was often matched up against taller opponents. He said in his interview with Nick Atkin:

"Yes, I’m actually always ready to trade punches and kicks. I’m not always on my back foot."
