“It hasn’t been easy at all” - Thai rising star Jaosuayai dedicates his ONE Fight Night 32 victory to his supportive family

Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi is looking at his past struggles to fuel his march up the flyweight Muay Thai ranks.

The Thai rising star captured the biggest win of his career, yet, when he knocked out Nakrob Fairtex in the main event of ONE Fight Night 32 earlier this month at the historic Lumpinee Stadium.

Following his first-round knockout win over Nakrob, Jaosuayai celebrated his win with his father and younger brother inside the ring.

Jaosuayai then shared on Instagram the sacrifices he made to carve out a career in Muay Thai while sharing a photo of his dad and brother.

He wrote:

"This picture describes everything. From the beginning until today, it hasn't been easy at all. I'm just an ordinary little kid who was willing to invest in leaving my family at the age of 7 to box and earn money to support myself and my family. Yes, for me it wasn't easy at all, but I had no other choice."

Jaosuayai added:

"There was only Muay Thai that I thought I could help myself with and earn money to help my family. Until today, I have to thank myself and my heart that refused to give up. Thank you to my family, Sor Dechapan gym, and all the adults who supported me. My goals are still far ahead. Let's keep fighting. Let's go!"

Jaosuayai says his plans worked to perfection in sublime knockout of Nakrob

Jaosuayai may not have expected a quick finish, but he was glad his game plan worked to perfection when he flatlined Nakrob in his Amazon debut.

Despite being known for his technical brilliance, Jaosuayai unleashed his headhunting style when he knocked Nakrob out with a diabolical roundhouse kick 52 seconds into the fight.

In an interview with Nick Atkin for Bangkok Post, Jaosuayai said he expected to trade bombs with Nakrob throughout the fight.

Jaosuayai, though, was proud to see his hard work pay off when he sent Nakrob to the shadow realm.

"I feel incredible. It [went] right according to the game plan. We predicted that he would come and walk in, and everything was as we were planning. So, I saw the opening right in the first round, and I went for it."
