The Thai knockout artist returns to flyweight to face Pompet, and seeks a powerful performance on March 20.

Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi has built a reputation as one of Thailand’s most feared knockout artists with his explosive, forward-moving style. But following a pair of setbacks, the 24-year-old is determined to return stronger when he faces Pompet PongSuphan PK in a flyweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE Friday Fights 147 inside Bangkok’s revered Lumpinee Stadium on March 20, live in Asia primetime. View this post on Instagram After a loss to Akif “King” Guluzada at ONE Fight Night 36 last October, Jaosuayai dropped down to strawweight in search of answers.

There, he faced former two-sport, two-division ONE World Champion Sam-A Gaiyanghadao . It was a moment that forced him to confront a key flaw in his game. He said: “I started strong against Sam-A, but I got impatient and careless.

I rushed in to trade, got countered, and dropped. That cost me the fight. That loss taught me a big lesson: I need to keep my cool and never let my emotions take over.

“After the fight, Sam-A came over to encourage me. He said it was my first time in this weight class and I just needed time to adjust. Even though I’ve lost two in a row, my confidence is still high.
