"This kid has style" - Fans loving Jaosuayai's gnarly first-round KO of fellow Thai slugger Nakrob in Amazon debut

Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi could not have asked for a better debut on the ONE Championship main roster than his performance against fellow Thai standout Nakrob Fairtex at ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video last Friday, June 6. The latest addition to ONE's flyweight Muay Thai ranks dropped Nakrob with a crisp three-strike combination after dazing him with a head kick barely 30 seconds into their fight inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Though he beat the count, the Sor Dechapan star immediately rushed him and soon landed the fight-ending head kick at the 52-second mark.

Watch the entire sequence below, which ONE posted on YouTube:

Upsetting the fifth-ranked ONE flyweight Muay Thai competitor had fans praising the 23-year-old in the comments section, writing:

"He is phenomenal - can't express how good he is - just look at his fights - and a golden heart too...."
"So pleased for him. This kid has style. Onward and upward. 👍"
"This guy is the next Superstar of ONE Championship, another one of my favorites, Big Shirt, keep fighting, little brother."
"This might be the greatest KO sequence of the year so far, Jao should get either a Rodtang fight or a title shot against Superlek off this."
"This is head kick muay thai style."

Jaosuayai's extensive scouting of Nakrob led to highlight-reel finish

Jaosuayai utilized his knowledge of Nakrob's fighting style to exploit it against him and secure the finish at ONE Fight Night 32.

Speaking with ONE ahead of their bout, he said:

"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."

Fans in the United States and Canada with an active Prime Video subscription can rewatch ONE Fight Night 32 on demand.
