Numsurin And Songchainoi Settle Their Score As Four Bouts Added To ONE Friday Fights 147
Unfinished business headlines the latest batch of fights confirmed for ONE Friday Fights 147 on March 20 at Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium, with Numsurin Chor Ketwina and Songchainoi Kiatsongrit set to run their rivalry back for a second time.
Their first atomweight meeting ended with Numsurin edging a majority decision, leaving Songchainoi with one answer: get the rematch and get the reversal. The 30-year-old Tdet99 representative brings a 6-1 promotional record and a 105-20 career mark into the strawweight grudge match, the most recent chapter of which saw him challenge Japanese superstar Nadaka for the inaugural ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Championship last November. That unanimous decision defeat stings, but it came off the back of the Songchainoi win — which means the rematch carries extra weight for both men.
Songchainoi, meanwhile, holds a 10-1 promotional record and arrives with a single-minded focus. Every win since that loss has been building toward this moment.
Also confirmed is a flyweight Muay Thai clash that has serious finish potential. Thai pressure merchant Samingdam NF Looksuan rides a four-fight winning streak and an eight-victory promotional record into a collision with Myanmar’s Kyaw Swar Win — a 24-year-old with a staggering 58-1 career record who announced himself in January by putting Muga away via TKO after four knockdowns on debut. They are two fighters who don’t know how to take a backwards step.
The third flyweight Muay Thai bout on the card pits Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi against Pompet PongSuphan PK, with both men looking to bounce back from recent defeats. Jaosuayai carries 60 career victories and a high fight IQ but has dropped two straight to Akif Guluzada and Sam-A Gaiyanghadao. Pompet, with 109 career wins and seven promotional victories, faces the same pressure.
Rounding out the additions is a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown between power puncher Ratchasiesan Laochokcharoen — formerly known as Kulabdam, a man whose explosive left hand earned him the “Left Meteorite” nickname — and Uzbekistan’s Uzair Ismoiljonov, who arrives on a two-fight winning streak after rebounding from a difficult promotional debut.
