Just me personal opinion I think Jongsanan would have been better off without Fairtex it sure didn’t hurt Bunkerd to seperate. Better off and better known are wholly separate topics imo.

Jongsanan’s fight with Boonlai is on Dailymotion. Just search under Bunlai. When you see Num now it’s hard to imagine he was fighting at featherweight for a bit.

Oh and as for how long Num has been with FTX; I’ve seen photos of Num, Mart, Big G, and Kerd all living at the camp as kids.

He’s been there for a long time.

If he would’ve broken off, he probably wouldn’t be as famous in the states plus he wouldn’t be taken care of, like he is now. He’ll always have a job at Fairtex.

It’s incredible to me, the long term commitment these thai guys have. It’s really hard for an all american guy like myself to understand. I’m trying though.

The 1990s really were a nice era for Muay Thai.

AS for Jongsanan it doesn’t seem that long ago remembering him beating up Dawson, Brackenbury and even Imro Main. All stateside.

He’s always was an all action fighter. I often wonder what would have happened to Jongsanan had made a break from Fairtex the way Bunkerd did.

Yeah Nopstar, thats the name that I always mispronounce! Like GK said, he was at Fairtex….Heck, somewhere around here I have a few fights that even pre-date the Superlek one(the Boonlai one, a win over Therdkiat, part of the Wangchan-noi fight, ) and he’s always rocking the Fairtex Robe….heck you can even see a much younger Ganyao(with hair!!!)

and Colargol…I saw Num vs. Orono live. 1995, ah the old days……..

He hasn’t been in MTV for a long time, he’s mostly in SF. It’s true he is one of the coolest guys I’ve ever met.

p.s. I stole his training shorts from the gym before I moved ha!

Num jumped in the sparring class out of nowhere last week. He beat all of us up while laughing the whole time.
