Anna “Supergirl” Jaroonsak got back in the winner’s column in style this past weekend, and she now has ONE Championship gold in her sights. The teenage striking phenom took out former ONE Interim Atomweight Muay Thai World Title challenger Lara Fernandez in their catchweight kickboxing matchup on Friday, August 4, at ONE Fight Night 13, which served as a perfect rebound from her previous promotional outing.
“Supergirl” dropped a tight split-decision loss to Stamp Fairtex at ONE Fight Night 6 in January, though she received ample praise for her performance and a US$50,000 bonus along with it.

Moral victories weren’t enough for the 19-year-old, however, and she sought to notch another win onto her record last weekend. Normally competing at strawweight, the Thai star was originally set to drop to atomweight for a contest with Cristina Morales, but the Spaniard wasn’t medically cleared to compete.
Despite a late change in opponent, “Supergirl” had no problems showcasing her striking prowess on her way to claiming a hard-earned unanimous decision victory. “I was excited for this fight because I knew I had to win,” the Jaroonsak Muay Thai representative said in her post-fight interview. “I am trying to go to a lower weight division right now. I felt more comfortable in the fight.”

“I don’t think my age is a problem [in going for the World Title]. I’m confident in my technique, my power, and my performances,” she said. “Please support me and watch my fights. I will show my knees and my other techniques.”
