Johan Estupinan doesn't take it too lightly when he gets stung in a fight.
The Colombian star had a relatively dominant knockout win against Zakaria El Jamari in their flyweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE Fight Night 25 this weekend at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
While Estupinan clobbered the Moroccan striker in the second round, he got clocked in the first round when El Jamari connected upstairs a couple of times in the opening period.
In his in-ring interview with ONE Championship commentator Mitch Chilson, Estupinan said he woke up from his stupor after El Jamari clipped him with a stinging overhand right in the first minute of the fight:

"No, no, no, he woke me up. Actually, I got angry when he hit me. I was like 'No, no one can touch you, wake up! Hit him!'”
Estupinan was visibly wobbling when he got caught early in the first, but that only riled him up and he answered El Jamari with a barrage of hooks that nearly floored the 35-year-old.
Determined to chalk up his third knockout win in four matches, Estupinan bated El Jamari into his traps once the second round rolled on.
After a series of feints, Estupinan clocked El Jamari with a vicious 1-2 for the highlight reel knockout.
Estupinan didn't just maintain his perfect record, which bumped up to 26-0, he also secured a cool $50,000 bonus from ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
