Biography and career
[edit]Pairoj Chansod was born on April 5, 1972 in the Buriram province. He fought around 40 times in his hometown of Phutthaisong and around the province under the name Rungroj Kiatnakhonbao. After moving to Bangkok, he stayed at the major "Sor Thanikul" camp for two months. Unable to fight because he weighed less than 100 pounds he returned home and was brought by Danchai Decharat to Ajarn Surat Sianglo at the Decharat camp where he would train for the rest of his career.
Rotnarong became a successful fighter during the Golden era of Muay Thai in the 1990s, capturing the Rajadamnern Stadium Bantamweight (118 lbs) title in 1994 and successfully defended it on November 30, 1994, against Burklerk Pinsinchai[2]. Rotnarong defeated many notable champions of his era such as Meechok Sor.Ploenchit.[3]Nongnarong Luksamrong, Jaroensak Kiatnakornchon[4], Thailand Pinsinchai, Kompayak Singmanee[5] Orono Wor Petchpun and his main rival Sukhothai TaxiMeter who he faced nine times.[6] Lauded for his fun and spectacular style, Rotnarong is credited as the first user of the technique now known as the "Saenchai kick" in the Muay Thai stadiums of Bangkok, first throwing it in 1993. His formidable use of front kicks granted him the nickname of Master of Teeps (จอมถีบหน้า).[7]
In 1994 Rotnarong engaged in the Royal Cup Tournament and reached the final happening on February 24, 1995, where he defeated Kasemlek Kiatsiri by decicion at the Rajadamnern Stadium. He received the royal trophy from the hands of Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.[8][9] Rotnarong won the tournament again the next year and was awarded a position in the Royal Thai police for him to take on after his fighting career.[10]
After retiring from high level competition Rotnarong went back to being a police officer in his native province. He still finds time to train and help the youth of his area while working as a trainer in multiple gyms including the Wor.Watthana.[11][12] Rotnarong still occasionally competes in Muay Thai for special events. On August 11, 2017, he faced former champion Orono Por.MuangUbon at the Lumpinee Stadium with a side-bet of a million baht[13] He lost the fight by decision.[14].
