An experienced southpaw in Cambodia’s international matchups

Kongjak Por Pao In is a Thai veteran whose Cambodian appearances provide a useful connection between established stadium competition and the modern Kun Khmer television circuit. His selected record includes a stoppage victory over Thoeun Theara in April 2023 and a decision defeat to Chhoeung Lvai a year later. Including both results matters. Together they describe an experienced visiting opponent in genuine competition, rather than a name introduced only to support a celebratory account of one Cambodian athlete.

The spellings Por Paoin and Por Pao-In refer to the same ring name in the reviewed sources. Chaiwat Mueanphong appears as an associated personal-name identity. A separate boxing record must not automatically be added to his Muay Thai results, however. The existence of an alias can establish identity without making different sporting disciplines interchangeable. This profile selects Muay Thai and Kun Khmer bouts and labels each explicitly.

Stadium experience before the Cambodian meetings

Specialist coverage identifies Kongjak with Rajadamnern and Omnoi stadium championships and world titles under WMC and WPMF. Siam Fight Mag’s Warriors Night preview used those achievements to introduce him to a French audience. The reviewed material does not consistently establish the year and weight division for every title, so those details remain unfilled rather than guessed. The broad historical recognition is useful; an invented precise championship chronology would not be.

Muay Thai Records lists Ang Thong as his hometown, a height of 180 centimetres and a southpaw stance. Its last listed weight is 70 kilograms, but that is not assigned retrospectively to every Cambodian contest. Nor does the page’s partial win-loss tally establish his full career total. The specialist ledger contains only a selection of international and stadium appearances, while contemporary reports identify additional Cambodian bouts. The visible gap is a reason to retain bout-level evidence instead of declaring a complete aggregate.

Reading the southpaw label carefully

A southpaw stance changes the arrangement of the lead hands and legs against an orthodox opponent, but it does not tell us which tactical choices Kongjak made in every round. The April 2023 reporting does establish that a kick preceded the decisive interruption against Theara. That supports discussion of the importance of defending powerful kicks in this particular encounter. It does not prove that all of his wins came from the same action or allow a written profile to reconstruct exchanges absent from the sources.

The Bayon result against Thoeun Theara

Contemporary Vietnamese reporting dated 24 April 2023 described the previous evening’s meeting between Kongjak and Theara. The bout ended in the fourth round after Theara suffered an arm injury associated with a kick. The result is recorded as a technical knockout victory for Kongjak. The injury explains the reported stoppage, but a media account is not a substitute for a medical record, so this biography does not offer a more detailed clinical diagnosis.

For Cambodian audiences, the result was significant because Theara had become a prominent international figure. For Kongjak, it showed that an established veteran remained capable of producing a decisive result against a leading Cambodian opponent. Neither observation requires turning the event into a verdict on national sporting superiority. The useful facts are the named athletes, date, promotion and outcome. Those details permit comparison with the next contests in each career without manufacturing a grand theory from one evening.

Selected verified professional bouts

Returning to Thailand and meeting Chhoeung Lvai

The selected chronology continues with a first-round knockout of Lan Jia Chen in May 2023 at Rajadamnern World Series and an August decision loss to Thananchai Sitsongpeenong. Those two results place the Cambodian victory within an active international schedule rather than treating it as an isolated exhibition. They also show different outcomes within a short period. A durable career can include a successful finish and a full-distance defeat without either result cancelling the other.

On 28 April 2024, Kongjak faced Chhoeung Lvai at Ganzberg Kun Khmer Super Strike on PNN in Phnom Penh. The reciprocal ledger records a decision defeat over five rounds. No unsupported judging controversy is repeated here. The point of including this meeting is to preserve another substantive Cambodian connection and to show that Kongjak encountered more than one major local opponent. The outcomes against Theara and Lvai belong to different dates and cannot be used as a simple mathematical ranking between all three athletes.

Late-career results and changing formats

In October 2024, the specialist results list credits Kongjak with two wins at LWC Super Champ 66: a first-round knockout of Luis Kreutsfelt Pinto and a second-round technical knockout of Ramyar Vakili. These are separate contests on the same dated programme, not a duplicate row. The July 2025 Rajadamnern meeting with Petchmorakot Petchyindee ended in a unanimous-decision loss and was identified as a middleweight stadium-title contest. The available selected record therefore reaches beyond his Cambodian appearances without inventing an uninterrupted winning sequence.

For a reader following Kun Khmer, this broader context improves the interpretation of a visiting fighter’s name on an announcement. Historical titles, recent activity and individual results answer different questions. Titles explain past achievement; recent bouts show where the athlete has been competing; the particular contract establishes the demands of the next matchup. None of them alone guarantees how a future fight will end.

• The Bayon and PNN entries are the verified Cambodian chapter of this selection.
• The Rajadamnern and LWC bouts remain identified as Muay Thai.
• Unknown title years, current coaching details and unconfirmed bout weights are not supplied through inference.

Kongjak’s profile is consequently valuable as a sporting bridge between experienced Thai stadium opposition and Cambodia’s developing international schedule. It recognises both his achievements and his defeats without reducing him to a promotional label.
