The 23-year-old Zamboanga needed just 87 seconds in finishing off Kaewkhong to essay his first knockout win in ONE after four victories via decisions.
It capped in a family celebration as elder brother Drex bested another Thai fighter, Detchadin Srosirisuphathin with a second-round win via a rear-naked choke.
The 31-year-old Drex improved to 8-5 (win-loss).
