Perspective
His gained his nickname the "Knight of Singha City" by making his name as a top fighter at Narumon gym in Sing Buri, the province neighboring his home province of Lopburi in Central Thailand.
He is most known for being one of only four fighters to have beaten Somrak Kamsing during his Muay Thai career in Bangkok. As the fight was at 105 lbs and Somrak grew into his frame faster than Noppadet, they never rematched in the following years.[2]
In 1989, after a run at Bantamweight and Super Bantamweight where he defeated Langsuan, Dokmaipa, Detduang, and Wangchannoi, Noppadet was pushed up to Featherweight and matched with a bigger and more experienced Jaroenthong Kiatbanchong, who gave him a big cut on the forehead and cruised to a decision victory.[3] The loss proved to be tough on the 18-year-old Noppadet who fell into a long slump as he went 2-11-1 from July, 1989 to December, 1990.
In 1990, Mr. Komcharoen Kaikaew and Ms. Rewadee Pattapong bought out Noppadet's contract from Narumon gym and brought him to Sor.Rewadee gym to fight under "Sia Nao" Virat Vachirarattanawong's Petchyindee Promotion that was operating at Rajadamnern Stadium.[4]
Soon after joining his new gym, Noppadet broke out of his slump and had a career resurgence culminating in him winning the Rajadamnern Stadium Featherweight title in his third fight against Wanwiset Kaennorasing. He would lose his title against Wanwiset in their fifth fight and retired after going on a losing streak in 1994 at 23 years old.[5]
He was one of a few fighters to have a purse as high as ฿150,000 Thai baht, which he earned against Jaroenthong Kiatbanchong,[4] and despite retiring at an early age, he fought against many notable fighters such as Chamuekpet Hapalang, Somrak Kamsing, Wangchannoi Sor.Palangchai, Jaroenthong Kiatbanchong, Langsuan Panyuthaphum, Veeraphol Sahaprom,[6] Namkabuan Nongkeepahuyuth, Boonlai Sor.Thanikul,[7] Dokmaipa Por.Pongsawang, Rajasak Sor.Vorapin,[8] Wanwiset Kaennorasing, Kangwannoi Or.Sribualoi, Yodpetch Sor.Jitpattana, Kuekrit Sor.Nayaiam, Wanghin Por.Chaiwat, and Detduang Por.Pongsawang.
After his fighting career, Noppadet still involved himself in the industry as a trainer and helped to organize Muay Thai events in the Thai countryside.[9]
In 2021, Samart Payakaroon, alongside Kiapetch Promotion's Chun Kiatpetch and other notable figures organized a charity event sponsored by Chang Beer in Sing Buri to raise money for Noppadet to treat Glaucoma in his left eye.[10]
