Andy Hug vs Francisco Filho

[@Totaldane]

I had the privilege of fighting and training with Andy, around 6 months before this fight. We both trained with the Dutch national team, under Michel Wedel. He was such a nice and down to earth guy. Being one of the best (amateurs) in my country at the time, Andy was just a completely different level, the perfect fighter who achieved incredible things despite his relatively small stature in Heavy weight. RIP

did you ever transition to kickboxing? I mean Kickboxing basically started in amsterdam with chakuriki and the other gym forgot the name with karate and boxing in a combination

wow, first time I've seen this. As great as Andy was, Francisco has knocked him out cold twice. Here and in 1997 in K-1. Francisco was one of the most underrated fighters I think of all time. Deserved to have a K-1 GP title to his name imo.

Francisco Filho além de ser uma lenda das artes marciais, é um cara gente finíssima que tive o prazer de conhecer aqui em Bragança Paulista - SP, quando comentei com ele que tinha assistido sua luta contra o Andy Hug no K1 e tinha curtido muito sua vitória sobre esse grande lutador ele me recomendou assistir essa luta no karate e agora que assisti confirmou o que ele disse, que ele ganhou com um lindo golpe. Parabéns grande Francisco Filho.

Francisco Filho is the greatest karate fighter of all time kyokushinkai. The Brazil and all who love martial arts owe much to this sportsman who raised the level of karate throughout the world with his memorable fights will always in the history. THE BIGGEST BRAZILIAN FIGHTER OF ALL TIME MY VIEW. OSS

[@vikramaLP]

Francisco is the guy who finished "Hyakuni Kumite" 100 men kumite....he is great and fast on his front kick.....powerful....Andi just met his match...which is why Kancho Mas Oyama respected the men who could finish 100 men Kumite!

[@debrun007]

Andy Hug. Legend. Sadly missed. RIP

[@antoniocervi8724]

Andy Hug lowed the guard after the whistle, that is why, I think, Filho could hit the face. Any how Filho was winning by points and Andy seemed tired not the explosive Andy we used to see. Anyhow all my respect to those two unique Martial Artists !

[@DwellingTheAbyss]

They have to fight nonstop without rest, with all damage ... That's why they're both exhausted.

[@nicholasgrechi5411]

O último chute foi limpo. O cara tava no meio de uma sequência quando o árbitro mandou parar. Não tem como interromper um ataque nessas condições, o cérebro demora mais ou menos 0,5s para processar a informação "acabou a luta" e mandar o corpo tomar a iniciativa de parar.

[@MADDOXXXbr]

sem dúvida

[@celsomohr]

Nicholas Grechi tem toda razão, o chute foi limpinho, mas na cara do Andy rsrsrsrs mas falando sério, o culpado foi o juiz ele disse yame muito tarde o chute já estava engatilhado, e se prestarem bem atenção na luta todas as vezes q o juiz interrompia os dois ficavam um tempinho agarrados trocando sopapos mas no K1 não teve mimimi e foi nocaute do msm jeito

[@bjjzs]

Foi bem depois da sequência o chute. Francisco tava levando a luta mas o nocaute foi por causa do árbitro

[@pietrorobertooficial-bjj267]

MUITO BOA COLOCAÇÃO OSS

[@guilhermekfwst]

I think it's a clean win, but I'm not really sure if that whistle did not influence to the KO, maybe Hug dropped hands as he listened to it.

7:43 esse grito de vitória chega arrepiar qualquer um .

[@AntonZlatkov]

Is it me or does the referee calls a stop(Yame) merely a second before the kick ? Either way - great fight.

[@qmoroz]

I'd say that it was a half of a second and the kick had already started when referee said Yame. Besides, Andy here failed with defence anyway cuz he clearly saw the kick, put both his arms towards the leg, but it didn't work out.

[@sukotsutoCSSR]

This was one of the most well-known fights, especially because of that. I think in the end, it was allowed because it doesn't matter if the referee stops the action because of a grab, the fighters should always keep their guard up no matter what.

[@raulcosta16]

Esse final sempre me deixa arrepiado.

[@patrickkeller6870]

That was dirty. Fillho kicked him after the ref said yamete. He didn't need to do that he was already winning.

[@patrickkeller6870]

Sorry but you're wrong. Not only had the bell already sounded, clearly, but he started kicking when the ref said yamate. Twice. If it was legit there wouldn't be any controversy. There's a difference between at the bell and after the bell.

[@satellite964]

WTF? Ref said "Yame Yame Yame" but Filho still launched the kick.

[@Xboxassassin48]

Ikr that's bullshit

[@wargthe2nd347]

Is it me or Filho used to kick way higher in his Karate bouts before K-1? I mean... he used nice kicks in K-1: back kicks, spinning hook kicks and specially the brazilian kick (mae mawashi kubi geri), but somehow his kicks seem more smooth and less restrained in his Karate bouts. Nevertheless, in K-1 he got to show us his other arsenal: his punches are VERY precise and VERY powerful, and he combines them perfectly. That flurry of punches that knocked out Ernesto Hoost was glorious. Andy Hug used to endure brutal assaults from monsters like Mike Bernardo and still fight back, but when he fought Filho in K-1, he was struck with a very quick counterpunch that looked like nothing at all, but was so precise and powerful that knocked him to the canvas.

[@TheChiconspiracy]

Of course he looks more free with his kicks, he's not going to eat punches to the head if he messes up. Similarly, it's why K1 level strikers look stiff and conservative when they fight MMA, they will pay for it if they mess up.

[@wargthe2nd347]

TheChiconspiracy I'm not talking about kicking frequency, but the technique by itself. But I do get what you mean... Perhaps you might be right: once you start training for K-1, you have to emphasize your hands.

[@admirercp]

TheChiconspiracy must agree with you. similarly boxers would extract beautiful punches as they shouldn't bother being kicked

Mr.Filho is much better than Mr.Hug. Not just in keeping the quietness from the old genuine Kara-te tradition, but his hits are powerful. Of course, in this competition, rules are very unrealistic and keeps out of the fight the hand techniques. Anyway, Filho is far better.

[@Liquidcadmus]

+Hesse Friedermanns keeps out the hand techniques? what are you talking about? in kyokushin you can punch the entire body beneath the neck. if they punched the face there would be extreme injuries or even death. Filho is a great martial artist but Hug was a legend. you dont know anything about martial arts. I suggest you go out of your house and learn some before doing silly comments. :)

[@Friedermanns]

+Liquidcadmus What I'm "talking about" you ask? Did you watch this vid or just thinking about KyokuShin myths? Look the stats: JUST from the beginning to minute 2:30 you can count: 1.- KICKS-> about 25, no less. 2.- PUNCHES-> 3. 3.- Fall downs-> 2. Andy Hug fell down both. "you dont know anything about martial arts" Well, first of all, I know RESPECT to opposite opinion as martial arts basics: you obviously, DON'T. Keep your "suggestions" for yourself...perhaps you will learn something from your own words...In fact, I don't care at all. Honor means to accept when you are wrong, folk. You know, I'm not going to explain you what is "Honor". No more time wasted to answer you, so keep on seeking a master. Sayonara !

[@crypt7196]

+Hesse Friedermanns Filho very technical course Karate. But then Andy pretty exhausted. It is a pity that in the hands of Andy protection went lower than the foot Filho. I have seen all the fights Andy and he's played more technical than in this battle and defeated those who lost Filho. In such competitions very get tired. Filho very unexpected hits, but Andy is very strong fighting spirit. And he has repeatedly proved this.
