every day when i watch Andy Hug he is motivation me for training . R.I.P ANDY HUG for ever.

[@lucywinters5906]

Best Kickboxer ever I reckon, Devasting when he died

[@histspeedhsp4245]

I really like these two fighters. This match is a concert by two artists. Andy won, but in this match, the result was the last thing that interested me .... I watch over and over again. There's everything in that match. Beauty, courage, reason and dexterity. That's what sport is about, but so is life.

[@DouglasGomesBueno-jw9lh]

There's nothing Nice when someone hit your face and kick your legs being only a fan it's very safe.

[@caleb7immortal]

I used to work for sam greco. He's definitely a great man. Sam said andy hug was the most hardest one to fight. They swear to be brothers anyway. I just wanna talk to him tomorrow as I'm watching this video :)

[@sergeyhus9243]

Хоть и уставшие после такой сетки, невероятный финал. И как всегда огромное уважение соперников друг к другу! Редко встретишь такое в наше время

[@MikeNutile]

This is my all time favorite K-1 fight. Both guys are so good. Sam hits harder while Andy is more nimble. Beautiful technical fighting between two well matches opponents.

[@hungyhunter]

Sam Greco owns a restaurant around the corner from where I live and I see him quite often as I am a delivery driver for the area. He's a funny guy!

[@Gustavo-rb6df]

Siempre será el más grande en K1. Hasta siempre Andy

[@ramyanthony4615]

Hug is a machine. Disadvantaged in size, strength, reach and genetics but won that clearly. Every time Sam connected solidly Hug immediately stole back the momentum with a flurry.

[@Notenoughwin]

Andy had some amazing genetics. Dude was a fucking athlete. Throwing kicks the way he does requires a special talent.

[@squatch570]

@@Notenoughwin Exactly!! I don't know where that guy got the idea Hug had bad genetics or was at a physical disadvantage in any way. Just because one fighter is bigger than another doesn't mean the smaller fighter has bad genetics or has any particularly more difficult challenge to overcome.

[@RajSingh-xz8sx]

I disagree with your disadvantage crap.Lol

[@health-generation268]

Andy was a good fighter but just 1.80 a bit small for heavyweight. Anyway great to watch the old k1 fights!!

[@kokopera7231]

He defeated many bigger, heavier and high quality fighters like Mike Bernardo, Jerome Le Banner, Ernesto Hoost, Peter Aerts, Sam Greco, Mirko Filipovic,.....

Сложный бой двух великих бойцов. Кому-то кажется, что бой скучный, но по факту из-за идеальной техники двух легенд сложно подобраться на нужную дистанцию и пробить оборону. Прекрасный бой и победа самого великого бойца Энди Хуга, по моему мнению. Вечная память, легенда!

Sin duda, Andy es el artista marcial definitivo. Es letal a la vez que lo hace todo de una forma tan plástica y tan bella que hace que te quedes impresionado por este deporte. Hay otros luchadores de k1 que han marcado una época, fuertes, con técnica y con estilos incluso más efectivos que Andy Hug, pero Andy tiene un estilo tan perfecto y a la vez tan efectivo. Mi luchador número 1 desde siempre y para siempre. DEP Andy

[@chatorashimaneko]

この時代のK1が好きだ。 まだ階級も無く、ありとあらゆる体格の選手がそれぞれの個性を出し、しのぎを削っていた。 自分は特に「サム・グレコ」が好きだった。 もちろん「アンディ・フグ」も好きだ。 しかし「サム・グレコ」の分厚い、大きな上半身がとても迫力があり、好きだった。 彼の繰り出す怒涛のラッシュは、別の試合で「レイ・セフォー」と打ち合った時も凄まじさを感じ、カッコよかった。 彼の無骨に突進していく姿に、強い憧れと尊敬の念を抱いた。 今でも、彼のファンだ。 現在、過去を問わず全てのファイター達が見せてくれた素晴らしい戦いは、これからも自分の胸を熱くし続けるだろう。

[@DeagleBeagle]

Andy's hits connected a lot better than Greco's on average. He may have hit a little less, but when he hit, it hurt hard. Andy also blocked many of Greco's hits well. In the first round definitely Hug won that one. 2nd round it was about even. 3rd round it was about even. So since Hug won the first round unquestionably, I would give it to hug. Close fight though.

In the last 3 days I have been watching all K-1 mach on KZbin bcs I'm at home for the Covid -19 and I have enjoyed very much to see Ernest Hoost , Mike Greco , Mirko Co.Cop , Jerome Le Banner and of course Andy Hug . I checked all of them also on Wikipedia to see their age , more or less me and them have same age and me too when I was young I start with art martial (Taekwondo) , nice art also but I wasn't a champion unfortunately ! I'm very sad to find out Andy Hug passed away very young , for me in these few days he was the number one in K-1 , Karate , Kick boking ……. I couldn't be live when I saw the date of his Birthday " Zurich, 7 September 1964 - Tokyo, 24 August 2000 " I thought a mistake but when I checked well I really felt very sad . I watched also his documentary , he was the best athlete and I think until now nobody is better than him , he could be again and again champion . Now he is a " Legend " I hope to see a movie about him like another Legend I feel sorry is Mike Shumaker also is unbelievable what happen to him . I hope he Rest In Pece and from the Heaven is looking his family with smile , as his fan I give my respect and pray for him , he wrote a message to his fans when he got the result from the Doctor , he said : "Dear Fans, I think that you will be shocked when you hear in what state of health I am. When the doctor told me about it, it was an enormous shock even for myself. But I want to inform you about my state of health so that I can fight together with you against this illness. This illness is the most severe opponent of all my fights. But I will win. As if I would stand in the ring I will get power from your cheers and beat this strong opponent. Unfortunately I will not be able to fight at the tournament in October. I will fight against this illness in Japan and one day I will appear again with you. Don't lose hope! Greetings, Andy Hug" - The message Hug posted to his fans on the internet on August 22, 2000, after learning of his illness Just now I know about how great was him and after 21 years I'm really shocked like he thought about his fan when will hear about his health . We never know when our time comes , we have to be strong and don't be afraid to pass away specially in this time , I'm sure we see again with our dears friends , relatives and like he said " one day I will appear again with you. Don't lose hope! " R.I.P.
