Jerome Le Banner v Tyrone Spong

Kickboxing legends Tyrone Spong and Jerome Le Banner duke it out in this classic 2010 K1 bout.

[@prodrivebrasil]

At this age, Jerome Le Banner looks like a battle tank! What a great fighter!

[@clapdrix72]

He made the full transformation from pretty boy in his youth to a caricature of a battered bruiser.

[@BodyBeats242]

Jerome Le Banner .... the king that never wore a crown. What a legend and despite his attitude in the ring a gentle giant in real life.

[@thejackbancroft7336]

Indeed, Hoost shattering his arm is arguably the only reason that he did not win multiple Grand Prix. Le Banner was problematic for the greatest of all time for more than a decade.

[@user-jv8nv3lm4c]

His movements were gracefull! One of the older fighters that just beats the fucking snot out of a younger epic fighter. Absolute awesome performance

[@yeezusprice5526]

@Ww3 The truth Hunt was most definitely a warrior. Hunt beat Cro Cop in MMA. and in K-1 he ate the stiffest Cro Cop left high kick I’ve ever seen and he still got up to go to a decision, and Le Baner battered Hunts lead leg with the most brutal low kicks for 3 rounds and and Hunt was still throwing and landing big power punches that hurt Le Baner even tho his leg was bruised and literally turning black. Not to mention Hunt also knocked out Le Baner again and Hunt also was beating Fedor in the stand up until they went to the floor and it was all over for Mark Hunt but honestly once Mark Hunt started training at America Top Team he was at his best like he started developing a ground game lol to say Hunt is arrogant and thinks he’s “a god” is completely wrong lol he thanks Jesus Christ after every fight and always delivered walk off knocks outs not because he thought he was above his opponents but because he never believed in beating someone while they were down because he knew what it was like to be beaten at his lowest point when he severely abused by his father in fact his father would be him so badly and stop so Marks sister could fix the wounds and his father could get back to beating him. You’d be hard pressed to say that Mark Hunt isn’t only the toughest fighter ever but he is also the most honourable and humble individuals to ever grace combat sports. He is most definitely a warrior

Man I respect Tyrone Spong so much more after having watched this fight. I mean he got hit by a giant, but stood his ground and did a great job.

MAYBE IF S P O N G Y DON'T TAKE HALF HOUR BRAKE HE DON'T FINNISH THE FIGHT SPONGY IS A FREAKING LIAR THERE WAS NO KICK TO THE BALLS REMEMBER WE WATCHED IT BACK NO R E S P E C T T O T H E F R E A K I N G L I A R S P O N G

[@stalliontheplumber7406]

I have to give Spong credit for being this brave. Wow! He was in trouble in mid first round, but he really gave Lebanner good resistance. It's not easy to fight someone who's that much bigger. It's crazy to have a weight difference of 30 kilos between two fighters. So in my opinion, Spong is a really tough fighter.

[@user-ir1gz7gl9x]

Such pity he broke his leg like Anderson Silva and Chris Wideman in the fight when he was against Saki...

He excelled in -79kg tried k1 max -70 which was way to light, going k1 at around 93-95 kg vs 115 leBanner was too big a difference, respect to Le Banner its just the bad luck you have when you are a super middleweight.
