Legendary Fights: Jerome Le Banner v Ernesto Hoost

Jerome Le Banner takes on Ernesto Hoost at Star Wars '96.

[@bocajarro]

Ref definitely placed a bet on Hoost, he almost got him up from the floor, and count to 100.

[@Patfettx]

yeah lol, first knockdown, ref goes and flips Hoost on his back.... what?

[@clapdrix72]

No question

[@s_anno3624]

When you watch K1's legends era, you like all the fighters, each fight was legendary, each fighter was special, it was really unique

[@tldogmeat]

I've got this event on a Japanese vhs tape. They truly don't have events like this, anymore.

[@enzonight5617]

That was so Good

[@codymachado]

Shit was like real life street fighter bro for real. I miss k-1 and pride. Legit like street fighter especially with the super weight guys like zuluzinho, Akibono, sapp etc

[@ComikBookG]

Can you imagine a ref allowing a fight to go on like that, now?

[@shootoman]

In Japan, easily yes :)

[@jpm8288]

Back then, Japanese refs would let you fight until you die and would still keep counting until you got back up.

[@mfstarboy8690]

He even threw EH back up to his feet.

[@taoufikaoulillay3562]

Ref count to twenty 😂😂

[@eggscellentTH]

and rolled him over and picked him up lol! He did not want Hoost knocked out lol

[@KathyWeathersbeeSC]

LOL. ..both your comments funny as hell!

[@MrLoudthought]

🥴🥴🥴🥴💀🤦🏾‍♂️

[@juliojames5986]

Jerome the toughest frenchman ever in the ring. .

[@adamfitzgerald911]

"if he dies, he dies'

[@Mr.N-8]

Boy that ref game him a little too much of a chance. Legends. I remember playing the video game K1 as these guys.

[@emiliogarofoli1834]

Banner was one of the top 5 best of all time even without win a title in k-1 but his unique legendary fights remains in the history of this sport!!!!

[@King-pv8fk]

The most memorable one is against Nokweed

[@benkhaledmohamedali5149]

In france we call him « uncrowned king » roi sans couronne

[@phank.s.4052]

Le Roi Sans Couronne. 👑

[@chevalnomad1925]

Magnifique combat 👍 Geronimo 🇫🇷🇫🇷✊✊

[@castortroy6588]

2 all time greats

[@80srocknroller]

Ernesto Hoost the first ever 4 time K1 World Grand Prix Champion (1997, 1999, 2000 & 2002)

[@paulpv7]

Im from holland, just like Hoost, but Le banner should have won it in 2002, he just got unlucky with his injury

[@IvanM272]

Pauluzz99 should have, could have...there is no such thing in the history books.

[@80srocknroller]

@@IvanM272 Ernesto Hoost was like Peter Aerts a K1 legend

[@shootoman]

@@paulpv7 I hear you. That 2002 tournament left really bad taste to mouth how Hoost won it. In the first round Hoost got KO´d by damn Bob Sapp, but as Sapp wasn´t able to continue, Hoost went to next round. There he faced Ray Sefo and Sefo kicked to Hoosts block and broke his leg, so Hoost went to finals. In the finals he was getting beat by JLB, but then he landed a kick that broke LeBanners arm. I have nothing, but respect to Ernesto and he´s one of the greatest, but that specific tournament win felt so damn wrong.

[@carlhowitzer9768]

Epic chicken legs moment on ernesto.

[@donpatrese]

2 Legends!!

[@seanpatrickrowlette3309]

I loved this most excellent ref was able to flip Hoost over and get him away from ropes in one smooth flowing movement he still had gas in the tank to give the record longest count in combat history. 3 Stars in this epic battle AFAIC

[@djeeee911]

Real corner, good choice

[@RVBOY2]

Ref fresh out of the Mario Yamasaki school of refereeing.

[@fabian13333]

I love this legend series thank you

[@edwardcabras]

People meme about UFC refs, but these dudes literally pick you up off the ground and leave you standing there in Mortal Kombat FINISH HIM state so another trained killer can perform a fatality.

[@John14-6...]

Wow that ref wouldn't stopped it if the fighters brought a chair in the ring. He was like a WWF referee Lol

[@unknownentity8256]

Mario Yamasaki is proud of this ref

[@KuttyJoe]

I think a couple of those falls were also knockdowns.

[@portlandNASHTN]

I can't believe this referee let Ernesto keep fighting ,this is insane

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

Ya good job ref, he's out on his feet

[@kanonkenan]

Both are legends

[@cycosebh]

Deux enormes legendes ! 👍👊

[@carlosaof6589]

Boa luta! Acabei de assistir outra luta onde o Ernesto venceu o Jerome. Lutam muito!

[@thediaz07]

Portuguese? Regardless greats fights they had!

[@lew8691]

Le Banner 💪⚡⚡⚡

[@turquoiseBlue1231]

この時ホーストたしか子供生まれたばかりで寝不足だったよね　まだ未熟で不安定だったバンナに負けて相当悔しかっただろうけど翌年からのホーストは凄かったね バンナにフルボッコリベンジする姿はものすごく感動した

[@owaj256]

Geronimo 🇫🇷💪

[@user-mh9id9uh9o]

7:35これレフェリー助けてんじゃん！！ めちゃくちゃなルールだな

[@user-cc2tz4yb4q]

これはあかんよね、、レフェリーも観客と同じく試合展開と興奮に飲まれとる、、そもそもダウンした選手をひっくり返し、起こしちゃ駄目だろ、、猪狩元秀は最悪

[@MrStanko287]

Bravo Jérôme ! Ernesto hoost c’était une machine

[@RochX-7]

Legends.

[@workoutreunionivoula]

Superbe technique bravo île de la reunion

[@emanuelbarnes901]

2 Legends :D

[@griffon7725]

La grande époque de Jérôme au top de la forme et un gros mental !!! 🇫🇷👊👊

[@Krezo200]

Japanese mafia had some money on ernesto

[@caiomapa847]

Esse juiz é uma piada, o cara já não tinha condições de combate e o juiz claramente querendo roubar pra ele, foi preciso jogarem a toalha se não ele estaria contando até agora

[@kaboom362]

What a brawl!

[@randallhoward3231]

This was was my first time seeing this fight. It looked like the ref had his money on Ernesto Hoost. He let Hoost continue when he obviously dazed and confused. He was pretty much defenseless.

[@whoknows8223]

Also gave him a 30 second count to recover. Too bad it still didn't help

[@vens_USSR_19]

- Banna!!!... Saa!

[@Thanoswasright_]

9:06 mans said imma go head an sleep righ here ref

[@jsil_]

That ref needs retraining, he could barely stand after that drop

[@jsil_]

Well, hypothetically, that dude must be like 70 today

[@Krezo200]

Why the f*ck would you let that fight continue 😂😂😂😂😂

[@whoknows8223]

Because the ref got paid to let Hoost win. Isnt that obvious😅

[@Volkov-Andrey]

Судья ждал полотенце. Сам не рискнул такого мастера остановить.

[@joseclaudio9822]

Jérôme 🔥🔥🤜🤜🤜👍👍🏆🎖

[@user-qh2xy6nu8o]

2:1 Hoost-Le Baner

[@wass_dz]

2 légende

[@sashavetrov2744]

Ну после этого хуст его пару раз бил, о вообще они встречались раза 4 и только раз победил Ле банер, но тем не менее он крутейший дядя и на 2021 год он действующий супертяж, это дяде 48лет это монстр кикбоксинга, респектоссс Ле банеру.

[@jacobimmugatu8312]

beau combat Le Banner contre quarteron!! HAah .

[@GKHNKR]

Is the ref the uncle of mario yamasaki?

[@OscarBatucan]

I miss the K-1 days

[@QwertyZz12]

He is in my family not kidding

[@shanejumbo4432]

Battle of heavy weight vs middle weight right there.

[@AttackTheGasStation1]

Middle weight ? More than 100 kg, how Hoost could be a "middle weight" ?? 😂

[@maxrey4055]

Back then you only needed to wobble towards the judge after a standing 8

[@robbypodobinski824]

JLB was a monster

[@user-ol2bw8yy2h]

ホースとを飛ばしちゃうんだから すごいよね

[@trchalothedon7895]

Lightheavy vs heavyweight

[@beniu180]

the judge counted up to 25

[@lepeedtesmorts777]

The ref was clearly paid

[@dodikjaya8475]

Imagine referee like that in boxing,how many boxer will die

[@user-oe8me1bw4j]

初期K1じゃ優良レフェリーの部類の猪狩さんだけどこれは一回目ダウンで止めないと。

[@user-cc2tz4yb4q]

そう、猪狩元秀はあかん、、１度目のダウンでうつ伏せに倒れてるのに、レフェリーが手を貸し仰向けに起こしとる、、あり得ないよ。。しかも、もう素人が観てもフラフラでファイティングポーズまともに取れてないのに、歩いて来れたら試合再開とか、、テン・カウントルールは、選手が私生活が送れない様な、不可逆なダメージを防止するためのルールなのに、番狂わせと観客の異様な興奮にレフェリーが飲まれ、スポンサー側の理屈で試合続行、、猪狩元秀はあかん

[@rodrigoleonardoesteinoulip9890]

Si era por el árbitro suspendía la pelea hasta el otro día para que se recupere.😂😂

[@joet81]

I can't believe that the ref let the fight continue after that knock down. He rolled him over, then when he finally got up he was wobbling like crazy and not listening to the ref's instructions for about 10 seconds. Should've been stopped right there

[@whoknows8223]

Rigged fight/Corruption

[@coginthewheel779]

You're not allowed to throw elbows

[@whoknows8223]

7:34 Wtf? Why does the ref turn a knocked down fighter?

[@howtogrow3020]

Different weight classes. Makes a difference

[@jeffcahill5722]

not

[@deangoings]

he hit hoost on the top of the head, that's why he got hurt so bad. in the other four fights they had, hoost fuked him up.

[@nick3576]

Looks like Le Banner is 10kg heavier then Hoost here, the man is huge.

[@arthurperin2274]

would have loved to see a Lebanner or Hoost 96 vs Verhoeven 2020

[@kevthegoat8774]

Le Banner would be a better match to handle the size/strength of Verhoeven

[@MomoMomo-fu5mu]

Ça date de 1999 se combat

[@gambone]

What a bad ref he almost kill Hoost

[@kevthegoat8774]

Some of the most disgusting officiating you will ever see, it's almost like Le Banner wasn't meant to win...

[@marcovsasa4195]

Hoost goated

[@phank.s.4052]

Schilt beat everyone. He is the GOAT.

[@AdamJWM]

40lb weight difference!

[@kalvinsantero8122]

Its obvious the referee is biased...😂😂😂😂

[@eseyukiyaiguchi8136]

改めて思うのは K-1はキックボクシングではない K-1はK-1、 ルールの問題じゃない それに意味が有りましたよね

[@stokercarnage5194]

Dude has the same build as Jon Jones

[@stealth7516]

but like 30 lbs bigger

[@hudsonlewis8477]

Hoost 👍🏿🇧🇷

[@atlante4368]

Even though Ernesto Hoost lived in this same world, JLB is the best ever 😊

[@b.l.5099]

Tu oublies Andy Hug !!! Qui a battu JLB par TKO. Andy Hug était une légende

[@John14-6...]

Well that was built up and then ended up being anticlimactic

[@elorn9566]

Très beau combat. Mais étrange ces hum, hé, ha du commentateur 😀

[@hauntyoo]

so did they just put a random black guy into the poster as Hoost?? that´s def not Hoost :D

[@user-pw5ym2ho2v]

Пад шконку эрнеста

[@johnnydepretvideodivers8241]

Ah je suis content de voir sa je le savais qun jour il pourrait le battre car je l'avais déjà vue perdre 2fois face à lui bravo jérome 👍🥇 bientôt il va défoncer Patrice quarteron ces le prochain il s'entraîne comme un fou jérome en se moment pour bien lui faire mal car il parle trop p q

[@agentsmith6570]

i heard glory did go brankrupt. true?!

[@theboogieman401]

Na they will be back soon Already talking about doing fights

[@K1ANOOP]

Nope. Restructuring the company atm. GLORY will return😉

[@phank.s.4052]

No, they went into receivership. They'll come back soon with a lot of modifications in how they work.

[@gabrielcabazos223]

Awesome ko bt think that was da only ko win against hoost frm LA banner UGH SMH

[@ironfront9573]

Jerome looks like he weighs twice as much as Ernesto! His arms are as thick as Ernesto's thighs

[@robertbradshaw9367]

The referee should be ashamed. Appalling.

[@kazanbas1164]

Не нравится мне этот японяка-рефери, всегда когда судит бой, то всегда даёт фору Хусту, как с писаной торбой носится, а Ле Банера наоборот засуживает, не останавливает бой и не отсчитывает нокдаун и даже не отсчитывает Джерому нокаут - сразу признавая ему поражение. Если не верите посмотрите все поединки Ле Банера и Хуста с участием этого рефери

[@patnewway528]

you beat 1 dutch and then loose agianst the other. k1 90'

[@litolito3290]

The ref is not pair😁

[@user-ge7of9dk4j]

Ref condomm

[@user-kl4jm2bd1k]

この実況と解説は何？

[@user-cc2tz4yb4q]

後付けの解説

[@sergiovilela7352]

Quel bofon l’arbitre,ils l’ont trouvé ou ? Le combat aurait du être arrêté des le premier ko , ça peut provoqué des dommages irréversibles et même le deuxième il l’aurait pas arrêté ils ont été obligés de jeter l’éponge 😡

[@khetachecedric365]

dsl mais k0+++

[@ribexpressen12]

I hope that ref is out in lifetime.👎
