Namkabuan Watches His Namkabuan vs Dekkers Fight (1997) [turn on CC English Subtitles]

[@quanchaipurananda8951]

Today Namkabuan lost his final battle - to stage 4 lung cancer at the age of 48. R I P the legend.

[@thufirhawat3838]

May he rest in peace!

[@bryank4020]

No pride at all when he talks. Most of the time he is talking about his mistakes and praising Dekker. Amazing fighters these guys..really.

[@levqoo9640]

bro ik he is my best uncle like for real he is really my uncle like on my everything dude and i am glad that you supported him man.

[@sbaanda]

RIP, may he meet dekkers on the other side! 🙏

[@realpunkboy]

He casually talks about how to fight and win one of the most praised western fighters. Pointed out dekkers' and his own weaknesses in the most honest and simplest way. The guy is just chills.

[@echobravo1105]

Such a cool, charismatic and funny guy. Always be missed.

Thank you!

[@RaymondMillbrae]

I find myself watching your videos multiple times over, which is DEFINITELY not my norm. It’s just the fact that you interviewed legends, and we can see things from their perspective. Straight from the horses mouth, and no hearsay. Love your videos where you also train with legends. Something about catching them in time, forever. Like ancient people frozen in ice, or caught in amber for eons. Good videos!

[@jonklause5130]

Sylvie this reminds me of the early 90s in Thailand literally the whole country watched Ramon and Rob Kaman when they fought in Bangkok. it was just awesome. Thank you for all you do.

[@ianf8554]

Amazing video and project, and not just because Namkabuan is probably my all time fav nak muay. Look forward to seeing more. Aside from the obvious plus points of doing these type of videos I feel that they get straight to the heart and truth of the fight(s) in question and what the competing nak muay really felt (judging by Namkabuan's honest recollections) - the videos will give us truth and cut through the muddy and cliched opinions of the many social media "commentators" throughout the youtube world when it comes to Muay Thai in Thailand.

[@davideaw-lab6542]

I really would to see that with many other Legend fighters that show us many greatest fights Appreached it

[@NEXUSIX-T9]

That was so amazing to watch with Namkabuan. More, more, more of these when you can, Sylvie.

@@8limbsUs Hi Sylvie. I am new on this channel. And You posted a video, about Namkabuan vs Dekkers Fight and I am really glad that you watched his fight with Namkabuan. cuz he is the best uncle that ever existed. I met him when i was 5 or 6 and he wanted to stay the night in our old house in the Netherlands In Amsterdam. and he really was funny and loved me. cuz I remember a little bit that he was in our house and was hugging me at the stairs. And that's all that I could remember. So thank you so much for reacting to his fight. cuz he meant alot to me.

[@MajorRoy]

Thanks Sylvie for preserving the legacy. This is such a treasure for future generations, a window into the thai fighters mind and soul.

[@TheAntour]

I had a great honour to see this fight with two legends in Morocco this time. Thanks Sylvie.

ซิลเวีย สุดยอดมาก ได้คุยกับนำขบวนด้วย RIP Namkabuan Nampon Dekker

[@777philip]

This is a great video Sylvie and nice listening to Namkabuan's comments it made me smile because I had the chance to train with Yodchai Chainoi Bangkrathok who also fought Dekkers two times and when I asked what it was like fighting Ramon he said similar to Namkabuan that he hurt very bad to the legs and head! lol It would be really good if you could get the chance to do a video with Chanoi he teaches at the Honour gym in Ao Nang he is a fantastic teacher.

[@tjoohoo11]

This is seriously gold sylvie! is it considered weird or awkward in thailand to talk about older fights in detail like this? dont see any thais talk about it like here in the west.

[@realpunkboy]

Because, just by watching footages, the thai understand more than 50% of what was going on in those fights. And, we are one of the worst at producing things that are informative. Also, we suck at archiving.

[@neobebe9346]

What a nice man, what good concept. Enjoyed it a lot

[@levqoo9640]

bro ik he is my best uncle like for real he is really my uncle like on my everything dude. Cuz he came by to our old house and asked if he could stay the night at our house when I was like 5 or 6. And I can remember a little bit, but not alot. so thank you for supporting him, man. stay safe! :DD

Thanks, that was a great interview...and fight. Let’s see some Wangchannoi.

[@usedx115x]

Great video, I wonder if there is a way to access records for the weight advantages given back then. One of the most impressive things about Saenchais run is that we know exactly how much weight he was giving up to everyone, I wonder what it was like for the golden age legends?

[@8limbsUs]

The weight differences were much more pronounced back in the Golden Age. Rules were changed to keep weights much closer somewhere in the 2000s I believe. It was not uncommon for the very best of one weight class to fight yodmuay in the weight class above, back in the day.

[@Kevin3310]

DogimCW Well he lost to Wangchannoi twice. and that’s a lot considering Namkabuan lost

[@8limbsUs]

Karuhat also was hugely complimentary of Wangchannoi. Maybe seriously underrated by westerners?

[@MigApex]

@@8limbsUs Def underrated 😄 the way he stands tall and how he looks while throwing his punches is SCARY asf

[@Kevin3310]

Looking at Wangchannois fights on KZbin, he rarely loses. He’s lost to Neuthoranee, Chatchai and Samkor. I think that’s it? He’s beaten Namkabuan 2x, Oley, Superlek, Kaensak, Karuhat, Samart, Chatchai, Kongtoranee and many other champions.

[@thufirhawat3838]

@@Kevin3310 Namkabuan said in the video that they were 2:2, so obviously Wangchannoi lost to Namkabuan as well. It just was an even number of wins and losses.

[@caustixsoda8125]

Golden age? lol... You're saying that and makes me feel old 😳 I not only lived and trained in Dekkers Town I was in Thailand when he fought! I never thought it was a big deal until now.

[@caustixsoda8125]

I love how Namkabuan has pure respect for Dekkers. Most Thais do. They'd hire trainers to watch Dekker train, to try beat him. I dunno Sylvie, you didn't give Dekkers the respect the man deserves but Namkabuan definitely did. Dekkers got recognition from the king of Thailand. I watched most of his fights. He fought some extremely tough guys. There were stories of weight cuts and this and that. End of the day, a fighters pride will make an excuse. Dekkers never turned a fight down. Fact. Regardless of when and where he fought anyone. He did not try to cut corners. Dekkers, he didn't need to know clinch! He struck fear into his opponent out of pure heart. If he can do that without clinch then... Yea. The man was vicious. I seen him stop a guy with 1 kick so hard, when his opponent blocked he immediately stopped and put his hand up. Dekker just didn't flinch. Did you know he almost had his leg amputated? Did you know he was told to quit fighting but instead trained southpaw and fighting 50% of his body he still won! Dekkers to me is the epitome of fighter. Thais are tough, Dekker was and will always remain one of the toughest guys to step in a ring. His mental will and heart was unique. Even to Thais. You need to learn his story and your respect for that man will skyrocket. Multiple fractures, multiple surgeries and constant battle with agonising pain due to his relentless style of fighting. Search for a documentary called "the man behind the knockouts". I just feel you didn't give him the respect Namkabuan did. That guy knew who Dekkers was and he respected him. That I respect.

Thanks for the great video Sylvie! In my honest opinion, you should think about making this video public after a while.

i really like your channel but i kind of feel you are trying to discredit ramon saying he was bigger and idk just downgrading his skill saying he dosent do much just hit hard, but you dont say anything about diselnoi who was literraly way bigger than most his opponets ramon was a amazing fighter and i think that just because he isnt thai you dont give him his credit.

[@8limbsUs]

Dieselnoi was taller than his opponents, but not on the scale bigger. As he points out being very tall is not always an advantage. It takes great skill to turn that anatomy into an advantage. If being tall were a basic advantage like just being heavier is, all the great fighters would be tall fighters. In fact very few great Muay Thai fighters were tall. I think it good to hear what a Thai opponent like Namkabuan thought of fighting Dekkers, it's a side of the story seldom told.
