[@alexbarbu2287]

For me Alexey is the best tactician ever to fight in K1. A true legend that left behind some of the most spectacular and unexpected KO's. It's true he could have possibly achieved more if not his problems, but who is perfect? All I wanna say is: thank you Red Scorpion, you were a joy to watch! Your fans will never forget you...

[@superchili9057]

alex barbu I love his style.

[@dirtymarek77]

we never forget you my friend and gladiator!!!! cheers

[@Micha_mg]

Thank you!!! His class was on a diferent level.

[@nocont1nu312]

regardless of his accomplishments, the Red Scorpion has always been a hero of mine.

[@romamekler5847]

the k1 whitout this guy is like a sky whitout a stars. there is no like you, alex, we miss you ;(

[@imoteph26]

still my number 1 K1 fighter. movements, style, nonchalant, bursting from talent. great to watch

[@SMCook]

After all this time, still one my favorite KZbin videos.

[@eludereluded]

This brings tears to my eyes, seriously. It's a story of a wasted talent. Brando's monologue fits perfectly.

[@armagedon4o501]

@Bogdan Hmelnickiy. ...... kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGrQfnWgYt55q6c

[@alen379]

One of the best ever. I rememer his fights during his prime. Nobody can repeat that. Thank you for all great battles champ!

[@abeu]

I used to defend Badr non stop against "haters"... that's until the day I saw this vid. When he had the guts to say 'Yea Iggy is just looking for one more paycheck" in this vid (pardon the transaltion). I lost all respect for Badr. U dont diss a man who held u up when ur winded. Guess only a real fighter understands this, not a Mayweather wannabe celeb.

[@Cherub1m]

Pei Cai Pan Badr wil always be a little child never getting over his anger. To say something like this to a guy that has overcome something like this i have also no respect. Badr might be gifted but he is stupid enough to waste it entirely

[@DouweEgbert]

Cherub1m dont think we will see Badr fight again ....he is done

SCORPION IS NOT DRUNK PEOPLE TYPE

[@fightcampro1358]

Still here after so many years to review this masterpiece...still goosebumps every time

[@alexbarbu2287]

True, very very true..

[@zsombi84]

ALL time favourite no matter what happened with him or who he lost to.

SCORPION IS NOT DRUNK PEOPLE TYPE

[@sabji559]

I once asked Peter Graham who is the best fighter he encountered. His answer was alexy is a very technical fighter.

[@okbbartini255]

Unmistakable and majestic, "Red Scorpion" is an unmatched talen.

[@fmscooter768]

one of the best ever, his cocky style to fight made you think doesnt he take it seriuos, but when watching him longer you could see how intelligent he was, his strokes had damn power and he was always a very fair guy, i just can watch up to him, great great russian red scorpion

[@81noxx]

I remember in the early days when k1 was ruled by my countrymen the dutch... the only foreign fighter they would shit themself for was the red scorpion! never will forget the look on fighters faces when those eerie violins started playing! total psych warfare!

[@ottovonbismarck5007]

PeterM Andy Hug, Le Banner, and Bernardo were also a big threat to the Dutch. Cro Cop beat Hoost a couple of times.

[@keyholderVideos]

i always had so much respect and love for alexey. amazing video,brought tear to my eye:(

[@crowley-whitey3121]

greatest and relaxed fighter ever!

[@SKATZ-MUSIC-LIKE-SUBSCRIBE-777]

soo much talent in one man!!! his attitude and laziness brought him down. He could indeed rely on his big talant but as time go by youre getting out of your prime. from 2003 on he didnt care anymore. Alexey: We love you, you brought so much inspiration to me and alot of fans from te clobe! youre great! Osu

[@Godmysheperd]

his worst enemy the alcohol

[@SKATZ-MUSIC-LIKE-SUBSCRIBE-777]

and laziness

[@crowley-whitey3121]

greatest fighter ever exist, so senn and balanced, great connection with body and mind but sometimes too laid back... great guy !

[@religionbang4001]

Alexey the best fighter in K1 for me greetings from Croatia Red Scorpion you will always be the best fighter for me and my father!❤

[@donatasgrigonis3084]

Grew up with this channel how come it is not recognised enough yet after all these years

[@1992mish]

from 3:35 to the end is almost to much too take.......... the sad,depressing look on ignashovs face and de niros voice in the background.................. AMAZING HIGHLIGHT..... "You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it."

[@NorjalainenRuoppaaja]

I know what you mean. I was a kid when I saw him fight. My favorites were Aerts, CroCop, but the Red Scorpion I always respected. He was this guy with a different style that could knock out guys with beautiful knees. Even his entrance song was class. It was sad to see him go out like that.

[@1992mish]

yeah....... he could have been the greatest ever............ it is so depressing to see what he has become........ i heard that he is taking on hesdey gerges ........... hope he knocks out gerges.............

[@EzziiG]

nagib khandaker iggy will never be a bum in my eyes, hes my hero.

[@mrCOMANCHEERO]

Леша мы тебя любим, МЫ С ТОБОЙ, ТЫ ЛУЧШИЙ

[@szewix1]

Our opponents are not our enemies, the alcohol and drugs are. This is a very touching movie about a lonely human, who lost in a single battles, but the war is not over yet. respect Alex

[@abeu]

We all loved you Iggy, everyone who watch K1 does. All the best!!

[@jeppanl]

I come back every year to check this beauty

[@mar1ang]

Awsome video for a great fighter and a person ! Full respect for this man - Alexey Ignashov !!! Wish you all the best in life !

[@alexyignashov9096]

My All time favourite K1 Champion , Win or lose Alexy Ignashov is the Best of all times ! Charismatic , enigmatic , inspirational ! I dream of meeting you in real life one day !

[@TjappieForLife]

One of the most talented fighters I've seen!

[@szakozs]

Alexey is a legend K1 fighter! Thx for this video.

[@CockRoachist]

Dhat dude was very inteligent fighter

[@EnterTheGooniverse]

1 of my fav & saddest HL's of all time

[@nikkrachunovski2075]

Fantastic Vid,mate !!! Just perfect...Is this the voice of Ralph Phines ? And about Iggy,the best fighter for me in K-1,EVER ! Алексей,Българските фенове на К-1 те обичат !!!

[@Micha_mg]

Oh, so im not alone. Cheers mates! Alexei was top

[@FrnnkEducation]

this is very well done. makes me very sad. I too researched alexey's past and find it a complete sham that he isn't fighting up to his potential and his name will never be as respected as it should

[@KilllahSK]

Really great work Will! Alexej was one of the greatest fighters...

[@ididntfindafunnyname]

Most impressive fight I saw was against Cyril Abidi. Abidis corner was forced to throw the towel due to Alexeys low kicks. Cyril could almost stand and if the fight would have lasted, that leg would have been gone for sure. Low kicks like a scorpion sting, undefendable. Great fighter, Alexey had so much style, almost grace in the ring!

[@Dubaiman123]

Nice music, great technician..still one of the best...it takes a lot to always fight...maybe he got tired every now and then..had some issues maybe left or right...but still a great fighter..

[@rafamursy2770]

Legend...

[@azizshalak8483]

it was you charlie

[@vreaujocuri]

wonderfull video....shows u what a person can be and how sometimes life is against u

[@travisbickle8130]

Great artist hé has Muay in his blood.Dangerous!And Never b ko's

[@HIMCULES]

How many people can you think of who could carry the name? Alexey Ignashov, for a time, he was the real life -not a movie- , The Red FUCKIN Scorpion. Good tribute, absolute respect to a world class martial ARTIST

[@farhad0019]

The best in kickboxing of all time

[@TheSolip]

damn man this video rly got to me...

[@andreeaoprea5235]

[@frysn3o]

just Respect

[@coreysenelale2214]

thanks mate awesome to hear

[@sbKalEl]

Wonderful video,music,speech, thank you for making this. For some reason when I see this wasted talent i want to fuckin' cry.

[@Irinanovicka]

очень красивый ролик несмотря на такой жесткий спорт! Радует, что нам есть кем гордиться.

[@marcuslatimer]

Best fighter ever in my eyes (mind you I am Dutch!) who never won the K1. I know from fighters who were in the K1 with him he drunk a bottle of wodka before entering the ring.... Alexey wasted his career, and he never was KO'd

[@user-xb7dp4vu3r]

I'm suffering depression

[@dg85bk49]

hang in there brother good times are coming much love

[@W.Shakespeare]

@flyhighkev @Mihalovics69 song is "anthem" - emancipator

[@Rntham01]

I love the kick boxer Alexey Ignashov. He was shining every time he fought in the ring. But once when he continued fighting and something wrong happened, he lost many things, the fame, the chance and expectations from fans. Similarly, K-1 is on the decline nowadays. While it may be true, I believe that he's one of the best kick boxer!

[@drakona357]

the most talented k1 fighter ever

[@cobratoxic]

This men diserve respect is an honor see is back

[@psymasterfly]

too bad... you will be sorely missed!

[@gibememoni]

nice vid im going to go watch raging bull for the 100th time now

[@cres110284]

Mi heroe... Espero poder ver pronto otra pelea de el y verlo de nuevo con su buen nivel...

[@mmmoroi]

Alex Ignashov was arguably the most gifted K-1 fighter ever. Pity he drank himself to ruin.

[@fernandes83]

I love it this video

[@Hooligan1989ify]

ignashov! Inspiration !!

[@Yaiden050]

Wish you had a Dutch team arround you, you where UNbeatible!!!

[@dirtymarek77]

he is or was the real ivan drago !!!!! he was so fast in defense and tactik and powerfull that was not from this earth!!!! for me the best fighter ever!!!!

[@Sodom1611]

he was great, in my opinion every k1 fighter fear from him in his prime..even hari

[@JonnyLofgren]

Masterpiece!

[@Nano512]

my hero forever!!!

[@coreysenelale2214]

i met alex in auckland i 2009/10 doing community work because hed been caught drink driving, anyway he is such a humble guy and i want to know if anyone knows where he is?

[@drakona357]

I'm so sorry for this guy

[@letsbox604]

they need to make a movie like raging bull for ignashov

[@cypresspuz]

@HeFilmsTheClouds You can see Badr was somehow kind of sad when he realized that.

[@catalinalexandru4988]

only 35k views ? wtf ? iggy is the best.

[@csige83]

He was The Best!

[@AndrewScotson]

Maybe, Ignashov is one of my greatest inspirations in thai boxing but these days guys are much bigger.

[@octanebp83]

He is still fighting, just announced last week he is going to fight Badr Hari for a third time! In Oct. 2013 At Legend in Moscow! Cant wait! Go Ignashov!!!

[@Nikaforgo1]

You are the best!!!!!!!

[@sarbis47]

he said: he is not here to stay for long!

[@713500]

astonishing!

[@HIMCULES]

I hate this video, because after this, nothing is worth watching and i have to get off the internet. Damn ignashov, i have cried for you, scorpion. When you fall, you just get the fuck up. Reach out you will see you have thousands of fans who want to see you doing well in life. Best wishes

[@Black-Circle]

MASTERPIECE !!!!

[@pofesen]

respect to the man who was the best but never on top

[@FIGHTINGsportTV]

Imagine alexey ignashov vs ernesto hoost in around 2002-2004.

[@coreysenelale2214]

Awesome thanks for that

[@meme3395]

Warrior and great technician. Was never knocked out. Could've been one of the greats if it wasn't for his alcohol problems..

[@saku0207]

AMAZING!!!

[@danielkele5528]

neeeeeeee love Alexey Ignashov :)

[@abeu]

Come on Iggy!! fight again!!!!

[@Black-Circle]

I could have been a contender WILL

[@HelloJapan05]

Will whats the story on this dude? I'm curious. Also great video

[@octanebp83]

excuse me November, if Hari doesn't get locked up.

[@cypresspuz]

This guy is amazing but kickboxing didnt really fill that hole in his soul although he could have been the greatest in this sport had so much potential even more than Badr Hari. He just never took K-1 seriously like he used to and he is done now im his fan but i know he will never come back again. Ever.

[@fernin69]

THE RED SCORPION

[@ambrusfuzesi3926]
