You got a shot from his pennacchio fight. Could you make a breakdown of that fight or of pennacchio himself?

[@timespace.productions7513]

As always, your appreciation of combat fundamentals is miraculously instructive and enlightening. It's my opinion that MMA isn't yet a "sweet science", with the rare exception of a handful of high-IQ fighters and coaches, because of the dearth of this type of analysis and incorporation. Being that it's actually in its infancy, there are naturally no people like Cus D'Amato, with a half century of experience, in modern full-contact MMA. Two or three decades maybe, but not five.

I would have never thought to look at Ramon Dekkers' defense if it weren't for videos like this. It's not the first thing that comes to mind when you look at a highlight reel, but to me it's now actually one of the most interesting things about him. He does a lot of things I've been thinking about, wondering how they would work (especially for boxing) and it's great to see them broken down and in action. That's why I keep coming back to this channel and rewatching videos, and what makes these videos more exciting and interesting to me than any KO highlight compilations. I wish I could buy your books where I am and hope your channel will continue to grow.

[@grandroofing1604]

I have seen all of his fights available. He was amazing. Died way too early. Nieky Holzken is one of his students. Also a champion

[@calska140]

Nieky Holzken's style is more like a Dutch Buakaw than Dekkers though. He's just in your face the whole fight slipping attacks or rolling with them and firing a counter. Dekkers is in your face too but it's not a constant and consistent pressure like Nieky. Dekkers picks you apart until he finds a rhythm and then makes it rain on you. Nieky is way more measured. Did a beautiful job on Kosmo Alexander picking his shots to get the KO. That's my favorite win of his. Dekkers wouldve poured on more aggression and worked different angles a little more.

The fact he fought internationally (mainly Thailand) brought him many challenges. One being, the judges. They were prejudiced against this fighter from Holland. The Thai's wanted Thais to win.
