The Tyson of Kickboxing - Technique Breakdown

Ramon Dekkers was a legend in his own time. Dekkers dominated opponent’s with his non stop pressure and powerful combinations, earning multiple championship titles in kickboxing and muay thai. Dekkers achievements in Muay Thai were unheard for a westerner at the time, and greatly helped to popularize the style throughout the world.
With his powerful head and body hooks, tilting head movement and relentless aggression, Dekkers was like the Mike Tyson of kickboxing.
Only Tyson’s opponent’s never had to worry about him following up his punches with roundhouse kicks.
Like any good pressure fighter, Dekkers excelled at closing the distance.

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.

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 Thai fighter get's the victory if the foreign opponent doesn't dominate, it's generally known that Dekkers has been robbed multiple times. Thirdly Ramon Dekkers was the first foreign fighter that claimed the title Muay Thai Fighter of the Year in Thailand, he even got a Royal award from the Thai Royal Family for his services to the sport.

Is the 'disputed' mural still there on the wall in Breda? Dutch weirdly didn't value fighters at all, because they were profiled as related to crime, so sad. In time Breda's will realise the merit of Dekkers.

[@bloodwynn]

He inspired me 14 years ago to start training Muay Thai. Legend.

[@blueeyes6852]

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. His focus, determination, fierce competitiveness and phenomenal athleticism made him train hard and smart. He had to be obviously better or the W would go to his competitor. Rest in peace. We haven't forgotten.

[@calska140]

Thai rules are also weird about what scores points. Like clean punches score less than a defended roundhouse. I might be getting that wrong but it is that level of counterintuitive to Dutch kickboxing.

[@SimplyLimbo]

Thats why he went in hard during the coban fight

@@DedicatedSpartan by the time I learned of him... he had already passed away. I literally just found out, about 3 weeks ago. 2013 i believe is when that happened. RIP. Be well
