Who is your favourite kickboxer David

[@RealUncleKong]

Yo David just wanna recommend a boxer Carlos Monzon. Let me know if your going to make a vid bout him

[@Comprends-ton-Dim]

Why you didn't say lebanner is French ?

[@mcfireballs3491]

As a young Dutch k-1 fan, I was always scared when one of the Dutch guys had to go against Le Banner. He was the boogeyman. He's such a beast, and technical as well. I think it's really weird he never won the K-1, he deserved a title.

[@kiboma4209]

And yet a small Thai gave him so many problems, sure he won but I felt like it was draw or a robbery

[@ra-ge]

Yeah but there were so many great fighters, so to win you had to be truly exceptional.Great fighters especially from Holland.I've always admired Dutch kickboxing.

[@Notmymycology]

Le banner, Bernardo, and crocop. The best to never win the gp. They were all terrifying

[@ra-ge]

@@Notmymycology You're wrong about Crocop, he won the last one, I think in 2012.

[@Notmymycology]

@@ra-ge wow!!! Your 100% correct how did I not remember that 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂

[@idanthyrsus6887]

Hoost is a monster. Only guy I ever saw injure someone when they kicked his shin... they kicked him and they got injured.

[@WaywardBrigand]

Silva broke his shin over Weidman's leg in their rematch.

Awesome stuff. Hoost has had some great fights against LeBanner. I actually got the chance to speak to him when I visited the Netherlands. I somehow ended up with his phone number. He was gracious and gave me some training advice and gyms I could visit. He's always been a favorite for me.

[@TheModernMartialArtist]

That's very cool! Glad to hear he's such a nice dude in person.

[@MrScar665]

Old K1 and PRIDE were a pinacle of combat sports for me. No one cared for weight classes, everyone was rooting for best fighters and there was no trash talk & drama in focus. Really a golden age of combat sports IMO

[@closefomo]

There was a lot of Trash Talk in PRIDE ..

[@bigstupidgrin]

You had me at Hoost. Although you could say that with a bunch of people in this tournament.

[@alexandriaarmstrong1459]

This is objectively the best martial arts channel on youtube

[@barochoc]

Hoost is the first name that comes to mind when I hear K1. An absolute wrecking machine. Le Banner was a monster that nobody wanted to face. Savage power and some great techniques. Both guys came to finish, no score a win.

[@jhamk1676]

Hoost and Le Banner is one of those incredible rivalries in K1. The first got his dedicated video, I'd love it if you did the same for Jérome !

[@labinott]

K-1 was legendary sport with legendary fighters! No sport comes even close to these k-1 days ❤ 🙇‍♂️💪🏻👑🙏🏻

[@RAZVANJUSTIN1]

So unlucky for Lebanner , he beat all the champions but never won the championship

[@mpforeverunlimited]

Chael sonnen

[@jimbo9661]

So u could argue he is a champion in his own right.

[@RAZVANJUSTIN1]

@@jimbo9661 Even mark Hunt or Overeem Won a championship and they didnt have too many fights in K1, Idk how u can be so unlucky like Lebanner

[@jamara2319]

Pls keep pushing out videos for this tournament as quick as possible. These are becoming my favorite breakdowns as of late

[@truecrimeradio1488]

Absolutely fantastic videos thank you so much for making these!

[@danielhenderson8316]

1:10 The exact moment than Francisco Filho's fighting soul left his body. The man was never the same after that.

The WARS Le Banner had with Mark Hunt are Epic also

Man, I can’t thank you enough for these videos. Keep it up

[@gabrielpick8774]

This was epic please do the rest faster , I'm so excited to see it !!!

[@stuffstuff8942]

I can’t believe they fought each other 5 times

[@ra-ge]

Thank you for bringing back those memories and for your great breakdowns.When the best fought the best in K1. And bringing back Mr. Perfect's incredible skills.And props to Le Banner he did beat Hoost twice.

Agreed. Lawrence kenshin a close 2nd

[@dilbopillobobip7528]

ur content is so freakin' goated dude.

[@adamfitzgerald911]

Ernesto Hoost, in my opinion, is the greatest K-1 kick-boxer of any period. He has won the K-1 Championship 4 times, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2002. In 1993 Hoost had win the K-2 Championship. He is also the only person to beat every single K-1 world champion and runner up, some at multiple times.Retiring with a record of 99 wins and 21 losses. Peter Aerts 4x Jerome LeBanner 3x Andy Hug 3x Ray Sefo 3x Mirko Filipovic 3x Sam Greco 3x Stefan Leko 3x Musashi 2x Fransisco Filho 2x Maurice Smith 2x

[@gruenwalski8821]

Did he win against Bonjasky and Schild?

[@larryragland887]

I can't wait to see the rest of this series

[@fanoffighting4283]

Legendary time with legendary fighters!!

[@TheSquad4life]

Much love . Would be much Appreciated if you could do a break down of the style of Dwight Muhammad Qawi. Awesome boxer from the 80s and early 90s. Your technical break down would do him justice

[@CombatSportsNerd]

The Anime Tournament I never knew I wanted

[@Notmymycology]

And they did it for 10 years or better .This was truly the golden age

[@CombatSportsNerd]

@@Notmymycology so fucking awesome

[@amishrider]

Loved the K1 in the 90's

[@blacknapalm2131]

The Japanese ring announcer when Hoost came out was always amazing *Ernessssstoooooooooooo Ahhh Hooostoooo aaaaaaahhh!*

[@NYMartialArtsAcademy]

Great breakdown 👍💪

[@MajinBLJ]

perfect timing 💨💨

[@Ruskad]

This might sound weird but I first heard of Hoost when I saw a recording of his appearance on Gaki no Tsukai's Silent Library series. They mentioned something about him being a fighter but that didn't really matter for the content he was making with them. lol Had no idea he was such an icon in the martial arts world.

What i remember most about jerome le banner from watching him on ESPN 2 back in 2002-2003? Those iconic gold and black shorts (not shown here)

[@pmprei3767]

[@katacutie]

Hoost is super entertaining to watch. It's also special to see a kickboxer specialized in leg kicks outbox a pure boxer

[@Torontokid]

K1 will always hold such a huge part of my heart. RiP Hug

[@j.g.951]

I’d love to see a breakdown of Forrest Griffins unorthodox style of fighting! He seems so awkward you’d think he’d never learned how to punch when you see him sometimes. Yet he lands with such heavy hands. I’m no expert but obviously there has to be a technique behind his style that enabled him to be so successful and entertaining. Love it if you’d make a video on him! I love your videos! Your highly technical yet easily understandable style is awesome.

[@ohtebowah]

Forrest didn't have heavy hands and was known as a pretty bad striker. I don't think there's much to break down other than he was tough and not very technical

[@j.g.951]

Not very technical in a technical sense(lol) yet he had a specific style all his own as well as a strategy. That’s what I’d be interested in hearing him analyze. Even though Forrest seems like he’s just wailing wildy(and maybe he is) I still think there’s a “technical” aspect of any fight or brawl that can be gleened by an expert like this guys channel. BTW I’m no expert so could be way off here but it makes sense to me hahaha

[@alphonsefabien2026]

Don't forget to do an analysis on Manson Gibson. I will really appreciate it. Thanks Bro, Love your channel

[@sethteeter1553]

Hey when is Ali norton 2 coming I thought you said it was in the next 5 videos and that was almost 10 vids ago not trying to be impatient just wondering

[@TheModernMartialArtist]

That was part of the deal with Top Rank and WSC which took longer to clinch than I thought. So it should be soon, really sorry for the delay!

[@sethteeter1553]

It's okay your content is awesome nonetheless.

[@emin62bek]

Never knew these because I don’t watch kickboxing but nevertheless great video. I enjoyed it.

[@ChocolateMilkCultLeader]

You should do one on the checking with the shins that Hoost did. I'd love to know more about that Edit: He has a video on this. As with all of David's other work, it is amazing

[@ChocolateMilkCultLeader]

@@sus425 searched it up. It's top tier

[@abhineetsolomonhawes1723]

What to search pls help

[@joeperry2065]

That tourney was full of legends. I wish tourneys like that still were a thing.

[@X9Z17]

Those hooks from Jerome, I'd almost call some Hookjabs (is that a term?), the way his arm is basically straight when he lands, with the arcing of the arm sideways throwing off the guarding somewhat.

[@loslobos786]

The thing nobody is mentioning though is how did Hoost win that second fight....by Boxing. Boxing really is the superior sport when you take a kickboxer and put him against a boxer he usually always loses only when he abandons the key elements of Kickboxing and learns boxing does he win, it truly is the sport of kings.

[@blackprotestant6856]

Modern martial artist, Can you make a video on the 2 Tyson vs Holyfield fights?

😯 what a punching combination from the best kicker in the game.

Whats the song at 1:50??

[@psalmerperena4120]

Can you do a breakdown of Wilfredo Gomez next?

can someone explain me why there were 2 fights in this video ?

Please do Aerts Vs Bernardo, please??
