“Tough as a truck stop sirloin” lol
They obviously have never been to Buckies.
Yeah, that was a good one. He's trying to keep up with Schiavello.
Meaner than a toothless truck stop lot lizard too….
That bounce back was insane man 45 to be able to take licks like that and bounce back instant... Mad respect
Haha, great line.
Just imagine if JWP was 10 years younger. This would have been an all-time classic. The guy still looked pretty damn good for 45 lol. Still a really enjoyable contest.
Seanchai is 41 jears old and Lerdsila 40 Namsaknoi 42 together more then 1000 fights.
Then he is still 35 thats 10 years above the average 😂
Not so much the years it’s the wear and tear on that body.
@Paul Blackman spoken like someone who's never been punched before.
@Paul Blackman what are you even talking about?
Parr might be the most underrated Australian athlete ever he did so much in his sport but tbh most Australians don't even know who he is when I bring him up in conversation
Australian casuals know more about the likes of garbage like Jeff Horn. They take great pride from that thug's "achievements".
Yo take it easy on the hornet. He is a scrappy kid with heart for days. He’s no thug.
@@rebeccamorris5668 he's a thug. Why else would he use elbows, headbutts and headlocks on a boxing match?
@@bobomo5857 If you're talking about the way he lay on Pacquiao I'd say it was to cover gaps in his boxing.
when kambosos beat lopez, in the post fight interview he said "im the greatest australian fighter in history"... and i thought, JWP would disagree with you, lol
The fact that John is still going around and fighting is quite amazing.
Wayne.his name is Wayne
His name's Wayne.
@@TheUltimateWriterNZ how old is he ?
Few years ago in Sydney, a 40 yr old man died after a Muay Thai bout.
Usually, a martial artist has proved and earned all he can by his 30s and has changed jobs or become a trainer. My grandmother was 39 when I was born!
I don't like watching slow, stiff older fighters keep showing up for a paycheck, eventually one will die in the ring and we might start to think a little. Parr looked wobbly and old here.
I think people see “Wayne” and subconsciously attach “John” to it.
Nothing but respect and admiration for JWP, but don’t forget that Nieky is 38 years old and strikes like he’s still in his prime.
Full respect to John Wayne
Heart of a true warrior, he got knocked down for the third time, but he was coming up almost immediately even on the third time.
Lethwei match would be interesting to see between these two, but it's better not considering long term health.
For fighting way over his time and getting dropped 3 times in one round .
Wayne had his time for a very long time
Time to give it up
Before the brain 🧠 cell count gets smaller and smaller
He was a good gun slinger
he had no reason being in there
Respect, JWP combo's where incredible, the was just that obvious diffrence in power.. I think Nicky is juicing..
Would love to see Dekkers, Parr, Holzken, Masato, Buakaw, Kohi, Sauwer, and Petrosyan, all in their prime facing off in a K1 tournament.
that would be a hell of a tournament !!!
K1 MAX -The Legends Edition-! 👍👍
My god IMAGINE
Those fighters you listed don’t take showers… they take blood baths.
@@caseyalexander1705 damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
John is an absolute legend! I used to watch his fights when I was a kid. I'm a grandad now and he's still fighting!
Thats so wild! You got to love a fighter like that.
@@robertnewcomb1795 yeah he's certainly tough and durable. Of course I was exaggerating. I'm a dad, but not grandad yet😉🤣
@The Salty Constitutionalist lol. Yeah. Of course I'm joking. I'm not really a grandad (though I feel like it sometimes) And he's still competing. It's incredible determination
@The Salty Constitutionalist very true!
He'll probably still be fighting when you ARE a granddad.
Really glad this came in my recommended, a flash of history
Man John lost but still looked amazing especially for his age
No he didn't
@@MOO67204 shut up
Wayne
JWP is a legend and undoubtedly a warrior who would not give up, but he didn't look amazing in this fight at all. Unfortunately, you can see he's been in too many wars. He looked stiff and overextended in his strikes. The only thing that let him keep going was that he's still tough as nails. He should retire for good. He doesn't need to prove anything anymore, he's a legend of the sport. No need to risk his health in this type of mismatches.
@@Uro_Boros he's right dude. facts don't care about your feelings
Given his age and retirement I am impressed with John's performance. Nieky didn't seem as well conditioned as some of his prior fights though and he seemed more "lost", but he adapted to John's timings and attack patterns and punished his technical deficiencies when in time.
I don’t know which video YOU were watching mate...but I watched Nieky fight a perfect fight against an aged legend who was just too slow and predictable with his attacks, and had a terrible open guard which Holtzkien exposed beautifully in multiple different ways with numerous legitimate knockdowns (yup, that elbow too).
Nieky was completely calm and technically superb. Bro, I honestly don’t think you have a clue what you’re talking about, sorry 😐🤷♂️🙏
His name's Wayne, by the way.
The "John" bit is his fighter-name.
@@paulpelle3046 Yep perfect fight to me.🥊
@@caskstrength7629 yeah, it really was man. Kinda sad to watch, but Holzken played that perfectly. Tightened up his guard when needed, and just did beautiful counters...at least four landing HARD. 👌💪🙏
Nieky lucky he has age on his side. Took way too many shots. Parr has much reduced power
JWP ตำนานที่ยังคงอยู่ อายุ 45 แต่ยังต่อยได้ขนาดนี้ถือว่าสุดยอดแล้วครับ you're awesome
I had to do a double take when I saw the thumbnail. JWP still got the guts and heart but father time is always undefeated. I hope Nieky does more Muay Thai fights.
What a legend JWP is. Inspirational to see him in there competing in his mid 40's against people the calibre of Holzken. Great fight.
Living legend
This is classic for nieky holzken. His defense still translates with MMA gloves on. His check left hook and in the pocket style has always been my favorite
Many people seem unaware that JWP had a hip replacement in July of last year. That's why he retired, he wasn't sure if he would be able to fight again. If he was coming back I think maybe it was a touch premature, but time is no friend anymore. He acknowledges the good money is a big incentive, I hope he doesn't stay around too long.
Now that you mention it, it makes totally sense. He looked quite stiff and overextended in his strikes. Too many wars plus hip replacement will take much fluidity out of you. Still tough as nails, but he should hang em up for good. He's a legend ans has nothing to prove.
เวนซ์พาหมดสภาพแล้วครับตอนต้นยกแรกเชิงยังดี แต่ต่อยเหมือนคนมีอาการบาดเจ็บที่หลังหรืเหมือนคนโดนเส้นยึด ขายกเตะได้ไม่สูง เข่าก็ยกแทงไม่สูง และดูแข็งๆ แต่ก็ชื่นชมที่แกให้เกียรติมวยไทยเรา เผยแพร่วัฒนธรรมมวยไทยของเรา อายุขนาดนี้น่าจะเปิดยิมสอนมวยไทยดีกว่าถ้ายังมีใจรักมวยไทยนะ ใช้ชั้นเชิงสอนเด็กรุ่นต่อไปได้อยู่นะครับ
อายุ 45 ปี แต่ต่อยได้ขนาดนี้ก็สุดยอดแล้วครับ
Мне 45. Я люблю muay thai, но всему своё время! Джони решил немного денег вынять, но зрелище конечно было печальное!
Two all time greats and what a good show of respect.
Both Legends
Based on this match, three qualities stand out that make Holzken an extremely effective fighter: 1 excellent stamina, 2 insight, and 3 fast reflexes. His counter shots are deadly, he scored most of the heavy hits in the middle of an enemy attack, he immediately sees the vulnerability and strikes. And if the opponent does land a combo, he defends and immediately takes over the initiative again due to his superb stamina.
Not hard to counter a guy who's moving in slow motion
Been a fan of JWP since I saw him on The Contender Asia television show. He was team captain and Yodsanklai was on the team with him.
so, why is it that ive searched for hours on youtube and i cannot find that series ? contender asia, where do i find it bro ive looked everywhere.
nyghtsky try this channel bro
@@rastabg23 It was called kick fighter I think
I feel bad for the older fella, he's still a worrior, the show of respect almost had me emotional, just a simple gesture like a hug a an offering of liquids was a beautiful thing.
Парни огромное спасибо за бой! Это просто праздник! Две живые легенды! У Парра бошка до сих пор чугунная! Уважение👊
I thought JWP had retired. I think it's time for him to retire. Better to retire when you've still got it, then to just fade into obscurity with loss after loss.
He was retired, but agreed to participate in this fight.
Hell yeah, he wobbled three times there and that's just a bad look.
@@xyaeiounn JWP never looks bad, he just wants to fight.
At 46 wow still a Warrior to the bone! 🙏
Tremendous respect for John Wayne Parr. The definition of a warrior
John Wayne Parr lose his Sharpe
I saw him 10 years ago not like this
Father Time is undefeated.
"Wayne Parr does a quick count of his teeth"😂😂Legendary commentary. 😂
Sad really watching John still fighting young dudes at his age. Give him legend fights
Wow great from both men, two fabulous fighters. Nieky a beast, although you would think at the tale end of his career he's still relatively close to peak condition, what a technician he is. JWP at 45 not that active anymore what can you say, but absolute warrior of a man, gave a great account of himself against a legendary much closer to peak fighter. Obviously he's good enough, but personally wouldn't like to seem in there with really high level guys who are much younger than him at 45, but warriors are warriors I guess.
This is my favorite form of fighting. Love mma and love kickboxing but there is just something about this level of striking in a cage with the small glove. Rarely see this level of striking in mma and the small gloves is a whole different dynamics the the kickboxing gloves. Perfect but brutal mix for striking
This is muaythai not kb
"Tough as a truck stop sirloin" 😂
Never expected anything less from Holzken who's still a great fighter 🇳🇱💪
F'n Awesome,
Good Fight!!!
Respect for both,
Warriors!!!
🙏
That counter left hook that dropped him was perfect
Sportsmanship. Two men beating the heck out of each other, then hug and congratuate the other afterwards. Love this combat sport
I cannot believe how Parr still fights like that at 45. But this a young man's game.
Nieky showed a lot of restraint here. Would've been an amazing bout if JWP was a bit younger
Both living legends! In there prime time the Thai and K1 Fights were generally awesome!
What is this commentary 🤣 best thing I've heard on TH-cam in a good while lol
Jwp age surely showed... what a warrior from the Golden Era true pioneer
I remember watching K1 sometimes on Eurosport on my parents TV as a kid. I have to say this fight reminded me of these old days and I watched it much more eager that recent UFC fights.
Good luck ONE!
So much sportsmanship after the bout! True pros and fine men indeed. Much respect.
I was worried for JWP. Taking heavy shots like that isn't good for the body
This fight was so slick, no wasted kicks or punches. 2 top fighters going for it.
Good fight, good fighters and good spirit 🙏
Beyond the skill, just amazing character and sportsmanship. Wow. Class acts.
Amazing to watch
Sad to watch when old great warriors dont understand to retire.
JWP is a Legend - Nobody will ever beat father time. Been a fan of John since I first saw him in K1 kickboxing in the 2000's and he is also a home town hero of ours here on the Gold Coast.
both hard as nails
but John Wayne Parr is just a beast - in his age fights so aggressive
Awesome fight!!
Awesome Fight
Great fight... two great fighters!!!
I love the respect between these two warriors. 💪
C'est beau de voir le respect entre ces deux champions 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome fight and sportsmanship !
Truly 2 Star Legends!
Brilliant commentary: "With timing like that, Nicky Holzken shouldn't be Dutch, he should be Swiss". 😂
If it ain't Dutch it isn't much. 🤣
Nieky still got it
Some could even say late 30's is still prime years, JWP is way past that.
Wow both amazing!
I can't believe the legend JWP is still fighting. Absolute legend
Love the respect at the end.
Really awesome to see Nicky in MMA gloves, also, 45 years old and so sharp, badass. Thanks ONE.
Legends for sure. If only they were a bit closer in age when this fight happened
100% parr isnt as fast as he used to be.
@@daffiecars for sure.
Sorry, but wrong. The main problem was JWP’s terrible/non-existent guard. You cannot continually keep your hands low like that against ANY professional kick boxer/Thai boxer...especially one with Nieky’s clinical striking.
Hell...I’m pretty sure even I woulda given JWP some problems if he stood in front of me with his hands constantly down like that (particularly after throwing) too. Then there was that badly trailing right hand that he kept throwing, and the roundhouses with little to no hip rotation.
Nah man. You gotta respect a legend. But his main problem here was NOT his age (I’m also 45 btw...and 100% am faster than he is here 🤷♂️). His main problem was poor technique/technical mistakes...probably because he doesn’t train regularly anymore and forgetting his fundamentals/losing the muscle memory.
No disrespect, he’d smash me I’m sure...but I know what I saw. 🙏
@@paulpelle3046 Sorry but age and speed was the main problem. Still JWP put up a good fight.
@@danieljessop7140 nope. Age and lack of speed were the second problem. No guard was the main problem. Watch the fight again, and you’ll see. 🙏
Respect to both!
Congratulation for this twi warriors. Very good fight!
Two legends! Ramon Dekkers will proudly be looking down on both of them🙏👍
God Bless these warrior's never seen these two guys before but now will research these guys and these history! I'm usually 10 years behind
Tough lads! Hats off. Some solid hits there.
This age and those combinations thats just incredible
respect to both these guys
3:47 Smack bang on the kisser 😂😂😂
Great fight
Both quality blokes!
JWP got me into kickboxing in the mid 00's. He was the man of Aus kickboxing, levels above the rest. Sadly they don't broadcast it as much these days in Aus.
Wat een wederzijds respect. Super zoals het hoort.
JWP better stay safe. Age catch everyone.
New hip and this legend just won’t stop, one of the all time greats JWP
Both, wicked fighters!
45 years old respect 👍 hats off
Good on you mate. It was a great performance.
Awesome fight
One is so badass! I love the diversity of the matches! Can’t wait for the 1/2 Muay Thai fight with Mighty Mouse
Respect to both, that's how all fights in any discipline should be fought. Both tough as nails & then the respect at the end. Fantastic, l would like to see more of this from other fighters, but l doubt it 🙏
Incredible technique and respect
Great fight
Holzken in his prime was on a "OMG" level, but even now he's STILL on a "Don't make a mistake because he'll put you in the emergency room" level.
Respect to both veteran warriors.
If you don't know John wayne background he was on pod cast with Joe rogan
Wow. What inspiration this 45 year fighter.
Sportsmanship by true athletes.🙌👏
Are there more full Muay Thai fights ? Loving it
Nicky was calculated. Made his offense attempts count more. Good fight by both gentlemen.
excellent strikers both of them
👏👏👏 fantastic fight
Why is it all about John, praise to Nicky for total control of himself and the match. Not to mention the sportsmanship after. Thumbs up for both
JWP is so humble, obviously he embraced the Thai attitude.
Very good match
Even shared his water at the end. Amazing.
Props 2 these 2 men, takes good cardio to fight at a high pace like that.
