great to see these fights uploaded for posterity. the staredown before the fight made me smile. kamen was trying to look like a mean badass but roufus had an expression of total indifference. fantastic
J’y étais 🙏 Et jamais j’ai oublié cette revanche puisque j’ai tout fait après avoir vu à Bercy leur 1ere rencontre 3 ans auparavant. J’avais 21 ans lors du premier et 24 ans lors de ce combat revanche. Roufus? C’est bien simple, j’ai 55 ans aujourd’hui et jamais je ne l’oublierai. Battre le « Viking » ( c’était pour lui que je suis venus la 1ere fois, je ne connaissais pas Roufus honnêtement) 2 fois…wow! Respect ✊🏻 D’ailleurs ils étaient encore amis avant la mort de la Légende Kaman ( avril dernier )…RIP « the deutch man », « the viking », un des plus grands champions de tout les temps 🙏
Super technique de Full Contact , quel gâchis qui soit aller en kick boxing , qu’il est changé temps de catégorie , si il je serais resté dans sa catégorie et dans sa discipline il aurait été invaincu , et il aurait pu faire des stages dans le monde entier plus tard , dommage il n’a pas su gérer sa carrière .
And nowadays this style It is almost disapeard and It is very beautiful fighting style in my city some years ago there were plenty full Contact teacher and practitioners nowadays there are no gyms that teach full contact. It is a Pity i wish full Contact recovered his popularity.
It’s a shame that Muay Thai has overshadowed American full contact. This crafty style with side kicks, boxing footwork, question mark kicks and an emphasis on speed over power is all but lost in the US. It’s a beautiful and technical display of the effectiveness of the fusion of Karate and Boxing.
aside from Roufous (who made extensive modifications and adaptations to his style after the kitsongrit fight) American Full Contact "kickboxing" bouts were really just 2 men engaging in full contact karate/tkd matches. This style was not well rounded as evidenced by roufous complete dismantling at the hands of kitsongrit. the European styles featured strong use of leg kicks too which was anathema to traditional karate and TKD styles.
the jet was busy in 1994 he fought hoost too and lost 7 months after this fight and go look just how much more built and slower he was 7 months later I mean you can really tell he was juiced up. He looked so much better and faster in this fight and then 7 months later was way more built and had no bounce and slow kicks.
2:34 "Alors .... qu'est-ce-qu'on peut attendre ?" - "La fin des Hymnes nationaux d'abord ..." Bravo le journaleux c ça la base, le respect des règles ^-^
original full contact had no low kicks until it got crushed by muay thai. old american kickboxing still very more good looking than modern kickboxing/muay thai it was much more pretty, looked like a fighting dance.
Why did you walk into that left hook Robby? Why didn't you move in and out as you usually did in all of your fights? You are a true champion rregardless ! Thank you for inspiring me during all of this years! OUSS!
he was hurt by the 1st weaker left when he walked into the finishing left. He actually did the right thing in the moment. he was too close to back out and evade Roufous chasing him down with strikes after the 1st left do the correct boxing move then is to quickly dash in thus stifling any flurries of punches Roufous might be throwing and try to get a clinch on him until he stops seeing stars. but Roufous has been in a few fights and was able to instantly see that he hurt rob with the first one thus he was able to quickly decide to slip robs clinch using the slip to load up the finishing left, and it worked.
Yes, i guarantee it would have been a completely different outcome with muaythai rules, low kicks, knees, etc...sorry i know this is another discipline but it just doesnt look complete with a lot of the arsenal in full contact fighting taken away.
One indicator of taking steroids is losing hair. If you look at 10:55 both fighters tend to not have a full hairline. However, i'm not saying they roided up for sure, but there are some thin hints
Waylon Norris what ever you think buddy. I'm just using my right of free speech. Further on i read scientifique essays, books and so on about the dark figure of steroid abuse in sport. This gets supportet by the fact that back in the time there were less drug testings. However i said, it's justs hints...
Proof that, in spite of his defeat to Chamgpuek - which so many TH-cam Thai fanboys love to turn to - Roufus was a beast. Beat Kaman, of all people, who was notorious for beating the Thais.
Shame Roufus is most known for the loss to Kiatsongrit when here he utterly clowns on Kaman of all people. No low kicks doesn't excuse a champ looking like a chump.
J ai boxé à cette soirée, j avais 17 ans. MERCI Mrs Dida MERCI MRS Kebchi. Que de souvenirs.

Bon sang !!! la grande époque du KICK. Je l'avais vu en direct sur canal+.
Full contact

Putain.... l'orthographe et vous, ça fait deux....
Rip Rob Kaman. Rest in peace Champ. ❤️🙏❤️

@Jhon Sepulvedo GOOD FOR YOU I CANT DO THAT

I agree. It can be more aesthetically pleasing to watch than a pure Muay Thai match.
@@chitownmo muay thai is ugly... but it is more effective. thye got 8 weapons while kickboxing uses 4..the low kick it self changes the game a lot
@@flowrepins6663 I am aware.
Ikr everytime there is a kickboxing match now, Its like watching Muay thai with no elbows

La belle époque
wow...didnt realize roufus was this good..like Kaman, but dispatched him.
in his dreams no low kicks vs mr lowe kick,who looked verry sick
the jet was busy in 1994 he fought hoost too and lost 7 months after this fight and go look just how much more built and slower he was 7 months later I mean you can really tell he was juiced up.

Jason Voorhees he didnt have a bodybuilders body. you can get that bulky from natural weight and power training without steroids
Liquidcadmus are you trying to speak to a master ?
i saw that and i was shocked that it was the same year. doubled his size almost. insane.
@@Liquidcadmus you don't gain that much muscles in such short time without juice. FACT.
C'étais le bon temps ^^
2:34 "Alors .... qu'est-ce-qu'on peut attendre ?" - "La fin des Hymnes nationaux d'abord ..." Bravo le journaleux c ça la base, le respect des règles ^-^
Que de souvenirs ce combat. Vraiment fort the jet.
Plein la gueule ! Bravo, monsieur roufus. Le hollandais a pris la raclée de sa vie!
Moi j'y étais avec 2 potes, c'était le grand soir de Diafa Dida contre Ramón Deckers
Need Full dvd song track
Full-Contact but no low kick lolol
roufes no chance whit low kicks
original full contact had no low kicks until it got crushed by muay thai. old american kickboxing still very more good looking than modern kickboxing/muay thai it was much more pretty, looked like a fighting dance.
American Full Contact maybe adapted in some repertoire of modern kickboxing with mixture of Muay Thai and other styles of kickboxing.
Ça c'était des guerriers
Mucha suerte la de roufus
コメント欄を見るとかつてのアメリカンスタイルのキックボクシングがムエタイからの敗北で現在は失われてしまったのですね。一人の格闘技ファンとしては残念です。
RIP ROB KAMAN
Is Rob Kaman a Kyokushin fighter?
No
All these kaman fan boys. Lol.
У Руфуса отличный бокс и футворк.
Rick Roufus is the GOAT of American style kickboxing
Benny Urquidez is Number One.
Kaman could not use his lowkicks here...its a shame
Rip kamanRob 2024
De la boxe pieds poings sans low kicks 🤔

Wtf was er hier met Rob K aan de hand? Veel dreiging maar niks meer dan dat. Hele rare partij dit.
Kaman sans low kick...ca c est du canal plus

Kaman tactic proper.
Why American Kickboxing can't adapt to low kicks?
It’s because of its boxing routes. No attacks below belt line. This is a mix of western boxing and karate. Cool blend but a lil odd.

Kaman is much better maybe just a bad technical style
Qué muerto ese kaman!!! A la 1ra mano bien puesta, se fué al piso!!! Un vende humo absoluto!!!!
fullcontact karate:its a shame disapperead in favor of muay thai and boring mma.

Rob Kaman would kill him with lowkicks (rules)
But he's Christian 😎 He could destroy any bearded Middle East ,,fighter''.
Roufus est bon dans cette discipline mais en kick c'est une brêle pour pas dire un navet...en plus qu'est-ce qu'il se la pète !
Roufus beat him twice
