Maybe a rough decision for Murthel but the pressure is always on the challenger to win decisively and he wasn't able to turn the tide in his favor until r4. Also, Nieky was clearly carrying an injury on his right leg, exacerbated by that first tumble. Good fight from both men.
Well Nieky Holzken has moved up from losing the lightweight championship to win the welterweight title - though it wasn't easy - in fact I thought Murthel Groenhart finished all over him and was unlucky not to be awarded the title.
people say murthel won the 2nd fight. I disagree, if you look at the priority scoring criteria 6:02 it was close and hence the split decision. in the end looking at the scoring criteria you see why. clean scoring strikes with spectacular technique is rated higher. Holzken had more of those. While Murthel had more normal strikes. But the tally only counts strikes landed, no difference between spectacular or normal. Nicky also inflicted more cumulative damage, again Murthel hit with one one one one, and majority blocked by holzken, never combinations landed.
In their second fight, Groenhart fought the perfect fight and got robbed. I don't know what the hell happened to him in this fight. Wasn't himself. Great fight both.
he is not wearing any... what you see are holes in his ears coming from what is called 'tunnels' in europe, some sort of pearcing that requires a hole in the ear of the size of the piece youre gonna wear
Funny hearing a pro coach saying hard sparring really hard people cant take it. Yet his fighter trying to block catch low kicks!! So far from what I've seen nicki wins the first 3 rounds EASILY
We need 10 rounds in kickboxing. Murtel lost the 5 rounder. But I think with 10 he would have won, possibly got a knockout because Holzken was done in the last.
Commentators are not objective . Even when Groenheart make good combination and make ndown they say about defending and intelegence of holzken Groenhart Won he made more damage he thrown more variety of punches
gotta love glory for putting those kind of fights on youtube for free
FusRoDah shhhhhh!!
FusRoDah Because nobody cares about kickboxing
It's appreciated for sure!
Not everyone is an uncultured bitch like you.
indeed
18:25
when you want to beat life, but life beats you 10 times harder back
Nicky is one of my favorite kickbox fighters ever and ofcourse also the golden boy Badr Hari
Nieky.
Those Holzken leg kicks are deadly man especially after 2 or 3 rounds of just non stop kicking
19:21 Perfectly timed dodge, great technique
The code of respect in Glory is like none other

Felt good to watch Murthel evolve multiple times in one fight. Lol
START 9:15
Holzken clearly won 3-2
If you're a blind man
25:21 am I the only one that thinks those lefts from Hart look like forearm/elbows??
The respect at the end is unreal !
Can’t call no race card on this fight was great sports man ship, thank god they ain’t kill each other.
Man I wish kickboxing was bigger in the USA this shit is dope
1.2.3 for Nieky. He won
Fight => 9:12
Starts at 8:45
Who is here in 2024?
Holzkens output and pace in this fight was not his own...
Holzken used well the stationary position of greon in the two first rounds to his advantage. Devastating his lead leg
Murthel Groenhart sounds like the name of a magical cartoon topiary artist
nieky holzken mn favoriete nederlandse kickbokser!!
Joseph hij is belg clown
@@eltigre794 hij komt gewoon uit helmond hoor...(nederland)
weet niet wat je lult
i didn't know kickboxing could be funny too ! (at 18:25 )
Игорь Sarcasm что ты еще didnt now?
❤️ Nieky Holzken
Nicky gassed in the last round in that Denver air.
VorboteDesKrieg Nieky..
This is a Kickboxing Fight! 👍💪
I am a diesel 😂😂
That slipping looks more like tactical than accidental

Groenhart always fighting dirty
Within about 10 years he can ring the bells in Notre Dame :)
this comment aged well
What an awesome fight!
Groenhart's left leg was destroyed by the end of round 2. Lets see what happens, still watching.
skip to 9:10 the fight starts
Thank you from 2021. Corona is still not over.
Awsom fight, both came ready
NICKY ........,,LEGEND,, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This fight was very close in the end.
It was a five round fight
Best part 31:39 haha old guy kis’em hahaha 😂
That's his grandpa
Nikey Holzken vs Connor McGregor .Почему не было боя? Я чего-то не понимаю?☺
Whats the name of the song 12:22 ?
Anybody know the name of the song between rounds 1 and 2?
Great fight
I do love watching murthel getting his ass handed to himself🤣👌👏👏👏👏
In their second fight, Groenhart fought the perfect fight and got robbed.
I don't know what the hell happened to him in this fight. Wasn't himself. Great fight both.
14:30that checked low kick really hurt murthel
When you think how easy Buakaw beat Holzken twice just using teaps..
Geweldige bokser! Congratz king!!
nikey took groenhart legs so he wouldnt be able to rush him and forced him basically to sit in the pocket with him
Great sportsmanship between two champs
Easy to score, 3 for Nicky. But kind of bittersweet for him, cause he got beat up in the last 2 rounds.
The toughest contender for nieky so far
Thats doumbe🤣
We Dutch dominate this sport🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Bart Smeets Moroccans
Moroccans trained by the Dutch
We where talking about fighters not about trainers
We dominate in both players and trainers, thats for sure. The Moroccans are maybe good for the second place.
@@oessie and many of them still are born in holland...
He can't deserve this belt the winner is Geornhart
holzken won clearly, you have no idea wtf you are talking about
Hoe heet het opkomst nummer van holzken
Why show groenharts knockout ratio as 6-2 other than to make his ratio look less garbage next to 13-1.
What skill!
what is song groenhart please
Murthel desperately wanted to wrestle.. 😂
Nieky loss this one... Im a nieky fan, but this was at best a tie.
Why didn't Holzken take his earrings out, must have been uncomfortable as fuck
he is not wearing any... what you see are holes in his ears coming from what is called 'tunnels' in europe, some sort of pearcing that requires a hole in the ear of the size of the piece youre gonna wear
***** im just stupid
HOUDINI 40 thanks for clearing that up, so basicly its the ear equivalent of a gaping anus after to much anal sex
great fight ;)
Молодец Ники Уделал Черныша.
Murthel was much better than holzken
100% percent
Not on points
gefixte wedstrijd.. nieky laat zich gek slaan, doet geen reet.
Klopt wel inderdaad
Kloptt eindelijk iemand die het ziet
glory is een mafia organisatie zware gokschandalen net als badr vs rico 🤣😂
Dinoo T 🧐
Echt valse
twee toppers!!
11:22 just watch Groenhart
Respect for both great fighters
This time,nickey clearly won🙋
Pra mim o Murthel ganhou, mas sempre puxam pro campeão se não tiver knockout.
Weet iemand hoe die intro heet van Groenhart niet die Nederlandse nummer.
More firecrew-oi
REALLY I CANT BELIEVE THAT IMPOSSIBLE... I think MURTEL it was better I can’t believe that. Fuck GLORY
Funny hearing a pro coach saying hard sparring really hard people cant take it. Yet his fighter trying to block catch low kicks!! So far from what I've seen nicki wins the first 3 rounds EASILY
Anybody know the intro song of groenhart
Shazam it
eigelijk vondt ik de winaar Murthel Groenhart
Surprised nieky gassed badly in the last two rounds suppose thats what happens when ur throwing an insane amount of kicks
WHY ARE THE OLD MAN AND NIEKY KISSING IN THE MOUTH , ?
news now philly its his grandfather
Dutch thing
Ugh
Its his father in law. Still kinda weird tho
We need 10 rounds in kickboxing. Murtel lost the 5 rounder. But I think with 10 he would have won, possibly got a knockout because Holzken was done in the last.
Douglas Edwards lol ten rounds your body can not take that
you get way more fatigued in Kickboxing than in boxing
If u planned to have kickboxing fights in the future yourself you wouldn’t say that. 3x3 rounds are the hell already
5 rounds at elevation is ridiculous
lol bro I don't think you have any idea how much more taxing kickboxing is than boxing.
Murthel almost finished Nieky in the last!
As much as I love Holzken, I don’t feel he should have won.
Sports should be fair period. Racist judges should be banned
Denver took the wind outta Holzken
is there any link to nieky's walk out song?
@18:25.. flyiiingg stupid!
Welke meid schreeuwt er zo
Ники мій кумір в цьому виді спорту.
Commentators are not objective . Even when Groenheart make good combination and make ndown they say about defending and intelegence of holzken
Groenhart Won he made more damage he thrown more variety of punches
AK Holcken to nietuzinkowy wojownik
Waarom loopt Nieky zn pappy altijd nekmasserend mee naar het midden in het begin bij de 'touch glove'>?
is de vader van zn vrouw
Hun kunnen echt goed Engels spreken de vechters😂
Hunnie
Dutch King
the ring girls are alright with me
Racism is hard fight. You can beat your opponent every time and still lose.
I LOVE HIS FIGHTS BUT KISSING MENS IN THE MOUTH , IS WEIRD ..
Thats he's grandpa
It’s not as weird in other countries
Im Dutch, thats still a little off IMHO
Many ppl in different countries kiss their sons on the lips; American men stop kissing lips when the boy is like 5-6?years old
Common guy's this is corruption. Groenhart defenetly won that battle
KW75 Jij snapt het. Z'n linkerbeen was helemaal draan
You’re right
A fight.......
Holzken homegirl just yelling on the side the whole time.. Ngl lie, i would be annoyed if i were him haha. But maybe he feels differently.
that glory rule, stay till the end of fight and you can win ) holzken loss definitely
salamon salamon low kick man low kick
Do the fighters and everyone in audience hear commentators talking?... always questioned this...
Daniel Rutz some of those who are close enough can. Especially if the crowd is quiet, like in Japan.
Tf he kissed him on the lips😳😳
Sdott 27 thats his dad
