Not in his prime: more like in his prime of arrogance. Rick was a spectacular fighter in all respects, but because he never adopted the changes made to kickboxing - it prevented him from truly reaching his potential, unlike Ernesto Hoost, for example - who evolved quite significantly with every fight. But, be as it may - i'll still favor the oldschool american kickboxing (or savate), any day of the week.
Is this the same Rob Kaman? In the previous fight (which he won by KO), you see superb footwork and movement, brilliant counter-attacks and some good K-1 style kickboxing. And here - all of the sudden it's all gone out the window. Why would he do that...? Changing the game plan to hand advantages over to the opponent...I guess we'll never really know. Then again, in their fourth fight - it appears that the age gap took its toll.
@@Mark147KTM Dekkers said he liked Thailand weather more than Holland weather . No need for warm up . Rob Kaman liked the Thai weather as well , he stayed in Patthaya for years .
Kaman fought the thai's fight.....Timing, rhythm gave it all to the thai .....Kaman Should of boxed more and depended on his hands .....Gave it all away to the Thai!!
I guess in changpueaks gym all they train is left kick followed by double knees to the balls . What a dirty fighter . I been watching Muay Thai since 1995 and I've never seen a fight with so many low blows . Shame on referee for not warning the thai and deducting points .
Kitsongrit definitely had to change his game plan from their last fight, although his more aggressive kicking was stifled. Over 60% of his kicks were checked by Kaman, hence why Kitsongrit resorted to very sloppy hanging on neck clinch knees to balls. Tell tale signs of a frustrated fighter.
@@lemankurtz8950 Kaman is the ultimate big bully who can't beat smaller Asian dude lol . 10 Thai who were many KG smaller than him ( some 15 KG smaller ) all beat him up . Kiatsongrit beat the shit out of him in the fourth fight between them , Kiatsongrit beat Kaman twice first and third time with ease . This fight was the third at Lumpini and Rob was WAY bigger and still loss very easy .
@@8limbedwarriornakmuay175 WTF are you smoking? He faced 9 nak muays and defeated six of them, losing only to Changpuek, Sedou and Krongsak. He managed to defeat Changpuek in one of their fights. Anyone who can verify records can check this...but since you're an infamous Thai fanboy (I already refuted you before), you try to lie as much as you can. Get lost, fucker.
In stadium fights, kicks to the groin are usually tolerated, if i'm not mistaken its mostly the knee to the groins that are not allowed! Well at least according to one of my coaches when i was fighting in Pattaya!
Have to think Rob did not get the decision in this fight; was totally dominated in the clinch and his opponent spit on all his best shots. Great fight!
@@hahahahah8396 That mentality is still present. It's a way of coping to the one sided defeats that they suffered against undersized Thai fighters. If you can't beat them then you must damage their reputation. Nothing has changed, same tactics as in the old days. Western fighters get destroyed against Thai fighters so the coping mechanism is to say that Thai women cheers for the Westerners rather than the Thai fighters. Kaman was 10+ KG bigger than almost all his Thai opponents and yet Kaman record against Thai fighters is 8 wins and 7 losses. That's a pretty terrible record if you take into account that Kaman was 10+ KG bigger than nearly all of them. It's like if 147 lbs Spence go up 21 lbs and beat Canelo who is 168 lbs. Canelo would be seen as a joke. Well Kaman lost to 22 lbs smaller Thai fighters and the only way of coping for westerners is to say that Thai women cheers for Kaman and not for Changpuek.
@@hahahahah8396 Rob Kaman was 8-7 against way undersized Thai fighters. Ramon Dekkers was 11-31-0-1 against undersized Thai fighters.

Westerners try any method in order to try coping with that reality.
@@8limbedwarriornakmuay504 I agree sir. Some people don’t realize times have changed and most Asian woman are not in that mindset. You make valid points
Kaman's technical superiority is uncontestable
Kamans a lot bigger. The Thai fought a lot of bigger opponents.
Respect to him for that..
One of my favorite fighters besides buakaw samkor
The Thais are as tough as nails and hard to beat.

When two worlds collide
lumpinee stadium, the one place where the name mr low kick has no meaning lol everyone here is mr low kick.
Does not matter. Respect for Rob.
@@CyberP100 i think you miss my point, any westerner in lumpinee deserves respect, theres just nothing special about low kicks here lol
Lol! You sir are correct.
Low kick is a Muai Thai gift to the world!
I am pleased to see how they respect each other.
kind of crazy of Rob Kaman was allowed to fight small thai dudes.
Dnice's Voyage This small thai dudes fight better to Rob Kaman than al lot of big dudes like Ernesto Hoost.
this particular thai has beaten some of the best western kickboxers in history, including rick roufus in his prime.
Dnice's Voyage
There is a misconception that Kaman is a big dude. Amongst heavyweights he’s small.
@@miskatonicuniversityavclub202
roufus is good for american standards
nowhere near the top of the west imo
he beat hoost when he was young

It was extremely hot that day and he was drained. I remember him saying in an article.
@@Mark147KTM Rob doesn't have can't consistently pull off the same performance .
Watch on Wikipedia "Rob Kaman" then you find out how succesfull he was.
He was obviously feeling the pain from those low kick on the legs and ribs he received from Champuek.
Kammam and Changuepeak were the 2 greatest rivals of Ernesto Hoost that i remember , am I sure !?!?
🧐🤔🧐🤔
Wooow GREAT MEMORIES
Kaman starts off strong, but slowly loses ground. By the last round he is visibly not able to keep his guard up, or strike.
Hell yes! That shit does hurt 🤙🏼

why are there so many knees to the balls?
Not to the balls, but to the inner thighs

Knee to ball can be considered inappropriate but under thai rule you dont get your point deducted for that
compliments to Champeuk, to win with such weight difference in favor of Kaman
