@@Tlatoanimeh oh awesome! Unfortunately for me I didn't know about him until this series but glad to hear that! Thanks to this channel I'll definitely be following his career a lot more closely. I'm just really impressed by the way he approaches a fight and his knowledge of fighting techniques. I'd like to think a fighter would pay top dollar for his time to help them prepare for an opponent.
This dude is going to be one of the greatest coaches to ever live. I have so much respect for this man. He always says we. "We drilled this." "We didnt like that idea." Because he is humble enough to know he didnt get where he is by himself. Hats off.
Stuff like this really makes me wonder if I can become a decent Amateur Fighter. Combat Sports have proven to be several times more complicated than I ever thought growing up. Seriously dude, mad props for how you prepped for this fight
Coaches do most of the strategizing for you. So as long as you follow what your coach says and understands the points they're making, you *can* become a decent Amateur fighter. Fighting is a team sport. Unless you're someone like Nicolino Locche. Then you can smoke and skip training all you like lol.
@@NyangisKhan lol must be nice being him. I got ADHD so I gotta show up to the gym more often to make sure everything sticks. Hopefully I’ll be ready to execute those plans
"Oooooo this guy !! I remember, he is the best full contact striker in the world !!". That's how people probably react when they see him. He is modest and humble, that's how a warrior should behave, awesome 👍👍👍💯👌👌.
Exactly. But that is a tactic also, whether he realizes it or not. He's so busy giving props to the other guy, that it strokes his ego and makes him forget that Varga himself is a beast.
Love this series. I would love to see more from him. His explanations and breakdowns are awesome. Hope I can get a in person lesson from from him one day!
Their appearance are very striking in the ring. Kevin had neon green and pink shorts, colorful hair and tattoos, while Gabriel seems just like a shredded office worker.
I find this interesting....I had trained as a fighter and everyone in my class at school used to diss me because I had a peaceful non-macho demeanour, like you....and guys in general always estimated me to be "a walkover"....never did get into a fight, but now that those days are over, fun to see a quiet guy be a Champion....wouldn't want to mess with you, btw, even as a youngster.
Thanks for sharing, as usual, Gabe. Much appreciated! Would you, by chance, have any interest in breaking down one of your losses? Perhaps share with us how you pinpoint potential mistakes and the steps you would take to prevent yourself from making them in the future?
The practical simplicity with which you see and explain the science of the fight is frightfully easily understood by anyone and that, my friend, is the most basic requirement for being a great coach. I've been coaching boxing for many years and I wish I had the capacity to explain fight techniques and concepts in such a concise, simplified, and detailed manner. Thank you for this video; I've enjoyed it so much.
I really like your scientific approach as opposed to crude fights, this is like playing chess but with mistakes being both physically and mentally painful. Great job. What you do is inspiring on many levels.
One of the reasons GV is the best pro fighter on TH-cam is because he breaks down both his wins and losses with equal amounts of insight, humility and honor.
Great video, helps people like me who just watch MMA but doesnt really think of the mechanics to understand it more. Hope you would make some videos of other fighters either MMA or kickboxing and do a breakdown to how they counter their opponent and get the W. Thanks and cheers mate!
If I was fighting this guy, I would ask him how to beat himself. He would explain in detail EXACTLY how to beat himself and preplan it and give me option and after option and explain the technique. And he wouldn't lie about it. I would still lose. I think even most professional fighters would EVEN WITH his recommendations or training. This guy is pretty good. Bravo.
Hey I have a suggestion. Maybe you could study and dissect the boxer "El Diamente" Raul Marquez. That would be cool! He wasn't the greatest champion but be was a champion nonetheless and was a great Mexican fighter!
As a cerebral world-class kickboxer, what do you think makes Giorgio Petrosyan the best? His reaction speed? His strategy? His striking speed? Sure, all of them, but what distinguishes him most from the rest?
Actually, Kevin isn’t that great of a Muay Thai practitioner. He’s more your style, just doesn’t do in nearly as well, probably because CSA gym is junk too.
Im thinking about going out and train again. Im unsure if i want to do the hardcore kickbox stamina training again, while im 31 years old now, i want to take it a bit more slow. Thinking about jiu jitsu. I did do boxing and kickboxing. I did like the sparring, and bag training. Also i like the taekwondo hitting of pads a lot. But the kick and punch till you drop, that kind of stuff, i feel like im a bit done with that. Its just to much strain, maybe i had to harsh a relationship and im scared to give it all stamina wise. Im also scared of scuba diving now, while i dont know if i can take it... Its sad really, maybe im just to cautious, but i dont feel like dying. Its just that i like the kicking an punching so much, also the sparring was really cool. I dont like when guys go hardcore banging with sparring, and tell me that i should go easy. I think they dont get the point, maybe it is because it is really Dutch to spar that way... I like your take downs on fights you have done in the past, it is really educational. Any way, good luck! Maybe i will just stop by at a gym and take a look around and see what they are all about. Greetings, Jeff
I'm no fighter but I do enjoy your videos, style, and lack of ego. So many have big egos and something to prove but you seem tactical, cerebral, professional.
Amazing discussion totally transparent humble,I wonder in this age of digital replay how everyone/ anyone can review reassess re apply,Kevin can watch this anyone can learn and re evaluate anything, this tho is honest work. Thanks
ok lets be honest here first of all im not a fan of Ross but he was NOT a feared fighter and this fight was at the end of his career matter of fact second to last fight so i mean not take away from your victory but beating a fading fighter for his name yet not mentioning he was well past his prime is not cool thats like when Joe Schilling bragged about his victory over Thai legend Koaklai at 185lbs yet the Thai was at the end of his career and was a welterweight(147lbs) in his prime Thais are notorious for taking fights when they shouldnt simply for the money the US dollar makes them millionaires in Thailand and there is NO american kickboxer making big money so even Ross took fights he shouldnt have.
I can respect Modern Martial Artist for his breakdowns sometimes but alot of stuff that he "broken" down with Errol Spence and other boxers weren't really true. Your a cool analyser but your not the best man, sorry.
Really awesome to see this, thank you so much. I don't really follow MMA nor fight, but your breakdowns are an inspiration to me. Some years ago I started doing a very amateur version of video analysis for hobbyist medieval fighters and your approach to fights and analysis really gets me thinking. Awesome, and thank you Gabriel for being so open to share your style and training notes!
This video's are a work of art, as a performance artist they are super usefull, the opponents are often filthy rich patrons and supposed connoisseurs and my own lack of discipline
And then you want me to pay for UFC or boxing fights where the opponents act like a circus provoking each other with insults, like this is what sports are about. F that. This is the real sport content it should be shown and these are the athletes that should get the spotlight.
I still think it's cringey that fighters study each other for an advantage, defeats the purpose. I get why they do it of course, and a rematch mends the issue.
He just uses the advantage that his oponnents are always smaller than him buy if he fight against biggger opponent than him im sure he can get be defeated
That knee to punch does feel natural and powerful. Both the kneeing leg and the corresponding arm (say left knee & left arm) and then extension of both (leg back & arm forward... it does have a nice umph + a surprise element.
I love the way that you explain the tactics that you used in the fight. Gives a better grasp of what is happening in the fighters head, while they are fighting.
I'm really kinda messed up that I'm just now finding out about you; you seem like a really super awesome person and ultra talented fighter! Stay blessed!

@@maxanderson3733 What you should do is write everything down or video it so you can then practice at home
great to see the respect he has for his opponents. almost makes him feel like an underdog!
I’m convinced this is Stephen Thompson’s brothers whos into Muay Thai
Fantastic series. So great to hear someone who fought at such a high level break down techniques they used in such a way as this.
"Oooooo this guy !! I remember, he is the best full contact striker in the world !!". That's how people probably react when they see him. He is modest and humble, that's how a warrior should behave, awesome 👍👍👍💯👌👌.

It’s nice to hear a really concise breakdown, thought out by a team, and not just laid down as one long bragging session.
Their appearance are very striking in the ring. Kevin had neon green and pink shorts, colorful hair and tattoos, while Gabriel seems just like a shredded office worker.
Im loving these videos! Im learning so much in eight minutes. i just want to keep hearing you breakdown your fights all day lol.
this dude is a beast, great breakdown

Love seeing corkscrew punch come up in modern context!
I am actually impressed by ref there. On first punch where he was not defending any more he jumped in. Must be really hard and responsible job.
Thanks for sharing, as usual, Gabe. Much appreciated! Would you, by chance, have any interest in breaking down one of your losses? Perhaps share with us how you pinpoint potential mistakes and the steps you would take to prevent yourself from making them in the future?
This is a great idea!
Everyone has a plan until they punched in the... wait, the plan worked? How come?
You make incredible adjustments. Is that something you're just gifted with?

The two biggest milestones in any fighter's career:
1: Defeating high level Thai fighters.
2: Being on the Joe Rogan Experience.
Love the Varga Explains segments. His channel is great also.
Your fight IQ is incredible great work!
Always so interesting to hear game plans broken down by experts.
Can we have more slow motion please 😊👌
In a fight your best asset is your brain

This guy's corkscrew punch is when put into other words, splitting the jab, which is one of Manny Pacquiao's signature moves.

Who he beat again? Lol what Muay Thai legend? In kick boxing and k1? Lol why he's not fighting beast in Thailand Muay Thai style with all rule's?

Corkscrew, Andy Souwer's signature move
👌🏽
Dude u did alot of homework studying your opponents, u belong in the pages of tsun su The art of War..my respect to you...
You have the skill and spirit of a champion. Thanks for the videos

Natural ability, combat IQ, excellent training and coaching=success

Concerning the surprise punch: this timing is one of the fundamental basics you also learn in Karate.
I still think it's cringey that fighters study each other for an advantage, defeats the purpose. I get why they do it of course, and a rematch mends the issue.
How would you fight Charlie Z?
😂
Hi I just bought your book aggressive defense, its really good thank you 😁
I would have just done the judo chop, but I guess all that complicated stuff works too.
I always used the corkscrew whitout even realising it, its my most important punch hahah
I like your technique. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Until Varga fight in Muay Thai fight and rule, I'm not sold sold at all for his over all talents.
Ok so what I got from this is, study how your opponent studies other opponents, then switch up your usual technique
This video was 4x longer than the fight! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aren't you worried you'll get beaten if an opponent saw all this videos of yours?
This guy looks like an accountant
Books and covers am I right?
Not a fighter but your presentation is amazing. Thanks!!
It is exciting that seeing how much details on background, awesome
Before Gabriel goes on a date, he studies his women through social media and always scores on first date
I'd like to see videos where Varga loses and the winner explains the plan Varga-style
These videos are an excellent addition to your channel and would love to see more from Varga and other fighters. Keep up good work and happy training.
He just uses the advantage that his oponnents are always smaller than him buy if he fight against biggger opponent than him im sure he can get be defeated
This is soo cool. I aleays admire smart fighters than just stupidly strong ones
Priceless insights - really enjoying these.
awesome breakdown. absolutely love hearing it as much as watching.
How do I get started in this? What is the division called. Like how mma has UFC what is this called i like it.
Dude you are real and authentic and awesome. God bless your Mind
Dude that's crazy you nullified all his Weapons.
This is brilliant.. thanks from Sligo Ireland..
He has been studying Boxing Tech which is smart!
Can you breakdown Vergil Ortiz?
Wait did he say that he only took 2 minutes to beat him? Impressive
Thanks youtube for burying this video rip
I don't want this guy to see my videos on my cooking, he might find ways to counter each move hahaha! Amazing breakdown!
So cool to see you shout out GV’s channel. He deserves it 100%
It's incredible how a good preparation with good thinking can produce spectacular results. Great job, mate!
Why is he always giving his gameplan/strategy/tactics away??
would like to see how competitive fighting would have evolved without video
Dudes a combat sports version of batman. Mad respect!
Respect 🙏🙏🙏 this guy is godlike humble!!!
