Dany Bill is a scientist in there. So precise and clean but still having style. You can definitely see his influence on fighters now. Dude could do everything.
These boys are legends what a lot of folks don't know is that Danny Bill was a Muay Thai Champion of France at the tender age of 15 how is that even possible? that just blew my mind when I first heard about it. Imagine that!!! I can't even get my head around that let alone grasp it. wow!!!
If adversity is in your life earlier, you find strength earlier too Sheltering children and stifling them will lead you not not being capable to fathom that possibility
In a french interview Dany Bill said that he was able to accelerate at the end of the match to try to knock Ramon out but he didn't... He also said that Ramon said to him before the fight "Dany, I know that if I want to win this match, I have to knock you out because I know that if it goes to the judge decision I will lose..."
Dekker's was known for his fighting spirit moreso than technical skill. While he was no doubt skilled he wasn't ever as polished as someone like Danny Bille, who is a guy who could beat Thais by being MORE technical than them. Dekker's legacy is his never die attitude and ferocity . A guy like Danny Bille was technically better than Dekkers but his style didn't inspire people the same way. But make no mistake Bille was the better fighter this fight.
thats the normal explanation - i disagree - it's not apparent thats that the case at all IMAO. Dekkers appears to be able to crush much - Also, I like Sauwer but quite frankly he is just a poor imitation of Dekkers.
Dany fought for points (more of a technician) not to say he doesn't knock people out and he has tons of power Dekkers fought for knockouts, but at this point in his career Dekkers was in pretty bad shape not saying he could beat Dany but I know he would have done better in his prime.
I remember breaking my foot in the Gym the night this fight went down and refusing to go to the Hospital until the endt, MY FOOT IS STILL FUCKED UP TOO DAMMIT.
MMA is a relatively new sport, and its much different than Muay Thai. How many times per year does an MMA fighter fight? On the bigger shows, usually anywhere from 3-5 times per year on average. On smaller shows, maybe a few more. A lot of these Thai fighters fought every other week early in their careers, and some of them have 75-100 fights before they even turn 20, and retire in their early 20s. Dekkers was an "old" 28 year old because he had a lot of fights, and injuries at that time.
This was after Dekkers had gone through many many injuries and surgeries. Shit......they thought they’d have to amputate his leg, before this fight. Dekkers in his PRIME and this would have been ONE HELLUVA FIGHT AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHO THE WINNER WOULD BE!!! 💯👊🏼💙😉 R.I.P. DIAMOND DEKKERS 🙏🏼😓💙
C'était un trés beau combat de Dany Bill! Cependant Dekkers fut méconnaissable... avec trés peu d'attaques et une défense trés amoindrie notemment en clinch! Un énorme respect tout de même à cet ancien champion! R.I.P
Quand tu écoutes Dany Bill en interview, il explique qu'il adore boxer en "technique" les pitbull, les boxeurs fonceurs et agressifs, comme Ramon Dekkers, et que c'est de par la technique qu'il gagne, surtout en contre et intelligence de combat. Du coup, je pense vraiment que Ramon Dekkers ne pouvait pas installer sa boxe habituelle, car il savait qu'il avait beaucoup trop de chance de se faire "punir" techniquement.
I've seen two legends fighting for the first time!! what a rare match-up!! power vs technique. offense vs defense. Noted for their exceptional physical prowess and technique, despite handicaps as foreigners, these two men had managed to stay at the top of the highly competitive Muay Thai world. In Rayen Simson fight, Dekker had already passed his peak. On the other hand, both were at their peak in this fight!! Bill must have been the toughest opponent in Dekker's career.
respect to these guys. the best fighters ever: ramon dekker, gilbert balentine, bill dany and jean-charles skarbowski. we keep them and the legendary fights in your memories.
Ramon is the most fearless fighter ever. He is never rejected a challenge for a fight, even the challenger was heavier........ Anyway, respect both. Great fight
Dany Bill was a great fight no doubt, but i think i should point out by this time in dekkers career his right leg was screwed, his doctor told him to stop fighting.he was meant to kick with his left but he continued to use the right sometimes.respect to both fighters.
Would like to see them fight when they were both in their prime. Dekkers is a legend but all the wear and tear from his many fights is showing here. He’s not the same fighter.
i said he is a good fighter man, no disrespect at all, im thai and i know how good he was back then. for me muay thai legends were Samart and Jomhod. dekkers was good thats why he won fighter of the year award. he has powerful punch and kick but in thailand elbows and knees count more points.
There used be a man who had won Simson in his prime at the age of 35. His name is Ivan Hippolyte, another legend. I wish I'd seen Dekker vs Ivan Hippolyte or Bill vs Hippolyte in their prime, although there was a slightly difference in weight between those fabulous three. fantasy fight!!!
Ramon Dekkers was a very good kickboxer, lots of power/fury. Unfortunately, many powerful martial artists/fighters don't live very long when using that approach. (I make a list if I got the time, but those in the know, knows exactly what I am referring to). This fight itself is very boring to watch for those "not" in the art, but man, two legends of opposites head to head.....RIP RD, your stamina/strength have given rise to many aspiring caucasian fighters....
every. hero meets his. brother hero one day. in his live this was one of dows days. technicley. danny bill was the best of the best in his time. respect to dekkers butt he won lot s of games becaouse of the thai ppl are smoll then western ppl 😎😉😎
Somaliano Hussein ; Bill only won because Dekkers was injured, and at the end of his career. A Dekkers in his prime would’ve been far too fast for him. No matter if he was bigger than your average Thai.
That being said even at the same age Danny Bille would have given Dekkers ALOT of problems. Just watch his strategy in this fight, he uses against Dekkers the exact kind of weapons that Dekkers was never good against. Straight punches and Thai clinching. Dekkers always hated those, that and elbows.
At 8:23 Ramon was thinking "What the hell" did this ever happend to me?? It could be a knockout for Ramon, created by Dany Bill. 12:47 again created by Dany Bill. R.I.P RAMON THE DIAMOND DEKKERS.
I watched a few clips of Dekker man he is so economical with his technique never a swing or a wasted motion just very technical very tight. I am trying to teach my students this just stick with technique and don't get into the trap of trying to throw everything and hope it lands.
Raziq good a few to many punches in the head i recon. Ramon often wins by knock out, wait till the time comes, then knock's em out...just doesn't always work.But hell of a fighter
Both of them is foreigner muaythai legend,.
Respect form thailand. And RIP Ramon Dekkers

@Hello There umm no, he couldn't win on points because Bill was too skilled
@Ten TenRDN most non Thai fighters do get robbed in Thailand.
@@MeanMurph This fight occured in France
Dekkers is such a drama queen. He lost majority of the time bc he wasnt on their lvl skill wise
@ThatGuy-_-Josshh one of the foreigners was black to.
Dekkers just didn't know when to quit. Crazy strong mentality but detrimental to his own health. RIP Ramon

bhauger1 yeah but if even if you match them up prime for prime day bill was still better
Ryan Anderson possibly the better technician but in their prime dekkers was the better fighter.

RIP Ramon.
All the best, Dany.
My coach said our homework was learning about these fighters glad he showed me these legends are awesome
@8:51 awesome switch to right hand. So smooth, and Dekkers ate it like a gummy bear. Truly legendary feats on display.
God damn what a chin. He took a perfect left high kick to the sweet spot and still got back up.

James Delheimer Dany bill is a beast. These commentators are clueless too.
Bill would beat him regardless, has more variations imo.
James Delheimer I’m a big Dekker fan but I don’t see him beating Bill, no matter the circumstances
Dany bill the best
Agree. You are 100% right.
At least those of us that know this sport wont remember Dekkers for these last few fights, But for the real dekkers.
2:58 That was a really nice move from Dany!
RIP Ramon
Rest In Peace Ramon :(
I kept waiting for the famous Danny Bill trip.
Dekker is realy tough as diamond,even after two hard high kicks by Bill he is on his legs,some other fighters would be knocked out.
Unfortunately, that moment wasn't his top performer🤔
Nunca tinha visto Ramón Dekker ser tão castigado numa luta. Luta fenomenal. E o Dani Bill é uma máquina de chutar.
Cierto!! Lo que paso es que le tuvo miedo

Respect to the Dutch Warrior from France. We miss you, Ramon.

Would like to see them fight when they were both in their prime. Dekkers is a legend but all the wear and tear from his many fights is showing here. He’s not the same fighter.
I still think Bill wins but at least it would have been competitive.
announcers were heartbroken watching Ramon take the L
The fact that the music for Wai Kru Ram Muay is playing during the fight and not before the fight is absolutely insulting.
rip ramon
RIP RAMON
That's the high kick Superbon keeps landing in ONE fc this year.
Inside the guard. Just slapping the chin.
Not exactly sure, but I believe it was around 95-97, well after Dekkers prime.
The background music is cool
Both legends

Music and the fight perfect combo.

ถ้า danny ระดมเข่าเข้าไปอีกนิด dekker โดนน๊อคแน่ dekker หมัดหนักแต่ท้องอ่อน
dekker โดนเข่าแล้วมีอาการตลอด
The thing that confuses me about this fight is what is up with Ramon in the clinch? He threw like 2 knees the whole fight while Danny teed off on him.
Injuries
@One Three lol where did you read that, hahaha clinch its so basic, obvious ramom knows how to react...
this was just a strange fight
