Peter Aerts amazing fighter with one of the longest longetivity in the sport. Fought the Best that K1 had. I understand why Badr, Spong and others respects him so much.
Rico is an amazing person. He respected Peter so much, that you can clearly see that he didn't wanted to KO Peter Aerts. I used to be the biggest fan of Bard Hari, still am. But Rico is as good as anyone else in the world. As a fighter and as a man
Deze partij al vele tientallen keren bekeken... 2 grootheden bij elkaar, Peter diep respect voor je unieke stijl, man wat heb jij d'r 'n hoop tegen 't canvas aan gekregen! Ik hoop dat Rico dit zo voort gaat zetten, nu al ruim 7 jaar ongeslagen, respect!
How time flies, I still clearly remember peter aerts first appearance at k1, and now he's 43 yo and yet... Still competitive at world class ranks. Unbelieveable
Rico wasn't in his prime either. He respects his oponents to much. He always says that he wants to bring his oponents until at least the fourth or fifth round. And he always says he wants his oponents to go back home to their family without any form of bad injury. So he is different. So he takes it a bit easy, even when he gets aggressive in a fight, he can easily change his emotions. For that, look up: "Guto vs Innocente". In the fourth round, Guto sweeps Rico. Rico gets a bit aggressive. From that moment he could have destroyed Guto, but the bell saved Guto. Guto makes a smart move imo. He hugs Rico after the bell, and Rico continued the fifth round to win the match eventually on points. Many people forget that. Rico vs Badr 2. You can see Badr and his team used that technique too. I think they analysed some recent matches from Rico. Also Badr said it himself that he underestimated Rico in the first fight. He was very disrespectful towards Rico in the first press conference from their first fight. Walked away, instead of doing a staredown. The second fight, they both had some trash talk like always, but there's also a vid from a weight in or something, where Badr hugged Rico. They also touched gloves before the fight and during the beginning of each round. No disrespect to Badr. Because Badr is Legend. How many KO'S he has is insane. Plus his rematches were 9 wins out of 10 back in the day.
The thing is Rico is the Glory Champion for so many years. Unbeaten for 12 matches in the last 5 years. Rico s career pinnacle doesn't revolve around beating somebody like Aerts. On the other hand Badr was never capable to win a relevant title. Back in the days the goal was K1 World GP and Badr always failed to win it. Now a days it s Glory, and Bodr can t touch that either. It s so sad that for Badr Hari beating Aerts is all he has, it became the pinnacle of his career. And let s remember a 25 yers old Badr Hari fought a 39 years old Aerts.
Peter is also great fighter, at least he faced this great fight until the end, and was almost as strong as his brother Rico ...thanks to both of them for this great fight ..
@@soisun2658 calling him miss, how sad.. Hed kill you with his pinky toe. Youve never left your moms basement and call someone out that has trained for many years
Who's the Commentator that said "Verhoeven doesn't just want the torch passed too him by Aerts, he wants to RIP IT FROM HIS HANDS?" WHOEVER you are, you made me absolutely break into laughing hysrerics! BRILLIANT JOB COMMENTATOR, YOU ARE THE BEST FOR FUNNY MOMENTS! THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
With great respect I express my humble opinion for these two fighters, I thank God for allowing me to see these two legends facing each other in a match in which they gave everything, and yes, Rico Verhoeven has long been a legend and entered Valhalla Kickboxing. Seeing the respect between the two, the dedication to their audience and a fight in which they gave their all is a true privilege. Long live one of the sports I love the most, and honor these two fighters. Con gran respeto emito mi humilde opinión por estos dos luchadores, le doy gracias a dios por haberme permitido ver a estas dos leyendas enfrentandose en un combate en el que entregaron todo, y si, Rico Verhoeven desde hace tiempo es una leyenda y entro al valhalla del Kickboxing. Ver el respeto entre ambos, la entrega a su público y un combate en el que dieron todo de sí es un verdadero privilegio. Larga vida a uno de los deportes que más amo, y honor a estos dos luchadores.
Ricos problem is that he looses control and situational adaption when being pressed by punches. That's why he never really lets his hands go. A LeBanner was technical inferior but under fire always stayed cool and would turn fights in seconds. Rico only trusts his kicks. A very good fighter but the prime guys from the 90s would all beat him
Peter earts: Age 43 years "old" Stands 3 full rounds with Rico And ...☝️ Rico wins by SPLIT decision ! Nobody did that asfar as i know??! Not Badr Not Jamal Not Benny Not Nobody !!!! Aerts = A LEGEND 💪😉 Always !
Aert's generation was the best The crazy bastard Aerts The warrior Andy Hug The sibylline Ernesto Hoost The rough Jerome Lebanner The psycopath Mike Bernardo The cold Mirko Crocop The beast Sam Greco The joker Ray sefo Even Musashi was a great fighter
Not only is Rico Verhoeven a great fighter and good looking guy, his answers were all highly respectful. Regarding Peter Aerts just image all of the damage his body and brain have endured all of these years of fighting.
Peter Aerts = my all time favorite K1 fighter. His high-kicks oooh my god :D Nice match but there is no cure for the age.. yet :) All the best for Peter and also Rico
Conditioning was the decisive factor in this fight. In his prime, Peter Aerts would have beaten Rico easily. This was the time when Ricco was about to quite kickboxing.
Aerts, came to check if Verhoeven was ready to take the crown. Aerts give him a good test, but Verhoeven stood ferm. Imagining those 2 fighters facing of both in the prime is pointless, Arts had his fame, Verhoeven has the momentum to make his name in kickboxing. Respect for Aerts he came to battle
It's obvious rico held back outta respect. You can see him talking to peter in the clinch letting him kno he isn't gonna try to hurt him in his last fight
Wish I could have seen this fight back in 2013. But it is a Timeless Classic any year! End of an Era > thank you PETER AERTS FOR 30 YRS. WORTH OF COMBAT & YOUR DEDICATION TO IT ALL & YOU FANS!
Peter probably would have won since he would have been in better shape with more speed and power, but Rico would have been fighting a completely different opponent and would need a different game plan.
What a performance by Peter Aerts....true legend!
Peter is a legend much respect for him . What a worrior

Yes but rico is ryu in street fighter
Peter does not worry
Respect to Peter! It's insane how fit he was. He is a hero off the sport!

Badr in his prime destroyed a much younger and better Peter!!
And not only that, he just barely lost at all

Peter Aerts bedankt gozer! Altijd van je wedstrijden genoten, zelfs al toen K1 pas net op Eurosport werd uitgezonden. Fantastisch! 🇳🇱

What a Great Warrior
He's 50 years old now
Yeah I still got the VHS of the 1993 tournament
Peter was 43 years old dont forget...
Respect Peter
And Peter is 12 kg less weight. That make a huge difference for sure. And beyond the younger fighter is a very good fighter.

Peter Aerts will forever be my favorite K1 kickboxer from the Netherlands. At 43, and the man was still in it with the young lions. Respect!!
So much respect for Peter, but also for Rico.
Amazing to see how Rico seems untouched by the kicks and punches from this legend.
A fix if there ever was one.
Thank you Dutch Lumberjack for all the Fights , Motivations and Emotions you was giving us. Legend
Peter is such a humble person and such a warrior 💪🏽
2 Dutch Giants, fighting machines in te ring but after the deepest respect to each other.
18:43 The man in the white beanie is actually shedding tears.
That is some respect.
Great fan.
Peter aerts en ayant 43 ans a réussi à faire un combat très serré avec le numéro 1 mondial. Chapeau 👏👏👏👏
Of all K1 Gp fighters Peter Aerts is my favourite absolute legend that man.
My favorite champion of K1! Legendary warrior, Dutch Lumberjack - Peter Aerts!
That was Seriously 1 of the Most Amazing Fights I've ever seen. God Bless Both of You Warriors... Much Respect 🙏 Thank You Both!!!
K1! Invented by the Dutch! Ruled by the Dutch! Best fight ever in K1! The old God against the next God! Both of them are Hero's!
Fans in the crowd were crying! They probably been watching Aerts fight since the beginning. I was quite touched, by that.
What a beast, Peter Aerts, to put on a performance like this at 43 years of age.
I remember that day as if it was yesterday , I was just a kid damn I miss those days ☹
Peter the legend

В таком возрасте так выступать ,Легенда Питер Айртс 🤘👍💪🔥
Согласен , внатуре лесоруб
Peter Aerts, vroeger zo gek als een deur; pas na een paar klappen begon hij te vechten en was niet te stoppen. Goeie gast.
Thank you Japan for all the respect you give to this legend .

Rico is shit compared to any fighter of the K1, he is no world class just a good fighter
Your brain is stuck in the 90's... sport evolved they wouldnt stand a fucking chance stop being delusionnal
@Leo G you are correct. My mistake. Late 90s to early 2000s. Crazy amount of talent.
