First time i arrive in Bangkok Airport, got in the Limo..driver asks me out of the blue if i knew Ramon Dekkers..Just like that :) He is a house hold name on the other side of this globe.. Ramon Dekkers IS a Living Legend.. A Master in his own time, a sensei if ever there was one.. This man is the very best the Netherlands EVER had..always will be ! Respect..
We still love you Ramon Dekkers, you are the best !!! and forever, it's official man! You have inspired the whole Thai boxing community! long life Diamond !
ramon is a true legend. Even at this age still a dangerous striker and knows how to hang in there with big strikers. I wish he'd quit with his health, so many fighters can't let it go
To all you people talking trash about Ramon Dekker: I'd like to see you fight the way he does after six right ankle operations and countless years of training and fights. He is the real deal and a true warrior. The body always goes before the heart does.
as his opponent, you have 210 fights (185 wins) to study Ramon Dekkers strengths and weaknesses. He's a big inspiration, and after he won everything he could win in muay thay, he's fighting again, because he need it, respect
Ramon is a king, none can tell nothing again Ramon , he did it, no many people can do it...fight, fight and fight again, Ramon is a king ....."Onore" a Ramon Dekkers
I have the same story,I go many times to Thailand and taxi driver ask me where I come from,when I told him I come from Holland they always talk about Ramon dekker,he is very famous in thailand,rest in peach
i heard that he has a operation of leg. i don't know thats true. ramon is my favorite muay-thaiboxer. he is my inspiration to keep training and learn to hit faster and harder. peace to you ramon
This must have been a very old Ramon Dekkers or an injured Dekkers... he was very slow and not aggressive at all in this fight! He was a much much much better fighter than this before!
Yes i know but you should know that is elbow is fucked up on his right so he couldnt trow hard punshes with his right. He was the best but his age is catching in and his body cant take that much anymore. still love see him fighting. Big respect !!!!!
ramon is way better than other guy .. hes just too tired and what i could see dekkers couldnt go on close fights other guy was too tall and he knew how to make it imbalance for dekkers .. btw everyone got bad days .. dekkers is the best no matter what
Its impossible not to lose a couple of times even if ur the best. PPL who pretend to have fought many fights and to have a perfect fighting record are either lying or its because they never fought vs the best.
and BTW dekkers have his left leg hurt .. he cant fight as he did in past because doctor said he cant fight with left leg so he adapted a new fighting syle .. he doesnt fight the same way he did because his hurt but he wants to keep fighting not because his old ..
yes dekkers is kinda too old to fight now these days...he had his best time years ago...no more agresion in him...samo with mirko cro cop.anyway I love them both
@hipnaughtic I think all the last fights of dekkers were just with only left hand (Mes, Ludwig, and Abdel Tarzati). He didnt throw any right punch (i didnt notice that me). Of course he is past his prime, but Dekkers was the most fewarless fighter i ever know. He never rejected any challenge even with weight dissavantage. I am pissed with the keyboard wariors of youtube which they had no idea who is who before they saw them here. Sorry for my bad English.
dekkers no estaba en forma para competir desde mi punto de vista y estaba lecionado de las 2 piernas y el hombro derecho y aun asi desde mi punto de vista es mucho mejor que joeri mes dekkers era el mejor del mundo en sus tiempos de juventud va osea cuando peleaba en thailandia donde estan los mas duros del mundo y es algo indiscutible tengan en cuenta dekkers peleo con los mejores de thailandia y nunca perdio por ko incluso el gano por ko muchas peleas en thailandia the best dekkers
@krazzyyo2 What grounds are you basing this on? Would that be 'The Great' Kimbo sliced who has dominated UFC? Oh i'm sorry I forgot, Kimbo didnt even make it through the ultimate fighter - he lost because a fat guy lay on top of him. Please dont be so naive and shit thick to even think for one second that this 'street fighter' could even come close to a guy who is still regarded as one of the most dangerous fighters of all time, in an art that is also considered to be one of the most dangerous.
@RUSTYASMITH this is his last fight, as you see he fights almost the whole fight in southpaw position, cant use his entire right side. I think thats what made him one of the greatest champions, of course the fighting in Thailand which made him a big name in the sport, but also the willingness to fight anybody, anywhere, under any condition. This guy would go to the moon to fight a top Thai fighter without a spacesuit on.
this video just ruined my image for decker....when i started training in muay thai i wanted to be like decker but now i think that buakaw por pramuk is my idol......i think decker should give up now it is better for people to remember him when he was young and he was fighting....now he is only humiliating himself
@krijger1991 laat gaan joh, Het waren Kaman en Smit die de eerste daar waren. Kaman heeft nog veel betere resultaten daar neer gezet. Met Smit is het jammer genoeg niet zo goed afgelopen in z'n korte leven. Hun 2en hebben de weg geopend ook for ramon. Besides Ramon is not so old.
youri mes is not a chicken. you have to repsect dekkers even more for ramon for taking on an opponent like youri mes who clearly is not a sissy. he recently beat rayen simson .
his whole body hurt him - just trying to get conditioned for the fight a torture, too many old injuries. can tell you know what you speak- but can you look past the early days, observe he was never boxing genius, like Rob Kaman.. a brute with fighting style that suited him, and suited the era he fought the best thais.. he burned the candle at both ends, like Tyson. didnt take care of himself, very bad habits combined with his body so poorly used.. terrible decline and old before his time.
seen more than you have if you could say this clip is a good fight. i wouldn't go saying this fight is shit if i haven't seen better muay thai fights. i watch real stuff, psycho stuff, people struggling to live, non of this kind. if you know anything about tradition, one must not take more than three steps back in a fight.
Mja dekkers te oud, weet het niet duane ludwig kan hij dan wel weer af (met gescheurde ligamenten zelfs). Tegen joeri mes moet hij het dan weer afleggen. Dekkers vecht duidelijk niet op 100% (zoals ik de laatste tijd wel vaker zie) Joeri lijkt zenuwachtig en vecht ook niet op zen best volgens mij.
se nota k no usa la derecha...con todo y ser un abuelo les da guerra a todos jajajaja por eso es por lo k ace 20 años no tenia rivales...diamond legend

everybody loves dekkers, he's so loved even if
he's older because he's an amazing person :]

6.48 one thing is never change ,respect from thailand.

Hail to the King of Muay Thai RAMON "the Diamond aka Turbine from hell" DEKKERS!!! A livin' LEGEND!!!
RAMON DEKKER STILL BEING THE BEAST
Ramon is a king, none can tell nothing again Ramon , he did it, no many people can do it...fight, fight and fight again, Ramon is a king ....."Onore" a Ramon Dekkers
I think you've seen my whole conversation :)
ramon , esse é o rei !!! bate muito , quero ver aranha aguentar tanta pancada !!! já não treinam mas lutadores assim !!!
I have the same story,I go many times to Thailand and taxi driver ask me where I come from,when I told him I come from Holland they always talk about Ramon dekker,he is very famous in thailand,rest in peach
i heard that he has a operation of leg. i don't know thats true. ramon is my favorite muay-thaiboxer. he is my inspiration to keep training and learn to hit faster and harder. peace to you ramon
He has gone old my friend, he is still a legend thou
What an incredable warrior Dekkers is!!!
shamrock, couture, dekker, tyson, some legends just die hard ...sad
where can I find round 3?
ramon dekker beste vechter aller tijden ,, respect !!!
i am not new to MMA but i am new to thai boxing, i like dekker alot, but what happened to his right leg or whatever?
All bow your heads to Ramon Dekkers!
to juz nie ten Ramon co kiedyś...ale i tak prezentuje wysoki poziom
Jammer om Ramon zo te zien.. Was wel een mooie powerpunch toch.
En waar is het einde van het gevecht??
where's a full vid?? who won??
where is the rest of the fight
This must have been a very old Ramon Dekkers or an injured Dekkers... he was very slow and not aggressive at all in this fight! He was a much much much better fighter than this before!
Yea he is in good shape, but definately not as cut as he once was. Ramon in his prime would have took this guys head off, no contest.
OLd but still a warrior...a leggendary warrioR
good fight
After having read many comments I conclude Joeri is not getting nearly the respect he actually deserves.
ok guys. this was dekkers final fight and it was a lose. right after the fight he announced his retirement.
Echt wel
RAMON BEST FIGHTER EVER RAMOOOOOON
poor dekkers....his legs are all skinny now, he used to be really strong.
witch one is ramon?
ramon dekkers is de king of muay thai!! hij heeft de beste vechtstijl,,hij is hard en snel. en wie hem geen legende vind is een grote balhaar!!
yeahh your right, but you have to admitt Dekkers was and still is a legend for the
k1 but yeah he had hes best time
that's right,no doubt about it ;)
HE IS A LEGEND
But the age comes to everybod
ramon have had his best time but now he's to old but he is a great fighter
wow, I guess anything can happen in a fight ..
oh ok thank you !!
Who is the winner ?
What's happen with Ramon ??
Yes i know but you should know that is elbow is fucked up on his right so he couldnt trow hard punshes with his right.
He was the best but his age is catching in and his body cant take that much anymore.
still love see him fighting. Big respect !!!!!
looks like he has a pretty good reach advantage on ramon.
Ramon forever
Fu.k! What this guy who wanna challenge Ramon Dekkers thinking? He was face to face with master, with legend..
Ramon in zijn glory jaren had maar 1 ronde nodig gehad tegen die Joeri
ramon is way better than other guy .. hes just too tired and what i could see dekkers couldnt go on close fights other guy was too tall and he knew how to make it imbalance for dekkers .. btw everyone got bad days .. dekkers is the best no matter what
Its impossible not to lose a couple of times even if ur the best. PPL who pretend to have fought many fights and to have a perfect fighting record are either lying or its because they never fought vs the best.
dekkers is to old in this fight, you can tell he doesn't have the speed and the strength that he had back in the days, he was an animal!!
@cockneyredjack Well he was 1 year older then kimbo now is in this vid. But he allso had 200+ fights in his life and kimbo like 10...
im confused. Who won?????
and BTW dekkers have his left leg hurt .. he cant fight as he did in past because doctor said he cant fight with left leg so he adapted a new fighting syle .. he doesnt fight the same way he did because his hurt but he wants to keep fighting not because his old ..
yes dekkers is kinda too old to fight now these days...he had his best time years ago...no more agresion in him...samo with mirko cro cop.anyway I love them both

Ramon heeft zijn tijd gehad man.
dekkers es una leyenda
Ramon Dekkers fight in too heave weight division, that is why he lost his advantage in power of punching.
dekkers fights with one arm other is injured,and he is not old you fools he still fights much younger oponents and knocks them out
Dekkers looks old in this combat
dekkers changed
@criminalmindgames thanks man!!
I really don't know. I don't think he went into MMA, he's a bit old for that now
dekkers realy needs to stop fighting in his prime he was incredible he is too old now and his leg is fucked its a shame
i dont know what to laugh about? body is not machine and always kick in 100% he is still very dangerous.
it sucks u cant clinch in muay tahi
but its still awsome
Il est mort jeune, il faisait du mma et avait pris du poids.
dekkers no estaba en forma para competir desde mi punto de vista y estaba lecionado de las 2 piernas y el hombro derecho y aun asi desde mi punto de vista es mucho mejor que joeri mes dekkers era el mejor del mundo en sus tiempos de juventud va osea cuando peleaba en thailandia donde estan los mas duros del mundo y es algo indiscutible tengan en cuenta dekkers peleo con los mejores de thailandia y nunca perdio por ko incluso el gano por ko muchas peleas en thailandia the best dekkers

does an old Dekker look like Bruce willis?
wow.. 2,345,763 left hooks in a row. maybe need more springy foot work
Dekkers doesn't with his right Hand!
Ramon is old... he would kick Joeri's ass if he was his age
dutch thai boxing is best. the boxing in traditional mt is terrible these guys are hitting nice bodyshots and mixing the kicks in perfectly
@RUSTYASMITH

ramon is a legendary fighter.. But for this fight he is to old and out of shape.
funny as fuck
He is fighting with one hand...............
Rechter midden hands beentje gescheurd

idk, thats what i want to know...
@roybacker14 ow :d da is met het snel zijn :)
he looks so slow . should retire gracefully- but its too much fun in the ring!
Mja dekkers te oud, weet het niet duane ludwig kan hij dan wel weer af (met gescheurde ligamenten zelfs). Tegen joeri mes moet hij het dan weer afleggen. Dekkers vecht duidelijk niet op 100% (zoals ik de laatste tijd wel vaker zie) Joeri lijkt zenuwachtig en vecht ook niet op zen best volgens mij.
