"in his next bout, Alexio faced Stan Longinidis under a similar rule-set in Australia and had his leg broken by a low kick from Longinidis. Although he recovered and went on to fight many more times afterwards, the loss virtually removed Alexio from contention as the world's best heavyweight kickboxer. Branko Cikatić, on the other hand, went on to win the first K-1 World Grand Prix in December 1993. By defeating Changpuek Kiatsongrit, Masaaki Satake and Ernesto Hoost in the same night, he went down in history as one of the sport's greatest fighters. "
@@dougstojimirovic6639 this referee was close friend to Alexio and Alexio manager... Alexio team told cikatic that it will be muai thai fight... and on the day of fight Alexio refuse to fight with knee, elbow and clinches...
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
Even do I am a really big fan of Dennis Alexio , props for Branko he will be remembered for his records K1 Champion , Thai boxing world champion & kickboxing world champion by WKA , PKA, IKF he will be remembered by old school kickboxing fans , finally God bless your soul Branko Rest In Peace .
I was sitting ringside during this fight. It was totally the lack of experience from the Referee. During the confusion he took off his referee shirt, so he would not be recognized and left the ring. Dennis thought he gave him the O.K. but he had his hand on Bronco's right arm the whole time then stepped out of the middle of the two fighters.
Alexio has no honor or integrity! The ref still had his hand on the right forearm of the other fighter. The ref could not say go while he still has a hand on a fighter. Even Alexio had no idea that the ref had said go and would not claim he was mislead by the ref when interviewed.
The ref was holding Cikatics' arm while Alexio was punching. That's a no contest. The ref did lose control here. Cikatic was better suited for K1 rules.
Jeff Rothenberger no watch it again the ref called the fight on and fucked up cuzz whatever his name didn't understand and wasn't ready and he got fuckn caked
PONTOS RODS did u see the fight ? if so watch it again Dennis stepped back to defend a kick and rolled his ankle Stan never landed a single blow Dennis broke his ankle and couldn't continue
first of all this Ref was NOT qualified enough to ref this fight meaning he had NO world title experience he was just a an old karate vet so he was clueless
@@ahoystreamermaki1558 this was international rules dumb dumb and think about this if Cikatic leg kicks who was a better low kicker than Longinidis had no effect on Alexio it just makes more sense that in the fight against Longinidis that it was a "fluke"
Zaslužio si sve!!!!! Najveći Hrvat i ambasador , bio si ponosan na svoj Barijak i zemlju državu Hrvatsku!!! Borac nad borcima , veliki čovjek i karakter . Počivaj u miru Božijevu
A real shame kickboxing didn’t pop off as they anticipated. I wish it would’ve. So many great fighters. And anytime their is a good kickboxer around everyone wants them to fight MMA. How about we just appreciate how great they are in their skill set?Shameful.
Thank you for the great blast from the past video! In round 3 the ref screwed up. And the corner of Cikatic was well prepped with Angelo Dundee's strategy. Lol
@@user-cv4on5lp6f You are an idiot; where did you see that the referee called the fight on? He clearly wanted to grab both men's gloves. And how your idiotic idol Alexio didn't understand the interference of the referee? Well, he clearly did, but not for you who can't even comprehend what kicking someone on the floor means ...
How come no one mentioned the fact that the ref was holding Branko's right wrist as Dennis hit him twice and then attempted to kick him in the head while on the ground. Dennis should have been disqualified. He might have beat Branko, but never this way. It was a total violation of kick boxing rules in the ring. As it turned out N/C was the call, but Dennis should have lost by disqualification. YOU CAN NOT HIT A FIGHTER WHILE THE REF IS HOLDING HIM!
Listen!!, this fight was unfair for Mr Cikatic!! Cikatic is a real Spartan pearl!! A unique fighter!! Great heart and technique, and style of fighting, in this manner Mr Alexio should have been immediately disqualified for this unpermitted punch!! This is a expression of powerless by Mr Alexio!! I see this as a score for Mr Cikatic!!
Branko fought like this against so many opponents ( he fought dirty) but that was an habit that he got fighting inside ex Yugoslavian borders where judges simply let him do whatever he wants, but once he got on the world stage he had so many controversial fights and dirty moves, and he never made an big name as he hoped to. Yes, he won first K1, but being the first K1 is also the reason why he won it, latter on that organisation became more serious and had better fighters.
@@mategradac199 He did, but that was the begining of Arnestos career. Back then he wasn't the monster he became latter. Would he beat prime Arnesto? I doubt it.
J'ai rencontre Branco Cikatic a Cean lors d'un championnat d'europe contre Ostolini prof de cean, c'est la que j'ai vu pour la première fois de ma vie un tres grand champion de boxe américaine a l'époque année 80
12:16 Alexio: "I kicked his ass". ..... Imo, this other guy kicked Alexio pretty well, until without any warning Alexio punched his face after a brake.
" The rules of the bout were disputed between both fighters right up to the day of the fight. Alexio, who had competed exclusively under American kickboxing rules, wanted both fighters to wear foot pads and low kicks to be illegal. Cikatić, a Muay Thai fighter, wanted low kicks as well as the Thai clinch to be allowed. In the end, low kicks were allowed and Alexio wore foot pads, and knees and the clinch were banned. The duration of the fight was set at eight, three-minute rounds"
@@mujotomi it’d been better if it was under K1 Rules, Muay Thai fighters still preform well in K1 (Superbon, Buakaw, Kiasongrit, Cikatic himself, etc).
@@Mike-xb7lh *"Mike replied: "Prirodoljub he coulda had no leg kicks at all stupid he just said it wasnt fair cause cikitic was more used to those rules dennis was winning the fight"* And which part of my message escaped your tiny brain? Can you even imagine how frustrating it is for a fighter if he has to watch his automated kicks all the time? You can't, you say? Then try to imagine how frustrating it is for you to start using your deficient brain.
RE: Cikatic; Commentator says he's undefeated 30-0, meanwhile stats graphic pops up says 34-1 and Wikipedia and it has him at 17-5-1 going into this match. Jesus, what a mess!
Katastrofalno suđenje i ponašanje Dennisa, vidi se jasno, i on je vidio -sudija drži Branka za desnu ruku, a Dennis ga dva puta udara, i još pokušava nogom dok ovaj pada. Nisko, nisko....za nekoga tko je kao jako dobar borac.
a prije borbe je denis tio bez low kickova, bez klinceva, koljena- po americkim kikboks pravilima .. mada se mora priznat da je bio odlican ode denis..
@@aleksandarkuruc8289 ode je nerijeseno proglaseno... izgubio je od don wilsona alexio i stan longitudiasa ( sto su stavili u no contest)... ima mislim 2 poraza i oko 85 pobjeda dennis.. samo, vec sam reko po full contact pravilima se vecinom borio... vidis da su ode zabranili kolina u klincevima( branko dobio kaznene poene a tako se uvik borilo na k1- kolina, laktovi)... najbolji borci 90-tih su isli na k1: cikatic, hoost, andy hug, stan the man, petar aerts... zlatno doba kick boxa.. dennis nije smio doc na k1
@@Mike-xb7lh stan broke his leg. That night it was 6 fight before main event. Only Alexio speak about hole in the ring?🤣🤣... He was good but only in full contact. He never come in k1 to fight the best: host, aerts, koman... not fight also Americans: Roufus and Smith? Who Alexio ever beat?
(Eric: .............So Watch and learn, It's all in the legs (Kurt: Legs?.... LEGS!!!??? This guy was kicking one of these with his fucking legs! And the plaster was falling down! (Eric: So what! Can he move like me?! No. We got em'!
For those who said alexio is a dirty fighter that aint true look at 19:48 it clearly shows that the ref said go and alexio just went he was ready at all times but the other dude wasnt so its the refs fault.
