awesome display of sportsmanship at the end. Hesdy told Rico he was a bit disappointed about Rico's foul-mouthing i believe, but then told him he respected him very much and considered him the best there is. Rico appologised and said he respects Hesdy a lot too.
Rico would've never been able to hang with the K1-fighters of 2003, 2004 etc. He was losing in his last fight against Hari. Imagine Rico against Hari in Hari's prime...would've gotten knocked out in the first round.
Twee 10-jarige meisjes kickboksen ook met elkaar. Een (met de groene helm) is een veelvoudig Wereldkampioen en trapt het andere meisje 5 keer tegen de grond. aan het einde tonen ze ook respeckt voor elkaar met een knuffel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t1RZRK6xQO4.html
Rico allready had a fight once in M.M.A. against his Russian 🇷🇺 opponent Viktor Bogutzki, Rico kicked him several times in the legs, than he took him to ground by grappling and he bet him on the ground very badly, he punched him several times on the ground.
Need better commentary, I sincerely hope glory would also release no commentary version fights just to let experienced viewer analyze themselves and able to hear the shots land.
Honestly I would love to see a boxing fight or sparring with Tyson fury against Rico verhoeven. Would be interesting to see Ricos boxing abilities considering the fact he trained with fury
Kickboxing is so much more professional and entertaining than boxing (at least American boxing). I wish there was more support for this sport in the US.
I agree. Boxing is cool and all but this is better and the fighters aren't big babies always getting in their emotions like I see in boxing and the press conference before the fights
I think the size of his legs and his arms give him a advantage over the ones in his own weight. Much more power to be released when you are that size, it's not like other fighters his weight have big muscle legs and arms like Rico to make them the weight they are
Good fight, great sportsmanship between these two rivals. That's what fighting sports is all about: you can have beef with someone but then you fight it out in the ring, one-on-one, and after that you shake hands and go on with your life. Also , I'm really curious what Rico and Gerges are saying to each other at 6:30.
18:08 Gerges: "I always thought you were a great dude, I have a lot of respect for you, I have a lot of respect for you. In terms of capacity, you are simply the best, man" Verhoeven: "Thanks man. The thing I said was more to get my opponent 'down', it was not (meant) as a dirty comment, so sorry for that ... you're standing here again dammit :) They hug it out. and Rico thanks his team.
I would say it's growing, 3 major promotions for kickboxing now.. in Asia its bigger than ever, now for Europe and North America that depends.. personally I can see some ufc fans liking them more because of the expensive ppv, and some of boring fights with wrestlers just pinning down, no ground and pound
@@mohammadnashitsiddiqui2168 sweet! I’ve been kind of out of the combat sports loop lately, what are the 3 major promotions your talking about? I know ONE has some really good kickboxing matches.
@@ZakH644 One Championship, Glory Kickboxing and Bellator Kickboxing.. I also like how one does Muay Thai and Kickboxing separately, weight classes and titles too
why is everybody talking about respect here? those guys are here to fight each other, they are not friends and they definitely don't like each other, so is everybody in this type of sport
You can say whatever you want about hesdy! He is absolutely not the best! But to step in the ring on such a short notice against Rico takes balls! He doesn’t walk away from fights like that
Gerges weighs 240, rico 265, both have different frames, body types, and genetics. Just because gerges legs are skinny dosent mean his kicks are not powerful
Hesdy knows he's gonna lose so he's chosen to lose by points rather than let Rico knock him out....Can't really blame the guy he's - totally outgunned!
Met de juiste training , en motivatie, zie ik rico best wel ver komen in de mma . Het zou best wel een vernieuwende adem kunnen brengen. 1 trap in je ribben en waar lig je dan commentator. Reem , badr , sadik , rico. Het lijkt simpel maar die eerste doet vele droppen. Beste gevecht van verhoeven is badr vs 2 , ik ben grote voorstaander van verhoeven , maar badr , je moet het hem geven, zonder zijn blessure was die kampioen.
