The Tyson of Kickboxing - Technique Breakdown

Ramon Dekkers was a legend in his own time. Dekkers dominated opponent’s with his non stop pressure and powerful combinations, earning multiple championship titles in kickboxing and muay thai. Dekkers achievements in Muay Thai were unheard for a westerner at the time, and greatly helped to popularize the style throughout the world.
With his powerful head and body hooks, tilting head movement and relentless aggression, Dekkers was like the Mike Tyson of kickboxing.
Only Tyson’s opponent’s never had to worry about him following up his punches with roundhouse kicks.
Like any good pressure fighter, Dekkers excelled at closing the distance.

As always, your appreciation of combat fundamentals is miraculously instructive and enlightening. It's my opinion that MMA isn't yet a "sweet science", with the rare exception of a handful of high-IQ fighters and coaches, because of the dearth of this type of analysis and incorporation. Being that it's actually in its infancy, there are naturally no people like Cus D'Amato, with a half century of experience, in modern full-contact MMA. Two or three decades maybe, but not five.

Nieky Holzken's style is more like a Dutch Buakaw than Dekkers though. He's just in your face the whole fight slipping attacks or rolling with them and firing a counter. Dekkers is in your face too but it's not a constant and consistent pressure like Nieky. Dekkers picks you apart until he finds a rhythm and then makes it rain on you. Nieky is way more measured. Did a beautiful job on Kosmo Alexander picking his shots to get the KO. That's my favorite win of his. Dekkers wouldve poured on more aggression and worked different angles a little more.

The fact he fought internationally (mainly Thailand) brought him many challenges. One being, the judges. They were prejudiced against this fighter from Holland. The Thai's wanted Thais to win.

We haven't forgotten.

I would have never thought to look at Ramon Dekkers' defense if it weren't for videos like this. It's not the first thing that comes to mind when you look at a highlight reel, but to me it's now actually one of the most interesting things about him. He does a lot of things I've been thinking about, wondering how they would work (especially for boxing) and it's great to see them broken down and in action. That's why I keep coming back to this channel and rewatching videos, and what makes these videos more exciting and interesting to me than any KO highlight compilations. I wish I could buy your books where I am and hope your channel will continue to grow.

Dekker was tough as nails. In his later years they had to fuse his right shin to his foot due to years of accumulated damage to avoid amputation and he was told to stop fighting. His response was to switch more to southpaw and kick more with his left leg..... and he still kicked with his right leg. He also tore a bicep before his fight against Duane Ludwig and fought anyway and won.
