RIP Andy Hug: Master of the Axe Kick.

Seeing Andy Hug makes me happy and sad at the same time. RIP blue eyed Samurai.

It's kinda just dawned on me how long you've been teaching and entertaining me. I really appreciate your hard work, thanks.

These guys are both absolute beasts. Nothing but respect for them

K1 was something different, much like this channel. Kickboxing is so amazing, this series has been appreciated more than you can know David. OSU!

Great fight. Legendary fighters. RIP Andy.

I even got popcorn for this, nice.

this series is by far my favorite on the channel. 90s K1 was the pinnacle of heavyweight striking and the editing and narrating is 10/10

Clash of different fighting styles , one of the best k1 fights . Thanks for th video🙏

Hoost reference of heavy savate.

the axe kick and the spinning back punch were landed flush on hoost. so beautiful. hoost's interception of hug's jumping punch and his spinning back kick was done so masterfully that you can only ever see it in a video game, if the stunt men for video games can even execute it that perfectly. indeed, what a legendary tournament and a legendary finale !

Fantastic end to the series, thank you so much for these videos K-1 truly was the best era for fighting there ever will be. R.I.P. Andy Hug. OSS!!!

What a great final bout, the best kickboxer perhaps to ever live won, and the fight didn't disappoint This was an awesome series, looking forward to the next ones!

im not a kickboxing fan particularly, but ever since i saw ernesto hoost i've always enjoyed his fights, his kicks were truly ridiculous and he was a great fighter. speaking of great fighters are we gonna get a breakdown of fury vs usyk? i don't think im alone in saying that was one of the greatest fights we've seen in a long time

Babe wake up, the modern martial artist posted

Amazing way to end the real Tournament of Power

Hoost's punches don't look like they're super fast, but I bet each of them is like a 100 lb dumbbell swinging at you. Ridic that Andy could take even one of those, much less multiple. True warriors, the both of them.

That was an awesome review of that series. Great fights. What tough men. Thank you!

Epic fight you're commentary was spot on

Hey man. I just want to say thank you for bringing attention to the old K1 fights. It brings me back to my childhood and brings new eyes to some very deserving legends.

Thanks for the amazing video ❤

Been waiting for this ❤

All Hug needed at the end was mixing up the 10 piece punches to the head with body shots. Make Hoost start to guess, these old school fights are brutal but the boxing they employ isnt as good as the kicks. Dont get me wrong i couldnt handle these guys but it seems like the kicking creativity is greater focus than boxing fundamentals like hit them low to hit them high unless they are kicking.

Some of them did specialize more in punching but you're right, they weren't as well rounded back then. But the different styles is part of what made it so electrifying to watch!

Andy Hug! The guy who introduced me to K1. Please make a video about Peter Aerts too. Their rivalry was my favorite because Aerts was the first guy I watched that knocked Hug out. Since then, I always viewed him as the villain to my hero Hug

Obviously this was a real life anime fight. But as a GRAND PRIX Final! This is one of the greatest fights ever televised. Both going the distance, neither one of those men did anything for a week or so. They were both physically disabled after the fight. We have no idea what these fighters endured. Insane

I would really love to see a breakdown from you on boxing techniques (and kickboxing) in modern MMA!!

Missed you buddy, where ya been

Hug employs really epic techniques all the time, spinning backfist, spinkick and so on. Both fighters are legends in their own right and as a Dutchman I love Hoost, but I would give this fight to Hug.

I remember how in 99 me and my friends discovered K1 after playing on PS1, fighting illusion, a game that was released only in Japan in Japanese and none of us knew Japanese so the choice of options was like roulette and such a strange coincidence that the first character I played was Andy, I immediately fell in love with him and K1 in general, since then we watched K1 every Friday on Eurosport

Wir haben Roger Federer, wir hatten Alinghi aber das beste was der Schweizer Sport hervorgebracht hat (oder besser ein Schweizer selbst geschaffen hat im Sport) war und wird wohl immer Andy sein.

Welcome to Holland, here have this bouquet of tulips and a roundhouse kick to the leg lol

How was Hug able to take those leg kicks flush and walk through it all, his legs must be super strong. Plus Hug getting punched hit mid-air as he jumped towards Hoost, and shrug it off. Both fighters took plenty of punishment but battled through. Tough as they come.

Love Ernesto!

K1 was the ultimate. As an Aussie, it was always Stan the Man and Sam Greco for me.

Hoost Tornado, I wonder if there's ever someone try to do this in the UFC?

I love your analysis but here is a pro tip from a Dutch guy. To pronounce the name Hoost. Say Hose (like the flexible pipe you can force water through) and ad a T.

Andy Hug, the guy that inspired Blood Sport?

Can you explain the undisputed fight next?

Is this a reupload? Seems familiar

Can you please do a video on Dennis Alexio!!!

There is only ONE Blue Eyed Samurai, ok Netflix?

I love Ernesto hoost but both faced great legends

Hugo Never K.O.'d Anyone With The Axe Kick.

"Hoost" in Dutch, is pronounced like the English word "host". (your pronunciation sounds like the Dutch word for "cough" XD )

​​​@@TheModernMartialArtistNot misremembering much. Kinda. Hoost got dropped once right before the fight, ending flurry, but it didn't necessarily seem that Hoost was completely out of it.

What, exactly, is the point of describing each second by second fight sequence as it is actually occurring, do you have some kind of formless group of blind spectators in your head, that need the fighting explained to them......? It's like coming across someone standing in a hole in the ground, and they tell you that there is a hole in the ground..... and they're standing in it.....
