Ever seen a small man walk down a big man? Remember when I said some of the best Muay Thai fighters are giant killers? Here’s another example: an out of prime 3 weight division Muay Thai champion, Nokweed Davy, taking on the young kickboxing legend in Jerome Le Banner. The weight difference was up to 70-80 pounds. Nokweed Davy was regarded as one of the hardest kickers in Muay Thai history. They faced off in the prestigious K-1 World grand Prix tournament in the opening rounds. Western fighters typically emphasize on movement, where as Thailand typically focuses on structure and balance. By standing strong, you can absorb and deliver more force. Western fighters focus on longer combinations, where as Muay Thai fighters focus on delivering the best 1-3 shots. These philosophies were put to the test. Muay Thai fighters have a tremendous ability to slow down the pacing of the bout - to control the timing, rhythm, and distance. Once on the inside, they also have the clinch, which is essentially upper body wrestling with strikes. It is integral to the art. Many spectators felt that if the fight went on longer, Nokweed would have won the fight. The Japanese crowd cheered for Nokweed any time he landed a strike. Jerome Le Banner would go on to be the finalist of this 1995 tournament, losing to the legend Peter Aerts. The Davy family holds a special place in my heart. They come from a family of 4 brothers, all of them famous champions in the golden era. Two have passed away due to heart attack, including Nokweed Davy. They bring a unique skill set: Taekwondo when kids, boxing experience along with world class golden era Muay Thai. These pieces in history are what I wish more people knew about and recognized. Most people who walked into a Muay Thai gym never end up recognizing who the Davys are. They are one of the baddest warrior families of all time. P.s. I know this is "sort of a remake" but I feel like I didn't share enough of Nokweed and JLB fighting the first time, and wanted to story tell it properly. **For this video, I tried a new format where my friend Michael Tai did a voice over.

If he's aggressive, be defensive and "collect data“ be patient, look for his habits and find a way to open him up, don't get into shell mode if it's not necessary, parries, slips and footwork should be your first defense zone while blocking should be the last one. try to stay away from his reach and make him pay for following you. When you get in, don't waste your chance try to land at least one blow and then quickly get out, you don't want to brawl with him only if you're stronger or if he's tired or if you're more experienced, get out quickly, use your legs, don't get cornered because that may be game over for you.

How to Fight a Giant: Have more than 10x the number of fights/experience as the bigger man. At the time of this fight, Le Banner had a total of 10 kickboxing fights, 6 boxing matches, and a handful of pro wrestling experiences. Nokweed had somewhere between 200 and 300 at that time. This is kinda the same thing as Helio Gracie rolling with big, strong blue belts. Assuming everything was equal, sure the bigger guy should win. But there's an experience gap that more than makes up for the size discrepancy.

@@jackhope10 of course he's fit to fight. Le Banner had obviously trained for years before this bout. It's just not the same thing as having trained since you were a small child and having over 200 fights worth of experience to back it up. In that light, I find it honestly impressive that Le Banner won the bout. Nokweed was a highly skilled Nak Muay who was known for his devastating kicking power. In the later rounds of this match you can see by Le Banner's reactions how much they affected him. All I'm saying is, when you have 10-20x more fight experience than your opponent, it helps offset a size and weight disadvantage. Anyone else who was Nokweed's size but had Le Banner's experience would have been leveled.

The Kush Connoisseur he literally made it to the finals of that tournaments. He wasn't just some scrub or even normal person, Jerome was highly skilled even at said time. Stop downplaying what Nokweed did, a 100 pound weight difference is huge. You can be a meh fighter, which at the time Jerome wasn't he was a pretty good fighter, and still knockout great fighters simply because of size, size does matter in fighting, no matter what anyone says.

How does one watch the fight live and not give a standing ovation to the outsized, out steroided, but not out hearted fighter is beyond me.

Jerome is a LEGEND in kickboxing. In some fights he would throw 10-punch combos where 9 connected. His blending of high kicks-punches and low kicks were as artistic as it gets.

This was only LeBanner's 11th kickboxing match at the time, in a career that eventually spanned over 100 fights. And at the time, Nokweed had between 200 and 300 fights to his credit. So not only was LeBanner's skills still developing, but he was also fighting a real master of the sport. In that light, it's actually impressive that LeBanner won.

Hi Lawrence I was wondering what soundtrack you use for you intro? Its on almost all your videos

I think one of the reasons that Jerome was getting walked down is due to his stance. He fights in a southpaw stance which leaves his stomach more open to Nokweed's right kick(likely his power leg). Also it seems a lot more difficult to catch a right kick in a southpaw stance. When Jerome got kicked in the legs he would have thought 'OK that hurt, I don't want my open stomach taking that kind of kick' and so relied more on his southpaw jab and lead roundhouse.

Hey man, good to see you developing your content and testing new ideas and production methods! Loving the idea of voiceover and the content of what you were saying was great. If you don't mind, I'd like to give you (by no means professional) advice: The voiceover sounds somehow distorted. Maybe it is the recording device, or maybe something that happens in editing? It sounds kind of like you are speaking in a small room with echo. Also at some points it sounds like the voice is edited to be deeper (there probably is an actual industry term for this which I don't know), which is not necessarily a bad thing, but with the echo it sounds a bit out of place.

Santos at the end is incredibly technical. His legs are like arms in terms of control

This is a helpful video. Also i have some experience in the matter of fighting giants. i am not a small man myself though, average, so that helps; I am 6'0 even and 192lbs right now. I train Muay Thai. My primary sparring partner(for the most part) is a guy that's 6'8 and 260lbs yet he's completely lean. He has also been training well over a year and half now; that said I walk him down of course, I have been training far longer and take it more seriously, though he is no slouch and I respect him(and hes a great guy too). Anyway I have found that, for ME anyway, the best strategy to defeat an opponent with such a MASSIVE size advantage over you is to have a full high guard(like nokweed), however, to develop and then maintain a high enough level of boxing ability to both maintain solid defense against all head shots and all the body shots you can catch(and the leg kicks you can check; though its usually me delivering them due to his size when Im in close, or at medium range, but he gets me at long range), while also at the same time getting inside the pocket/hook range, and start throwing hooks(IMMEDIATELY returning the fist to your guard whether or not it connects on your opponent, so your own guard is not compromised for long, ever); and hammering leg kicks when he steps out to try and escape the pocket to jab/cross range where he holds the advantage due to his height and reach(over all of us, me and all my other sparring partners too; I spar guys my own size of course, from 5'10 to 6'2 is the average height in there). Defense, patience, CONFIDENCE, lack of fear, and technique are what you can do to get an advantage over fighters with a STAGGERING size advantge over you, like the 6'8 dude I mentioned. It also helps that Ive been training Muay Thai for close to three years now. And BJJ I started out in, I did that for 1 year 1 month before beginning Muay Thai and devoting all my time to it for hobbies. I could have used this video awhile ago to be honest lol, like, a year ago when i was first figuring out the best strategy for me to overcome this kind of size/reach disadvantage which Ive never faced before since Im not a small man. But I am CERTAIN it will help many others who are at that point I was a year ago. Great video!

@mystyle43

4 жыл бұрын

You might wanna go to the same side and the same spots again and again as long as it is still effective, especially with low kicks. The low-mid section on left side of the giant seems to be visible throughout the match. Plus, the giant seems to gradually lose strength in his legs getting hit with low-middle kicks all the time. Rick Roufus has been wiped out by the similar strategy. Some attacks are predictable and still yet undefendable. If the same attack becomes dull and gets blocked then it is time to revise the strategy or putting more variations in the sleeve. However, Kickboxing limits a lot of Muay Thai varieties crucial for infight which are effective against big guys.

Very Impressive!

@@LawrenceKenshin Thank you for the comment that this video was helpful for me or thank you for all the future videos you could make, analysing my knockouts of countless featherweight and lightweight fighters, lol?

Guys,Nokveed was very good(6:15),and he should have won,but remember a legend named:Apidej Sit Hirun(Thailand,351fights,340 wins,10 lost,1draw).Apidej had the hardest kicks on the world,was able to break his opponent's shoulder with one kick!Wasn't it rare.

Este pequeño luchador es un gigante !

If u never fight a big guy who 30kgs heavier than u , u will never know how strong their weapon. Great fighr Nokweed u r the winner.

How its like to play darksouls

Some of the best fights ever is Lebanner vs Hunt and they met 3 times!

Impressive there
