Roufus vs Le Banner Was Real Life Mortal Kombat - K1 Bout 4 Explained

Спорт

Rick Roufus was an American style kickboxer with championship belts from several organizations. After losing a fight to a much smaller Tai fighter years earlier due to his unfamiliarity with leg kicks, Roufus had incorporated Muay Thai techniques into his boxing heavy style with some incredible results.
Jerome LeBanner had been in K1 for 2 years, and had already defeated such greats as Mike Bernardo and Ernesto Hoost. Although he had a Kyokushin Karate background, he was inspired by Bruce Lee’s JKD to fight with his dominate hand forward, in southpaw. This resulted in a straight, powerful jab that helped him set up his tremendous power shots.
It was anyone's guess how these two unique styles would play out when pitted against each other.

    If rick wasn't American and was Dutch he would have developed that dutch kickboxing style instead as a younger guy he didn't train leg kicks.. his legs weren't conditioned he hadn't spent years like the thai boxers or dutch hardening the shins from when they were young he was doing the above the waste pants on American kickboxing the little thai boxer showed him how important leg kicks are but if your fighting against guys that have trained leg kicks since they were young boys.. you have no chance

If Rick had been born a little later and had trained Thai boxing form the start I believe he would have done much better in K-1. However, he did have the flashy style from being a TKD student as a kid and then getting some great hands form traini g western boxing.

Also Le Banner and him are 3-2. I just point that out because your comment may sound like Ernesto bested him by a big margin by people not knowing the history. Still, Hoost is a legend, and has more titles

    @@TheKickboxingCommunity in that particular fight, sure. But what I wanted to point was that, at heavyweight this is not insane difference (even at 225). At this weight class in particular you have to be at the perfect weight for your style, not losing to much power on one side, not losing to much speed on the other side. It's not rare to see heavyweight champions in boxing, MMA, kickboxing etc. Between 225 and 240, in a category where they can be much more, so it does not seem like a real disavantage. I mean it can be, but not necessarily.

Rick as a warrior, I mean, JUST THIS; just the fact that he gave a fight to a fucking Jerome LeBanner is a deed worth of conidering him a great of the sport. Thanks to Cikatić win of the first K1 probably, I found this sport at the very young age and became the fan. PS. If Im not mistaken the last K1 was that one when CroCop won? Yea, I know, it was what it was, a shaddow of real K1 tournaments, I wouldnt even consider that instalkement of the tournament as K1 , but it is what it is, the name was there. If thats right Croats won the first and the last K1 ever And we also had great Mladen Brestovac, a guy that had more lethal high kick than Mirko Filipović, and a guy that fought in kickboxing as a hobby, yet he came to the highest achievemts lol. The WHOLE time he worked full job and trained after the job, he asked a fuucking free day from the boss to go and fight infront of fifty thousands ppl lmao what a fucking legend he was God knows how far he would have gone if he done this professionally. And now we have another guy in Glory, Antonio Plazibat, For a nation of four millons we really had some great fighters, in kickboxing, MMA, boxing and all in between. Croatian power 💪💪💪

    My thought on the reasoning on why teep to the face is kinda seen as disrespectful... In Thailand the feet are considered the dirtiest part of the body, like pointing with your feet is considered rude. Where the head is considered 'holy' and something like a pat on the head is rude. So imagine the disrespect meant for teeping someones face XD

    Awesome fight! American Kickboxing style weakness has always been low kick defense. It relies too much on circular ring movement (western boxing) and flashy kicks that expose the legs.

    Leg kicking is completely overrated, and leaves you worse off than if you didn't throw the kick 80percent of the time.

    I’m nowhere near their levels, but Roufus had to switch stances and avoid his right leg from getting anymore punishment. He just left it there and kept taking it.
