Hats off to Davit. He truly has the heart of a lion. People who have been in the ring know how difficult it is to make a come back to this extent. He was really battered, bruised and outclassed but his perseverance and grit saw him through.
I'm not going to lie, I felt like crying a little at the moment when Davit received the belt. This fight always reminds why the fight game is so beautiful.
I remember watching this live. I was so captured by the underdog comeback during the fight. I went from impartial in the first round to screaming at the tv by the fifth. And jumping for joy when he won. How happy Davit was when he got the belt has stuck with me to this day.
Round 5, Kiria did exactly what he should have done: go for broke. He knew he was gonna lose on points, and nothing less than a KO or TKO was gonna win him this fight, so he just took crazy chances and it paid off.
Glory is going to be up there with the UFC. Good strikers who have no ground game don't have to go to mma and hope they survive. Love this organization.
You guys from Glory World Series are AWESOME! Thank's A LOT for posting this fight on youtube without that greedy needs that the others fighting championships do! Kiria shows that he had the heart of a champion and deserves the belt, he shows what kickboxe is about: Heart. Nice to see a fight like that and I hope the next events could bring more fights like this one.
I got tears in my eyes not out of compassion for Andy or Davit because they both received good punishment from each other, but for the humility and respect demonstrated by both fighters.
This was the biggest turnaround I have ever seen, Davit Kiria was taking one hell of a beating until the end of the final round. Up until then Kiria had been knocked or tripped to the canvas numerous times by Ristie, was on the back move and unwilling to attack as Ristie bored in with kicks and blows to the head. A left knee to the chin knocked a dazed Kiria to the canvas. Then suddenly, late in the last round, out of the blue, the much taller Ristie was knocked down by a blow to the head. He got up with only forty seconds left. Kiria threw everything at him, and he went down again, dazed and unable to continue. The referee stopped the fight in Kiria's favor.
Ken W. Simpson I didn't feel it was dramatic or sudden; Kiria continually found a home for his left hook counter either over Ristie's right or directly down onto his arm and wearing down his shoulder in the later rounds. The beginning of the end came as a result of the left hook to start the first technical knockdown, as well as the second knockdown which came from a cross counter over Ristie's left followed by another left hook over the top. Ristie being the lankier fighter had much success with his combinations in the pocket, wherein Kiria stayed to have success landing his own shots. Kiria's conditioning must be phenomenal to weather all those body shots and still have the cardio to get off those high teeps and slip enough punches to land his counters. This fight was very surprising and will serve as a continuing source of inspiration to shorter fighters whose options really are limited to overhands and straights in the pocket.
great fight! Congrats Davit! looking forward to seeing more form these guys. Maybe Davit vs Petrosian. Also looking forward to seeing Van Roselman Come back.
Stop Shitting around and being arrogant Davit was manhandled the whole fight but he stood and didn't give up and knocked the champ out by the way he was a lot more tired in the fifth than Andy so haters keep hating, but Georgian character does not let you give up until you die.
you rigth but why get mad at ppl with different set of skills some pll are just a little slower and that can be hard thats why he is shitting around as you said,i saw eccatly the same as you and that was so clear that of course all other normal spectators saw the same to
Georgians are very hot tempered :))) i was mad when i was writing this cuz man, this guy gave all his soul in that fight and not respecting that is a little hard for me to get.
This was absolutely great fight. Respect to Andy as well, he is great fighter but I think he seemed too confidant in his victory in first couple rounds, that's why he lost all his energy in the begining. Davit showed that Georgian fighter spirit in this match, he took many kicks, but didn't give up. He deserved this victory and to be N1 in the world. Davit makes me and entire GEORGIA proud with this victory. Good luck to him!
This is why I live boxing or kickboxing period,anything can happen I've seen it time & time again,never doubt a hungry underdog with the heart of a lion.
Davit has an incredibly outstanding stamina!!!!! Oh my......after all these shots and knees and everything, he pulls his shit together and what he does at the end is simply awesome......Andy is awesome as well....
ristie is already 31?? I thought he was about 23 or 24 years old!!! he fights like a young fresh fighter!! his stamina is incredible!!! his kicks, punches and knees are so powerfull
This is what persistence does, what an amazing fight, Kiria fought straight up, i wish he'd close distance more often with the taller fighters whenever it needs to be done, respect for both fighters👍
Much respect for these guys. Does anyone else thinks the ref let the fifth round go on for too long? After the second knockdown of Ristie, Davit Kiria came in with a high mae geri, at that point it was clear that Ristie was not able to properly protect him self any longer.
I feel like these glory cards are far more consistent than MMA cards. I would definitely pay for that Istanbul card. Not sure if there ready for PPV, maybe there just building a fan base, but they have an amazing product.
I am a fan of Ristie Nice Fight. Check 36:38.....Kiria hit the elbow of Ristie.....Ristie knocked himself down. SO..now Ristie, Kiria, Petrosyan and van Roosmalen are at the top. Nice fights ahead.
WHO ELSE IS HERE? in anticipation for Davit’s fight in ONE against Tawanchai?! Davit is a big underdog, but like in this fight he pulled the “win out of the fire”!
It is Muay Thai but what people have to realize not all fighter's have the same style everyone has a little twist turn or trick they like to add to every technique. I'd say ristie has implemented Western Boxing Ashihara or Kyokushin with Muay Thai to make a style that is athletic and flowing..
One of the greatest comebacks in the history of combat sports.
Davit Kiria - the greatest comeback winner i've ever seen
Крассавчик Давид !!!ты Герой ты молодец !!! ты свершил чудо !!! Слава Грузии что выростила такого сына Героя Грузина !!!
Спасибо, брат! Слава России также .
Spasiba brat....
Никогда не нравился Ристи. Спасибо тебе Давит, наказал наглеца.
Hats off to Davit. He truly has the heart of a lion. People who have been in the ring know how difficult it is to make a come back to this extent. He was really battered, bruised and outclassed but his perseverance and grit saw him through.

+SUPERRUGBYFAN4LIFE Best combacks i have ever seen

+TKilla999 he planned that shit he let ristie use all that energy for 3 rounds and just went crazy on him ko
I remember watching this live. I was so captured by the underdog comeback during the fight. I went from impartial in the first round to screaming at the tv by the fifth. And jumping for joy when he won. How happy Davit was when he got the belt has stuck with me to this day.
Грузины наши братья. Привет из Армении! Отомстил за Геворга!

Грузин красавчик!!!! Я думал проиграет, но в 5 раунде я аж с места подскочил!!!!
Round 5, Kiria did exactly what he should have done: go for broke. He knew he was gonna lose on points, and nothing less than a KO or TKO was gonna win him this fight, so he just took crazy chances and it paid off.
This was one of the best fights I've seen in a long time! Was worth paying to watch the event just to see this live
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO IN HIGH QUALITY !!!!
Being the "best" doesn't mean you can't suffer loses, It's a part of becoming even better.
It truly was a gift to watch this fight live all those years ago. I remember entire Arena Zagreb erupting when Davit won. Amazing fight.
One of the best come back off all time. Congratulation to him. Glory you need to bring him back and let Davit fight in Glory again.
Grate warrior from Republic Of Georgia! Good luck Kiria!
Kiria is one of the bravest fighters I've seen in any sport!
Посчастливилось смотреть этот бой в прямом эфире. Просто на громадном характере вытащил почти проигранный бой.
Kiria is a true hero. One of the best fights ever! Respect for both fighters.
Bravo Davit! Real georgian Man!!!

Kiria is tough, and to beat him through decision is smart. To try to beat him by knock out is brave.
Awesome fight throughout, ko was cherry on top
David is smart and energetic athlete does not lose the ability to fight honorably won
Вот это сила воли , вот что такое грузинский дух , Давид побил противника который сильнее его , а это героизм
Much respect for these guys. Does anyone else thinks the ref let the fifth round go on for too long? After the second knockdown of Ristie, Davit Kiria came in with a high mae geri, at that point it was clear that Ristie was not able to properly protect him self any longer.
georgian pepole is so amazing and strong pepole
დავით ნამდვილი მებრძოლი ხარ, შენნაირი გვიხარებს გულს ქართველობას. ეგრე ჯიგრით იარე.
fight starts @14:20
Красавчик брат Давид
Fantastic fight!!! Upset down!! Till the last punch fight is not finisted!!!
I feel like these glory cards are far more consistent than MMA cards. I would definitely pay for that Istanbul card. Not sure if there ready for PPV, maybe there just building a fan base, but they have an amazing product.
Kickboxing legendary fight!!!
Красавчик💪поздравляю брат
I am a fan of Ristie
Nice Fight.
Check 36:38.....Kiria hit the elbow of Ristie.....Ristie knocked himself down.
SO..now Ristie, Kiria, Petrosyan and van Roosmalen are at the top.
Nice fights ahead.
WHO ELSE IS HERE? in anticipation for Davit’s fight in ONE against Tawanchai?! Davit is a big underdog, but like in this fight he pulled the “win out of the fire”!
EXCELENTE EJEMPLO DE PERSEVERANCIA Y FE...FELICITACIONES DAVID KIRIA. CONGRATULATIONS
Does anybody know whats the name of the song between 1st and 2nd round?
great fight!!!
could any one tell me what style does andy ristie follow cuz it aint muay thai i know , the way he switches stance , landing kicks and stuff .
please
No one else fights like Ristie. It's the style he's developed over his long career. Uses his reach very well.
thanks body god bless ya
It is called Andy Restie style.
It is Muay Thai but what people have to realize not all fighter's have the same style everyone has a little twist turn or trick they like to add to every technique. I'd say ristie has implemented Western Boxing Ashihara or Kyokushin with Muay Thai to make a style that is athletic and flowing..
Runnin My Own Ting Top Shottas I think Andy is self-taught...that's why he fights funny.....he throws an hook that looks like an uppercut.
ghame mshvidobisa ristie
GOOD FIGHT
DAVIT KIRIA IS THE BEST
