JWP still has some great durabilty, but dude has nothing to prove anymore and this was a mismatch....wanna see JWP retire happily now, but im afraid his hunger wont fade, its what made him a legend in the first place.
Damn JWP at 44 still tough as nails, the speed isn't there anymore, the mobility isn't there anymore, but his toughness sure the fuck ain't gone one bit. Gotta love Parr.
@@freebee8221 Yes JWP was a top fighter, guess he still needs these paychecks. Hope he doesn’t take to much damage. Legend for sure. These losses can never take that away. And Nieky seems like he’s in his second youth as well. Another legend.
It's not much of an accomplishment to beat a man past his prime, recovering from surgery. That's the bare minimum I would expect from a competent fighter.
Yeah. No one sane thought JWP would win this (barring a lucky shot, which can't be discounted) It was obvious the moment the fight started. But man he made holzken work for it. He's going to be feeling this fight for a while. This fight should have happened 5 years ago.
I was wondering what happened to he's kicks they look so different and so much weaker than what they were ten years ago, first i thougt it was just because he's older not, but The hip surgery is probably the reason or most of it
No he didn't he looked horrible not even a shim of what he used to be .. His speed everything is gone it seems .. Never should have taken the fight against holzken ... Nothing but respect for jwp but he should have said no
When I herd that JWP came out of retirement and took up that fight, I just hoped that he won't get hurt in that fight. He is a legend in his own right with nothing left to prove. But he went up against a fighter that was still active and a fair bit younger. Expected result.
@@darrenmahoney8106 yep I agree I didn’t expect him to fight at this level ! 44 and went through a heavy surgery. What a legend. I was mad with the match up because there is no point fighting Nicky at 44 ... But I can’t deny I really enjoyed watching John fighting . Impressive
John Wayne is old asf and his fighting career is over! He’s had an amazing career and I’ve been lucky to whiteness his success over the years! Why does fighting organisations match old cunce against younger people tho??
“With timing like that Nieky Holzkon shouldn’t be Dutch he should be Swiss” - that ladies and gents is classic Schiavello commentary. It’s what I came to hear.
I'm blessed to still see JWP getting after it, first saw him 12 years ago on The Contender what an absolute champion, as a fellow Queenslander I salute you brother! Thanks @ONE Championship for making this happen!
jwp putting in high out put work is now just a step behind. Tough as they come but this kinda hurt to watch. Both men are legends and am glad this fight was put together though.
JWP is amazing but Nieky is one of the few Kickboxers who crosses to fight with Muay Thai rules and wins! Awesome as always, Holzken! Respect to both warriors!
Can't really compare as JWP is way past his prime. This was a mismatch from the start and nobody expected JWP to win (although we may have wanted him to).
You can see the difference just purely off the back of how JWP was moving and throwing. Time waits for no man, hard to watch but my respect for him continues to rise.
nah.. that's like saying Rembrandt should try architecture. Or the brothers wright to build a train lol. I get the thought though but to completely relearn a totally different sport when you are this accomplished in another.. Hes not 25 anymore. If he was 25 I'd say yeah. Go mma. It's the biggest sport of this era.
I would have loved to see how Nieky would stack up against the top Welterweight strikers in the UFC. Imagine him vs. Masvidal or Luque in 4oz gloves. With some takedown defence he could have been a problem simply because his striking is on another level.
a bit, but he got rocked several times in a row. if they let him continue he'd be right back out within 20 seconds, possibly a heavy KO which would not be good for him.
I seriously dont get the point of this match. Parr is a great fighter but even at his peak has never been at Holzken level yet he wanted to fight him at 44 years old? People around Parr had nothing to say about this match? seriously? If Holzken wanted he would have really hurt him.
Alles wat Nieky deed klopte, technische combo's uit het boekje. En heerlijk om te zien wat een respect naar de tegenstander. Kunnen veel atleten van leren
Great format. Want to see the top MMA strikers dabble in this - they’re used to the small gloves and might exploit some of the habits to turtle up by kickboxers to make for fun fights.
@@arnoldkwenda4678I agree Imo Petrosyan's style is more dynamic, he has better head movement and distance control. But Nicky's boxing is definitely top tier among kickboxers , precise and clean.
Tough call to ref, but every indication was that Nieky was just gonna get more and more comfortable and build up the damage. John is made of iron and wasn't gonna quit. Could have been a real long, real ugly couple minutes.
What's NEXT for these legends?
JWP still has some great durabilty, but dude has nothing to prove anymore and this was a mismatch....wanna see JWP retire happily now, but im afraid his hunger wont fade, its what made him a legend in the first place.

he is still fast for avarage dude

@@danger_design agree, not much of a challenge for Nieky. Punchers chance still a factor though, and JWP asked for the fight.
I never seen him this good before last time I saw him i didnt watch it to the end because it was too boring
@@danger_design He wanted Nieky right? At that level nothing is sure. He wanted Thai rules Nieky the small gloves. 🥊🇳🇱

Nice.
Tough like a truck-stop sirloin
Said something similar about Haggerty
@Mitchell llehctiM guess you didn't get the joke
dude says it atleast once per event, it's gets old real quick
John Wayne Parr is so tough he would've keep getting up
Yeah even after that deadly roundhouse he was dropped and a split second later said, “I’m ok I’m ok”. What a tank.
Yeah, good stop by the ref. JWP is too tough for his own good. The guy is a beast.
Facts. You could see he didn’t want the fight to stop. But he graciously accepted the stoppage. Legend.
When JWP was younger it might have been a different result
Damn you're indeed right but healthy come first so the ref was right to stop it.
respect voor beide vechters. deze is voor Ramon. Nieky, je hebt ons trots gemaakt
Much respect to both fighters, we love the legendary JWP!
Ramon Dekkers mentioned there. Master of kickboxing and a leader of showing Muay Thai to the world. Can’t be skipped RIP Ramon Dekkers
He would eat them both

For a guy who just went through hip surgery JWP looks phenomenal not to mention his age.
@Cody Trewin I believe he came out of retirement, or postponed it, to take this fight.
Yeah. No one sane thought JWP would win this (barring a lucky shot, which can't be discounted)

Yes thats true. BUT he fight on muay thay rules,and Holzken is a.kickbokser. And with all respect,Holzken was much better.
Holzken is a joy to watch, always so methodical

Man... impossible to root for just one of them. Two kings
Never seen Holzken that sharp!! And I already think of him as one of the best living kickboxers!
He’s definitely top ten
Consider this is Nicky fighting WITH respect for his opponent...
More than likely. Respect for JWP and still enough aggression to secure a victory.
Yeah young jwp would've been a great fight though

JWP in his prime would have been a close match. Still a Legend but father time has caught up to the body but not the spirit
Holzken, I absolutely love his style. So clean and sharp.
“With timing like that, Nikki shouldn’t be dutch, he should be Swiss”😂😂😂 The commentary is GOLD!!
Dammm, Muay Thai fights with small gloves is absolutly funny to watch!
As funny as mma
That spinning hook kick was a thing of beauty.
JWP looked so sharp too just shows how good Holzken is, such high level guys.
