I don`t think he is underrated. Kickboxing by itself is an underrated sport due to the popularity of MMA. But most kickboxing fans considered Kaman to be the greatest striker in history.
Kaman and Ernesto were probably the best low kick fighters of their time it’s crazy they’ve shared a ring with each other 2 times, both well respected legends of their era.
When it comes to kickboxing, this fight is a masterpiece. What a display of skill, endurance and strenght. It could go either way, I guess thats kind of obvious. But Kaman clinch and footwork gave him a super advantage when he was in trouble. He was a true genious, and I am a big fan of Hoost.
I guess I saw it the other way with Hoost landing good knees in the clinch while Rob did throw him down three times I believe it was. Rob had harder kicks but it seemed his head was also getting snapped back with regularity. Either way it was a great fight with an obvious finish.
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Watch Hoost and Kaman go at it. I only recently got into following Muay Thai and kickboxing. The culture, art and history of the sport are unimaginable. Kings of the sport from all corners of the globe.
I was there. Jaap Ede Hal in Amsterdam. Everybody thought Ernesto was going to win. Not so. Kaman and Dekkers paved the way for all that came after them.
Rob's resilience in this match was otherworldly. I count two times where Hoost tried to connect with kicks only for Rob to just tank right through him and Hoost was the one thrown off balance. 1:39 if you pay close attention you'll hear that sickening slap of Hoost's shin knocking against Rob's guard and the block itself was enough. Hoost started falling before Rob even lashed back with his own kick. I know Rob was hurting but somehow he just got through it.
I was fortunate to be there. Rob Kaman was already a legend. One of the greatest fighters of all time. Hoost became a legend later on. Both masters of "the Dutch school".
Kaman's positioning is almost super human. Even when he gets clipped, and seriously gets clipped, he manages to position in such a way to deflect the attack and re-take initiative almost instantly. Also his stamina is insane but this can also be said for Hoost. His superior positioning granted Kaman the knock out. Hoost landed some knees and an uppercut that by all accounts should have turned off the lights.
I dont think anyone considers fighting ambidextrously to be a small thing at all there's a reason people try to avoid southpaws especially early in there careers
Wow! What a fight! Hoost has an incredible chin to take so many clean shots from a guy like Kaman and stay competitive in the fight as long as he did. Amazing legends.
@@noahcarver6072 Facts. Hoost had to rely more on his boxing and he landed some really dangerous looking shots near the end. 13:15 But somehow Rob just kept fighting.
Quoi dire .. Fait partie des meilleur combat de l histoire,a retenir. Quand hoost le travaillé technique au corps,kaman était en difficulté et a l inverse quand kaman travaillé à mi-distance hoost derouillé. De l'intensité en permanence pas de déchet tout les coup sont importants .. Vraiment deux légende et là ils le prouve ✌️
Fascinating to see two such legendary low-kickers go at it in their prime. Kaman impressively neutralized Hoost's primary weapon and started timing his punches to counter, even though it seemed he was a bit more gassed. Hoost is one of my favorite fighters and I'm surprised to see his game get picked apart. This is like Genius fight-IQ versus Einstein.
man this is retro boxing unbelievable here I am sitting here watching in 2019 something from 1990 I had a child born in 1990 she's 28 today unbelievable this white guy was phenomenal and so was the African-American he was fabulous as well unbelievable toe-to-toe back and forth man the rules have changed so much over the years unbelievable a man thanks so much for sharing this with me
Me Me They are both from Holland. The black guy is called Ernesto Hoost and he is from Suriname’s decent. It’s a South American country that used to be part of the Dutch Empire.
Yea I mean they were both trading leg kicks particularly well since kaman is also a low kick legend. But ya it was a great back and forth of leg kicks.
@@LuCa8_ hoe plaats je een perfecte lage trap Rick Rufes tegen een THAI strijder heeft een paar maanden niet kunnen lopen 30 % gewicht verschil alleen lage trappen later tegen Rob Kaman geen lage trappen
A fight full of tecnic and class between two talented figthers of all times a clean strong fight 2 different types of tecnic how u can see the streng og hoost is uppper chest( arms ) kaman full kicks and power low kick insane .
One of the 2 best kickboxers all time , RIP Rob Kaman😢
Rob Kaman is probably THE most underrated and yet tremendous Champion EVER !!!
He's my idol when it comes to fighting sports !!!

True, indeed. Two legends of the sport. I am glad for the good soul who uploaded this.
Caio Novaes you know who Damien Trainor is he’s the one who uploaded this he’s a Muay Thai legend in the Uk.

👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome fight. Both forever legends.
Nog steeds een van de mooiste partijen ooit, 2 toppers van ongekend niveau.
The Dutch turn out such great kickboxers. It’s crazy the level of skill they have there.
Kickboxers and darts players
The Dutch & the Thais are humanity's kickboxing chosen ones. Additionally, us Dutchies are amongst the tallest people in the world lol
Kaman you mythical beast. He only appears once every 100 years, above the tallest rainbow!
Their pain threshold must be insane. Those leg kicks would cripple a normal person. Much fucking respect!

Mooie herrinering, ik was er ook bij kneiter stronken. Maar toen besefte ik niet hoe uniek dit was
Als kaman een echte heavy weight zou worden. Dan sloopt ie iedereen.
🤙💪👌
👏👏👏👏👏
Two of the best. Speed and power. Lighting strikes twice.
Hoost needs to teach the new guys how to check leg kicks, impressive display by both
13:15 Hoost connected cleanly but Rob stood still. Crazy!

A great fight by two absolute legends.
Wow. Ernesto was on sea legs for a while after. No controversy with that stoppage.
Its beautiful that they fought so well and were so respectful 🙏

Rob Kaman,had his training tapes... awesome fighter,, never never never give up.
I just noticed rob switch from south paw to orthodox,
Although it seems small
Fighters that can do this are very dangerous

Wow! What a fight! Hoost has an incredible chin to take so many clean shots from a guy like Kaman and stay competitive in the fight as long as he did. Amazing legends.
Not only that, but his legs were destroyed early on and he still put Kaman in danger even later in the right.

Hoost had an incredible chin? He got brutally sparked several times by Kaman, Cikatic, Filho, Le Banner and Sapp
One of my favorite fight of all time in all combat sport . 2 legends fight a classic .
That's one of the best fights I have ever seen!!!
Rip Rob Kaman
Quoi dire ..
