RIP LEGEND

Respect to both fighters, Remy is a classy gentleman. Akibono is a legend

One of the best high kick ko of all time

I remember watching this on eurosport remy was probably my favourite fighter In k1

Who is here because of Rampage?

Respekt to both fighters!! 💪🏻🙏🏻

Can you imagine carrying him out of the ring

This fight made me get into Muay Thai and Kickboxing. One of the most brutal knockouts in the history of combat sports. Akebono has already dropped dead. Remy Bonjasky is a living sports legend.

who's here after watching Rampage's story

Rampage interview brought me here

One of the best knockouts ever!!!

That kick knocked him into the middle of next week 😂

The thud when he fell was heard in the third tier in that dome! 😂🥊

Did any former Sumo champ ever transition successfully to another fighting system? It's just seem their body types are so specialized for that one push and shove thing.

Akebono is a walking heartattack 😬

Basically what you would expect, idk why they would have a sumo wrestler boxing anyway

3:08 Akebono : "C´mon hit me here, in my face " 9:12 Remy : " Okay, Mr. "

Hij gaat als een plumpudding en blijft netjes liggen 🎶

Well, resistance Made its job... Sumō wrestlers are trained to do strong flash attacks in matches that dont last More than 5 minutes. As you can see, this video shows a very unfair duel under terms that only helps kickboxer. Since minute one, you can see that referee is basically protecting kickboxer from massive attacks that sumō wrestler should be allowed to do. Under sumō rules, kickboxer does not have a chance.

I mean for real he did do pretty decent for his first time kickboxing. most people would’ve gotten slept their first time kickboxing against someone who is highly experienced. He was coming out strong in the first half and then remy got comfortable and started throwing shots to the head, it was a wrap. It was kind of fun to watch not gonna lie. A Pointless match up but fun. People do this all the time some guys from boxing going to MMA some guys from MMA going to boxing. It is what it is

当時は会場で観てました！ 衝撃のKOと藤原紀香の綺麗さに興奮しました。

The sumo man should be alowed to use his expertise: catching and throwing

9:12 I was not expecting that. He was eating them pretty good up till then. Thought it would probably go to a decision.

Great fight :)

Rampage Jackson brought me here

グローリーって過去のK1の試合映像のライセンスを持ってるのか、意外だ。

God bless you

Ciężki zawodnik, Ciężkie kopnięcie równa się ciężki upadek (nokaut)🏅

Japan loves to put sumo wrestlers in non-sumo situations, and it has never gone well. Sumo skills translate to fighting about as well as they do to trampoline safety. Coming into his fifth fight, Akebono had never won a kickboxing match or even demonstrated that he'd seen a kickboxing match, so it should be safe to put him against the kickboxing champion of the world, right? While I'm on the subject, Japan, have you ever made a decision when you're sober?For two rounds Remy Bonjasky punched and kicked Akebono as he helplessly shambled in a tiny circle. Chocolate rabbits have more natural defenses than Akebono. I didn't know if Remy was toying with him or waiting for the ice cream inside to melt just to see what would happen. It was so embarrassing that I think the Japanese subtitles tried to trick the audience into thinking they were watching a panther kill a bean bag. Then, in the third round, Remy landed a head kick. Akebono looked so dead that local restaurant owners panicked. To this day, it's the most violent thing ever done to butter. They say that if you watch this fight while you're cooking, your cream sauce will break. Thank you Seanbaby

9:12 bro it's like leon edwards vs kamaru usman 2

Wow that was great. Big respect to both guys

The big problem here is that when they get knocked out nobody can get em up on their feet or out of the ring. That's a lot of weight for an arse to land on, spinal damage is very real.

R.I.P. Akebono

Start of the video look like a old fighting movie

Rampage just talked about this on a podcast

RIP Akebono

Chad Rowan / Akebono should not have tried kickboxing at his weight. Maybe 75 lbs lighter he could have done something. I used to see him around Honolulu in early 1990s eating at buffet restaurants!

I don't understand why a yokozuna do something like that 🤔

The promoters should have a crane ready, just in case... like this.

now let's see Remy sumo wrestle him

Akebono should be grappling not kickboxing wtf LOL

I boxed with a guy who outsized me the way he outsized Remy.

Un grand yokozuna finir ainsi.....Un peu triste !

how bout another fight in Sumo's rule?

For a big bloke he has no punching power at all.

Ok 20 seconds in im wondering if the guy feels the kick goin into his mid section, thus is an honest question, also I can see the legs failing after lots of kicks, I haven't watched it all yet but I'd just like to say I honestly think the fight was over the second he was on the ground and was shoved over. Id love to see him get out from underneath a motivated big guy. FYI I'm not putting down either fighter at all. I weigh 20 stone. I was wondering about the kicks to the stomach because I recently fell down the stairs from looking at phone, fell over the banister from 9 foot in the air landed on my shoulder. I slowly got up expecting to have broken something or worse as hit a bike n radiator. . . . Nothin, no bruising or nothin, not even winded. I was very happy but shocked.

Remy falls down more than Michael Douglas in All falling down

押し出し！！

he was probably thinking of a big Mac when he got down!

One of The Greatest Yokozuna in Sumo History vs The Greatest Actor in Kickboxing History

F por el gordito 😢

akebono is the asian big daddy v !

Dj vs Honda

스모가.불쌍하다.출전하지마라.

If this is muay thai….attack the sumo leg!😂only

9:19 ta respirando apulso, chama o samur kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Он же даже не бьëт)))

Also the woman screaming when remmey gets hit, that's to mess with remmeys head. Like it's worse than it is

曙は相撲最強説を壊した なぜ親方を全うしなかったのか？

9:40 wtf

strange "Legend" :) Cro Cop is a legend!

曙の動画で、勝ったのを、見たことがないんだが。 このように、ダーンと倒れるな。 見る前から、曙負けると予想が出来る。

wow

相撲取りは相撲だな

zerstörtes Kapital 😆

If they do a sumo match he will not survive 10 seconds. This kind of mix discipline encounter are just pathetic

9:12

曙プロレスで良かった なでKiに変わった

Skills vs Fat

That was one of none of the fights of this african "remy" in which he looks combative and having willing to engage in. In the rest of his fights.. he always looks like he trying to AVOID engaging and were always unable to use punches. He had a terrible affraid of opponemt punches... sadly that sumo fighter was unable to throw even one punch, he just was "driving" punches, no impulse behind his punches.

朝青龍ならボコボコにしてそう

Dak masukk

Cüseyden utan.

old

Silly

The fat ones punches looked useless

Please don't eat me

awful matchup

Did 'bono throw one kick? Surprised he didn't just do boxing instead of KB.

What a boring fight

What a ridiculous match up, pathetic money making farce

Frozen like elsa ❄️🥶❄️
