This is exactly the kind of thing I appreciate Vincent for. I would have never heard of Dekker without this video.

Can’t tell you how much the Muay Thai community appreciates the respectful and detailed coverage. As always a big heartfelt thank you for your research!!!

I am actually surprised by the fact that so many people don't know about this man. The "Diamond". Thank you Vincent, for this brilliant video. More people need to know about this legend. RIP, one of the greatest fighters our world has ever seen.

Another Joe Vincent masterpiece. Not enough people know Ramon Dekkers and just how lethal he was. I think the most incredible fact about him is that the Thai Royal family personally presented him with a royal award and made him the official ambassador to all foreign fighters in Thailand in honor of his achievements. He was truly 'one of them' in the eyes of many Thai fighters.

Dekkers finally gets the Joe Vincent documentary he deserves!

My favorite Muay Thai fighter and the man that inspired me to take up and practice the discipline. Gone too soon. RIP Ramon.

Rust in vrede "Diamond", we zullen je nooit vergeten. Bedankt voor alles wat je voor de sport hebt betekend. Legends never die!

Joy to watch. And a real gentleman. He even got awarded by the Thai royal family for his contribution to the sport. And was named a ambassador to all foreign boxers in Thailand. If that doesn't spell Legend than nothing will.

Every shot Dekkers threw had a purpose. His power was scary, but what made him so terrifying was how patient he really was. Loved watching his old tapes.

I'm a 16-year-old kid who is entering the world of Muay Thai. It is a sport that excites me and inspires me to achieve something meaningful in my life. It is because I am about to enter this world that it is important for me to share with you the story of one of the greatest fighters in Muay Thai history, Ramon Dekkers. To me, he is a true masterpiece who deserves to be remembered and recognized for his accomplishments. I think the most amazing fact about him is that the Thai royal family personally presented him with a royal award and made him the official ambassador of all foreign fighters in Thailand in honor of his achievements. He was truly "one of them" in the eyes of many Thai fighters who honored and respected him for his achievements in the ring. Ramon Dekkers was a Muay Thai master who was known for his deadly technique and invincibility in the ring. But he was not only one of the best fighters in Muay Thai history, but also one of the most respected and beloved athletes by millions of fans around the world. He left an unforgettable legacy and will always be remembered. Ramon Dekkers inspires me to work hard and achieve my goals. His story teaches me that nothing is impossible if we work hard and don't give up. Although Ramon Dekkers is no longer with us, his legacy lives on in the hearts of millions of fans and fighters around the world. This is the story of a true masterpiece who deserves to be remembered and recognized for his accomplishments. Let us remember Ramon Dekkers and be inspired by his achievement as we continue to work hard to achieve our goals. Sincerely, Vess Oren

JV never misses always dropping classics

There's the Cro Cop vs Wanderei staredown and there's the psycho look in Deckers eyes. Ramon was on another level.

RIP to the king

During almost all of his exchanges, you can see his opponents make the "That's the hardest I've ever been hit" face. 🥊😖

Since the Buakaw episode, it appears Joe V. has fallen into the kickboxing void. This bodes well for the great ones. Maybe we'll see episodes on Kaman, Changpuek, Urquidez, and the 90's K1 kings such as Hug, Hoost, Lebanner, Aerts, etc. Even if he just picked the Dutch masters, he'd have his work cut out for him. Joe, you are doing a great service to combat sports by providing top shelf highlights that tell great stories, and exposing your wide and diverse sports audience to the greatest fighters of all time in such a compelling way.

One of my favorite fighters. Not because he always won, but he always came to fight and always delivered one.

Hats off to the hardcore mma/muay thai fans who even know who Dekkers was. But praise to those who know how hard this man had to fight to prove himself to a different culture and its people. Rip King

Rip Dekker. Gone but never forgotten 💓

Ramon wat een vechter! Nice to see this video. When I was young he was the reason why I wanted to kickbox. Veel te vroeg gestorven. ❤️ Rip

My god-father was a old champion kickboxer, I boxed when I was younger.. I had heard many stories growing up, and heard “hit hard like Diamond Dekker” haha. But until now (age 28) i’d never truly understood what that meant. This was beautiful!

This is my first time ever hearing or seeing Ramon "The Diamond" Dekker. Didn't really get into Muay Thai or Kickboxing in my early years of watching combat sports. But WOW!!! This dude was a killer. His leg kicks look so violent and devastating all at the same time. And then to have his ankles fuse with his legs due to those vicious kicks he delivered and didn't even care if he break his own legs shows what type of heart and incredible discipline he had. And probably crazy as hell as well. Once again Joe you did a great job with this documentary especially on a person that I have never heard of before and I feel like I got a lot out of this documentary with your hard work keep it up my friend You're doing amazing job once again.

R.I.P. Mr.Dekkers he is the definition of a legend who stood up to the challenge no matter what and kept striving for more. You can see his earth shatter ing spirit in every thunderous snap of his successful punches and kicks the man was a force of nature and a prodigy in his own right and proof that we do live amongst heroes. I appreciate the work taken to create this video and the mans work and the things I learned watching it,thank you.

Thank you for shining a light on this dutch legend.

Thanks Joseph Vincent! For keeping the spirit off Ramon Diamond Dekkers alive his legacy is mostly forgotten by many and the foundation he build for all foreigners fighters of Muay Thai is not talked about enough! R.I.P.

Bas Rutten shared your video today! He said this is the documentary to watch on Dekkers. I agree. This is the ultimate Ramon Dekkers doc. Nothing else out here is even close. Great work again.

Nobody does it like Joseph Vincent! 💯💪

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Didnt even know the guy when I woke up this morning. Ending my day as an absolute fan of Dekker. He's obviously not getting the respect he deserves at all. Unbelievable! On top of that we have the magician making the content. Hell of a combination. Brother you're going to have to do a documentary on your damn self you keep up this level of quality..

You hear the name "Buakaw", you hear the name "Saenchai", but you never hear the name "Dekker". The muaythai goat, Thank you for this 🙏

IT'S ABOUT TIME you did Dekkers! Thanks man. Appreciate it. 🙂

What a legend. Absolutely devastating power and deadly leg kicks. Rest in paradise Ramon

Pure coincidence I find myself here. Your video isn’t even a day old, I randomly typed Ramon Dekkers because I was looking for some nostalgic highlights of this beast. Great video and an amazing channel you’ve got my guy. I’m from Breda, Ramon was born here, people talk about him here still.

Easily one of my top three Thai style fighters. He was ferocious, all shots were thrown with evil intent. His left hook was fantastic.

One of the best things about these videos are the sound effects on the punches,kicks and tackles. They make already great documentaries even better.

I’ve been involved in Muay Thai since 1990 and Dekkers was my first idol in this sport. Absolute deadset legend. He was coming out to Australia to do some seminars around 2012 i was booked to meet him and was pumped. Unfortunately he passed away shortly before coming here. RIP Diamond

Thanks for putting this together.

Thank You for This One! 💎

After watching this piece of golden history, one can clearly see who influenced Liam Harrison. Its almost as if The Hitman is keeping The Diamond's legacy alive 'simply' with his fights and style. I love it all. Both are two of my favorite fighters across all disciplines. I absolutely adore and appreciate the genuine love and knowledge you set within your documentaries. God bless these fighters and all your efforts to bring their talent and legacy to life.

As a guy who’s had a Ramon Dekkers leg kick as my profile picture for years, great job with the video as always, so much power in everything he throws.

Saw this upload pop up while I was at work, was so stoked to watch it when I got home. Thanks for the upload, always look forward to them!

Once again, thanks mr. Vincent

How the heck have i never heard of this beast before ?!! Wow he's an animal. Never saw someone fight this way like he didn't care about pain. Thank u for sharing such amazing documentary 👌

So good of you to show how great this guys was to a wide audience, his name needs to be in the mind of any combat sports fan.

Whoooo thank you so much to dedicate this video to the Diamond ! We can't thank you enough ! Awesome video

Thanks Joe. I was waiting on this one. Awesome job as always.

Love your work! Great documentary & thank you

When i first found out about Dekkers i felt so proud that we Dutch had such an elite fighter coming from our ranks. It inspired me to become better and is still my favorite fighter when it comes to M.T./K.B. thank you for the documentary!

I asked for this more than once, THANK YOU! Excellent as always.

always a great day when MR Joeseph Vincent releases a new documentary!!!

Wow thank you sir 🙏🏻 i commented about Ramon in 1 of your other videos and you responded it’s coming soon . Thank you so much for this great tribute by a great docu maker Edit : and seeing the comment section getting Ramon’s name out is needed 🙏🏻

This is a guy who should be more heard of truly a more obscure legend

Fantastic documentary. Thanks for putting this together. Dekkers is an absolute legend.

Finally!! I was waiting for one on the Diamond. Thank you so much!

There are so many fighters that I hadn't heard of before you made a great video about them. Thanks for helping so many of us learn about and enjoy these warriors in such an entertaining way. You are unrivaled in your craft Mr. Vincent. Please keep the great content coming! (Troy Aikman maybe?) I'm a Cowboys fan.

My brotha, you’ve done it again. Masterpiece after masterpiece. Thank you so much for the content, it always makes my day when you drop another video

What a Legend, glad that i know about him now. Thank you Vincent!

Thank you Joe for another wonderful video. Absolutely fantastic! 👍

Wow another banger! You never disappoint, love the style and content of your videos! Absolutely some of the best content on youtube for sports fanatics. Thanks so much!

Thank you for making this. The Turbine from Hell is one of the greatest western martial artists, period. One of the most inspiring fighters ever.

Thank you for making this documentary I would never have known about this man's legacy. A true martial artist.

Bravo 👏 Mr. Vincent another great video. Thank you for showing this legend and honoring his memory.

Wow. Your commentary is absolutely fantastic. I know you've seen these comments a thousand times but I hope they just inspire you to keep on going. You really are feeding the sports industry, especially combat, with these commentaries. Can't thank you enough dude 👍

Thank you for this. Ramon Dekkers deserves high praise, incredible fighter, insane power. Still inspiring people to this day. An absolute legend. RIP

Thank You! ❤️ 💎

Finally you did it... Thanks dude!

I used to see this guy in highlight videos back in the old school days of internet video…always looked like a BEAST…

Thank you so much for making this I’ve been commenting on your old vids for this🔥🙏🏽

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!

Why are such Gems not talked about? Joe is single handedly preserving history

What a legend! nice work man

Thank you for this one

I remember seeing the Eminem edit of dekkers years ago and being blown away by the talent. So sad he died so young.

Please keep making these for kickboxers and muay thai fighters they're my favorites of yours

Perfect production quality once again. Thank you Joe.

Thanks! I love his skills and been a fan for years

As a huge fan of all forms of combat sports, I am super shocked that I have never heard of this man and I never would have without you Joe. Thanks for always putting out stellar content and keeping us all informed.

Hell yeah, bro! I'm really glad you are showcasing Muay Thai. It's a nice switch-up. Those guys are beasts. I can appreciate their dedication to their craft.

Ramon Dekkers.....Joseph Vincent!!!!!! Hell yeah. Soooo looking forward to this. 🙏

Never heard of this diamond man before. Thank you.

I can't believe I slept on this dude.. masterwork on your part JV👊🏾👊🏾

Imagine being Ramon, and working your life towards a crown and a strap only to be KOed by the next Thai star. Then some years down the road, getting the opportunity to avenge that loss and steal the throne. He hit that guy with everything he had in his soul and put that guy out cold face first. Incredible.

I’ve been waiting for this

He had a killer instinct... really powerful legs kick and hooks...

The Legend! We will never forget him🏆🥀

I never would heard of this great legend if not for Joseph Vincent. Hands down one of the most underrated YT channels out there!!

R.I.P. Ramon Dekkers- Forever Champion !!

Nobody brings it home like Joe Vincent....Nobody......MAKE IT SO💯

I was waiting for this! Finally somebody made a documentary on RD. Many thanks to you Vincent 👏

One of my AT favorites !! Thank you for honoring his memory with your meaningful tribute, Joseph ! Keep up the good work ! You're a G !

What a beast... more sporting fans should know about this guy he should rightfully stand alongside names such as Mike Tyson, Khabib & Manny etc... Mr Vincent can u do a Rob Kaman one next please? Mr low kick...

You know you’re a legendary muaythai fighter when Thai fighters call you they’re all time great.

Thank you Vincent...Nobody does it better!!!

Thank You Vincent

I unfortunately only just started paying attention to the Muay Thai world. Really wish I knew of him earlier in life. What a champion..

This is a better documentary then what is on most streaming platforms. Great work!

I know very little about this sport... but even I've heard of this guy!

He is fantastic fighter . - R.İ.P -

Thank you thank you thank you thank you for making this 🙏🙏 keep te memory of Ramon alive

This was a great video. Thank you so much for sharing.

It's a shame that kickboxing was labeled by the mainstream as a sport for savages here in the Netherlands untill let's say 10 years ago. That's why this man didn't get the recognition I think he well deserved here in his own country. It makes me proud as a Dutchman to see how well our country is represented around the world in sports. If you should make a comparison it is fair to say that Ramon Dekkers is the Johan Cruijff of Muay Thai and kickboxing. Maybe even bigger than that.

Everybody he knocked out is still feeling the pain twenty years later .greatest gladiator ever Ramon .
