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.

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

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.

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.

[showerthoughts]

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.

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

[LukeWestWest]

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!

[Supertoxie]

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.

[crashstitches]

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.

[TheProdigalCat]

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

JV never misses always dropping classics

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

[bandit]

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

[bakiterriyaki]

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.

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
