Rico, a complete fighter! Having an iron chin, leg and body strength to absorb the opponent's heavy bombardment, awesome and lethal combos of the left jab and overhand right,and accurate fast leg kicks, possesing ring intelect with natural clinching abilities preparing for his knee striking capabillities and a full gas tank to go the distance.
This was a great fight imo. Adegbuyi's boxing looked very sharp but he was worn down and overwhelmed by the more diverse offense of Verhoeven who mixed in kicks and knees a lot more effectively while also boxing well. Verhoeven's right push kicks to the body and leg kicks after punch combinations (the signature move of the old Dutch Kickboxers) were especially effective.
When do you see such a muscular heavyweight with more gas tank than many other flyweights. You can clearly see he is training brutally for that endurance
who says it’s because of his training? Do you think he is the only heavyweight that trains hard? I bet there are some that train even harder . It comes from other factors.
Awesome fight. Rico has excellent technique for a heavyweight and his endurance is very good. At his age he will only get better and his power will improve.
I can't understeand the criticism on Verhoeven. He put a show on technique everytime with combos. People who say he is boring don't understand a shit about muay thai/ kickboxing. He is an artist
bro people want to see show, people want to see blood, k.o's etc . He is a good fighter but you cannot compare him with Bad Hari , Peter Aerts., Rey Seffo, Bonjasky etc. Look at his fucking ko percentage he has like 20 something k.o percentage in heavyweight kickboxing wtf u mean he is not boring?
@@marctripon9796 true, this is a sport of adrenaline and blood. F.e top successfull fighters like rico and mayweather are really good at winning a match but it doesn't make them exciting to watch or enjoy like those fighters you just mentioned. its like watching a ping pong or tennis trying to score eachother. in the end we cant blame them for trying to do whatever brings them the belt within the rules though.
@@thurgrime5037 I see what you're saying but he's nothing like Floyd. He walks forward and pressures the whole time but is calm and measured in his approach
Im Romanian.... Just i need to recognise... Rico is most respectful fighter... Bravo young smart str8ng, only need to hide tha, he let first round to recignize rivals weak spots...Someone can se that and explode in him unprepared.
Hi Verhofen, all Mpriato Jijah, but I have a mistake has always been repeated and may be used by his opponent to bring him down I hope that this error will not be repeated, especially with Badr Harry
@Uno Qualsiasi arabs are white as well, and somalis as well depending on how you define white. In general whitness is club that keeps inviting new poeple every 25 years. With other words mean nothing. You average Romanian has more in common with Bernjamin than Rico or an Italian.
@@Giagantus The average romanian is whiter than a italian or other southern european, you clearly have no ideea what you are talking about pal. Arabs are Caucasian but i wouldn't consider them white in any shape or form.
Rico is something special, no doubt. I would like to see him throw more leather. i would imagine his ratio is 4 kicks to one punch. but i appreciate the art of this sport is to use both technically and he does that rather well.
Beny Adegbui is our fighter (Romania) ....but against Badr i think has NO chance because Badr is faster, powerfull and agresive !The only fighter that can stop Badr is Rico of today ! ;)
The way I see it (maybe wrong) Both are very good athletes. But Rico wanted to avoid the harder punches of Benjamin. Benjamin relies a lot on his front leg to box hard. That's why Rico will not try to power-box him too much. He punches very quickly and blinds Ben. Then shifts wheight to impact the front leg with a big low kick. In round 4 you can see Ben shifting his weight to the backleg a bit more (pain in the front leg ?) aaaand... gets lowkicked in the backleg XD . Rico has a very "stick to plan" attitude. His preparation must have been very specific. And his corner must have given good advices during match. Both athletes are very very strong. But well... One olan worked better than another i guess ?
As good a contest as you'll ever between two fine exponents of the art of kick boxing, but Rico Verhoeven remorselessly wore down Benjamin Adegbuyi with a barrage of kicks, knees and accurate punches. .
Amazing how so tall and huge guys can fight so quickly and stamina and spectacular technique and combinations. Glory doing a good job as K1 but I miss so much K1 tournaments and GP
This fight perfectly demonstrates all of Rico's strengths and weaknesses IMO. Rico usually gets pieced up at one point in the fight then decides to bite down on his mouth guard and increase his output, letting those combinations fly.
Aproape l ai batut . Nu te a pus jos.. Daca erai mai activ il bateai de acum 3 ani frate Benny . In 2021 vreau sa ajungi CAMPION MONDIAL. Deja l-ai trimis pe Badr Hary la culcare 💪👊👏❤
Great fight, but the camera angles (or choice of camera feeds, I guess) weren't always giving a great view of the action. I've noticed this on several Glory fights. :(
Had this fight kept going until one man goes down, I guarantee you Rico would have finished him. It's amazing to see a guy as big as Rico be very technical for a change, it's refreshing.
Rico is my Favorite Fighter He earn his Nickname being the King of Kickboxing. He is a True Heart of a champ. He earn my biggest Respect when he Fought Jamal Ben Saddic. Rico is the King.
He's a good guy and all but his weight is put on his body in a different way than most of the people he fights, just look how thick his body is and especially his legs. I think he has an advantage against a lot of people because the way he is built, it's kind of not fair. Even though the people he fights are in weight class they are built totally different than Rico
I fell asleep during this fight…. After I woke up I thought the video playing speed was slowed down to 0.5 but quickly found out it was on regular speed
The difference was the low kicks no doubt. I really wanted to see replays of the shots he was calling groin strikes to see if it was legit or a ploy for time to recover.
Now that's a fight. One clinch only now that's non stop action. Go Glory!!!
Wow! He just keeps looking better and better. No fluke here... this man is a true champ!
Rico is such a slow starter, but once he gets going, it is brutal
He get his distance and timing
He's a true warrior
It's his strategy. It's common to use first round to feel each other out, measuring distances and stuff.
He’s feeling out his opponent finding the distance and finding patterns it’s not smart for a fighter to go all out in the opening round
@@Roman-cl1no though if you have the luxury of 5 rounds it's fine but not in a 3 round match
This is my favorite Rico fight
The combinations and boxing to leg kick combos he throws are just Insane
Yeah, it's the most I ever seen him do in a fight
Ricos cardio for that weight is amazing 😱
Reason Rico is so successful is that he has a GREAT SECOND WIND. Once that kicks in he's on another level.

Ive wondered the same thing but he is just one of those guys that people just hate no matter how much he wins.
In my perspective, in this fight I think Rico's thinking "why knock him out if you can torture him more" Rico's just brutal with those leg kicks
Iam a bit late but finnaly a verhoeven fan. He is an artist, viciously pressuring and using every opening. Watching him makes me excited.
What an awesome fight,awesome display of technique by Rico Verhoeven.
Respect Beni !!! Esti o legenda si un adevarat luptator !!!Ai reusit ceea ce putini ar fi putut sa o faca !!!!Bravo ne mandrim cu tine !!!
Very good Fight,good skills and very veriable by Rico,he is a real Champion.
I’m surprised this didn’t end in a leg kick KO. Home boys legs must have been in shooting pain by the end.
I think Rico has an advantage in fights because his body is so thick with muscle. It's almost not fair
Im Romanian.... Just i need to recognise... Rico is most respectful fighter... Bravo young smart str8ng, only need to hide tha, he let first round to recignize rivals weak spots...Someone can se that and explode in him unprepared.

Усик твой клиет .толь ни бегай по рингу как страус.
Ignore leg kicks at your peril. What a brutal lesson.
Rico is a great heavyweight. This was a MASTERPIECE!!!
Real kickboxers love this fight, only the filthy casuals thought this fight was boring, they can't see what's really going on
100% agree
Agree ;)
This fight was fucking awesome.
the speed and technical execution of ricos combinations were just awesome for a heavyweight!
Booooring
The Romanian fighter was a tough dude but Rico put on a clinic.
Just started watching his fights. He’s a beast.

This was fun to watch ! Rico is getting better and better .More knee please ; ))

I never thought about kneeing the thigh before. Now that I’ve seen it, they seem like a logical, damaging strike.
