De toute évidence, Jerome Le Banner était un ton au-dessus sur cette rencontre. Don Frye m'est sympathique comme combattant, mais on voit qu'il s'emballe comme un cheval fou au début du round alors que Le Banner le contient très bien. Après, la puissance et la précision de ce dernier fait la différence : au ralenti, il n'y a pas photo, il le percute en puissance presque à tous les coups ! Mais belle rencontre et à la fin, respect mutuel emprunt de sympathie entre ces deux combattants de valeur !
Il est probable que Don Frye ait cherché le K.O rapide. Peut-être même qu'il voulait avoir l'ascendant psychologique. C'est sûrement effrayant d'essayer de survivre contre un combattant pareil
Le point fort de don est la lutte en mma le combat aurait été différent...il a eu le courage de combattre dans une discipline qui était pas sa spécialité
Jerome was such a nice guy between and outside the ring, you can clearely see after the punch that get my man Don ko the following was just a litle soft touch and nothing agressive when lot of fighter try to bash oponent head after the first hit. That's how you recognize true legend, he can keep his cold blood anywhere anytime
I agree! He is a very composed individual as far as I can tell. Ofc, the fact that Don Fry could kick his ass in an all permitted brawl might have played a small part for his behavior. Scratch that, Jerome is a nice guy!
@@C_R_O_M________ Fyre wouldn't beat JLM no matter which discipline they fought. JLB got Frye's number in every department. Too big and strong and also way too good.
I watched that live with some Friends in New York City, we were fuckin speechless at how brutal that knockout was and how easily LeBanner won that thing
Entièrement d'accord. Je connais ce combat par cœur mais connaissant bien Don Frye, ce qu'il a fait ce jour là est juste titanesque. Respect à Geronimo ❤
Le Banner is a kickboxing specialist and multiple K-1 champion. Don Frye is a beast for even stepping in that ring. He would have killed Le Banner in an mma match.
It was K1 rules, so it's no surprise. No submissions, no takedowns. Don could have easily won this if he were allowed to use his Wrestling. Then again, Don is such a stud, he may not have done that even if they said he could.
Jérôme le banner et un très grand champion il et simple et il a combattu les plus grands c'est coup sont d'une force incroyable un grand bravo à un français remarquable
To be fair, Don Frye is an AMAZING fighter. But Jerome at that time was pretty much the Buakaw of the heavyweight division, not to mention quite a bit bigger than Don. Don bit off more than he was ready for here tbh. MMA rules it might've been a lot closer and probably Don would've thrashed him on the ground and won. But this was just too big a hurdle lol.
Frye was a madman for taking this fight under these rules. Tough SOB. Edit: they should have done hybrid rules a la Le Banner vs Sapp or Mighty Mouse vs Rodtang.
You could see that don’s legs and overall muscle are much smaller in this fight . I bet the other guy had 50-60 pounds on don . It kind of reminds me of rocky 4 how rocky was much smaller .
@@b.nash.7778 @1:42. that was most likely what made Frye's mouth bleed and it definitely dazed him. That exchange was the beginning of the end. It was the beginning of the end from the start. Le'Banner is a monster with both his hands *and* feet.
@@atrocious_pr0xy well, Frye was in way over his head against Lebanner in a kick boxing or boxing ring either way. I don't think I've ever seen frye throw a kick. He used to have some decent boxing earlier in his career. But not here.

Le bruit de cette droite à 2:26, glaçant ! 😱 Le Banner y a mis toute sa puissance et sa précision Elle arrive à une vitesse à peine visible sur la vidéo A la différence de Frye, Mr Lambda lui, il meurt sur le coup
Frye n'en est pas mort mais il en garde des difficultés d'élocution et des séquelles. Il a tellement reçu de coups dans sa vie qu'il doit lui rester seulement une poignée de neurones, déjà qu'à la base il avait pas l'air d'en avoir beaucoup
No time for sh.t for Le Banner; he is dead serious and here to fight! .... So, that bullying, shoving and intimidating the opponent doesn't work here with Le Banner! Man, that Le Banner right cross to Frye's jaw is brutal ..! It brought Frye down crumbling like a brick wall that was hit by a mortar!... Le Banner is the man!
Don was primarily a wrestler and an MMA guy. Fighting under kickboxing rules against a world champion kickboxer like Jerome was never going to end well for Don. I remember watching a clip where Mike Tyson said he would never fight a martial arts guy and the fighter he singled out was Jerome whom he referred to as 'a monster'.

Yes, sure... but what's the point in fighting a legendary heavyweight kickboxer under kickboxing rules, when you're neither a heavyweight, nor a kickboxer?
LeBanner was a high level Kick-Boxer and Don Frye was primarily a Wrestler. Frye had zero chance of winning under these rules. If this were an MMA rules match, we may have seen a different outcome...
Don Frye. Legendary badass. He’s fearless. I was really surprised that Le Banner didn’t have an answer to Don’s swarm. JLB is a monster and K1 legend himself. Horrible ref. Anyway, it was a great strategy by Don to neutralize JLB’s kicks by charging in close.
Yeah he neutralised him so well that he got ironed out within 2 minutes. If that’s the result of a ‘great strategy’ I’d hate to see the result of a bad one.
