as a kid watching Kickboxer never knew this dude was actually the real deal it only took 30yrs to find this out today thank God for CZcams!
Same and im 40 lol
@@forgottenZ32 Tompoe crippled his ass
I'm shocked to now know this guy's the real deal!
I knew that when the film come out!
Same here. 🙏🏻
I love the grit and rawness of the early kickboxing days. Seems like it was a golden age of kickboxing back then.
It was now it’s not fighters are not the way they were in the 80s like they just don’t have confidence and are worried unlike the fighters in the 80s used to go all out kickboxing just ain’t big as it used to be
K1 was epic
MMA has bastardised martial arts. Many pure forms have now suffered cultural depletion.
@@zayyaanal-iqra12670
It was because all the kick-boxers had different martial arts backgrounds too so they came with all kinds of techniques whereas now almost everybody in kickboxing has the same background
Dude had it all. Slick fighter, good build, good looking, and hit the big screen. Amazing to think people can accomplish so much with their bodies and mind.
His mind ultimately landed him in Prison. It can be a double edged sword. Superb video. The 80's looked great fun in the US
@@VelcroKittie he didnt do any “real” crime. He tried to keep HIS money from the irs and some moneys laundering. Most people would tell the irs to F off if they could, but it clearly lands you in jail.
@@bronsonz-1500 he's doing 15 years of "real" time
Let’s not forget the mustache
Yeah….but can he move like me?
I grew up watching kickboxer as a kid and didn't realize this guy was the actual the real deal. It's sad he didn't get the credit. He deserved until the internet blew up
Wow omg he would probably kick van damme ass aswell
@@abdulmumin6251 of course
Van Damme is an actor first and foremost
It's wrong to compare the two
@@RealAgon humm, not sure about that tho... Van Damme was not only an actor, he did have a nice background as well before acting...
@@boshado4054 ballet ya.
@@Hotsauce-cj7kj he has actual kickboxing record in form of full contact karate which is considered oart of kickboxing back then

Indeed.
i listen to this way too much
Fucking awesome! Dude was a terminator! I remember as a kid seeing him in kickboxer. Didn't know he was real deal or that gd. Great tribute vid with music and jcvd!
True Men, He was a beast in the Ring, a true Men masculin powerfull etc
Probably kick Jean claud van damme ass in real life. Jean claude had only 19 or something contests
same
He used to train, still may actually, with one of my Tae Kwon Do Instructors in Hawaii. I got to spare with him a couple times just for training purposes and his Power was NO Joke! I too grew up watching him and while serving in the Marine Corps stationed in Hawaii I took some classes and my jaw dropped when I found out he was there on a regular basis! I took in as much as I could for the brief time I was there and will never forget it! Thanks, Master Alexio, and Master Smith! Semper Fi!
He's been in jail since 2017 for money laundering etc so unlikely. 15 year sentence.
@@ThrillUK based²
Stop telling lies lad
@@billybarr7443 the unlikely that ThrillUK is talking about is him still training. You got it wrong.
Lies
When he says: "That's power" after kicking the pad with Jean Claude Van Dame... EPIC 0:35
Even more fun fact: Van Damme was a kickboxer himself before acting (using his real name Jean Claude van Varenberg)
This is the best Dennis Alexio video ever! Music goes perfectly with what a bad ass he is!
He used to do 12 rounds pro kickboxing fights, amazing conditioning!
true now days these guys fight a "play it safe" 5 rounders nothing more world elite should fight at least 8-12 rounds to seperate the part timers from the top level to the elite
Yes and I remember once for title fight in 92 he asked for 12 3 minute rounds
Crazyyyyy I Never knew
12 rounds of 2min for a world's championship
For someone with massive size that is very very good conditioning
“Can he move like me?”
"See we got em"
@@KDBSPORTS_ENT its also a powerfull one
"Bangkok, Taiwan, Tokyo...What's the difference? I'm kickin' ass wherever I go" - Eric Sloane
Kick boxer quote 🤣😂🤣😂😂
You bleed like mai lei...
in real life, he destroyed tong po
100%
True..tong Po is just a poor actor and He never fought in the Ring
Definitely
💪💪💪
I'm all right with you but it's movie. In order to make the victory vandamme's amazing, Tong Po must be the most scaring and a badass.
68-1 record was truly a record to behold... Alexio was the Terminator
1? Tong-po?
@@ravdobrzynski xD he broke his leg during a fight
@@Estelost :P joke
Don the dragon Wilson
He lost more than one fight pal...
His kicks are outstanding. Also the combinations of hands and feet.
The power and accuracy he had in his legs
Music is "Motorcycle Cop by Power Glove" if anyone wants to know. 😀
My first ever pay per view was one of his fights. I will never forget. He ended it with a flying reverse tornado kick. Dude was a beast.
Dude what in the fuc* is a flying reverse tornado kick?? You don't even know what kicks are actually called. It's either a flying kick, a tornado kick, or a reverse spinning kick but it's not all 3. If you knew what a tornado kick actually is you'd know it can't be done in reverse.
Yeah, he tried that move on the IRS and they Tong Po'ed his a$$.
now he's serving 15 years in prison. He'll be released in 2027. (he's 64 now).
2:26 Even Chuck Norris is admiring his skills
He would have pulvarized chuck. 😂
Alexio’s manager was Chucks partner in business. Bob wall aka O’Hara from enter the Dragon 🐉
@@Drhomelander Of he he would have pulverized him. Chuck Norris was never pro. Never.
@@Drhomelander never could have fought chuck wrong weight Chuck was middle weight.
@@liquidswords5918 wrong ! Chuck Norris was a real karate fighter, and he enters karate tournaments between 1964 and 1974. During this time, estimates have his fighting record at roughly 183-10-2. Chuck became the World Professional Middleweight Karate Champion in 1968.
That spinning back kick is brutal
and spinning back fist too.
@@dostma1 just about to say that.
Kicking that one guy while he’s sitting on the rope.
@@phoenixpharaoh9517
Makes most ufc fights look soft.
Use to be a fan of the UFC. I ordered them from 40 to 80 something. It’s like WWE now to me with the acting.
Why have I never heard of this man? I only know him from the Kickboxer movie. Never realized what a bad ass this man is/was!
Love the pop in his hooks and the commitment to those BOMBS that look like kicks.
Mr. Power. Just comes forward and blasts them down. Not hard to see why he was called the Terminator. But although his strategy was straightforward, his technique was varied and on point! Underrated legend.
Love this retro highlight. Very well done.
" it doesn't matter where I go now, you know what they say about me
Everybody loves a winner, everyone can see that I am. Everybody follows the leader, Crusin' down the streets of Siam"
If you say so buddy...
Fuck yeah dude!
Dude that was the jam back in the day! Love Stan Bush he's one of the king of 80s soundtracks.
amazing synthwave vibe in this video
I wouldn't want to get kicked by Dennis Alexio.
STEVE P bruh same !
I'd pay to get kicked by Dennis Alexio, just to feel the power so I can channel some of it.
Neither would i
Great highlights and actually great music for once too! That aerial spinning back-kick is DEATH! Truly terrifying stuff! 👍👍👍👍
That track is great , wonder who is author
ame
@@maciejguzek3442 Oh! I just found out! The track is called "Motorcycle Cop," by Power Glove!
@@HowlingMoonCinemas You just made my day! This is so atmospheric. Strange how it went under my radar up to now
What a rabbit hole I just went down. Was listening to Streets of Siam on another CZcams video and one of the few comments was explaining how Dennis Alexio was a real champion (something I didn't know). Unfortunately his life seemed to take a nose dive at the tail end of his career. In 2017 he was sentenced to 15 years for money laundering and other things. No idea why he would do this at first. He could have made an honest living after his own career still related to the sport but I think he was only ever interested in fighting and nothing else. When he realised age had caught up to him and he could no longer compete at the level he wanted, it sent him into a downward spiral. He will be over 70 when finally released. I don't know much of the justice system but maybe good behavior can get him out in his late 60s and he can spend time coaching and training the up and comers.
Stand Bush rocks! Love streets of siam. Hell yeah man.
When you get a taste of fame and money and make bad business decisions. Smacks of desperation. Hopefully he can, but if it's fed time, maybe not.
Paul Hertzog/ Stan Bush! 🤘🤘
Must've lived to fight. He dared to try win against the US Govt, which it even took till the final round for Muhammad Ali to do (7-0 , 1970 US Supreme Court) without similar money at stake
Kickboxer is one of my all time favorite movies. I think Dennis Alexio deserves more credit than’s been given.
Dennis Alexio was a beast , he is definitely one of the best kickboxers in history.
he was good.. but guys like ernesto hoost, stan the man, mirko cro cap will kill him..
Imagine him against prime sefo or hunt or cro cop or aerts or hari or saki or le banner.. haha greatest american kickboxer thats all
@Leon Flames brother he fight don wilson - loss, stan the man- loss... cikatic- draw ... never beat some great kickboxers ... alexio fight until 1999 but he never went in k1 to fight guys like petar aerts, andy hug, mike bernardo, hoost ... dont even fight rick roufus ... great kickboxers to watch , great record but never beat nobody
@@mategradac199 Totally agree
Mate Gradac Dennis stated in many interviews that he would take Rick Roufus on as well as Maurice Smith , but those fights never happened due to money concessions .
Power Glove - Motorcycle Cop, for those who were wondering what the song/music was.
When two mustaches collide: Alexio vs Hug
Aww I miss Andy hug
I knew him as a friend hes to always tell me when I was young stay out of trouble he is a real life terminator and a great person in general just came into some bad bad things which is part of life live and overcome love and Aloha God-bless you Dennis.
Stop talking shit
ohhh. my god . I looked to see their fights by chance and I didn't think it was that good! he was a true warrior
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the brutal combination from 3:22-3:29? For any average viewer, they see it as a barrage of violent strikes, but it does take A LOT of practice and experience to pull it off effortlessly. Alexio kept throwing those mean hooks to the body, and once his opponent began to cover his body and leaned forward just a little bit from the ropes, Alexio threw a clean roundhouse right to the head, knocking him out cold. He ain’t called the Terminator just because he’s a powerful striker, as he also is an intelligent striker that knows exactly where an opening is and when to strike
He was very calculated and tempered to see that opening. He wasn't just banging out some random combo he'd learned, he was going with the flow and saw an open door and took the shot. What a beast! 💪👍
That knee was the epitome of calculated.
Shame PKA was more cult than mainstream...it was a few years before its time.
@@Samastano Hit the nail on the head bro, he truly was a beast
@@burtonrivera5253 Shame PKA was not as popular. At least legends like Rob Kaman and Ernesto Hoost are training new fighters in this day and age to pass on their knowledge and experience.
PS that knee was brutal af too!
That knee was the set-up which positioned the...
Coup-de-gras...
When you see how culture has evolved, into MMA, boxing gradually echoed into near-oblivion...oh well....
I fought on some of the Alexio cards in Hawaii. Use to train with Dennis. He kicks like a mule! Never saw anyone kick harder than him. He had quick hands and devastating body punches. I hope the best for him. Unfortunately, he is serving a considerable sentence in prison at the Federal pen.
For what?
@@mr.makedonija2627 For tax fraud, theft and money laundering. He's serving a 15 years term (2018).
@@mr.makedonija2627 Tax evasion
No one fcking with him in there... Lol
He brought that prison sentence on himself. Dumbass couldn't control his greed....
I knew him as Dennis Dick when he lived in Vacaville Ca. In the 80’s, I used to see him around town driving a Porsche 914 at that time
Grew up in the arts Idolizing this dude. Devastating Hand combinations, spin kicks, great defense AND Good speed. All THIS from a Heavyweight. Helped shape a lot of my own personal Kickboxing style.
This guy was awesome until Tong Po put that vicious beating on him.
and that's why they don't allow the 12 to 6 elbow
gotta love the movie thankfully its a rule in real life
@@williamdavidimpacfittraini7787 the shot was to the spine
Esteban Davila obviously. 12 to 6 elbow to the spine
If he really fought light Dennis Alexio in this video, Tong Po would be out within a minute 😁
One of the best highlight I ever seen!!
Waouh !!! you are now my favorite channel with muay thai scholar !!! great work dude !!! thanks from France
My adoptive father was good friends with him back in the day, he also did some dieting and nutritional help for Dennis back in his prime days. I was just a kid and didnt really know who he was till I got older but he was a nice guy from what I could remember. A true legend just had some bad luck and made some bad choices. Hope when he gets out he lives the rest of his life happily and stays on a straight rope. He doesnt deserve to stay stuck in prison for the rest of his life.
Real Terminator
This guy would have been a killer in MMA, seeing how well great kickboxers like Izzy and Poatan have done. Would have loved to see him in the octagon.
My neighbor had Kickboxer and Bloodsport on VHS when I was a boy. I borrowed them every week. Inspired me to better things. Thanks Van Damme!
What a man Woo amazing spining kick
His back fist was just as lethal as his kicks!
Thank you for the video, btw; it's an interesting collection which took some work to put together. The sound is apropos as well!
This guy was no joke, great video!
Fun fact: the voice Dennis has in "kickboxer" wasn't his own; someone else's was used instead. He stated this in an interveiw I read a while back. Apparently his accent wasn't 'American' enough or something. So there you go!!!
You're wrong and this is old news. They decided to dub him because his high pitched voice didn't match his physical appearance and he couldn't deliver his lines in a professional matter so they had to dub him with a more masculine voice. There are videos out there without the dubbing and it's.. hilarious.
Damn, I thought he was a good actor considering how convincing his lines were in the movie. Lol
that's power here
Beautiful fighting style, great combos!
A true champion......Respect and much love bro.....
They should make a real movie about this guy.
Very Very Very Nice Dennis Alexio!!!
Sensacional!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
O cara é foda!!
Queria vê uma luta entre ele e o mito Jean acho que o astro perderia 😂😂😂
I remember this guy from Kickboxer. I said to myself, "Man this guy plays a kickboxer so well." Now it all makes sense. Man was an elite kickboxer.
@Old School Fighter, just to let you know that you've made a masterpiece
This man is a beast!!
I love when he used,spinnig back kick, spinning hook and Spinning back fist
I love this channel !
经典就是经典，你的视频回忆了一个时代
i Never thought that this guy was actually a real fighter
I can't believe that this guy was a real Kickboxer and a Legend for that matter. Wow!
Loved the 80's music background...
I know man what is the name of the song
Great video. This guy was awesome!
Hey Dennis if you see this thank you for talking to me and my buddy about 15 years ago on the phone. We talked to you for 1/2 hour. We randomly found your cell phone number online. Big fan of your movies and kickboxing career. The fact that you were stoked we called you and kept talking to us is something I’ll never forget. I believe you were living In Hawaii at the time. I’m sure you do not remember the call, but you were still so stoked to hear from some fans. Your the best! Hope life is treating you good!
I think he's still in prison if I'm not mistaken

Dennis was fearsome. In the beggining of fight you know that some terrible will hapen with somebody. Spooky.. yet he was a brilliant martial artist and upholder of the highest standards of chivalry. A warrior.
Respect........
I trained with him at the jet center and boy his kicks and punches was like a mule and so fast and people don't realize that he dominated the kick boxing with such a good winning streak that I kind of wish he fought in UFC when it first started because he would of been known even more. I would of liked to see him fight Patrick Smith who did well in the UFC.
