Indeed, Hoost shattering his arm is arguably the only reason that he did not win multiple Grand Prix. Le Banner was problematic for the greatest of all time for more than a decade.
@@idnanali4668 For me I particularly enjoyed the K-1 MAX fighters more, Buakaw, Souwer, Masato, Kyshenko, Petrosyan, so many greats as well. K1 was just on another level.

GERONIMO, le plus grand kickboxeur de sa génération,un tueur. Toujours là,Toujours en force. Un roi sans couronne ! Je suis fan depuis ses débuts ,c du lourd quand il envoie. Force à toi et bravo pour ton courage,ta loyauté et ta carrière !
prime jerome le bannier would brake any fighter from the glory era into pieces . the power of leg kicks and punches were scary . the k1 era had some of the most ruthless beasts in martial arts .
@Ww3 The truth Hunt was most definitely a warrior. Hunt beat Cro Cop in MMA. and in K-1 he ate the stiffest Cro Cop left high kick I’ve ever seen and he still got up to go to a decision, and Le Baner battered Hunts lead leg with the most brutal low kicks for 3 rounds and and Hunt was still throwing and landing big power punches that hurt Le Baner even tho his leg was bruised and literally turning black. Not to mention Hunt also knocked out Le Baner again and Hunt also was beating Fedor in the stand up until they went to the floor and it was all over for Mark Hunt but honestly once Mark Hunt started training at America Top Team he was at his best like he started developing a ground game lol to say Hunt is arrogant and thinks he’s “a god” is completely wrong lol he thanks Jesus Christ after every fight and always delivered walk off knocks outs not because he thought he was above his opponents but because he never believed in beating someone while they were down because he knew what it was like to be beaten at his lowest point when he severely abused by his father in fact his father would be him so badly and stop so Marks sister could fix the wounds and his father could get back to beating him. You’d be hard pressed to say that Mark Hunt isn’t only the toughest fighter ever but he is also the most honourable and humble individuals to ever grace combat sports. He is most definitely a warrior
I have to give Spong credit for being this brave. Wow! He was in trouble in mid first round, but he really gave Lebanner good resistance. It's not easy to fight someone who's that much bigger. It's crazy to have a weight difference of 30 kilos between two fighters. So in my opinion, Spong is a really tough fighter.
Monsieur le Banner, vos coups sont si puissants c'est impressionnant, je n'aimerais pas vous rencontrer sur un ring. Je vous suis depuis des années et je sais à quel point votre gauche et vos kicks sont dévastateurs. Vous êtes une légende Mr le Banner, en plus d'être quelqu'un de très simple et d'humble dans la vie. Big respect .
Jérôme le plus grand respect à toi malgré ton âge tu restes un modèle pour des milliers voir des millions de personnes qui te suivent depuis tes débuts j'ai bientôt 50 ans et quand je te vois j'ai l'impression d'avoir 20 ans gloire à toi Jérôme ton nom restera gravé dans l'histoire
Le Banner one of the greatest kickboxers in that Golden era of fighting, his fights were always watched cuz his every fight was a little war!!! Big respect to Jerome Le Banner
Je suis fan, mais quand il cherche sa coupe il est au bord de l'asphyxie, c'est plus la même machine. En tous cas c'est un des le plus grand guerrier que la France ait eu, respect Mr Geronimo
Hey. Anyone else thats not Japanese, even tho theres no english subtitles? You still watch, just the fight itself? Me too! I honestly miss and love K-1!!! And PRIDE FC! Long live both of those great orginazations! 2005, and 2007, and 2009, world grand prix. K-1 Max. The UFC shouldve bought K1 and kept it alive. ❤❤❤❤❤💯
Spong is a legend, dude was amazing, le banner was one of the scariest guys you could fight, he was the beast no one wanted to fight, kinda like yoel romero is now, he just crumpled people with those thunderous leg kicks, watch his fight with my man mark hunt and see how hard he kicks, mark hunt was tough as hell to survive that, even got in a shot that nearly ko'd le banner near the end but marks legs were almost black from those punishing kicks. Le banner had a aura around him that just give off that you dont want this vibe,he wanted to hurt people and most the time he did. Dude was scary
I never made it far enough in kickboxing to walk out to my own song, just some generic rock usually. Still exhilarating. Walking out to metallica in front of a massive crown facing a titan of an opponent. Can't give these athletes enough respect.
Lebanner is one of the hall of famers of fighting sports. And he is unknown to mainstream public in France. Literally : unknown Also lebanner at this age looks exactly like a bouncer that you definitely don't want to piss off, ever lol And lebanner is more M.Bison/Balrog than Tyson is
At this age, Jerome Le Banner looks like a battle tank! What a great fighter!
He made the full transformation from pretty boy in his youth to a caricature of a battered bruiser.
JEROME LEBANNER IS AND ALWAYS BE A LEGEND IN THIS SPORT EVEN THO HE DID NOT WIN THE K-1 JEROME IS ONE OF THE KINGS OF KICKBOXING

Miss this era of fighter Le Banner, Tyrone spong, Saki, Bonjasky, Badr hari.....
You forgot andi hug, peter aerts and Ernesto hoost ;-)
I agree however the current ERA of Fighters can really fight pretty good it's just that it's easier to hurt their feelings haha
@@K1-Classics agreed. Andy Hug (R.I.P), Aerts, Hoost and Le Banner are the first names you think of when you think of K1 legends.
@@K1-Classics Yes... the andy hug, peter aerts, mike bernardo, jerome and ernesto hoost its the best era of k1

Man I respect Tyrone Spong so much more after having watched this fight. I mean he got hit by a giant, but stood his ground and did a great job.

It was 20 kg differants
Le Benner is moving with the grace and agility of a 60 tons panzer.
How would you move weighing 120 kilos?
His movements were gracefull! One of the older fighters that just beats the fucking snot out of a younger epic fighter. Absolute awesome performance

This what a real fight is! Missing the fights in Japan.

Cro Cop, Ray Sefo, Mark Hunt, Glaube Feitosa, Francisco Filho, Cyril Abidi, Remy Bonjaski, Ernesto Hoost, Andy Hug etc etc Those were the days.
Jerome es una leyenda ,que tal físico de este hombre es un monstruo ,un animal ..siempre va hacia adelante
young david vs old goliath. great performance from both. le banner is one of the all time greatest kick boxing monsters.
Thanks from France for this video 🇫🇷🙏🏼
Le Banner one of the greatest kickboxers in that Golden era of fighting, his fights were always watched cuz his every fight was a little war!!! Big respect to Jerome Le Banner
Spong deserves so much credit, nearly being the smaller guy in every fight
K1
Goddamn, 88kg vs. 119kg. Imagine that, fighting someone who is 31 kg of muscle heavier than you...
Bob sapp is bigger than all and lost all his fights

idem
I had spong winning but woah what a fight that was from both men 💥
Imagine if he had been 10 years younger, first round knockout
And Tyrone broke his hand in the first round and just came from middleweight, he was 88kg here. Imagine if he had been few years older...
@@bennyz5515 could've been a huge fight
Imagine if he wasnt on all the steroids on the goddamn planet. He'd have died in the first round.
@@Cas_anova wtf ? I don't think you know Lebanner very well when you say that
@@gyrraxxus929 Lebanner was not on steroid? lol I mean Spong probably was too
Jérôme lebanner living legend
Inbelievable performance by jerome...... an absolute legend and one of the g.o.a.t.
Jerome is simply a legend..!!!
Prime le banner against prime spong would have finished that in one minute
Epic fight and a strong jerome le banner!
Jerome tu et le meilleur
Jérôme notre légende du K1!💪🏽👊🏻

Vraiment un très beau combat,tyrone n'a rien lâcher belle performance
Bravo, deux grands combattants !!!
I would have grandet Le Banner a K1 title one time, all respects forbJerome...avgreat fighter
Jerome was like that's it I'm done now I'm going ..lol forget the trophy n pictures.lol
I laughed at that. He ran right into them
le banner le roi sans couronne mais la classe internationale, chapeau l 'arstiste, il a encaissé le coup de genoux round 3 comme un tronc d'arbre
.
Props to tyrone fighting at 196 lbs againts 265 Jerome both give us a great fight
Cette entrée de Le Banner je peux la voir ça fois, à chaque fois j'aurai des frissons
One fighter from old school is worth all the fighter of today combined.
Tyrone SpongeBob was the young up and coming super badass and he still is....talking about power.
bravo jerome et bravo tyrone beau combat
My right ear loved this
imagine jerome 15 years younger, it would be a massacre !
He was 30 kilos heavier and spong was completely inexperienced in this fight..
