      What I took away from Danny by learning from videos. Was sweeping the legs out as I can't kick high and his block the straight and turn them out. I learned this from his fight against Ramon Dekka. Ramon threw the right Danny cross cover parried with his right simultaneously reaching his left arm straight through hooking Ramons neck. Then as soon as the right landed Danny came over with his right pivot on his left foot. Swung his rear leg around momentarily moving Ramon into his right knee. It's a sweet move and can pull it rather easily.
      His cadence was spectacular he just knew when to throw. Picking shots from out of the air. His hips are so very flexible too.

    training with him during 2002 and 2003, i became a better nakmuay. he's unbelievable. Sparring with him made you a lot better cause in order to survive (lol) you got to think during the sparring session but on your way to home, in your bed etc... "i gotta find something in order to not get beaten like before..." he taught me by destroying me and sometimes giving some "tricks"... after sparring with him and other french champs (like Biga, Saban, M'baye, Konaté...), you fear nobody.

    One of the few foreign fighters I enjoy watching for his style and grace. It's rare to see someone standing toe-to-toe with a veteran Thai fighter from Thailand, but it's so much more rare to find someone doing it with as much style, finesse, and beautiful technique as a Thai fighter from Thailand.

    Dany Bill has forever been the GOAT Foreigner for me. Dekkers wasn't on this dudes level at all.
    Thing with Dany is he fought LIKE a Thai but had the build of the foreigners which was usually stronger and bigger in a sense. Bill was a phenom with reflexes and eyes such as Oley and Somrak - not as sharp as them imo, but close.
    A shame he never kept himself in shape - would have loved to see some exhibition fights when he got older like many of the older Thai's do.

    That's some beautiful stuff there! I have the impression that they weren't "grinding" a Jocky Gym but rather "playing" which is why they're such good technicians. "Grinding" makes you tough, but "playing" makes you technical.

    I remember signing up for muay thai class in a small gym in Paris suburb (13 years ago) . It was my first time doing martial art, I didn't know anything about muay thai. Dany was giving the class 3 times a weeks, the membership was dirt cheap compare to the gym in the us. I had a great time learning fightings and the discipline of the sport. He is legend but before that he is an humble guy, passionate and there for the next generation.
