these 2 are real warriors,the times when prince amir,gurkan ozkan,ian jacobs,jenk behic,beris nezif,hamza tibet and few others fought were the best kickboxing times for me.
Ian said that by the end of the fight the mental trauma, physical pain and exhaustion were so intense that he had to fight to stay conscious for half an hour afterwards. Ian was also urinating blood for weeks after the fight...
Isn't this the epic 1996 fight against the turk, Gurkan Ozkan. Ian was meant to be in a plaster cast on a broken leg sustained only weeks before. The doctors in Brisbane, who gave Ian his medical, told him he was not allowed to fight unless he could fight with the plaster on. In Melbourne he tore the plaster off when the doctors there said he couldn't fight with it on. He cracked his kneecap on the other leg, broke his sternum and was blinded in one eye by the end of the first round.
I know this man personally,trained with him at the stafford gym for many years and he is a freak of nature.Ozkan the "Supreme Fighting Machine"??Now that was only self promotion mate..and by the way ian just recovered from a broken leg after beating sam solimon at another fight in brissy..
The "Supreme Fighting Machine" out of ideas once he realised the Powerhouse wasn't going to cave in from his single shots. Jacobs looked like he could go another 5 rounds. Thanks man. That was a piece of history I never got to see until now.
I am not saying that Ian is a bad fighter, I think you misunderstood me. At the time Ian looked skinny compared to Gurkan. I belive he threw more punches that scored on the night than Jacobs.
A draw would have probably been the best result. Never the less, it will go down as one of the mosdt epic fights in Australian kickboxing history.
Just for the record...IJacobs has done so much for the sport in Australia and in particular Qld, so I am not dissing the guy one bit. He is a champion.
cheers ronniedoll, all good...Ian's still doing everything he can for everyone he can in the sport, there's a few out there that are very us and them, Ian is so neutral with all that and won't get involved in the politics he simply loves the sport and industry. We have a huge plan to spread the sport further in QLD and can't wait, it starts in Mackay on Sept 6.
@ronniedoll Its almost unbelievable you could have even made such a moronic comment, Ian Jacobs hunted him from the outset, hunted him hunted him & hunted him.
i feel like the commentators are so bias

Ian won this, its easy 2 c why, Ozkan always runs out of steam in a fight that goes all the way..
I remember when all the talk was about these2 , even Ozkan said that Ian was the man!

Ozkan should have won this. Jacobs is a skinny runt compared to the Supreme Fighting Machine!
