Andy Hug vs. Ernest Hoost - K-1 GP '99 FINAL

[FromPoetryToRap]

few more lowkicks and andy wouldve gone down

[strikewzen]

andy likes to hug

[nara97470]

@ukpian8941 if 48 fights in K-1, 38 wins (22 KOs), 9 loss and 1 draws does not mean something to you, just look at the vid and stop saying bullshit man! You have your opinion, that's a fact...but he's not pathetic...praticing and being a legend in kick boxing, muay thai or whatever, means fight till the end, no way to escape, you just stay and fight even if it's difficult

[ukpian8941]

they both performing terribly but the white guy shouldnt be in the ring, he should be behind a desk hes pathetic

[stabbins84]

@ukpian8941 I hope that's sarcasm or something. Do your homework on Andy Hug. I'd take out more time to steer you in the right direction but I just don't want to. However I will take a moment and say leukemia and a broken toe also, if you don't know your history don't say shit.

[TimichCop]

[Plato86]

Andy hug is a legend with few equals, Ernesto Hoost is one of them.

[kzinhow10]

Andy Hug is the best!*

[fsLeSerenity]

some one with serious disease could fight til the last round without getting down and could make a person as tough as ernesto hoost had nose bleed.. Andy is a very2 great fighter. i wish he never had those fucking leukimia.

[florianamok]

two legends. one great fight. RIP ANDY.

[jerryx2000]

6 Months after this Andy died of Leukemia 

[Kariakas]

There's no shame to losing to Ernesto Hoost, one of the greatest K1 fighters ever. This is truly a dream fight, 2 of the best going at it.

[AintDoneYet123]

why is the 96 match between this 2 is flagged?? im 16 and i love kickboxing it ticks me off not able 2 watch it on the internet when its supposed 2 be free for everybody :(

[avreeves]

@AryanBulgar .....smh

[F91yzg]

Andy looks sick... :|



[Kogel1986]

@F91yzg

yea he does.. :(

[TenTonHorse]

What were Andy Hug's legs made of? I've never seen anyone be able to withstand those leg kicks.

[SuperBraslav]

andy was not affected by leukemia in that time because acute is something very fast and deadly...diseases like acute leukemia in this case could start max 40 days before he died.Andy had leukemia for few days or 2 weeks maybe before he died. If he had classic leukemia I think he and all of his trainers would see that earlier and andy would stop fighting and went to kemotherapies and could very likely be cured....he was the best fighter of all time and to me always no.1

[CIKABAJA75]

mirko crocop filipovic is the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MRpuff420]

@CIKABAJA75 compared to andy? hell no

[CIKABAJA75]

@MRpuff420 hell yeah

[tarjaa100]

[zeebatork]

I felt awful watching this since Andy is dead

[Danko5121]

only 9 months later he died...RIP Champion!

[2ossy]

I wish I can fight at a place like that!!! Just for one time..

[jakkri1]

how died andy hug?

[UffieM]

@jakkri1 acute leukemia :/

[Brunopzabotto]

What event it was, I still can remember when I was a teenager and use to watch that on the TV with my father, good times.

[Cl0udyDayz]

Andy's spirit is indomitable. he never gives up.

[VomitShovel]

Damn what a fight.They say every time someone takes a shin to the face - Andy Hug smiles.

[liorkle]

Hug is badass because his last fight was 5 weeks before he died of leukemia! Hardcore!!

[kingoftheswing000]

@liorkle totaly !!! and HE WON !!!!!!!!!!!!! + his fight a few weeks before was crocop IN HIS PRIME which he beat as well......so yeah total badass indeed.

[tonketijuana]

haha minute 8 45 that guy in the ropes haha

[tonketijuana]

haha minute 8 45 that guy in the ropes haha

[CastlegrinderTJ]

2 Incredible athletes. This is true determination.

[TheErik863]

andy hug precis k1

[Rikortez]

FUCK THIS FUCKING ADS

[Wolfshamil]

Great 2 wariors

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

That was a good match

[quidsummiser]

part 2 from wikipedia, why andy lost this match: ..: ....As early as in the first round, the groin injury that he had sustained a month earlier became acute. This handicap was so severe that he could not employ his legs as he was used to doing, and dropped a decision...

infact he doesn´t drop any high kick or low kick for 2 last rounds. Hoost is an amazing fighter but what a pity that Andy was injured. God bless them both.

[quidsummiser]

from wikipedia that´s why andy hug lost. let´s notice, he was already 35 years old, impressive age for that level of fight: ...1999 was the most successful year for K-1 since its inception. Record numbers of spectators were recorded for all tournaments. In the first half of that year, Andy provided his fans with sensational fights. However at the World Grand Prix, fate wrecked his plans. In the second bout, he was up against Ernesto Hoost...

[Raquel5500]

Esse Andy Hug é muito duro. Deve ser irmão de Volverine. Pq tem o esqueleto de titânio. Nunca ví um cranio e femû tão duro na vida!

[TheAron85]

Those K1 tournaments were stacked with legendary kickboxers. Andy and Hoost meeting in the quarter finals. Mr Perfect was on in that fight but Hug showed ridiculous

amount of heart to not go down from the shots he took especially to his legs and kept coming foward.

[codmw2profi]

Andy hug lost the match because he was in the phase of leukemie

[FatWalruses]

@codmw2profi How dare you diminish my fellow dutch citizen. Even if hug didnt have leukemia, Ernesto would have won.

[josh89josh]

@FatWalruses

Man you haven't any idea. Hug fights with a broken toe! six months later he died.

He had also won a fight against ernesto 1996 in the final.

[nww135]

hoost has some sharp shins

[superpiekarnik]

andy rules!

[VoodooUprising]

ernesto hoost; one of greatest heavyweight  kickboxer of all time!

[arikat1]

@VoodooUprising well it's either him or rob kaman. Can't think of anyone else...

[pitersony]

hoost the best



[BiGpsyke]

[Jery30917]

[desimation]

5:30 to skip the prefight crap

[lolzkaful]

@desimation it's people like you that keep YouTube alive

[hypers53]

@desimation  gracias amigo jaja

[JasperTrollhound]

@desimation This is the type of comment/highest rated comment I like to see, not this "Oh I hate it when this happens" or "Thumbs up if plz" crap, ones that actually contribute and aren't a spoiler.

[dadamager3000]

@desimation i actually like watching intros

[chiconspiracy]

I think Hug had the most heart, but for pure skill, Hoost is probably supreme. The way he combines punching and kicks is a thing of beauty. Also his defense was great. Look at the replay at 9:17 where he ducks that punch. For a tall guy to do that against a shorter guy is DAMN hard.

[KAZUSHIKIMINOUE]

Every time I watched Hoost fight, my knees would hurt. Every time I watched Hug fight, my shoulders would ache, lol.

[sinferno]

@akirakira94 i am agree !!

[BreakDancerAndre]

notice how ernesto host uses his high advantage pulling andys head down all the time depressing to look at

[chiconspiracy]

@BreakDancerAndre

Yeah..common in Muay Thai,and they do that in Kyokushin too... Hug was used to fighting taller fighters, he had his own advantages, and probably didn't complain about it.

[essel71]

RIP Andy Hug..RIP Jan Plas..

[Arminsaf2]

What an awesome fight! Pure beauty!

[SvenSvenSvensen]

at the end of the day ernesto hoost is still a dirty stinkin jigaboo who gives everyone he meets the boo boo jeebies

[TheDeadComeBack2Life]

''Earnest Hoost'' lol wat a name

[Keelo977]

14:42 like in a videogame :D

[hajabuso]

andyyy gołym ch....m* jeża nie ubijesz....czas minął..odeszłeś tam tworząc niezniszczalną armie......nie zachowuj sie banalnie...nadstawiając pyska gubiąc sie moralnie.....BO TO BOLI WIDZIEĆ MISTRZA GDY UPADNIE...ANDY?DOBRY POJEB JESTEŚ...ANDY NA ZAWSZE.....zaciśnięta pięść...

[killstroyer]

R.I.P ANDY HUG



[perugia4]

The instrumental song that it's heard in the pause between rounds has a name???

Where i can find it???

[DutchPetriot]

What a fight !

[ssjanime250]

they need to televise this in north america.

[DaBhaalspawn]

@jowrab

It's like they're saying Overeem's on roids cause he got big quickly.

People can't get over seeing someone do something they dream they could, but can't, so they start making shit up.

[DaBhaalspawn]

@jowrab

That steroids thing was because he got buff fast, but it was WAY before anything like leukemia even began to show

[mamixpaterno]

A PENSARE CHE UN ANNO DOPO SAREBBE SCOMPARSO....ANDY IL MIGLIORE!!

[Mitkopwn2]

He looks bad here is he sick then ? I mean lots of muscle loss and his face omg the look.Horrible. R.I.P

[DaBhaalspawn]

@Mitkopwn2

Lol, he was diagnosed that disease in 2000, a year or so later.

But I read he was injured in this fight, so he wasn't at 100%.

Still, I believe he took too much damage in the first round.

He really was the best. Every single video I see of him just fills me with awe. May he rest in peace

[TYHgigi]

05:41 for the fight

[shawanld]

ya man long live andy hug and his lengdairy axe kick

P.S will alll ways know as one of the best

[shawanld]

[turleszzz]

ANDY  HUG LEGEND OSU!!!!!!!

[NeonPenpeko]

andyhuggod!!!



[jacktheripper00]

well I've seen other videos of Andy and in this case there's no doubt that Hoost beat him up... maybe he was not in good shape, or maybe he did not trained well for the match.

[beerndumplings]

skip to 3:34 for andi

[ZuercherNo1]

the nigga has blood on his fat lips! and the wiiiiiiinnner iiiiiiiiiiiiis aaaandiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!

[onamemmet]

@ZuercherNo1 takes a real quality faggot to get bold and racist from the safety of your bedroom, bitch.

[ZuercherNo1]

@onamemmet ehy  are you stupid? go fuck yourself! whats your problem, men? BITSh

[harisworks]

This was December 1999 and Andy was diagnosed and died in August 2000. Now when you see, you can realise him not being 100% because of his leukemia which even he was not aware of. RIP Andy, a great warrior.

[Xsernoob]

I think that the guy who was playing the music taught that Andy would like We Will Rock you from Queen cause of his moustache LOL

[Beastie06]

Funniest fight ever.

[18StolzeBasler93]

Made by Swiss!!!!! Andy we never forget you!!!!

[GioTheKiller00]

how much time have to die?

[datniggajesus]

@GioTheKiller00 one of his last fights is VS crocop in 2000, he died in 01' i think

[GioTheKiller00]

@datniggajesus ok thanks

[deadlykoori]

[thehymner]

damn good fight

[tataso]

Genioooo Andy  !!! el mejor Kickboxer de todos los tiempos !! un verdadero artista marcial.

[yutaca2010]

Andy , he is my hero.

[cristib12007]

the announcer sucks ass

[frivolas]

what a different combat from the '96 one. Hoost came to this one with a much more aggressive spirit, no wonder why he won. Great fight from both of them, but Andy fought out of his senses for 2 rounds. Luck or technique, great fight from great champions. RIP Andy Hug

[anastasia399]

what a fight pur adrenaline just by watching it rip andy

[redblazerpea]

hoost and hug always had great fights. its a shame people like brock lesnar and pac man get 100 times the pay and attentioncompared to these legends. they dont come close to these 2 guys.

[baisan0]

that's ....so true !

[temperex]

@redblazerpea Brock- no , pacquiao - yes he does, he's a living legend

[redblazerpea]

@temperex but at least pac gets the money and recognition! andy and ernesto got a tiny fraction of what he gets and its unfair. but these guys are higher than pacman no disrespect. this is k1. the big daddy of strikesport.

[temperex]

@redblazerpea that's very true, ernesto and andy never got the recognition they deserved :( and as much as I love boxing, you're right k1 is where the real big boys play.

[zyclonb6]

@redblazerpea UFC is garbage K! no hype no bullshit good fights

[redblazerpea]

@zyclonb6 for real man!

[anglorob]

@zyclonb6 valid point, lets pretend though that we dont know who bob sapp is ;)

[KAZUSHIKIMINOUE]

@redblazerpea I'd say pac does, pac has always brought the fight like Andy did, fighting whoever and almost whenever.

[redblazerpea]

@KAZUSHIKIMINOUE but like i say pac gets the fame and glory. how many people know of hoost and hug apart from real fightsport fans?

[soulblader7]

@redblazerpea I totally agree with you on Lesnar, but manny is a boxing legend man

[redblazerpea]

@soulblader7 yeah pacman is great. but at least he gets the fame and glory. he earns more in a few fights than these two combined in their whole career.

[ThreeofakindBandAC]

@redblazerpea you´re definately right!

[azaproc]

cup noodle LOL 8:52

[especiitati]

andy is not the same best fighter here :( u can see he will die soon

[especiitati]

rip Andy hug.

[MrTAKALEX]

二人ともガードの技術が高いからいつもこのカードは激しくもつれ­た試合になるね。

[Kirgo6774]

that day, ernesto had more juice :) but good fight :)

[jeffTizzo]

A little known fact heading into this fight was that Andy had torn his hamstring on a tv show demonstrating his axe kick 6 weeks before the fight...Doctors believed he should not fight-Of course Andy thought he should! He was not 100% that is for sure and you could see the pain in the third round...what fighting spirit!
