[Dkbiggs81]

Great video.. Wish he was still alive to this day. He made his country proud.

[samuraiyao]

Awesome tribute my brother.... Damn Boxing back then was a matter of life and death, survival to the fittest....

[Vl2404]

Thanks for the video!!! Now i'll search for a movie about his life 'champion'

[bimzki1]

I was just a young boy then while watching that tragic fight and then the news spread about the death of this great boxer. It was a shocked to the world! so sad...

I salute to this Great Warrior!!! R.I.P. DUK KOO KIM.. from a fan in Philippines.

@brianiscoll

Hello, I'm the maker of this video writing from my alternate account. The song I used for the second part of the video was taken from the movie, "Champion", a South Korean movie about the life of Duk Koo Kim.

[itsmister2u]

I didn't know Kim or watch boxing. But i won't forget the day i turned to our new HBO channel to see what was on. (back then HBO was the shit! If u had HBO, you were cool. It ment u had cable. Something new in 81-82') It was Boxing. And to my surprise i accually saw Kim get hit. He fell and died right their on live tv.

That man had some fighting spirit. Never went down and when he did he got back up.

[fruitsandpi]

[SOjuice]

[Sonofdarighthand]

Great fighter!

[CCampLl]

I remember this fight when I was a kid, Mancini was never the same.

[BHN893]

What was that first song?

[Eclecticmusician82]

Sorry for the delay. It's a bit of music from a Pride Fighting Championships dvd.

[BHN893]

@Eclecticmusician82

Would you happen to know the name of the song or the DVD? It goes great with the video.

[MuayBoranWarrior]

@BHN893 You can hear it on pride 5 it plays in the Sakuraba vs Belfort pre-fight highlight, right after the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu demo. They didn't show its name though... If you've found it already, please let me know.

[MuayBoranWarrior]

@Eclecticmusician82 If you still have the first track, could you please upload it or post a link to it as an mp3?

[nekrataal7]

great tribute video, Eclecticmusician82

do you happen to have a longer version of that tribute song? it was nice...

[ihatelifejosemartine]

R.I.P. DKK

[pandazs15]

i loved the movie and i have it i probably watch it all the time inspires me to become a boxer maybe one day excellent boxer and great music in the movie and u used some of it 5 stars thanx for the rare footage

[PhilloBaggins]

One punch didnt make that fight. Somethin was tickin God knows when.

[KingJ323]

5 Stars RIP DKK

Imagine if DKK won that fight which he could of very well have done and was on the track to. Imagine how that would of changed the world of boxing and involved ASIA more so much earliery on in history than in more recent times with Pacquiao and company

[Eclecticmusician82]

Indeed, man. I have not seen the whole fight in a while, but I remember it was very close with a lot of back and forth action. I'll watch it again and come up with my own scorecard. Deuk Koo Kim, like most South Korean fighters, was a warrior who pressed the action, an "always going forward" kind of boxer. They are some of the most entertaining and game fighters you'll ever find.

[poofly02]

awesome! thanks for the video! only true boxing fans would know of this boxer :) truely appreciate it :)

[Eclecticmusician82]

Thanks, man. I love boxing and I think it's a shame that some only know about DLH, Tyson, or Holyfield and don't know so many other great warriors like this one. Later.
