Dekkers vs Coban - The Rivalry | Muay Thai Highlights

Ramon Dekkers vs Coban Lookchaomaesaitong - fight highlights of all 4 of their encounters.

The Dekkers vs Coban fights are some of the most famous match-ups of a generation. Both fighters possessed huge heart and refused to give in, which made these battles legendary.

Fight #1 took place in Paris, France on April 21st 1991. The fight ended very quickly, with Coban knocking out Dekkers in the very first round with a left hook.

Later that year on August 6th, Dekkers seeked revenge for hs earlier defeat. This time, the Thais had invited Dekkers to the most prestigious of Thai stadiums - Lumpinee. The fight was televised around the world, and Coban was the clear favourite to take the victory once more.

What happened in that fight will remain in the memories of fight fans forever - Dekkers knocked out the Thais 2x Lumpinee champion in their own stadium. This is the first time such an event had occurred - a foreigner getting a KO victory over one of the best in Thailand - at Lumpinee!

The scores were even - one KO victory for Dekkers and one for Coban. The scene was set for another epic battle...

February 28th 1992 Samut Prakan, Thailand, was the time and place of the much-anticipated 3rd bout between the pair. Both fighters started much slower in this matchup, both knowing that they were only one hook away from defeat. However, Coban prevailed after knocking Dekkers down twice in the fourth round and getting the points victory. This almost looked like a stroll in the park for Coban; a very comfortable victory in his own back yard.

In 1993, the fourth and final bout took place in the same place as the first - France. Dekkers was keen to even up the scores, and did so with a points victory after some great middle kicks.

Final tally:
Ramon Dekkers 2
Coban Lookchaomaesaitong 2
