Valtellini's rise through the ranks has been astonishing. He debuted at GLORY 6 ISTANBUL as an unknown. Three fights and three stoppage wins later he was ranked #2 in the world and second-favorite to win the GLORY 13 TOKYO Welterweight Championship Tournament. World #1 Nieky Holzken had other ideas though, stopping Valtellini in brutal, technically beautiful fashion.
One hell of a fight. Can't understand how this isn't WAY more popular.
Rj Katso yeah but people don’t understand it bro
Marketing bro....Bad marketing guys and not enoughf trash talk and show buisness.Thats what the "regular" people need.Elsway they like to watch a street fight between two unskilled 16 years old boy too.
@@matyasecsedi6022 People like to see a real bloody dogfight (mma).
yeah just flcked over from boxing to this much better
@@matyasecsedi6022 I don't WANT the trash talk. The respect that is displayed here and every other MMA league is WORLDS better than UFC ever thought about.
UFC need to promote glory way more. Kickboxing is everything any casual MMA fan wants to see. A stand up war
#KhabibTime #1 KHALABIB VS TONY HENDERSON! but yeah no that shit was awesome. Amazing fight.
Randy Lahey KHALABIB YOU FUCKS😂😭 The JRE community is strong. I shamefully only started watching glory when Rico fought Badr. These guys are so skilled
#KhabibTime #1 The first step is to get the fuck off ufc fight pass
that Fuck does ufc has to do with Glory LOL
Yair Valdez Glorys on ufc fightpass thats the only link to it that it has
$100,000 is a fucking joke. Look at the quality of this fight Jesus mother Christ of Holy Nazareth. This guys are true warrios wow!
Yeah and they fought already a match before that night...
its unfortunate that kickboxing and Muay Thai aren't more popular in North America
ya its sad. Most of these guys have 100 fights , some are 100+ , Thais are 200+.. and they don't get shit. It's sad. 1 day kickboxing will get the recognition they deserve.
moneyxl00 right? It just doesnt make any sense for these individuals to get paid garbage compared to Team sports where they have unions and contracts even if you are injured and cant play. ridiculous....
And this was their 2nd fight of the night. The 100k was for winning 2 fights. It's insane how tough Muay Thai and Kickboxers are.
What was really impressive about that fight was that Valtellini gave all he got at the end trying to win and finish the fight , not just stand and wait for the judges' decision. As a Nieky Holzkien fan I can say that this was awesome battle and Valtellini is also a winner in the fans' eyes !!!!
Buakaw is the real kick boxing king
Seriously ! He knew he was down on points and decided to just go for it instead of going to the judges
Fucking warrior
For real
100k is ridiculous for the amount of talent and heart on display here.
100k for 9 mins is solid bro I’d take that
@@Soupraaaaaait’s not just nine min, it’s years of being amateur not getting paid. Weeks and weeks of preparation for the fights where your busting your ass; It’s ALOT more than just 9 min bro. Not to mention you sign a death waiver and you can sustain irreversible damage.
one of the best fights i've seen since K1.
bbbbjhhhnbn nm bgg
YOU DONT WATCH MUCH fights :D
Nieky is amazing he deserved more $... his style is amazing for fans
I miss those k-1 days
chahid oulad el hadj vs mike zambidis its like the same
That was an awesome fight.Both Holzken and Valtellini delivered fireworks
Vatellini fought like a warrior.
The way Bazooka Joe fell at the end brought tears to my eyes.. Just leaving every on the table. Such heart and guts. My fav kickboxer of all time
Valtellini said on JRE that the knockdown that ended the fight had him concussed and unable to see any light for six weeks. Claimed that the doctors prescribed him all sorts of pain medication and muscle relaxers. He goes on to explain that he switched to CBD oil for inflammation and it helped him a lot. what a great fight.
great fight for sure. But on JRE he wasn't talking about this fight he was talking about the fight he won the championship in. After the fight Joe won the championship in he had all those issued and used CBD oil for recovery not this fight
yeah he was talking about the fight with de bonte, he got dropped with a vicious knee to the head (still won tho)
Alexander Garvin *CBD
Damn
It was the flying knee that uppercutted him in the chin and the follow up assault for the next 4 minutes that caused his PCSyndrome, but he took some good punishment from this tournament as well.
I dont know how the fuck Holzken took those leg kicks.
Dutch kickboxing. If you're an athlete who rose in that scene, you've literally been introduced to them extensively even before your first fight. Nobody makes it to A class, much less the world stage, without developing blocking and leg endurance.
@Blah b I couldn't agree more. Dutch kickboxers are notorious for their brutal sparring sessions. They blast each other with full power leg kicks everyday. That's why Joe Valtellini's low kick game which is usually crazy effective did not work here.
Blah b o
That challenger was a fucking venomous savage and surely one of the best fights full of consummately pleading kickboxing . Big up to the young challenger who lost phenomenal fighter
Jamrock K ya too bad joes retired now :/.. concussions had him messed up for a long time
Sad to hear about Joe great kid, somehow that cheque for 100k dident seem enough imo. Kind of fight you don't want to see anyone lose that ist liver shot sealed Joe's fate .
@@peterbalac1915 he has a gym in Scarborough check it out
@@thesurgeon6713 Cheers bud will do 🤙

And I wasted $$ money watching Mayweather vs Pacio. This is a REAL FIGHT!
who is Pacio?
:D :D yeah...
Pacio is in ONE FC MMA. Pacquiao is the one you're trying to mention.
Mayweather Vs. Joshua Pacio?
The world is an unfair and nasty place, Kickboxing deserves all the recognition and money
Can't believe they only offer the champion of this tough tournament $100,000. It's a joke!
Glory doesn't seem to make that much money so it's respectable
@mijitman926 lol ufc champions make millions
mijitman926 nah man mcgregor makes millions each fight
Fighters make no money...the rich bald pussies that own the companies do...just like all of us workers in the planet earth... maybe one day itl change like whe earth goes kaboom
Supply and demand, mate.
14:10 I love how Joe put everything on the line. It didn't pay off, but man, that's fighting spirit.
honestly coulda went either way
He was definitely down on the judges score cards so he had to go for the hail mary to get the KO victory. First round he won my opinion second was Holzken and third he was winning too.
Early stoppage
The commentator had incredible timing at 11:52
Lol "touch, touch, touch"
Shit, the guy was 10 seconds ahead of the other humans LOL
Amazing that you noticed that. 😂
Hell yeah 😂😂😂😂
Yup, thats Duke Roufus for ya.
I've never seen a fighter with such a heart and guts as Valtellini
My goodness, the sound of those leg kicks
It's a shame the fight ended the way it did, but damn Bazooka Joe is one of my favorite GLORY color commentators and I love his instagram content. Nieky is one of my favorite Dutch Kickboxers and man, what a bout.
Great fight, respect to both man. Nieky Holzken is definitely one of the best kick boxer ever! his technic is amazing.
along with Raymond dekkers!
+Tre' Roney Ramon
Michos NL My bad, was thinking about Raymond Daniels and Ramon Dekkers!,Lol who are the best female strikers in the world?
Yeah thought so. No worries. I think Jorina Baars:) Undefeated still in 40+ fights i think
+Michos NL thanks I'm an mma/kickboxing trainer, huge UFC fan and an occasional Glory fan. (I love kickboxing but glory doesn't come on tv much where I live. )
You want a newbie to know what kickboxing is? Show him footage of Nieky Holzken. Perfect technique. This also is one the best kickboxing fights i ever watched.
Sometimes hes wild a little, like against ghajji and doumbe
Zambidis vs chahid was my newbie fight.
Haha cool you said that, Holzken and Souwer are my fave kickboxers to watch. Perfect Dutch kickboxing.
@@francosamericanmusings1560 was waiting for someone to mention Zambidis vs Chahid
I wouldn't say that his technique is the best (He's wild and sometimes sloppy), but his application is second-to-none.
Holzkenn what an artist but Valtellini what a warrior !
Idk my man you can even see it in his eyes, and im pretty sure hes talked about it on podcasts, he for sure had real ass brain damage after fighting both his fights at glory 13. Dudes lucky he can still do light sparring. Idk why you'd do 2 fights in a day, fuckin crazy
Kickboxing tournaments are unnecessarily dangerous. The fighters go into the second fights dehydrated and concussed. The second fight is also not an reliable way to compare the skill of the fighters as they both just had wars with two completely different opponents.
The look of Valtellini after Round 1. He knew he already lost. What a warrior to continue.
Agreed Valtellini only 15 pro fight and even less of an amateur career.
true after that liver shot pfff damn, if i was that hahaha i would stay the fuck down😂
as a fan and practitioner of pure boxing style , i have to say that these kickboxers are great i love glory series!!!
One of my favourite fights , so clinical and efficient, nothing wasted. Great techniques and combinations. A beautiful fight to watch. I love Nicky Holzken’s style of fighting.
Great heart showed by Valtelini, this fight was incredible. Huge respect to both fighters
It’s like a young lion losing bravely to an old lion!!! What a fight🔥🙏🏼
That liver shot, daaaaaammmnnn
I've been downed by a liver shot before.The sound he makes is pretty much the only sound you can make. It feels like getting punched in the balls....but its in your liver.
It’s Niecky’s favourite shot
@@A.nasierkhan yup and you cant do anything about it, your blood flows out of your liver in one punch only way you can go is down to the canvas
One of the best kickboxing fights I ever have seen. Both fighters were very active, full of determination and action never stops. This KO just 0.5 a second before the bell was just spectacular! Huge respect to both of them!
Vatellini is a very nice man. Every time he lost, I felt sad.
It's amazing how a guy that only has a hand full of fights is standing toe to toe with one of the best.
This and the Schilling/Marcus fight are kickboxing at its best! I must've watched both at least 10 times by now!
What a warrior in Valtellini. And Holzken is just a masterclass.
That KO gave me chills. What an incredible fight. Those guys left it all out there. I'm sad I'm just now watching this... what a classic!
I loved this fight the 1st time I saw it, it stood up to the promotion. They stood and banged with each other until the last few seconds and Nieky finished with a ko and respect
Just listen to the power of their strikes and their combinations....one of the most intense fights i've ever seen
Those guys are Bangkok ready!!! Lmao great fight
George Moss lol. JRE squad
George Moss lmao
George Moss what episode was that from?
nah it's from one of the fight companion in january
bangkok is not ready :D
Holzken,... tough as hell, and a class act!
Can't wait for the rematch:) Great fight! Awesome! Nieky is a true worrier and I hope Valtellini comes back as good as he was before his injury
bless Joe what a warrior went out on his shield gave it his all. got to applaud that show of heart dude. nieky just a bit more crisp and savvy at each exchange, cool calm and cold
I was rooting for Joe but gotta give it to Nieky, dude was freaky calm the entire time.
that fight was frightening. especially the 1st round. not going to get hung up on the fact of 'if joe didn't get knocked in the final seconds'; great kickboxing match
It's still the best GLORY fight out there! Best representation of the sport!
The respect between these two warriors amazed me. Before I just watching UFC. Now, I'm A BIG FAN of Glory and these two Great Fighters!!
Comparing Joe to Gatti with Floyd present was like a curse to Valtelini. Gatti was beaten up so bad by Floyd it got painful to watch.
one of the best fights ever
Cheers JRE
that's one heck of a belt
Wow! Love this format, watching out for more!
good now i have something to watch all day, thanks
12:16 love the sneaky jab to get the guard up, then strip away to land the right overhand
This was such a good fight that I had to revisit it for the third time haha
Fantastic fighters! Focused, quick, powerful - both are joy to watch!
Holzken obviously performed well but, man, what a show of skill and heart for Joe.
that last exchange was fucking insane !!
all for a measly 100k .... meanwhile we are paying bozos millions of millions to run and play touch butt with a ball on a field. 🤯🤔 .... imagine medical bills , training camp , legalities , rent , food ... etc! Cmon pay the fighters‼️
Unfortunately, more people want to watch ball sports, so that's where the money is
measly 100k lol. yea
@lilmayo most fighters get paid horseshit, it's literally only a handful of guys at the top that make crazy money. Lots of low tier pro fighters have day jobs.
mjstecyk you have zero business acumen my friend. Fan support and viewership is one of the biggest factors in athlete pay. The bigger the cake the bigger your piece of the cake will be. Also, what sports are you comparing “fighting” to? If you compare MMA organizations across the board there aren’t big pay discrepancies amongst the top. The UFC holds the biggest market value in this oligopoly despite not paying fighters the highest. This tells you fighters consciously choose where to fight and prefer legacy and prestige over pay and sponsorships.
Man, you are too damn much right. It is crazy that footballers receive millions for that
Nieky hit him with a beautiful right cross! He's always so calm in ring great composier. Luv watching his handy work. The Natural!
What a fight! Definitely one of the best glory kickboxing fight. Both Nieky and Valtelini are the great technical fighters. I'm sure that this video is a lesson for fighters in the fight clubs.
The beginning of the end of Joe's career, an amazing fight tough.
Come on Glory, settle down on the description. Gave away the result before i even started watching.
One of the best from fight i've seen...
The most relentlessly action packed fight of two technical gods ever! perfection ! my faveourite fight of any ruleset !
Big respect to both fighters 💪
really close fight....but I wanna say Dutch kickboxing is here to stay Thanx to Ramon Dekkerd and now nieky holzken. glory needs to come to nyc again and again...
+LAMLM24/7/365 Badr Hari, Alistair Overeem? I mean, Overeem is now in the MMA world but he was one hell of a kickboxer
+Alphaman true indeed, overeem was good, but he's a super heavy weight right? that dude who look like he was doing R&B videos with toney braxton. As of right now though troy sponge is crazy nice too.
LAMLM24/7/365 Troy sponge lmaooo
Peter Aerts, Ernesto hoost.................................
the dutch are masters of kickboxing
This has to be one of the bets K1 matches I've ever seen, there's no such thing as seeing both fucking eachother up non stop, shows how much heart they have they want it.
2 of my favorite fighters. Love these guys
The best fight of my life!!!
GRAN PELEA, me encanto las combinaciones que hacían estos dos guerreros 💪😉👍
One of my favorite kickboxing bouts! Joseph has so much heart! Nieky is such a beast though.
That fight was incredible to watch live. Edge of the seat, and then the surprise in the last seconds...I hated to see Bazooka Joe lose, but he still gained so much from this fight, in so many ways, all the same. An epic kickboxing fight.
this fight was crazy
6:52 anyone notice K1 max fighter yoshihiro sato in the back
One of the best fights I’ve ever watched
Big fan of both fighters. My favorite match ever.
So Floyd admitted he likes contact sports but did not know who Conor is.
He did know who he was, Floyd's ego just felt threatened.
Of course Floyd knows, that's just Floyd being Floyd
Jo Seow I didn't know who Conor was until he fought Chad Mendes. Lol
Gary Sanchez Which is about normal for mainstream people, I'd say.
lmao, it's not my fault. He just flew past my radar. I have favourite fihgters from other promotions, but I heard about michael page before I heard about conor. lol
Would not expect to see Floyd there lol. Let's get him in there with Conor.
Connor would clobber him in a kickboxing match
Matthew Hurley exactly, Floyd won't do MMA so they should meet in the middle.
wow good job.. now they have everyones money...lol
Nieky trained with Mayweather for his boxing matches
dude the speed and power of those leg kicks is INSANE
One of the best Kickboxing matches I’ve ever seen , two great warriors kicking ass with precision and skill , and WILL !
Holy shit. Their shots make the same sounds that axes on wood make.
As someone who has trained Muay Thai since I was a child, the idea of not using elbows and the clinch is still fascinating to me. I suppose it makes things more interesting for the crowd, but I will never understand why Glory allows knees and not elbows.
MAYH3M0NE maybe because elbows lead to more cuts and fights can be ended more often due to blood rather than extended action. also notice when the knees are fired there is not much clinch maybe a quick head pull to aim the technique but no legit clinch work. it's really to produce fights like this where there is much more action at a quicker pace to keep fans interested. I appreciate it for what it is, if you want knees dumps vicious elbows and clinch work (which are awesome) watch Muay Thai. if you want Dutch style kickboxing and power combinations watch Glory (and maybe classic k-1)
it's just traditional kickboxing
11:54 jab, uppercut, left hook, lead uppercut, left hook, liver shot. What a beautiful combination
Yeah he's got great hands, the influence Ramon Dekkers had is so obvious in many ways.
One of the best fights ive seen.
They rallied up on those combos👏! Joe got dropped in the last 6sec. of the the final round, shit that was epic🙌!
such an insult to win a world championship just to get paid 100k , after training expenses , commision , tax he will be lucky to come out with half.
This is an underrated fight for sure the whole sport is underrated !! this level of kickboxing is unreal
One of the best fights I have ever seen
Better than ufc
This dude Nieky is Forreal,after he washed Cosmo I became a fan.
You should see Artem Vakhitov the top fighter in the light heavy weight division this guy is fire works
Great fight both great fighters congrats to NH and much respect to JV for being so friggin tough!
12:00 that knee and left hook are nasty. It's impressive that Joe lasted as long as he did.
Nieky amazing!
the commentator is now in wwe lel
seriously?
Stfu. Mauro Ranallo is the fucking man. He not only commentates kickboxing and professional wrestling, but also MMA, boxing, ice hockey, and canadian football.
what the fuck is canadian football?
HiatusAeternum Same thing as Brazilian frisbee.
And? Thats fucking gangster and hes always wanted to do it. Hes called kickboxing, mma, and now wwe. guy is a pro and gets to travel the world and no hes not my dad
Holzken's simple game plan, get Bazooka into his combination mode and start countering him. Everyone has seen Bazooka drilling those punch combination and ending it with a low kick. Now here's the cool thing, when Holzken does his combo and end with low kick, Bazooka responds with his own combo and end with a low kick. When Bazooka started responding with his combinations, Holzken started countering, leads to knock out. Lesson learned: Develop fight IQ, stop wasting time on combinations.
This might be the best recent Kickboxing fight of this time, highlighting greatly how much kickboxing has evolved
Joe Valtellini was a FOOKIGN LEGEND!
Fucking awesome fight. Love Holzken
Loveing this Contact Sport movement. U can tell the well being of the fighters is #1. This gives me motivation Osu!!
Joe had 3 awesome wars in Glory. Sad that his career was over way too early
Yeah, he was a great fighter, a true warrior in the ring
zwaar verdiend! zo doe je dat!
14:10 💯WOW!!!!
one of the best kick boxing match ever.loved the whole fight...
Joe is an awesome leg kicker and Nieky is just so composed and great at picking his shots
