The Most BRUTAL Kickboxing Fight of All Time - Jerome Le Banner vs. Cyril Abidi

I tell you what, I don't know if he has a cut.

Look at that.

Oh, my goodness.

He's swelling.

Cielo Bennett!

Cielo Bennett!

No elbow, no groin, no knee kick, no punching.

You don't have nerve when you fight yourself.

Don't take away opponent's stance.

Let's have a good fight.

There we go.

Well, we did see a touch of gloves.

I wasn't sure if we're going to see them.

Here we go.

Jerome LeBanner and Cyril Abadie.

Oh, right away, Jerome closing the distance.

Pushing Cyril down.

Cyril's limping a little bit.

He landed on the wrong or what, but he's limping a little bit.

Oh, that was a kick.

They call it a slip.

Right now, though, anything Jerome LeBanner can do.

LeBanner's just pushing him around.

Already looks like a war.

And he's liquid.

I'm telling you, I don't know what's going on, but Cheryl can't even stand up.

Pressing the action.

Oh, good right hand.

That might have hurt him.

LeBanner's trying to get him out quickly.

Oh, good left hand.

By the end of the month ago in Switzerland, then he also already looked very soft.

kick there by Cyril.

The crowd blows it.

And they weren't too impressed with it.

Oh, good combination.

Very good left hand.

The banner.

It looks like Cyril is still a little bit.

Good right hand.

Oh, the banner.

Trying to finish the fight.

Cyril's just trying to keep him off right now.

Oh, he went swinging for that right-handed miss.

And that's the end of the first round.

Interesting first round there.

Good round.

Good round for Jerome.

Scheduled for five rounds starting round two.

Ciro comes out firing with some kicks anyway.

Fire back.

Oh, that right landed him.

He said it was a slip.

He's still counting them, giving them a standing eight count.

Tell you what, LeBanner's bleeding, believe it or not.

Above his right eye, maybe?

He has a cut.

He has a cut.

Yeah, I don't see where it happened, but LeBanner is bleeding right now.

Yeah, look at the right eye of LeBanner.

It's right above him.

Doctor's going to work on the cut, make sure it's not a bad shot.

Oh, this is a good shot.

Don't get that bad.

He looks all right.

Referee says he's OK.

The doctor says he's OK. And let's go.

Maybe Seville's looking for that spot now.

And Jerome's going to try to make quick work of it.

Jerome pushes him down again.

Serra lands the best shots probably in the fight for him.

That looked like a good shot, yeah.

Both exchanging.

Levander trying to pull his way in to land the shots.

He lands a right.

Cyril trying to fight back.

He's missing with all those shots, though.

Oh, good uppercut by Levander.

Cyril just trying to keep him off.

Very good job, man.

But he has to hit more.

Jerome's problem many times is that he wastes his energy with missing shots.

But now he seems to hit everything.

Absolutely working the body.

Oh, good kick right on the chin.

Very action-packed second round.

I'll say this about Cyril, though.

He just does not stop throwing.

He continues to throw shots.

He's missing.

He's missing most of his punches.

It was like wasted energy.

And LeBanner continues to bleed from that cut.

Oh, good kick there by LeBanner.

That was very interesting.

And I tell you what, LeBanner, not only does he have a cut.

Look at that.

Oh, my goodness.

Look at that swelling.

Man.

The Banner's really got to get it going here.

But he has stayed busy and he's lost it.

Good right hand drops it.

The Banner drops every one, two, three, eight, nine.

The referee should stop the fight now.

LeBanner just misses with his right hand.

He's trying to get him out of there, but Alcero's still standing.

Good kick!

I think he's getting tired, too.

Rob Hanson's Abney back!

LeBanner smiles.

Alcero, Abney, I'm trying to watch how strong he's here.

What kind of chin does he got?

He's taking so many shots at the end of the third round.

How about that?

Wow, what a fight.

The swelling is just getting worse and worse.

Right now for LeBanner, look at that thing.

The doctor looked at it, wasn't happy to see LeBanner back.

Oh, nice right hand again.

LeBanner starting right where he stopped.

Good combination.

I can't believe he's still standing because he's taking some huge shots.

Taking some hard shots, yeah.

Cero coming back now with some right hands.

He doesn't have enough time right now.

Looks like Jerome's getting tired.

Yeah, Jerome's getting right tired.

Just as we say that, he lands some shots.

What a fight!

He had five rounds.

And at that time, yeah, Cyril looked like he kind of held the hand and landed the right hand.

But here comes another shot.

Oh, look at him standing 8-count.

Cyril's not happy about that.

His corner right now looks crazy.

Wow, the swelling is getting bigger and bigger.

Oh, man, I'm telling you.

Look at that.

It looks like a balloon on the top of Le'Veon's head right now.

It's just the swelling continues to increase.

Doctor puts, oh, there's a kick that drops Cyril there.

I think the doctors want to look at LeBanner's head.

Just look at that.

That is unbelievable.

That is too big.

They're going to let him still fight.

Wow.

Incredible.

I mean, that thing's the size of a softball now.

In Cyril's season, right now his core is gone and he just continues to put the pressure on so they have to stop the fight.

Cyril comes back!

Lance of Rights!

Unbelievable action!

And that's the end of the fourth round!

Will they let it go one more?

LeBanner and Abadie, they're going to a fifth and final round.

Man!

Here we go, final round!

Both fighters have just put on a furious pace for five rounds, and they continue to do so this fifth round.

Both guys still going toe-to-toe.

Talking about an amazing fight.

Both fighters just continue swinging for the fences here.

Absolutely.

A long time in the main game, and they deliver tonight.

K-1 in Paris.

Wow.

Who would have thought this is how the fight would have gone?

30 seconds left.

The crowd's letting him know it.
