I found this gem. It is largely considered one of the most important fights in US combat sports history. It opened many eyes to the effectiveness of Muay Thai. Just ask the Roufus brothers.

His older brother sounds ignorant in the post fight interview, saying their is no talent in leg kicks.
Fighting has evolved. I remember when I saw Royce for the first time and I thought 'that's not fighting.' LoLQuote:

He eventually came around and is now a well-respected coach.Quote:

That first round had me wow out loud a couple times. Awesome post I thought Roufus was going to comeback from those leg kicks and get the KO. He has heart but at a certain point the body fails.
