| Kassrioui challenged Ramon for a rematch. It happened on
November 1997 in Amsterdam. Even though the injuries were starting to plague
Ramon on a frequent basis outside the ring, he never brought those injuries
inside the ring as excuses. He would always face fighters with full intent,
even in rematches. Hassan Kassrioui was one of these great fighters that had
fought Ramon before and had
lost to Ramon. Some people in the press expressed some doubts concerning
the outcome of the previous fight. But this time, Ramon Dekkers made sure
there was absolutely no room for doubt because no excuses were left after
this fight. |
