Robin "Pokerface" van Roosmalen is a Dutch welterweight kickboxer, fighting out of Den Bosch, Netherlands. Van Roosmalen trains at Fight Club Den Bosch under his father William van Roosmalen,[1] the only man to knock out William Beekwilder and Vitali Klitschko in kickboxing. Van Roosmalen is currently under contract with It's Showtime. He is known for his aggressive high paced style.

As of December 2012, van Roosmalen is ranked the #3 middleweight in the world by LiverKick.com.[2]

Biography and career

Van Roosmalen made it to the Semi-Finals of the K-1 World MAX West Europe Tournament by beating Henri van Opstal in the Quarter-Final. He lost his Semi-Final bout against the eventual winner Mohammed Khamal by KO.[3]

After losing another fight against Ajay Balgobind, Van Roosmalen rebounded by knocking out Dutch slugger William Diender with a liver punch and beating the highly regarded Dutch-Moroccan Chahid Oulad El Hadj by decision. On the 21st of May, 2011, Van Roosmalen met Mohammed Khamal in a rematch in Amsterdam. He lost the match by judges' decision.

On the 25th of September, 2011, Van Roosmalen won the It's Showtime "Fast & Furious 70MAX" title in Brussels. He beat Chahid Oulad El Hadj for the 2nd time by TKO in the second round, Chris Ngimbi by decision and Artur Kyshenko by KO in the first round. Van Roosmalen had entered the tournament as a replacement for 70MAX giant Giorgio Petrosyan, who had injured himself in his fight against Hinata, and was seen as an underdog to win the tournament over the more highly ranked and experienced Artur Kyshenko.

In addition to his kickboxing training, van Roosmalen also holds a black belt in judo.[4]

He was drawn against Tim Thomas in the quarter-finals of the Glory 3: Rome - 2012 Middleweight Slam Final 8 on November 3, 2012 in Rome, Italy[5] and won by TKO in the second round when battered the Englishman into a referee stoppage. In the semis, he dropped Sanny Dahlbeck in each of the first two rounds before finishing him with a punch to the body in the third. Advancing to the final, he went up against Giorgio Petrosyan. His aggressive style played into Petrosyan's hands, however, and he was outclassed by the silky Italian to a unanimous decision loss.[6][7]

He took a dominant unanimous decision over Yuichiro Nagashima at Glory 4: Tokyo - 2012 Heavyweight Grand Slam in Saitama, Japan on December 31, 2012, dropping "Jienotsu" in round one and scoring with low kicks and hard punches throughout.[8][9]

He dropped Murthel Groenhart in round one en route to a unanimous decision win at Glory 7: Milan in Milan, Italy on April 20, 2013.[10][11][12][13]

He beat Shemsi Beqiri by unanimous decision in a back-and-forth fight at Glory 10: Los Angeles - Middleweight World Championship Tournament in Ontario, California, United States on September 28, 2013.[14][15][16][17]

He rematched Davit Kiria in the semi-finals of the Glory 12: New York - Lightweight World Championship Tournament in New York City, New York, US on November 23, 2013, winning a unanimous decision.[18][19] In the final, he was battered by Andy Ristie, getting dropped in round one before being knocked out in two.[20][21][22][23]

He will face Marat Grigorian in the co-main event of Glory 15: Istanbul in Istanbul, Turkey on April 12, 2014.[24]
