Text Chapter 1097 The Crown of Havana
Xiao Peng followed the prestige, well, it was not a trouble, the emotion was a boxing match.
Cuba's boxing level is quite high! Cuba's boxing status in the world amateur boxing is similar to that of Chinese table tennis in the world table tennis arena, for example, Olympic heavyweight boxing, since the beginning of this project, a total of 11 gold medals have been born, seven of which have been brought back to their hometowns by Cubans, and two of them have been superstars in the Stars and Stripes, so Cuba has not gone at allγγγγγγ
Boxing is known as the 'crown of Havana'. In Cuba, almost all people are trained in the whole country, and all people practice boxing. In Cuba, boxers are more loved than entertainment stars.
But there's one thing that's interesting. Cuba has banned amateur boxers from turning professional from 1962. However, there are also many amateur fighters who left Cuba to play professionally in the Stars and Stripes after becoming famous.
And then......
The results are called a rotten!
Except for the '92 Olympic gold medalist Casamamayor, who is considered a good fighter and has won the belt twice, everything else is a mess.
This is also understandable, boxing in Cuba is within the system, their food, clothing, housing and transportation are funded by the Cuban government, but in the completely commercial professional boxing world, their training is on their own, and they face various temptations that make it impossible for them to devote themselves to training. This is the so-called 'poor get rich'. By the time they come back to their senses and adapt to this lifestyle, the peak of their careers will be long goneγγγγγγ
But in any case, boxing is very popular here in Cuba, and there are often such rides on the streets of Havana, where tourists pay to fight fighters, and the fighters are only responsible for dodging and parrying.
These people who love boxing, after drinking a little wine and adding this atmosphere, it is natural to have a competition. They were used to it.
Garcia and Dana were very interested in the boxing over there: "Mr. Xiao, why don't you go over and have a look?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "We Chinese people love peace. β
Sun Pengcheng added on the side: "The key is that he doesn't look down on such rookies pecking at each other." β
Garcia was not surprised when he heard this: "Oh, that's right, Mr. Xiao is your friend, so naturally you can see a high-level martial arts competition." β
Sun Pengcheng couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this: "What kind of high level am I? I am also a rookie in Brother Peng's eyes." β
"Isn't it?" Garcia looked at Xiao Peng with wide eyes.
Xiao Peng smiled modestly after hearing this: "I have never practiced boxing, and it is not as exaggerated as Peng Cheng said." β
Three people talk in Chinese. Dana didn't understand, but she liked to watch boxing, and asked curiously, "What are you talking about? Why don't you watch it?"
Garcia shrugged: "They feel the level is too low. It's not worth moving. β
Heaven and earth conscience, his voice is really not loud, after all, there are cheers and shouts over there, but after he said this, the scene was dead silent. Everyone turned to look at Garcia, and the two fighters who were competing there also stopped comparing and looked at Xiao Peng and a few people together.
Seeing that everyone was glaring at him, Xiao Peng pointed at Garcia: "This is what he said!"
Garcia also reacted quickly, pointing at Sun Pengcheng: "It's that the level he said is too low!"
Sun Pengcheng stretched out his hand and wanted to point at Xiao Peng, but he took his hand back------- he didn't dare to point at Xiao Peng. So he sighed and said, "Okay, I said it." After saying that, he gave Garcia the middle finger.
"Comrade, in that case, let's have a match, right?" The person who was there just now threw a pair of gloves to Sun Pengcheng.
Sun Pengcheng smiled bitterly: "Can you not compare? I really haven't practiced boxing." β
"Do you know how to punch? Since you dare to look down on us in Cuban boxing, then compare with us and open our eyes." Someone shouted at Sun Pengcheng.
Dana was still very late, he knew Sun Pengcheng's identity, so he said: "Don't make trouble, haven't you heard: 'Never fight with Asians'?"
What she said, 'Never fight with Asians', is a series of videos that are very popular on 'You Tu Force', which is full of videos of various foreigners being beaten by Asians after a conflict with Asians.
Dana's words were originally well-intentioned, but they turned into ridicule in the ears of his compatriots, and now it's okay, there are more people who want to practice with Sun Pengcheng.
Sun Pengcheng had a bitter face: "Brother Pengγγγγγγ Obviously, what you said, why is it my turn?"
Xiao Peng blinked: "I didn't say it, think about it, who said it? What I said was 'We Chinese people love peace', and what you said was 'I don't look down on rookies pecking at each other'." β
Sun Pengcheng sighed: "But that's what you mean, don't you?"
Xiao Peng looked innocent after hearing this: "I don't mean that, I respect Cuban boxing, that's your own opinion, I just want to sit here and drink two glasses and be too lazy to move." Okay, don't talk to me here, are you trying to drag me into the water? Hurry up, don't make people wait. β
Sun Pengcheng sighed, stood up and put on his fist gloves: "Alas, can't you drink well?
Xiao Peng smiled and said to him, "Fight well." β
Sun Pengcheng's eyebrows furrowed even tighter when he heard this: "Brother Peng, I'm not practicing boxing, you don't let me fall or let me get out of my legs, but let me compare boxing with those who practice boxing, you might as well tie my hands and feet and fight with them." β
Garcia smiled: "It's best if you beat your nose and swollen eyes, it's just good-looking!"
After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng glared at Garcia: "It's all a good thing you made!"
Garcia shrugged: "What does this have to do with me? It's obviously something you made up yourself, Dana, remember to shoot the video, I want to keep it as a souvenir, I'm excited to think that Peng Cheng can be beaten, I didn't let Peng Cheng educate me when I was in school." β
Dana blinked: "I'll shoot it, but what I want to shoot is Mr. Sun's heroic appearance." β
That expression was so fake, even Xiao Peng knew her thoughts, these two people were as good as wearing a pair of pants.
"!" Sun Pengcheng gritted his teeth and turned to walk towards his opponent, feeling very 'sluggish and cold'.
"Mr. Xiao, why don't you go and take a look? You don't care if Peng Cheng wins or loses?" Xiao Peng didn't go over, but held a pig's trotter there and gnawed.
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "What's so good about that, Peng Cheng can't lose, so what else can you see? Good things are wasted. Roasting pig's trotters is not like you do. It is necessary to boil it with ginger cooking wine and other ingredients, then boil it in marinade, and then simmer it thoroughly to taste before roasting. If you bake it like this, all the good things are wasted. β
Garcia swallowed after hearing this: "Mr. Xiao, you are the person I know the most good at eating." β
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "What am I? There are more people in our country than I can eat! Those super-grade Chinese chefs are awesome." β
Garcia was speechless: "Are you really not worried about Pengcheng?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "What are you worried about? β
Garcia pointed to the crowd, "It doesn't seem like you're what you said." Peng Cheng is doomed to lose like this. β
Xiao Peng tilted his head and glanced at the beach, uh, okay, Sun Pengcheng is fighting with a young Cuban man, and he is still at a disadvantage depending on the situation.
It's not that Sun Pengcheng's physical fitness is not good, it's that the opponent's pace and dodge are really good.
Because of the commercial nature of this professional boxing, those referees in order to cater to the taste of the audience, make the scene of the game fierce and hot, so the game against each other, pushing, twisting and other actions that are obviously fouls are rarely punished. Amateur boxing, on the other hand, requires fairness and impartiality, and any violation of the rules is subject to immediate penalties.
This makes amateur boxing look good, that is, the pace is surprisingly good! The pace and dodging of amateur boxers are all good. In particular, there are only five rounds of amateur boxing, and the physical strength of the fighters can be better distributed, so the whole game is non-stop sliding, while professional fighters have to fight twelve rounds, and the fighters are generally moving in order to balance the distribution of physical strength. (Pacquiao made an exception, which was a sliding step for 12 rounds.) οΌ
And sliding is the soul of boxing, through the non-stop sliding step back and forth, resulting in the coherence of defensive counterattacks and quick dodge.
The best amateur boxer is definitely Zou Shiming of Huaxia. Zou Shiming won the Olympic championship not by his fists, but by his steps------ his pace was so fast that foreigners suspected that he had two wheels under his feet.
And he also brought into full play the guerrilla warfare tactics of his ancestors----- 'the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase', he relied on these 16 words and outstanding steps to win two Olympic gold medals and an Olympic bronze medal. Definitely the king of the 48kg ring.
Some people criticize his style of play, and he can't do it in the professional boxing ring------ please, Zou Shiming didn't change his career until he was 32 years old in order to win one more gold medal for the country! In this way, he also won the BO flyweight world boxing champion belt in the world's four major boxing organizations and won six consecutive professional victories! At that time, he was already 35 years old! What else do you want him to do?
If he had changed careers four years earlier, it would have been a different result!
And the young people who fought against Sun Pengcheng on the beach also had a great pace, playing around Sun Pengcheng like butterflies. Although the fist is not heavy, it also makes Sun Pengcheng nauseous enough.
This is really not Sun Pengcheng's level. He really couldn't hold and kick, which greatly limited his play. And he has not undergone systematic boxing training, and although boxing ends the game with heavy punches, if he wants to win the match, he relies on fast and light jabs. And Sun Pengcheng's martial arts training is to finish the opponent quickly, how can he practice jab?
"Lost?" Xiao Peng shook his head after hearing this, raised his head and shouted: "Pengcheng! Think about it, what would happen if Mengzi knew that you lost? β
Sun Pengcheng on the field heard the shape of his hand pause, and then suddenly moved, the speed startled everyone, only to hear a 'bang', and the opponent flew out.
Xiao Peng said lightly: "Now, Peng Cheng won, right?"
