Every boxer has their nickname, and Mayweather is no exception. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
However, unlike nicknames such as bullets and heavy gunners, which are explosive at first glance, Mayweather's nicknames are much more unusual and unusual.
Because Mayweather has a good body, quick reactions, and is good at hugging and dodging, he rarely gets injured in fights, and his face is always clean after boxing matches, hence his nickname.
Pretty boy.
If you haven't watched Mayweather's fight or don't know Mayweather, you won't associate this nickname with a professional boxer, but it's such a title, and it's the loudest nickname in the welterweight division of professional boxing today.
At the end of the game, Mayweather enjoyed the cheers of the crowd as usual.
Tang Hao and other fighters left the audience one after another, for them, the boxing match is over, and the things they want to see have been watched, and it is a waste of time to stay on the scene any longer.
Tang Hao and Zhuang Jiajie walked out under the escort of two bodyguards.
Because the competition was very fierce, Tang Hao didn't have time to go to the toilet, and after coming out at this time, he greeted Zhuang Jiajie, and then went to the public toilet, where a bodyguard was waiting for him at the door.
Because he came out early, there was no one in there at this time, and he was about to come out after washing his hands after going to the toilet.
Just then, he heard voices coming from the next door, one of which sounded familiar.
Driven by curiosity, he did not immediately go out, but stood outside the wall and listened.
"Mr. Robert, please make sure I am my sparring partner, I know you're going to have to compete with pretty boys, and I'll be up to the job. The familiar voice said.
"Kim, I know that you have been a sparring partner for two months with a beautiful boy, although I also want to hire you, but I also know the conflict between you, and he has released cruel words, saying that whoever dares to hire you in the future will be against him, so I am also very sorry. A deep voice came, and it looked like it was a fighter.
Hearing the word "gold", Tang Hao reacted immediately, this voice seemed to be the homeless man he met in the alley half a month ago?
He's a boxing sparring partner?
And is it still Mayweather's?
This...... It's too much of a coincidence, right?
"No, Mr. Robert, you need to win, victory is what you need, you don't have to care about the rest. The familiar voice continued.
"No, Kim, you don't understand professional boxing, the outcome of the fight is important, but there are some things that are more valuable than the victory. ”
"Mr. Robert, I really need this job, and you need me very much. The familiar voice bordered on pleading.
"Stop, you don't have to say any more, my promoter has been waiting outside long enough, and I don't want anyone else to know about our meeting, so you don't have to waste time. The deep voice gradually turned cold.
"Mr. Robert......"
At this moment, a boxer of about 1.75 meters walked out of the inner compartment quickly.
Tang Hao turned around.
The boxer glanced at Tang Hao, hesitated, and walked out quickly.
"Bang!"
There was a heavy muffled sound in the room, and someone should have punched it on the compartment.
Tang Hao suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then left the bathroom with him.
"You go find Zhuang first, and I'll come back later." After Tang Hao went out, he said to the bodyguards who followed him.
Waiting for the bodyguard to leave, Tang Hao stood at the door and waited, and after four or five minutes, he followed and saw an Asian face walking out.
Although I changed my clothes, my face was still so familiar.
Jin walked out and saw Tang Hao, obviously stunned for a moment.
"It's not convenient here, let's go to the café next door to talk. Tang Hao said with a smile.
Kim hesitated, then nodded.
Mayweather's matches were never short of spectators, and he didn't ask much.
When he arrived at the café, Tang Hao ordered two cups of coffee, and seeing that Jin didn't seem to have lunch, he specially ordered some desserts.
Waiting for the dessert and coffee to come up, watching Jin eat some, Tang Hao followed up and said, "What have you done during this time?"
"I went to fight the underground black boxing. Maybe Tang Hao invited him to eat, he said bluntly.
"Underground Black Fist, but why didn't you go a long time ago?" Tang Hao said and took a sip of coffee.
"I've been and they said they wanted ten dollars for admission, and I didn't have the money. ”。 Phnom said while eating.
"Ten dollars?" is the ten dollars I gave you?" Tang Hao was stunned for a moment.
"Yes. Kim nodded.
"You haven't gotten a penny before?" Tang Hao asked in surprise, although he knew that Jin's wandering method would not get much charity, but if it was really only ten dollars he gave, it was really a bit miserable.
"I got $5, but I was torn apart by the students. ”
The group of students...... So that's what happened.
Tang Hao showed a look that was the same for a while, and then continued to ask, "Then how many days have you been there before and after?"
"Someone gave me bread for a week, but I hadn't eaten in two days before I met you. ”
"No wonder ......" Tang Hao looked at Jin and thought that he should be a good fighter, but his fist didn't have much strength, and he was still strange at that time, it turned out that he hadn't eaten for two days.
"And then you take that ten dollars, and by playing black boxing, you don't have to be a homeless man anymore, and you still have a good life?"
"No, I only won one game, and I lost the next few fights, and the fighters in the black market are very experienced, and I couldn't see a way out, so I spent the rest of my money on this outfit. Kim said with a wry smile.
"You dare bet. Tang Hao sighed with emotion, he suddenly felt that he was very interested in this gold.
"Although I can eat that money for a while, the bread will always be eaten one day, so it is better to gamble. Kim followed.
"That's true, but it looks like you're losing your bet. Tang Hao followed.
As soon as he said this, Kim suddenly clenched his fists, as if recalling something that he was very reluctant to recall.
"I was in the toilet before, I heard your conversation, you were a professional sparring partner before, and you were still Mayweather's?" Tang Hao also got straight to the point at this time, after asking, he took a sip of coffee, and then looked straight at Jin.
Jin also looked straight at Tang Hao, the two looked at each other for a while, he sighed, and then said: "Robert Guerrero, he has a boxing championship with Mayweather next year, he should recruit me, I can really help him." ”
But he refused, because he said that some things were worth more than a win. Tang Hao repeated what he heard.
Kim was silent at this point.
"Can you tell me what's going on, between you and Mayweather?" Tang Hao asked.
Jin glanced at Tang Hao, this time he didn't speak, and after taking a sip of coffee, he followed and said, "I'm sorry, and then thank you for inviting me to eat and coffee." ”
Kim was ready to stand up after speaking.
Tang Hao smiled, it seemed that this was something that Jin couldn't say.
"Wait, I'm not done yet. Tang Hao smiled and stretched out his hand.
Jin was stunned for a moment, perhaps because he was short-handed, and he sat down again.
"Did you know that Mayweather had a boxing match in April this year?" Tang Hao took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly.
"I know, with an Asian fighter, but to be honest, I don't know that guy well and I haven't met him. Kim said directly.
"If that Asian fighter hired you to be his sparring partner, would you go?" said Tang Hao slowly.
Jin stared at Tang Hao for a while, then nodded and said, "If the price is right, I will go." ”
"Do you think I'm like a fighter?" Tang Hao said with a smile, he said it so obviously, Jin should have realized it somewhat.
"No, you're too tall, you're too thin for this weight class, your speed, your ability to resist hits is not good. ”
"You don't have any words. Tang Hao said with a smile, holding his chin and looking at Jin.
The Northern Dynasty man in front of him speaks very directly, and he never beats around the bush when he should speak, which he likes very much.
He then said, "With a weekly salary of $100,000, I will be my sparring boxer." ”
Jin was stunned, although he vaguely guessed it, but when he really heard Tang Hao say it, he still seemed a little surprised.
"Don't use that expression, I'm your employer for the rest of the time. Tang Hao said jokingly.
"I can't guarantee that you won't be defeated by Mayweather, because with what I know about him, he can't be defeated. Kim hesitated for a moment and then said.
"You don't have to think about this, and don't worry, I'm not a person who throws a lot of money everywhere, you need to pass my test to be qualified. Tang Hao said and looked at Jin, "How about it, if you fail, you may have to go back and continue to be your homeless man, but if you succeed, you can get a good reward, and then you can get on the plane and return to China." ”
"Return to China......" Jin muttered, looking a little excited.
"I can give you some time to think about it. Tang Hao was not in a hurry, he picked up the coffee and took a sip as he spoke.
"I promise you. Before he could finish his coffee, Kim followed.
Tang Hao put down the cup with a smile, and then said, "Now, you can tell me what your name is, and then the matter between you and Mayweather, right?"
After Tang Hao finished speaking, he looked at Jin with interest, he was really curious now, a person from the Northern Dynasty, a world-class boxer, how these two people intersected.
Kim didn't hide it either, and told him about the past year.
Jin, whose full name is Jin Xiangxing, is a native of Huishan City, Northern Dynasties, and a second-tier member of the Northern Dynasties National Boxing Team.
Resistant to beating, this seems to be the characteristic of boxers in the Northern Dynasties, but Jin Xiangxing seems to be the best among them, which is also the main reason why the Northern Dynasties national team called him into the team, to be a professional sparring partner for the main players.
This kind of player has the necessity to exist in the national team, but basically has no chance to play, so Jin Xiangxing can be said to be depressed.
Until an exhibition match, the famous boxer Li Cunen of the Northern Dynasty faced Bobby Sterling of the American team, and Mayweather appeared at the scene of the match by accident.
At that time, he inadvertently saw Li Cunen's pre-match warm-up, when Jin Xiangxing imitated Sterling's boxing and was using Li Cunen as a sparring partner.
This was a very ordinary scene, but the clever Mayweather discovered Kim Xiangxing's unique characteristics and imitated them.
This Northern Dynasty man was able to perfectly replicate Sterling's boxing characteristics in a short period of time.
This discovery made Mayweather overjoyed.
At that time, Mayweather had just made a comeback, and it was a long time to recover his strength, and Jin Xiangxing was unintentionally the shortcut he longed for.
For a person like Mayweather, asking for someone is a matter of mouth, even if this person is from the Northern Dynasty, so Jin Xiangxing was brought to the United States by Mayweather and became his full-time sparring partner.
With Jin Xiangxing, Mayweather's form recovered quickly, but the arguably smartest fighter in boxing soon discovered that as his strength recovered, Jin Xiangxing's strength also improved quickly, which made him have to worry.
This is simply a copy of the Japanese manga "Naruto" to endure Kakashi, he just put a bomb next to him!
He has always wanted to find an opportunity to drive Jin Xiangxing away, but he is afraid that Jin Xiangxing will go to his opponent, so the matter has been dragging on.
Until something happened.
Mayweather is a person, in addition to his excellent boxing skills, his private life is really unlikeable, he likes to show off his wealth, show off his money, show women, and in fact, his private life is indeed erosive enough.
At that time, he was dating a beautiful woman of Catherine, and in the American aesthetic, Catherine, who had big hips and big breasts, was indeed Mayweather's favorite at that time.
It was one night, Mayweather was messing around in the room with Catherine and two other women behind his back, and he was so excited that he forgot the training time agreed with Jin Xiangxing, so the upright Jin Xiangxing went to the room to look for him, and he hit him.
This is actually nothing, the key is that Mayweather was found out about the fishy thing by Catherine, who was angry and thunderous, and then asked Jin Xiangxing privately, and the upright Jin Xiangxing did not hide it, and then there was a fierce quarrel between men and women.
In the end, Catherine was dumped by Mayweather.
And Jin Xiangxing suffered, Mayweather was in a hurry to deal with him, which just gave him a chance, and when he announced the dismissal of Jin Xiangxing, the smart Mayweather refused to pay any salary on the grounds that he did not have a contract, and warned everyone in the boxing circle that whoever dared to hire Jin Xiangxing was against him.
So Jin Xiangxing, who was desperate, had no relatives, and even had no way to return to China, naturally became a homeless man.
When Jin Xiangxing finished speaking, Tang Hao had already drunk a cup of coffee in his hand, and the waiter added another cup.
After listening to this story, Tang Hao already understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, except for feeling that Jin Xiangxing was a little stupid, he didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong.
On the contrary, Mayweather, who is known as the smartest boxer in the boxing world, and this boxer who doesn't even need to hire a boxing promoter, doesn't seem to be so authentic!
"Then, you come back to the villa with me, and tomorrow, I will begin testing you. Tang Hao said and stood up, he had already made a decision.
After knowing about Jin Xiangxing, he suddenly felt that in the match between him and Mayweather, he had stood on the side of justice.
