Chapter 204: The Royal Fighter (2200 Monthly Pass Plus Update!Today's Fourth Update!)
Boxing originated in the United Kingdom, and it became an Olympic sport under the promotion of the British, and the United Kingdom is a boxing powerhouse in the traditional sense, and even in the early 19th century, Britain's outstanding top fighters would be canonized by the royal family.

This title is called Royal Boxer.
Although it is not hereditary like a knighthood, and it does not have real power, it is a very remarkable thing to be able to be canonized by the royal family as an athlete.
Although this system no longer exists, the goal of this festival is to reintroduce royal fighters with only one purpose, that is, to hope that British fighters can regain glory and regain the recognition of the royal family and even the people.
At the end of the show, there are some interviews with British fighters who are still active in the boxing calendar, including professional and amateur fighters, including British 60kg young and well-known fighter Ashley Sichoefin.
"Fighter Royal, what a cool name, it's a bit far away for me, but I'm going to get it, yes, I've mapped out a path for myself, I'm going to win the World Championships, and then I'm going to get this gold medal in our city of London, for the home crowd, then to the WBC, WBO, WBA or IBF, and then to the World Belt, I have a plan, it's hard, but I'm going to make it happen step by step. ”
Tang Hao has always seen that the show did not change the channel at the end, on the one hand, because the BBC program itself is doing well, and on the other hand, because this fighter named Ashley Sigtofinn is likely to be one of his opponents in the next round.
Tomorrow's fifth day of the competition will continue the knockout round of the remaining fighters in the 60kg class, and the strength of tomorrow's duel fighters will be even more eye-catching compared to today, including the 57kg gold medallist Lomachenko at the Kyoto Olympics.
Although he has gained weight to 60kg due to the cancellation of the 57kg class, judging from his previous performance, his strength has increased instead of decreasing, and he has a great tendency to enter the professional boxing world.
In addition to Lomachenko, Ashley Siyforfin's game will also be played tomorrow, and Tang Hao will not be absent from tomorrow's knockout round.
The crowd is most focused on the bout itself, and the preliminaries on this day were about twice as many as yesterday, as world-renowned fighters such as Lomachenko, Aloan, and Alvarez will take the stage today.
Because Zou Shiming's competition ended yesterday, the 49kg competition did not attract much attention, but when it came to the 52kg knockout round, Aloan's appearance quickly ignited the venue.
As a rare lightweight fighter in Russia, Aloan has been thriving in boxing in the past two years, winning consecutive gold medals in the 52kg category of the World Youth Championships and the European Championships, and is the biggest favorite to win the 52kg class at this World Championships.
Ukraine is a branch of the ancient Russian ethnic group, and Aloan, who is a Russian, can also be said to be fighting at home this time.
In the end, Aloan faced the Filipino fighter and scored a crushing score of 20-5 to easily advance to the next round.
After Alloan, in the knockout round of the 56kg class, Cuban star Alvarez also easily defeated his opponent to advance.
When the 56kg knockout round was over, the 60kg knockout finally kicked off, with Lomachenko facing Azerbaijan's Akayev in the opening match.
One is the favorite to win the championship, the other is a local boxer, and the duel between the two has already attracted the attention of the audience without the encouragement of the host at all.
Tang Hao also looked at the field, although because of the match, these two people will basically meet him in the finals, but for him, who is determined to win the championship, there is not much difference between the current encounter and the final encounter.
In the excited cheers of the host, the game between the two sides officially began.
Playing at home, Akayev was in full swing and launched a frantic attack on Lomachenko at the beginning of the game, which also excited the crowd.
However, it didn't take long for Lomachenko to show his strength as the defending champion and start a counterattack against Akayev.
Halfway through the first round, Lomachenko dodged Akayev's attack sideways in a close-quarters and then landed a cannonball-like hook that hit Akayev in the head.
After the two were separated, Akayev lost consciousness and collapsed directly to the ground.
This violent style of play caused an uproar from the audience.
Lomachenko, on the other hand, was calm and didn't show much excitement, just waiting for the referee to raise his hand to signal that he was the winner.
The cheers were sporadic at the scene, perhaps because they were suppressed by Lomachenko's violent style of play, or maybe they couldn't bear to see the players playing at home being beaten like this.
Tang Hao squinted his eyes, although Lomachenko's punching power was a little worse than him, but the short-distance explosiveness was very strong, and the close-fitting loach-style style of play was difficult for the opponent to block.
The reigning Olympic champion is indeed stronger than anyone else he's met before.
Lomachenko's contest was followed by a battle between two Asian fighters, with North Korea's Kim Jong Sung defeating India's Dijan Galava.
And when the knockout is over, Tang Hao's eye will be on Ashley Siyofin, who will face Kamfi Masimov from Kazakhstan, who is known for his footwork and punch combinations.
From the start of the bout, Masimov took the lead in a tentative attack, using his excellent footwork and solid punches, and he quickly took the initiative on the court.
And Siygaffin adopted a defensive posture in the opening game, using his body to carry Masimov's attack.
The home crowd cheered on Masimov's performance.
But the cheers didn't last long, and after resisting Masimov's attack for more than half a minute, Siytofien began to counterattack, and his attack was stormy compared to his defense.
What European fighters are best at is the cross attack, the so-called cross attack, which is the way of alternating swing punches and punches, because boxing only has side and front, which is equivalent to opening a chapter of offensive net in front of the opponent and suppressing in all directions.
Soon, Masimov was pressed into the corner by this attack, and he lost his footwork, and was seized by Siygaffin to win several points in a row.
What's even more lethal is that, perhaps in order to get out of this suppressed situation, Masimov tried to attack and attack, and this just gave Siytofien the opportunity to knock Masimov to the canvas with a series of punches.
Until the referee's countdown was over, Masimov struggled and couldn't get up from the ring.
After the victory, Xiyao Finn was also quite excited, not only yelling at the audience, but also directly peeling off his coat, revealing the tattoo on his back.
On his back, there is a tattoo of the Eiffel Tower, a British landmark, and in addition to this, there is also an image of a fighter wearing a royal medal.
It's clear that he's tattooed the royal fighter he's been looking for on him, and that's what he's aiming for. (To be continued.) )
