Chapter 130: Xing Tianming vs. Johnson
After the host passionately introduced Johnson and Xing Tianming, both of them also stood in the ring.
As soon as two equally burly strong men stood in the ring, the audience was already cheering.
Everyone can't wait to see the two face off.
The two skin tones of black and yellow in the ring are particularly distinct.
Xing Tianming is 192 centimeters tall and weighs 230 pounds, while Johnson is 193 centimeters tall and weighs 240 pounds.
Both are super-heavyweight fighters.
Johnson has already won the WBA belt, while Xing Tianming has only won a few domestic amateur titles.
In terms of age, Johnson is 42 years old, and his fitness and form are in decline.
Xing Tianming is only 24 years old, and his physical fitness and competitive state are on the rise.
So in this game, Xing Tianming and Johnson each have advantages.
Johnson has a wealth of experience in the game and has played against many of the world's biggest boxers.
Very good at coping with the game.
Therefore, for a hairy boy like Shangxing Tianming, who has just come out of the rivers and lakes, the "old" Johnson naturally has his own set of playing styles.
Xing Tianming, on the other hand, is young, with abundant physical strength and a fanatical desire to win.
This is his capital.
There were a lot of Johnson fans at the scene, and there were many people in the audience holding photos of Johnson wearing the WBA boxing belt, and they shouted Johnson's name loudly.
On Xing Tianming's side, except for Lin Feng, Taishan and Chen Aotian who came to cheer for him, it is estimated that no one at the scene knows Xing Tianming.
Before the start of the game, the referee still checked the equipment of both sides according to the old rules and explained a few words.
Xing Tianming and Johnson played this game in a ten-round format, instead of the six rounds of the previous three matches.
Perhaps because both fighters are super heavyweights, the bout was scheduled for ten rounds to add to the spectacle.
Of course, the 10-round system is more physically demanding than the six-round system.
When the fitness of both sides is declining, one of them is also more likely to be knocked out by the opponent.
This is also a kind of arrangement for the organizer to meet the needs of the audience to see the KO scene.
Boxing is a "brutal" sport, and knockout opponents are the soul of the sport.
……
Soon the first round began.
At the beginning of the match, neither Xing Tianming nor Johnson immediately gave each other effective strikes.
Both men are cautious, and they are constantly throwing punches to test each other's hypocrisy.
Gradually, Xing Tianming began to try to take the initiative to attack.
He used small broken steps to slowly close in on Johnson and then used his jab to keep looking for the right shots.
As a veteran of boxing, Johnson has a general demeanor on the field, and his performance is very calm.
Xing Tianming kept taking the initiative to attack him, and he just used his fists to protect the front, and at the same time, the shaking of his body avoided Xing Tianming's attacks again and again.
Only occasionally punches back.
Johnson doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
The first round ended in a calm rhythm.
Xing Tianming came to the sidelines but his mouth was already panting, the battle they had just now seemed to be very easy in the eyes of others, but in fact, the seemingly simple punch was also a great drain on physical fitness.
Second round.
According to Coach Mao's guidance, Xing Tianming also slowed down the pace of attack, and the frequency of punches dropped significantly.
In this round, Xing Tianming put on a defensive posture.
The frequency of Xing's punches has decreased, but Johnson has begun to take the initiative to try to attack.
Johnson didn't punch fast. So every punch he threw was easily dodged by Xing Tianming.
Johnson isn't a fast boxer, he's the kind of heavy gunner who finds an opportunity and will deliver a fatal blow.
So it seems that Johnson seems to have been retreating and hiding, but in fact, he has been looking for the best opportunity to give Xing Tianming the most fatal blow.
In the second round, both sides were still tentative.
Neither man hit too effective shots, but both did a good job defending.
All have very wonderful dodges.
In the third round, Xing Tianming decided to increase the pace of the attack.
At the beginning, he threw a set of combination punches at Johnson, including jabs, hooks, and uppercuts.
Johnson still raised his fists to his head as usual, and at the same time moved his feet to avoid Xing Tianming's attack.
But Xing Tianming had already begun to exert his strength, and his fist hit Johnson's body with a "bang" sound.
It's a completely different feeling from the first three games, it's an explosive force.
Lin Feng stood under the stage, and he could feel the huge force of Xing Tianming's fist.
That day, Xing Tianming just gave him a random punch and knocked him to the ground, compared to that punch, every punch Xing Tianming today was twice as strong as Jiang Tianming's that day.
However, what made Lin Feng sigh was that this Johnson was too resistant to fighting, and Xing Tianming's fist on Johnson's body didn't seem to have any effect.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, this is the old man in the United States that Xing Tianming said!!
Just when Lin Feng secretly sighed, Johnson, who had been on the defensive, suddenly grabbed a defensive loophole of Xing Tianming's punch, and hit Xing Tianming's head directly with a side blow.
The huge force instantly knocked Xing Tianming to the ground.
Lin Feng, Coach Mao and the others instantly became nervous, and even worse, Xing Tianming seemed to have been knocked out by Johnson's punch.
When he fell to the ground, he did not move.
The referee immediately stopped Johnson from continuing to attack, and crouched down to observe Xing Tianming's state.
Xing Tianming lay on the ground for two seconds and finally moved.
The referee has also begun to count down tens of seconds.
If Xing Tianming can't get up and resume the game within ten seconds.
Then the bout will end with Johnson's knockout of Xing Tianming.
Lin Feng secretly cheered for Xing Tianming in his heart.
He really hopes that this guy, who always has an evil smile on his face, will be able to get up and continue the game.
When the referee counted at nine, Xing Tianming shook his head and finally stood up from the ground.
The referee immediately checked Xing Tianming's state and saw that he was able to continue the game, so he resumed his matchup with Johnson.
Judging from the expression on Xing Tianming's face, Lin Feng could feel that Xing Tianming was angered by this punch.
Just when the two sides were about to throw punches, the time for the third round was up.
Xing Tianming was given a respite.
As soon as Xing Tianming arrived on the sidelines, Coach Mao immediately inquired about Xing Tianming's state.
"Amin, how is it, can you still fight?"
Hearing Coach Mao's inquiry, Xing Tianming simply spit out two words: "Yes!" ”
Ah Hao handed Xing Tianming water and wiped the sweat on his face with a towel.
Lin Feng, Chen Aotian and Tai Shan, they didn't dare to speak when they stood in the audience, they didn't dare to disturb Xing Tianming, and they didn't want to affect Xing Tianming's state of the game.
Lin Feng actually wanted to step forward with Xing Tianming to give him some encouragement, but he still held back, he believed that Xing Tianming would definitely have a way to defeat Johnson.
