Chapter 205: After the game and the fourth quarterfinals begin
World Youth Boxing Championships, today's quarterfinals, there have been two matches in the front, and the game with Wang Hao is already the third.
Although the quality of the previous two bouts, especially the match between Soviet junior champion Kamenlev and American Golden Glove champion Gilvajes, can be said to show the highest level of young fighters in the world at the moment, these two bouts also have a big problem for the audience, that is, the scene is not exciting enough.
Both groups were cautious and focused on points to win their matches, with no knockouts in either bout, with the occasional hard-hitting strike at best.
So this also makes the audience who watched two games, but didn't see a wonderful knockdown, a little hungry.
Wang Hao's wonderful performance greatly satisfied the needs of the audience, knocking down the Puerto Rican fighter three times in one round, which made the audience excited, and gave Wang Hao warm applause after the game.
In addition to feeling the excitement of the game, Wang Hao's performance also amazed and shocked the audience.
The boxers who can reach the quarterfinals of the World Junior Boxing Championships are all excellent young boxers with world-class standards, and the boxer from Puerto Rico is an excellent world-class junior boxer with stable performance.
Although Puerto Rico is a small country, it has a thriving boxing culture, and boxing has a strong vitality in Puerto Rico, making it a strong country in boxing.
However, Wang Hao was able to defeat the excellent Puerto Rican boxer by knockout in the first round, and knocked down the Puerto Rican boxer three times in one round, although it has something to do with the Puerto Rican boxer's contempt for Wang Hao and his eagerness, but it still shows Wang Hao's superior boxing skills and confrontation ability.
After all, being able to face a stormy attack from a boxing powerhouse without messing up and knocking out the opponent with a counterattack shows that Wang Hao's strength is obviously above the Puerto Rican boxer, and even if the Puerto Rican fighter does not despise Wang Hao, it is almost impossible to win this match.
And Wang Hao is also a yellow-skinned boxer from China, although there are kung fu superstars like Bruce Lee among the Chinese, who are well-known in the world, but for boxing, China and even the whole of Asia, there is no achievement, so Wang Hao's wonderful performance tonight also shocked everyone present and surprised them.
They know that a boxing genius from China is bound to shine at this year's World Junior Boxing Championships, but it is not clear how far Wang Hao can go and whether he will have a chance to win this year's championship.
Whether Wang Hao's performance is just a flash in the pan, or whether he can continue to shine on the world boxing stage in the future, everyone is not clear, but they know that Wang Hao is indeed a rare boxing genius among Chinese and even Asians.
The audience and some of the boxers and coaches who watched the game gave Wang Hao a long and warm applause.
"This game is so exciting, it's much better than the previous two games!" Someone in the audience said.
"Hmmm! I had high expectations for the match between Kamenlev and Gilvajes, but it was a big disappointment! Someone next to him said.
"In my opinion, Kamenlev played quite positively! It's just that Gilvajes played too cautiously and was obviously afraid of Kamenlev's confrontation ability! Another audience member expressed their opinions.
"This Chinese fighter is playing so well, he is famous in this competition! I don't know how far he can go! It would be great if you could win the final championship! Another audience member said.
"As far as I know, no Chinese boxer has ever won the World Junior Boxing Championships, and Wang Hao's entry into the semifinals can be regarded as making history!" There were also boxing insiders at the scene who commented, "But in my opinion, it is difficult for Wang Hao to go further!" The remaining boxers Latiz and Kamenlev are too strong, although Wang Hao is sharp, but there are Puerto Rican boxers who are light opponents, and Wang Hao is also participating in the world competition for the first time, if you want to enter the final or even win the championship, the possibility is still very small! ”
"I agree with you, the final champion, I am optimistic that it will be between Cuban fighter Latiz and Soviet champion Kamenlev!" There was also a boxing coach next to him who said, "But reaching the semifinals is enough for Wang Hao, a Chinese boxer, to prove himself!" ”
Everyone nodded, indeed, for a yellow-skinned Asian boxer from China, on the stage of the World Youth Boxing Championships, reaching the final four is a great achievement, no matter what, even if he misses the final champion and runner-up, there is nothing to regret.
Wang Hao in the ring, in the applause and cheers of the audience, circled the arena to thank the audience.
Sun Zeyong, Zhang Shuzheng and others also rushed into the arena excitedly, hugged Wang Hao, and took out the five-star red flag that had been prepared a long time ago, and held it high together with Wang Hao.
For today's game to be able to win the Puerto Rican fighter in the first round, Wang Hao also has his own cognition in his heart.
Wang Hao knows that he can win this match, and the fundamental reason is because although the Puerto Rican boxer has a tough style of play and comprehensive skills, there is still a gap between him and himself in terms of reaction speed and strength.
However, this gap is not enough for Wang Hao to win the Puerto Rican fighter quickly, and if the Puerto Rican boxer pays enough attention to Wang Hao and fights conservatively, Wang Hao is unlikely to knock out the Puerto Rican fighter in the first round.
Wang Hao felt that the reason why he was able to win so quickly was first of all the contempt of the Puerto Rican boxer, and gave him the opportunity to knock down the Puerto Rican boxer at the beginning.
Immediately after, Wang Hao used heavy jab techniques combined with continuous jabs, a technique that Puerto Rican boxers have not been exposed to, lacking a way to deal with it, and Wang Hao's heavy jab power frightened Puerto Rican boxers, Wang Hao's continuous strikes made the Puerto Rican boxer's physical condition continue to decline, and finally knocked down the Puerto Rican boxer twice in a row at the end of the round to win the match.
Kamenlev, Gilvajes, Latiz, Kulishenko and others also watched Wang Hao's fight under the ring.
Wang Hao has been fighting until now, although he has not been in contact with Soviet fighters, and the three boxers he has fought are from Cuba, the United States and Puerto Rico, but because Wang Hao has been in contact with Kamenlev and Kulishenko when he came to Ukraine last time, and he also knocked down Kulishenko's brother, a good player in the Ukrainian national second team, so Kamenlev and Kulishenko have long had some impressions of Wang Hao.
But today to see Wang Hao cleanly knocked down the Puerto Rican boxer, the two of them are still very shocked in their hearts, they feel that Wang Hao's strength and they should not be much different, although Kamenlev and Kulishenko think that they can still win when they meet Wang Hao, but they may not win very easily, especially the less powerful Kurishenko, he feels that if he meets Wang Hao, it may be a vicious battle.
Kamenlev, on the other hand, thinks he can still win against Wang, but the match is more likely to be a full three rounds like the match against Gilvajes.
Gil Vages, who had already lost the fight, was still on the scene, watching the entire match between Wang Hao and the Puerto Rican fighter.
Because his younger brother Calvajes was knocked down by Wang Hao in the group stage, as well as the conflict between the British boxer and Wang Hao, Gilvajes has already known Wang Hao.
Through Carvaljes' description of Wang Hao's strength, Gilvajes thought that Wang Hao could win the fight with the Puerto Rican fighter before the fight, but he didn't expect Wang Hao to win so beautifully, knocking out the Puerto Rican fighter three times in a row in the first round.
This made Gilvajes more interested in Wang Hao, and he wanted to see how far Wang Hao could go in this tournament, and whether he could pass the winners of Latiz and Kulishenko, as well as the two levels of Kamenlev?
Cuban junior champion "Havana ruffian" Latiz was also very shocked when he saw Wang Hao's game, and when Wang Hao knocked out his teammate Huerta in the group stage, Latiz had already noticed Wang Hao.
And by watching Wang Hao's game on the spot, Latiz also came to a certain conclusion in his heart that Wang Hao's strength may not be weaker than his next opponent Kurishenko.
Latiz has formulated a detailed game plan to win the match against Kurishenko, but now it seems that even if the match with Kurishenko is won, the next match against Wang Hao will still be an easy match.
Wang Hao's match was over, the excitement and shock on the scene slowly returned to calm, and the final match of the quarterfinals between Latiz and the all-Soviet runner-up Kurishenko was about to begin.
Latiz wore a floral striped shorts and a gray vest today, while Kurishenko wore a white vest and white shorts trimmed with red trim.
The referee, a tall, middle-aged white man from Germany, signaled for the bout to begin after reminding the two fighters of the precautions.
Bite! Bell bell bell!
As the bell rang, Kulishenko took the lead with a straight forehand punch.
Kurishenko is the runner-up in the whole Soviet Union, and his boxing skills are the same as Kamenlev's, and his boxing is very standardized, but he has good physical fitness and great punching power.
Boom!
Kurishenko's first straight forehand punch, which was fast and powerful, brought out a noticeable blow in the air.
Sou!
And Latiz's reaction is also very fast, he leans forward, his left hand is in front, facing Kurishenko, at the moment of Kurishenko's punch, Latiz leans forward, dodging Kurishenko's front hand straight punch, and at the same time, a jab, also hit, hit Kurishenko's abdomen and the strong muscles at the junction of the right rib.
It's a clear hit that can be scored.
After the hit, Latiz quickly retreated, his body like a flexible spring, and after a quick strike, he quickly retracted.
Boom!
After being hit, Kurishenko also quickly threw a right hand from top to bottom in an attempt to volley Latiz, but the faster Latiz had already retreated, and Kurishenko's blow missed.
Kurishenko stepped forward again and landed two straight punches with his left and right hands, pressing Latiz.
Latiz quickly made a swing move, dodging two straight punches from Kurishenko, while straightening his body and unleashing a small right hook that tried to hit Kurishenko on the left cheek as Kulishenko's left straight hand was withdrawn.
However, Kulishenko was not slow to react, and he quickly swung his head backwards, just enough to dodge Latiz's small right hook.
However, Latiz's ability to time back-to-back attacks was very strong, and he landed a right hook in the air, but a left jab was already in the air.
I saw Latiz with his left hand in front and his right hand behind, with a light under his feet, and quickly forward, a forehand jab hit Kurishenko's front door.
The latter quickly countered with a straight right hand, but Latiz was already lightly on his feet again after his hand, and a nimble back-sliding step opened the distance, and Kulishenko's straight right hand was open again.
was scored by Latiz one after another, Kurishenko was also a little depressed in his heart, he began not to play so actively, slowed down the pace of the attack, and let Latiz attack first.
Seeing that Kurishenko was not so active, the experienced and even a little cunning Latiz was not in a hurry, he punched and feints, and played an unfast-paced confrontation with Kurishenko at medium and long distances, the two of you take two steps forward, I take two steps back, or you take two steps back, and I take two steps forward and fight.
The two continued to fight, playing more than a point in this tepid rhythm as the bout reached the end of the first round.
Wang Hao, Kamenlev, Gilvajes and others are all watching the match between the two from the sidelines, and Latiz and Kurishenko are also the favorites to win the tournament, and everyone is paying a lot of attention to this match.
Wang Hao watched the progress of the first round of the game between the two under the ring, and at the same time observed and thought about the technical styles of the two, it should be said that the skills of both are very strong, but the technical system is different, on the whole, Wang Hao feels that Latiz's strength is still stronger than Curishenko, and his understanding of boxing technology is much better than that of Kurishenko.
As a result, Latiz played more flexibly and scored significantly more points in the first round.
However, in Wang Hao's view, the gap between Kurishenko and Latiz is not very large, and there are advantages, such as punching power, Wang Hao can see that Kurishenko's punching power is obviously stronger than Latiz.
Of course, Wang Hao knows that this has a lot to do with the technical style of the two, as well as the way they exert their power when punching, Kulishenko plays a lot of straight punches, and the movements are standard when punching, and the power is transmitted from the feet.
Latiz, on the other hand, is like a fast-moving rabbit, his punches are dominated by jabs and surprise attacks with backhands and hooks, and he retreats immediately after the fight, and the power process is short, relying more on the strength of the body itself.
However, although Kurishenko is better, his speed is significantly slower than Latiz, so Wang Hao feels that if the game between the two continues like this, it is likely that Latiz will win by the last point.
