Chapter 336: Press Conference and Arrival in Mexico City

In the studio of the Hilton New York, the pre-fight press conference of Wang Hao and Chavez's WBA super lightweight championship match is in full swing, and both fighters said that they will not end the fight in the form of points.

This information fell into the ears of the fans and the news media at the scene, and although the fighters liked to talk big at the press conference, the fans and news media at the scene knew that Wang Hao and Chavez were absolutely serious.

Although Wang Hao has not fought many fights so far, only four professional boxing matches, all of them have been won by knockouts, and the Russian fighter Lermontov, who has lasted the longest, has only lasted three rounds under Wang Hao.

And Chavez has played more than 80 fights and nearly 90 fights so far, and the knockout win rate has reached 80 percent, so many fights, this knockout rate is definitely a miracle in the pan-middleweight division.

Despite his age, Chavez is still a sharp heavy gunman, having just defeated the undefeated American ultra-lightweight debutant and WBC super-lightweight No. 3 ranked Clares in nine rounds in a fight for the WBC super lightweight gold.

To sum up Chavez's strength in one sentence, it is that the sword is not old.

Therefore, everyone believes that what the two said is definitely not a big word, both of them are very serious about finishing their opponents before the end of the twelve rounds, and it is predictable that both will let go of their output in the game, but who will finish who in the end depends on the strength of the two and whether the game strategy is used properly.

Dozens of media outlets from all over the world were asked questions at the press conference, and reporters from Mexico's national television sports channel were given the right to ask questions after the New York Times reporters finished asking questions.

Wearing a black suit and a white shirt, a reporter from the sports channel of Mexico's national television stood up and asked Wang Hao: "Mr. Wang Hao, I want to ask you a question, you have been playing amateur boxing before, and it has only been a year since you entered the professional boxing world, I don't deny that you have achieved excellent results in this year, but in the fifth game, choose the longest reigning champion in the history of ultra-lightweight, and the best boxing champion, and go to Mexico City, the opponent's home stadium to challenge, do you think the odds are high?" “

The reporter from Mexico's national television sports channel sat down after asking questions, and it was Wang Hao's turn to answer the questions.

As a reporter on Mexican national television, the question asked is obviously a bit biased, from this reporter's question, the reporters and the audience can hear it, the Mexican reporter does not believe that Wang Hao can defeat Chavez in Mexico City, Chavez's home stadium, and thinks that Wang Hao chose to fight Chavez when he entered the professional boxing world for only one year, which is a mistake.

In this regard, Wang Hao also replied directly without concealment: "For an excellent boxer, it is enough to challenge for the world boxing title after four professional boxing matches." My experience in the amateur boxing era will also be a help, although amateur boxing and professional boxing are not exactly the same, but all the techniques and experience in the amateur boxing era will help me a lot in my career. Then I talked about the home game of Chavez in Mexico City, which was arranged by the operation and maintenance teams of both sides, I am a fighter, I obey these arrangements and prepare for the game seriously! ”

Wang Hao continued to answer: "Going to the opponent's home stadium to play actually has little impact on me, a stadium with tens of thousands of people, although it is very noisy, but when the fighter stands in the ring, there is no distraction. I have a lot of respect for Chavez, he is the pride of the Mexicans, but I can honestly say that he is old and the match on September 16 will prove everything! You can go live and watch how I beat him! “

After Wang Hao finished answering the question, someone suddenly shouted a few words in Chinese from the audience, "Wang Hao!" Fight well! We'll go live and cheer you on! “

Wang Hao and the others followed the sound and saw that there were a few young people who were either international students or overseas Chinese, as well as two middle-aged men, holding the Chinese flag in their hands, and shouted loudly to cheer Wang Hao after Wang Hao finished answering the question.

Seeing this scene, Wang Hao also waved to a few people with some joy.

Although there are not many people, Wang Hao is very happy to be able to feel the support of his compatriots on the spot in a foreign country.

At this time, after the reporter of the Mexican national television finished asking questions, the female reporter of Sky Sports England was given the right to ask questions, she stood up and said: "This question is for the coaches of both sides, first of all, Mr. Chavez's coach, Mr. Chavez is an amazing fighter, in his career, so far he has only lost to De La Hoa, but he has lost two fights with De La Hoya, and he has not fought twelve rounds, although when facing Clares, who is also a super rookie in American boxing, Mr. Chavez won. But obviously, Chavez's performance against the best fighters of the younger generation is very inconsistent, how did you help Mr. Chavez prepare for the next fight, how did you make sure that the fight between Mr. Chavez and Mr. Wang Hao did not turn out to be the same result as the fight against De La Hoya? “

The female reporter of Sky Sports obviously asked a more pointed question, Chavez lost to De La Hoya twice, once in the fourth round, once in the eighth round, the first time because of an injury in the corner of the eye, the second time because of physical exhaustion, directly gave up the game, this is also the two worst games of Chavez's career, and now Wang Hao is also the most potential rookie in the ultra-lightweight division, when Chavez faces Wang Hao, it is possible to repeat the mistake of the match with De La Hoya.

Chavez's coach is obviously experienced and good at dealing with these tough questions, and he replied directly: "Not every boxing rookie is at the level of Drahoya, we admit that we lost to Drahoa twice, even if we fight again, the result will be the same, we think that the current Drahoa is the same as the young Chavez, unstoppable." But not every good rookie fighter is De La Hoya, we think that Wang Hao's strength is still at the level of Clares, and he is far from the level of De La Hoya and the young Chavez. “

Hearing Coach Chavez's answer, the female reporter of Sky Sports asked Wang Hao's coaches, Paul and Sanchez.

The female reporter asked: "Hello two coaches!" Same question, ask you both, Chavez couldn't help but perform the same way against the super lightweight rookie, lost to De La Hoa twice, but recently defeated Clares perfectly, how do the two coaches guide Wang Hao's preparation, so that in the next match, Wang Hao can play like De La Hoa, instead of playing like Clares? “

At the pre-boxing press conference, although it is common for fighters and coaches on both sides to exaggerate their teams and belittle the opposing team, and even hands-on action is not new, Coach Chavez's words still make Paul and Sanchez uncomfortable.

As the head coach, Paul replied: "Chavez has his weaknesses, under his poor coaching team, he hasn't really improved much over the years, we know a lot about his weaknesses, all aspects, but I won't list them all here, and on the day of the game, the crowd will see how many holes we have found in Chavez's technique." “

Paul's statement became more sharp, and even directly said that Coach Chavisz was not good, which made the Chavez team a little angry, and almost stood up and sat down again under the control of the security guards, and the atmosphere at the scene began to become more tense.

Of course, some of Paul said these words in anger, and more to create suspense for the other party.

No fighter would leak a pre-fight strategy to the opponent, which is undoubtedly suicidal.

In fact, Paul has been studying Chavisz for a long time, but found that Chavez actually doesn't have many technical holes, so in this match, Paul's main game strategy for Wang Hao is to throw more punches and use physical advantages to drag down Chavez, which is exactly what De La Hoya did in the game.

Therefore, in the first two months of training, Wang Hao actually did a lot of physical training under the guidance of Paul, and even often played 16 rounds of actual combat training to ensure sufficient physical reserves.

After Paul finished answering, Sanchez also added: "If you really have contact with Wang Hao, you will know that Wang Hao's potential far exceeds that of ordinary boxing rookies, and even surpassing De La Hoya's results is completely expected." “

The female reporter of Sky Sports finished asking the question, and the female reporter of the Fuji TV sports channel in Japan also stood up and asked Wang Hao a question.

The female reporter of Fuji TV, who was very young, wearing a white suit and a white short skirt, asked, "Mr. Wang Hao! With your double Olympic and World Championship titles, you have become a leading figure in Asian boxing in the amateur boxing stage. After entering professional boxing, it is the same, it is currently the most concerned among Asian boxers, and it is also the only professional boxer in Asia who has a world-class level. As an Asian media, we sincerely wish you a successful match. So my question is, if you win the match against Chavez, what is your next match? “

Wang Hao nodded and replied: "In my last fight, after winning the Russian boxer Lermontov, plus the former WBO super lightweight champion Mosley has officially landed in the welterweight division and gave up the WBO super lightweight gold belt, I am now ranked second in the world boxing organization WBO ultra lightweight division, so, after I get the WBA super lightweight title, the next fight should be with the Puerto Rican fighter Camacho, who is currently ranked first in the WBO super lightweight division, Compete for the WBO super lightweight boxing championship belt. ”

After a few more questions from reporters, the pre-match press conference had come to an end, and Wang Hao gave the last opportunity to ask questions to reporters from China Central Television.

China Central Television reporters rarely appear at the press conference of boxing matches, because most professional boxing matches will not have Chinese fighters, or even Asian fighters, but today's press conference is different, Chinese boxer Wang Hao is one of the protagonists today.

The reporter of the China Central Television Sports Channel, who had the last opportunity to ask a question, was very happy and stood up and said, "Mr. Wang Hao! You've been interviewed by CCTV a few times before, and you were still in the national team at that time, so I'm very happy to be able to interview you again today. Audiences and fans across the country are looking forward to winning your fight in Mexico City and taking home the professional belt, which will be broadcast live on CCTV Sports! ”

Wang Hao nodded, hearing the information that CCTV would broadcast his game live, Wang Hao was still very happy.

The CCTV reporter continued: "My question is when do you plan to go back to China to play a professional match?" ”

Wang Hao replied: "I also very much hope to have the opportunity to return to China to play professional matches in the future, go to Beijing or Shanghai, but these still need to be further developed in the domestic professional boxing market." ”

"I'm just a boxer, the planning and arrangement of real boxing matches are all operated by agents, for them the first thing is to ensure the profitability of the fight, I think I will find the opportunity to fight a few professional fights in China, that is also my dream, I hope this day will come sooner." Wang Hao continued to reply.

After listening to Wang Hao's answer, the reporter of CCTV Sports Channel replied with a smile: "Thank you for your answer, here is another good news by the way, CCTV Sports Channel will start to select the annual sports figure next year, you as our country's leader in the field of boxing, there is a great probability of being selected, you can pay attention to it in time." ”

Wang Hao smiled and nodded, ending the interview with the CCTV reporter, China's annual sports figure, this kind of major selection, Wang Hao is still very interested in participating.

After the reporter's questioning, the press conference went to the last part, Wang Hao and Chavez stood up, looked at each other, and looked at each other face to face for half a minute.

At this time, the reporters at the scene were also frantically taking pictures and videos, and the photo of Wang Hao and Chavez looking at each other face-to-face will be the most important material in their press releases.

Wang Hao and Chavez's press conference in the United States ended, which can be said to be very successful, making the heat of the match between the two reach a climax before the game, and it has faintly become the most important boxing event at the end of the year.

Before the start of the official competition, Wang Hao came to Mexico City to participate in several activities before the competition and familiarize himself with the local environment.

This was Wang Hao's first visit to Mexico City, and Wang Hao was attracted by the city's rich exotic atmosphere.

With a population of 20 million and an altitude of more than 2,200 meters, Mexico City is the highest metropolis in the world, founded in the 14th century, and was once the capital of the famous Indian civilization of the Aztec Empire, which was defeated by the Spanish colonizers in the 16th century, and Mexico City became the capital of the new country of the Spaniards on the North American continent. ,
