Chapter 485: Light Night Boxing (8)

After chatting with "American Dream" WBA super welterweight champion David Rader and "Viper" IBF welterweight champion Forrester, the host of the scene, Catherman, turned to Trinidad.

Katherman smiled and said, "Let's talk about you, Tito, although you are very young, everyone says that you are a master of boxing!" “

Trinidad also smiled and replied: "That's all if the fans compliment, I'm still a long way from a real boxing master." “

"You're humble!" Katherman nodded, and continued, "You have achieved very good results in the amateur boxing era, I heard that you practiced boxing very early, in the amateur boxing period, you were the national boxing champion of Puerto Rico, and you have won many times, you must know that although Puerto Rico is not a big country, it is a boxing power similar to Cuba, and there are many excellent fighters and champions, such as Camacho in the ultra-lightweight division, almost as famous as the Mexican middleweight legend Chavez, and is still active in the ring. So, it is not easy to win multiple amateur championships in such a country. “

Trinidad replied, "I started boxing at the age of twelve and soon competed in the Puerto Rico National Amateur Boxing Championships, and as I grew older and heavier, I won the Puerto Rico National Amateur Boxing Championships at 100 pounds, 112 pounds, 119 pounds, 126 pounds, and 132 pounds. “

"What an outstanding achievement!" Catherman is also well-timed.

Trinidad continued: "A big reason I achieved these results in the amateur boxing era was because of my father, who was really a natural boxing coach and was very strict with me. But even though I won a lot of national championships in the amateur boxing era, I didn't have a high knockout rate at that time, and I played a lot of professional fights, and only 12 of them were won by knockouts. ”

"Wow! "But we know that you're known as a knockout master in the era of professional boxing, and you've won all 30 fights so far, 27 of which have been knockouts, including many of the best fighters in the world, like Cortez who has 51 wins and only three defeats, 'York Boy' Camppass, who has 56 wins and 50 knockouts, and Obar, a powerful undefeated rookie known as 'City Motors.'" Although they are strong, they are all knocked out of the ring by you in the end. What motivated you to grow from an amateur fighter with a modest knockout rate to a professional champion with a very high knockout rate? This is an extraordinary change! “

Trinidad nodded and continued, "When I moved from amateur boxing to professional boxing, I aspired to be a high-knockout fighter, to be a knockout specialist, because I was dissatisfied with the fact that I couldn't knock out my opponents in amateur boxing matches, and I wanted the fans to like me and remember me, and I wanted my fights to make the fans excited and happy. I really gave a lot from a fighter with a low knockout rate to a fighter who focused on knockouts, and my dad helped me a lot during that time. ”

Katherman continued: "As you can imagine, there must have been a lot of hardship involved. Congratulations, you want the fans to remember you, and because you're excited and happy about your fight, you've actually done it now, you're already one of the few stars in boxing, and there aren't many fighters who have more influence in the professional world than you. “

Although the new round of interviews has not yet reached Wang Hao, Wang Hao is also listening attentively to the host Catherman's interview with Trinidad, for Trinidad's early experience, Wang Hao has long understood it, from an amateur boxer with a low knockdown rate to a boxing master with a knockdown rate of more than 90%, Trinidad has undergone a harsh transformation, which is very remarkable, there are very few boxers in the boxing world who can do this, which is also where Wang Hao appreciates Trinidade.

Moreover, it is true that Trinidad's influence in the boxing world is quite high, in Wang Hao's last life, in the entire pan-middleweight division before the rise of Mayweather and Pacquiao, among all the fighters, De La Hoya's influence can steadily surpass Trinidad, and others, Moseley's popularity has never been as high as Trinidad, and Fernando Vargas's peak period is too short, after being defeated by Trinidad, Fernando Vargas's influence is obviously not as good as Trinidad.

Katherman continued: "I know that although you have won all of your professional matches so far and knocked out almost all of your opponents, it has not been completely smooth in the course of these matches, especially against some of the best opponents with strong offensive ability, and you have been passive at the beginning of the fight, and even knocked down by your opponent, resulting in a lot of times, the opponent and most of the audience think that the fight is going to be over, but you quickly launch a more fierce attack on the opponent. And eventually knocked their opponents out of the ring. I can give a few examples, like when you fought Cortez and you were knocked down twice by Cortez in the second round, this was the first time you were knocked out in the fight. However, as Coster continued to chase you in the third round, ready to end the bout, you suddenly unleashed even more heavy punches. Coster looked defenseless under your heavy blows, and eventually lost even the ability to defend, forcing the referee to stop the match. ”

Katherman continued: "And you had a fight against 'York Boy' Camppass, who had a record of 56 wins, 50 of which were knockouts, and you weren't favored before that fight. And Campas knocked you down with a quick left hook in the second round, and the crowd in the ring thought the bout was coming to an end. However, you have shown people who the real boxing champion is. Not only did you hold on, but you also knocked out Campas in the fourth round, and the referee had to stop the fight in time. And then there's your fight with super undefeated rookie 'City Motors' Obar in Mexico. In the second round, Obar dropped you once with a straight right hand. However, for the next five rounds, you're pretty much in control of the match. And in the eighth round, you knocked out Okar twice, and after Okar got up for the second time, you launched a more violent attack, and Okar was completely defenseless, and the referee stopped the fight. ”

"These victories are extraordinary, it can be said that they are all losses first and then wins, and the transformation of victory and defeat is almost in an instant, you are like a righteous hero in the comics, although you were very passive at the beginning, but suddenly you mastered the mysterious power, and instantly defeated the opponent, please tell us, do you have any mysterious power? So that when you fall into adversity, you can fight back and win. “

Hearing what Catherman said, Trinidad also laughed and replied: "Of course there is no so-called mysterious power, it's just that I don't like to lose, and I don't like to be knocked down by my opponent, these three fights, I was indeed a little passive at the beginning, but I believe that I am stronger than my opponent, and when they want to really finish me, they can arouse the anger in my heart, I will attack fiercely, in fact, I did have the last laugh." ”

"Your tenacious will is evident in the boxing match!" Katherman also said with admiration. Qingfeng Literature

The focus of Catherman's interview with Trinidad is Trinidad's tenacious will quality, and the change of self-innovation, generally speaking, few fighters have the ability to achieve Phoenix Nirvana rebirth, even if there is, it is done occasionally, but Trinidad can be reborn in the game, and become stronger and stronger again and again, which may be in addition to strong strength, Trinidad is the most favorite place for fans, Wang Hao's appreciation of Trinidad, It is also derived from Trinidad's precious quality of will to be reborn from the ashes and reinvent oneself, which is the most valuable asset for a fighter, especially a fighter in adversity.

The interview with Trinidad is obviously longer than the previous interview with the "American Dream" WBA super welterweight champion David Rader and the "Viper" IBF welterweight champion Forrester, after the interview with Trinidad, it was finally the turn of the interview to sit on the left hand side of Trinidad, today's pan-middleweight boxing, the most influential, especially the unprecedented star boxing champion de la Hoya in the American boxing world, and after the interview with de la Hoya, it is naturally the turn of Wang Hao, who sits on the left hand side of de la Hoya.

"Hey!" Katherman said with a smile, "Mr. Golden Boy, let's talk about it now, when you hear the nickname 'Golden Boy', you will know how much American boxing fans love you, many people say that you have elegant looks and angelic aristocratic temperament, after you entered the professional boxing world, it can be said that you have blown a whirlwind of boxing idols in the sports world, many Americans are attracted to you and become your fans, middleweight can now be said to be the best thing in history, a large part of this is thanks to you, tell me your feelings." ”

De La Hoya smiled brightly and said, "I'm glad that so many fans like me, which is a bit more than I expected, and I hope to be able to give these fans a better fight, and I hope to be able to perform better in the ring." ”

"You're going to have to be better in the ring!?" "You're already doing really well, you're the boxing champion at the Barcelona Olympics, you've won the title in all four professional boxing classes, it's already a record for an American professional boxer to win a title in different classes, in other words, you're already the best pan-middleweight fighter in the history of American professional boxing, and you want to do better?" I can understand this mentality, but I'm really curious, what else can you do to be better? ”

De La Hoya laughs, "My goal is to get a six-division professional boxing belt!" ”

"Wow!" Catherman was shocked and exclaimed, "I heard you right, there is no precedent in the history of professional boxing to win the title in all six divisions, and it's even the first time I've heard of anyone who has such an idea." You've now earned the title in welterweight, having previously won the title in welterweight, lightweight, and super lightweight, and if you want to get a title in six divisions, it's going to move up to super welterweight and middleweight, is that really your intention? It's really crazy, it takes god-like weight control. ”

"Yes!" "This is my true idea, and I will make it happen!" ”

"It's amazing!" "I can only describe you in the word great." “

Several other boxing champions in the audience were also shocked when they heard that de la Hoya intended to win the title in six divisions, as elite fighters in professional boxing, they knew how important weight is for fighters, and how difficult it is to control weight, even top elite fighters like them are at most two or three divisions, and they have to fight in six divisions and win six divisions of boxing titles, such a thing, they never thought about it, de la Hoya's thoughts really shocked them.

Wang Hao, who had experienced the previous life, knew that de la Hoya had finally achieved his goal, won eight professional boxing championship belts in six divisions, and became a world professional boxing champion ten times, which is an unprecedented achievement.

But unfortunately, de la Hoya's unprecedented achievements did not last long, because the latecomer came too quickly, and this latecomer was naturally Pacquiao "Destroyer of Asia", who broke de la Hoya's record of six divisions of boxing titles, and greatly rewrote this record to eight divisions of world titles.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao also thought of a famous ancient Chinese proverb, that is, both Yu and He Shengliang, and Pacquiao in the same era De La Hoya will definitely have such feelings, if there is no Pacquiao's appearance, De La Hoya's record of six levels of boxing titles will remain for many years.

De La Hoya is currently the most influential middleweight fighter in professional boxing, especially in the United States, and the scene of de la Hoya's appearance in the boxing match is like a Michael Jackson concert, which is lively and popular.

The ratings of a show with de la Hoya are sure to be good, so Catherman's interview with de la Hoya is also long, even longer than Trinidad's.

When the interview with de la Hoya was finished, Catherman also turned to Wang Hao, showed a soft smile and said, "Let's talk about it, the great Mr. 'Dragon Fist'." ”
