Chapter 327: Fourth Professional Match (3)
Wang Hao and the Russian boxer, who is currently ranked third in the WBO ultra-lightweight division, fought very fiercely in the first round, and during the match, the two fighters also showed outstanding boxing skills.
At first, Wang Hao's continuous jab technique hit Lermontov many times, but Lermontov, who had experienced continuous jab techniques in the fight against Delahoya, immediately took measures to make it difficult for Wang Hao's back-to-back jab to hit Lermontov.
And Lermontov used the method of pressing people at the beginning, wanting to gain an advantage with some edge techniques at close range, so that Wang Hao could not punch at close range, and consumed Wang Hao's physical strength, but he didn't expect that Wang Hao's adaptability was also very strong.
When Lermontov tried to hold Wang Hao down again, Wang Hao, who had been prepared, immediately dodged and hit Lermontov with a heavy right hook.
These quick adaptations show the excellent technical reserves of Wang Hao and Lermontov, both of whom have a rich arsenal of fighters and are able to adjust their playing style according to the situation in the match.
When the audience praised Wang Hao's precise right hand hook that hit Lermontov, many viewers who knew more about boxing skills also expressed their amazement at the excellent technical ability shown by the two.
"Wang Hao and Lermontov's skills are really good, and they can quickly correct the mistakes they made in the previous games!" In the stands, an American amateur boxing coach praised the technical performance of the two fighters. ‘
"Hmmm! After all, one of the two is a boxing genius who won the Olympic Games and the World Championships, and the other is a top three boxer in the WBO rankings. But in my opinion, Wang Hao's technology is more dominant! A middle-aged black man who is also a boxing coach and a friend of the amateur boxing coach sitting next to him said.
The amateur boxing coach who spoke at the beginning nodded and agreed: "Wang Hao's technique is more delicate, faster, and his body is more flexible. ”
Amid the crowd's chatter, the fight in the ring continued.
Wang Hao quickly pulled away from Lermontov's side and hit Lermontov with a small right hook, much to Lermontov's surprise.
Lermontov is good at using edge technology, creating a lot of trouble for the opponents he has encountered before, and he has tried and tested, but Lermontov did not expect that this is the second time that this edge technology has been used in this game, and it has been cracked by Wang Hao.
Lermontov was amazed at Wang Hao's resilience.
But at this time, a small right hook hit Wang Hao after Lermontov, and immediately hit a left straight punch.
Wang Hao's straight left hand was very fast, and before Lermontov could react, he hit Lermontov's face again.
Boom!
Wang Hao's left straight punch was not only fast, but also powerful, and directly hit Lermontov's face.
At this time, Lermontov had just realized the defense, and he immediately retreated with a sliding step, distanced himself from Wang Hao, and hugged his fist with both hands.
After seeing Wang Hao's two consecutive punches, a small swing with his right hand and a straight punch with his left hand hitting Lermontov, Spinks, the former famous American heavyweight boxing champion who served as a commentator at the scene of the game, also exclaimed: "Wang Hao's reaction was too fast, and when Lermontov didn't suppress Wang Hao, he dodged and hit Lermontov's head continuously." A small right hook, a straight left, the punch was so fast and precise that Lermontov didn't even have time to react. ”
Poof!
After Wang Hao's left-handed straight punch hit again, followed by a straight right-handed punch, it was also hit.
But at this time, Lermontov had already picked up the boxing and retreated, and Wang Hao's straight right hand lost distance and was empty.
With a punch in the air, Wang Hao's steps were very fast, and he immediately stepped forward and hit a straight left hand again.
However, at this time, Lermontov showed his experience, and Lermontov landed a left hand small hook to Wang Hao.
Gripping and retreating are defensive techniques, but sometimes offense is also one of the defensive techniques.
Lermontov just received two heavy blows from Wang Hao, and his head was a little buzzing, Lermontov didn't want to be hit by Wang Hao again, and wanted to curb Wang Hao's momentum, so Lermontov hit Wang Hao with a small left hand swing to snipe Wang Hao.
When Wang Hao saw Lermontov's punch, he immediately stopped his advancing figure and clenched his fists to defend.
Boom!
Lermontov's left small hook punched Wang Hao's right glove, sending out a clear striking sound that echoed in the ring.
Although this is not an effective blow, but after all, it hit Wang Hao, and Lermontov knows that as long as his strength acts on Wang Hao's body, it will have an effect, even if it hits the boxing gloves, but the effect is worse, and it will not get points.
And for Lermontov, the most important thing is that this can contain Wang Hao's forward offensive.
After an incoming left hook hit Wang's right hand, Lermontov even wanted to make a flurry.
Boom!
Lermontov threw another straight right hand, trying to bombard the gap between Wang Hao's two gloves, trying to penetrate Wang Hao's boxing fight.
Still want to go back on the defensive?
Wang Hao thought in his heart, and immediately threw a straight left fist.
Boom!
Wang Hao's punches are faster, and when he throws a punch, his head swings to the left.
Rumble!
Wang's straight left hand arrived before Lermontov's straight right hand, hitting Lermontov's nose and face, and the punch sent Lermontov's nosebleed.
And after Wang Hao's punch hit Lermontov, Lermontov's right straight punch hit, but at this time, Wang Hao's head was already swinging to his left side when he punched.
Lermontov's straight right hand missed.
"Wow!" Spinks, who was commenting on the scene, found that he came first after seeing Wang Hao's left-handed straight punch, hit Lermontov, and dodged Lermontov's right straight punch, and said excitedly, "Wang Hao's reaction and punching speed are too fast, and the back punch actually hit Lermontov first, I guess Lermontov's heart must be very depressed now." ”
Lermontov was indeed very depressed, he hurriedly retreated again, and hugged his fists to prevent Wang Hao's attack again.
Boom!
After Wang Hao hit Lermontov's face and nose with a straight left hand, he immediately hit a straight right hand, but at this time Lermontov had already retreated again, and Wang Hao's straight right hand was empty.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lermontov retreated and unleashed a series of jabs to control Wang's forward attack.
Seeing this, Wang Hao did not attack strongly, Wang Hao knew that although he had hit Lermontov's three weighty punches just now, but the game was the first round, Lermontov was strong enough, and he was very good at protecting himself, Wang Hao knew that it was impossible for him to take Lermontov in one go, and even if he was not careful, he might be hit by Lermontov's heavy punches.
Wang Hao didn't plan to take this risk, and by now in the first round, Wang Hao has already felt it, Lermontov's strength is also very good, he is a heavy gunner, and he must not be careless when the opponent has not yet fallen.
The two men were once again in mid-to-long-range jab action, and the first round was in the final half-minute.
Boom! Boom!
Wang Hao unleashed a series of jabs in an attempt to hit Lermontov, but the latter was very cautious and shook his body while backing away, and Wang's jab missed.
Boom!
Lermontov also threw a jab and hit Wang Hao, but Wang Hao swung his head and easily dodged Lermontov's jab.
The final half-minute of the first round passed quickly.
In the final half minute, the two exchanged blows, with Wang Hao hitting two jabs for Lermontov and one for Lermontov.
Moreover, in a scuffle, Lermontov also hit a clear left hand straight punch from Wang Hao, so that in the last half minute, Lermontov seemed to occupy a slight lead.
Bite!
The bell rang and the first round was over, with both Wang Hao and Lermontov quickly closing their punches and walking back to their corners.
In the first round, there were no fighters being knocked out,
The two men hit each other, both hitting their opponents' jabs and heavy punches, but Wang Hao had significantly more punches than Lermontov had hit Wang Hao.
At this time, the on-site commentator Lermontov also clapped his hands and said: "Ladies and gentlemen on the scene and in front of the TV, hello everyone, the first round of Wang Hao and Lermontov's WBO Intercontinental Boxing Championship Silver Belt Tournament is over!" ”
"The two fighters have never fought each other before, and this is the first round of the first encounter between the two, so I wonder what everyone thinks of the performance of the two fighters?"
"Most of the audience will think that both fighters in the first round fought well, but there are certainly many viewers who are disdainful of some of the fringe techniques that Lermontov employed. Let me share my personal opinion. ”
Live commentator Spinks continued.
"I think in the first round, it was obvious that Wang Hao was better, but Lermontov did make some great punches. I briefly counted the hits of the next two fighters. ”
As a former excellent heavyweight champion, Spincks has solid boxing skills, and it is not difficult for Spinckes to count the number of hits between two fighters in a round.
While Spincks may have misjudged blocked punches and hits due to angle issues, they weren't too far off.
"According to my statistics, in the first round, Wang Hao hit Lermontov's nine jabs and six heavy punches, while Lermontov hit Wang Hao four jabs and three heavy punches in the first round."
Therefore, you can see that Wang Hao obviously won the first round, Wang Hao should have scored ten points in this round, and Lermontov got nine points. And the difference in the number of hits between the two is doubled, of course, because Lermontov's defense is also quite good, the difference in the number of hits between the two is not much different in absolute terms. Such a gap is not overwhelming, if Wang Hao is a little careless, the lead is easy to catch up. Spinks continued, "Let's move on to the next round. ”
During the break of the round, Wang Hao and Lermontov's coaches also paid attention to Wang Hao and Lermontov.
Sanchez and Paul told Wang Hao to calm down and not be in a hurry, although the first time to fight in the United States, if he can quickly finish the opponent, it will be of great help to Wang Hao's popularity, but Lermontov is not an ordinary fighter, Lermontov can seize the gap left by the opponent's mistakes.
So, Sanchez and Paul told Wang Hao that it was best to still play a safe first round, and Sanchez also told Wang Hao that he could do more jabs.
"When an opponent tries to get close and hold you down, it's also a good way to move your body and land an uppercut, or to land an uppercut early." In response to Lermontov's penchant for pressing people in the game, Sanchez also gave his own way of dealing with it and gave advice to Wang Hao.
On the other side of the ring, Lermontov's coaches also gave Lermontov ideas, mainly some suggestions and reminders on technical details, so that Lermontov could better dodge Wang Hao's attacks and make more effective punches.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
Ten seconds before the start of the second round, the sound of slapping sounded.
Wang Hao and Lermontov quickly got to their feet and prepared to start the second round.
Bite!
When the bell rang for the start of the match, Wang Hao and Lermontov clenched their fists and quickly came to the center of the ring.
Boom! Boom!
At the start of this round, the two fighters did not change their caution in the first round, and continued to play jabs from mid-to-long distance, with jabs and strikes resounding in the ring.
Boom! Boom!
Wang Hao once again hit a series of jabs, Wang Hao's punches were very fast, the first jab hit Lermontov before he had time to react, but the second jab that followed was due to Lermontov's diving dodge and missed.
Boom!
Lermontov, who dodged Wang Hao's jab, also hit a right uppercut when he got up, trying to hit Wang Hao's chin.
However, Wang Hao's reaction was very fast, and when he felt Lermontov's punch in the air, he immediately hugged his fist and retreated, and Lermontov's jab grazed Wang Hao's fist gloves and almost hit Wang Hao's chin, but it was still a little worse.
Boom!
Seeing Wang Hao retreating, Lermontov also threw a jab and tried to hit a wave of attacks.
However, at this time, Wang Hao also immediately dodged and dodged Lermontov's jab.
The jab was dodged, and Lermontov stepped forward again to close the distance, and at the same time landed a right back hand, but Wang Hao's body shook as he dived, and he dodged Lermontov's right hand again.
At this time, Lermontov was already close to Wang Hao, trying to use the edge technique of pressing people again.
However, Wang Hao, who remembered the advice given by Sanchez during the break, immediately made a step back at this time, and at the same time landed a heavy right uppercut.
Boom!
Lermontov was moving forward, and the distance between the two was not enough for Wang Hao to hit Lermontov with an uppercut, but because Wang Hao was also retreating, the distance between the two was widened, and Wang Hao's right uppercut clearly hit Lermontov's chin.
Wang Hao's punch was very heavy, and Lermontov, who was hit, was hit with his head raised high, and his expression was very painful.
