Chapter 339: Three Cushion Matches (Part II)

In the first bout of Mexico's Independence Day boxing match, Hernandez faced the Mexican 64-kilogram continental boxing champion Lundes, which ended with Hernandez knocking out Lundes in the first round.

Hernandez has proven that he is as sharp in professional boxing as he was in the amateur boxing era, so that Hernandez will be crowned the Intercontinental Champion of the Americas and move up to 11th place in the WBA super lightweight rankings, and Hernandez is already eligible to challenge for the WBA title.

In the athletes' seats under the ring, Wang Hao and Sanchez sat together and watched the match between Hernandez and Lunders.

Although Wang Hao still has a game behind, generally speaking, he should prepare and wait in the lounge at this time, but Wang Hao is still very concerned about Hernandez, an old opponent.

And Hernandez has not come out of amateur boxing for so many years, and now he has suddenly left the amateur boxing field and started to play professional boxing, and he also debuted in the 64kg ultra-lightweight division, and also mainly plays in WBA ranking matches.

Wang Hao knew that with Hernandez's strength, he would soon be qualified for the World Boxing Championship, which made Wang Hao very concerned, so Wang Hao came to the scene to watch Hernandez's game, wanting to see if there were any changes in Hernandez's time this year.

By watching the match between Hernandez and Lunders, Wang Hao found that Hernandez is now a little better than when he was playing amateur boxing, mainly because he is moving faster and more fluently.

The host of Mexican national television, who knew about the feud between Hernandez and Wang Hao, also lost no time in stepping into the ring when the results of the match between Hernandez and Lunders were officially announced, and asked some questions that could arouse the interest and attention of fans.

A reporter from Mexican national television walked up to the ring, stood beside Hernandez and asked: "Mr. Hernandez, congratulations on winning the match, and winning very well, we understand that you have a very brilliant record in the era of amateur boxing, you have destroyed almost all the fighters who have challenged you in the era of amateur boxing, except for one boxer, I want to ask you, you left amateur boxing for ten years, landed in professional boxing at the age of thirty, and continued to fight in the sixty-four kilogram class, Which fighter are you chasing? “

Hernandez was a little surprised to see reporters from Mexican national television take the stage after his fight, because tonight's bout, except for Hernandez and Lundes, every bout is very important, and it is a world professional boxing title.

Hernandez only played a game with an intercontinental title, and generally speaking, this kind of game with low importance, the live host will not usually go on stage to interview.

However, after hearing the host's question, Hernandez immediately understood the other party's intentions.

The host of Mexican national television obviously knew that Hernandez had lost to Wang Hao in his amateur boxing career, and now the two are both fighting in the ultra-lightweight division of 64 kilograms, and Wang Hao is one of the protagonists of this evening.

While admiring the ability of the Mexican national television host to grasp the hot news, Hernandez replied: "I am a straightforward person, since you asked this question, I will say it directly!" I used to be the undisputed king of amateur boxing in the 64kg class, but I lost to the exceptional fighter you just mentioned, and that exceptional fighter is Wang Hao, a boxing genius from China.

Wang Hao's ability to defeat me made me respect him a lot, and that respect was no less than the respect that Mexican fans have for Chavez. But it's just respect, it doesn't mean I'm going to surrender to him, and I've learned the lesson of losing to Wang Hao at the Atlanta Olympics. I can clearly tell everyone on the scene that I only came to the professional boxing world at the age of 30, and a big part of the purpose is to be able to fight Wang Hao again! “

"I must fight Wang Hao again, whether it is an amateur boxing match or a professional boxing match, as long as it is in an official boxing match, I want to defeat Wang Hao and wash away my failures! Prove myself again! Hernandez didn't speak in a high tone, but he was extremely firm in his thoughts.

When Hernandez finished speaking, the audience at the scene was also boiling, and many Mexican boxing fans also knew that Hernandez was such an excellent Cuban boxer, but they didn't expect that Hernandez, an excellent boxer from a boxing powerhouse, was defeated by Wang Hao, unforgettable, and even chased to the professional boxing arena, wanting to fight with Wang Hao again.

This made the audience at the scene even more impressed by Wang Hao, the young Chinese fighter who made his debut in Mexico for the first time, has left a deep impression in their hearts.

Wang Hao, who is in the ring, after hearing Hernandez's speech, naturally knows that Hernandez's entry into the professional boxing world does have a lot to do with him.

Because the match was about to be played, Wang Hao didn't want to be discovered by the host on the scene, and then walked into the ring at this time and unexpectedly came face-to-face with Hernandez.

Wang Hao had no interest in this, so after listening to Hernandez's speech, Wang Hao quietly left with Sanchez.

But for the future and Hernandez to play again, Wang Hao neither expects nor excludes, Wang Hao has already defeated Hernandez once, and does not need an extra game to prove himself, but if the WBA or agent arranges a match between him and Hernandez in the future, Wang Hao will also come.

The match between Hernandez and Lundez was supposed to be a ten-round match, and although Hernandez finished Lundez in the first round, the bout ended much early, but an unexpected interview by the host of Mexican state television extended the fight for almost 20 minutes, and when everyone walked out of the ring, it was time for Barrera to start his next fight against Puerto Rican Jemenez, the current WBO super bantamweight champion.

This is the first time that the newcomer has challenged for a world title and the beginning of an illustrious career for the Mexican trio.

At the moment when Barrera, who was the challenger, appeared on the field, the loud voice of the host sounded again, "Barrera, now twenty-three years old, has won all 17 matches in his career, and won 15 midterm matches by knocking out his opponent!" He has a calm personality and sharp playing style, especially his right hand has the power of a decisive blow, and he is called 'Babyface Assassin' by fans! ”

Barrera is one of Mexico's youngest and best boxing talents, the hope of the future of Mexican boxing, and the tone of the host's introduction to Barrera is completely different, full of joy and pride in being Mexican.

At this time, most of the audience, especially the Mexican audience, stood up and gave Barrera a welcome hero-like applause.

Behind the Barre stage, followed by the current Puerto Rican champion Jemenez of the World Boxing Organization WBO Super Bantamweight, he wore traditional Puerto Rican costume and walked through the boxer's tunnel to the sound of live music.

The voice of the host at the scene also sounded at the right time, "Puerto Rican fighter Jemenez, WBO super bantamweight belt holder, now 29 years old, has 32 career fights, 27 wins, 5 losses, and 20 knockout victories. “

As soon as the two fighters took the stage, the bout began quickly.

Playing in Mexico City, Barrera was committed to putting on a great show for his home country, and Barrera played aggressively from the first round, while Puerto Rican fighter Jemenez also played very aggressively at first, but after feeling the power of Barrera's right hand, Jemenez began to focus on defense.

The first round between the two men was similar, with Barrera having a slight upper hand, and although he landed two or three heavy right hands from Jemenez, they were only one-handed punches that didn't have much impact on Jemenez.

From the second round onwards, Jemenez began to play to his advantage, and the two men exchanged victories, from the second round to the eighth, with the two men basically winning four rounds each.

In the ninth round, the bout began to take a turn of events, and this round may have been due to some fitness issues with Jemenez, and towards the end of the round, Barella knocked out Jemenez with a ferocious right hand.

But Jemenez quickly got back to his feet, and Barella wasn't able to continue to finish Jemenez before the end of the round.

In the next three rounds, Jemenez's fitness began to recover, and Barrera, while aggressive, was unable to knock Jemenez down again, and the two men fought for the full twelve rounds.

The final three judges unanimously decided that Barella won the match by points, with one 115-113 and two 116-112, with Barrera winning two or three more rounds than Jemenez.

Barella and his coaching staff were thrilled to hold the WBO super-bantamweight belt, and the crowd gave them the warmest applause.

"Barrera played well! The technical style is rigorous, and Jemenez has little chance to play! After watching the game, Robert Duran also praised Barella's performance.

Camacho, who is also Puerto Rican, saw the defeat of his country's fighters, but he also had to praise Barrera's excellent performance, Camacho said: "There is a successor to the boxing career in Mexico!" “

Immediately after the match between Barella and Jemenez, it will be the final cushion match of the evening, with Morales and the current WBC super bantamweight champion American Daniel, who will challenge Daniel for the WBC super bantamweight belt, and like Barrera, this is also the first time Morales has challenged for the World Championship title.

As the challenger, Morales was the first to appear in the warm applause of the audience, and the excited voice of the host sounded again, "Now it is another outstanding fighter of the younger generation in Mexico, Morales, who is also my favorite young Mexican fighter, Morales is now 21 years old, and has won all 15 fights in his career so far, including 14 knockout opponents!" “

Whether it is Barella or Morales, as the strong Mexican trio of the future, they all won and maintained a very high knockout rate when they first debuted.

The only thing that can defeat them is the Mexican trio himself, as well as demonic fighters like Pacquiao and Mayweather.

As Morales stepped onto the ring, almost all of the Mexican crowd stood up and applauded their hero, and Daniel, the current WBC super-bantamweight champion, also began to appear.

Daniel is a muscular white fighter who takes the field in the company of his coaching staff, who are behind them waving American flags.

"The current WBC super bantamweight champion American Daniel, now 26 years old, has won 25 fights in his career, lost one fight, and won 22 of those fights by knockout."

Although he is the same as Puerto Rican Jemenez, he is the champion of the four major boxing organizations in the super bantamweight boxing organization, but it is clear that American Daniel, both in age and professional record, is a bit more dazzling than Jemenez, Daniel is younger and has a higher knockout rate, which means that Morales is facing a very strong and young boxing champion.

The two-man race soon began.

In the first round, Morales was mainly tentative, while Daniel took the initiative to attack and frequently threw heavy punches, as if seeing Morales's body too thin, wanted to take Morales down with one punch.

But anyone in boxing who knows Morales knows that although Morales looks thin and even a little sick, he is indeed a real tough guy in boxing.

From the second round, Morales became more familiar with Daniel's offensive routines and began to play more attacks, the two hit each other, Daniel tried to defeat Morales through physical advantage, but found that Morales was very strong in both offensive ability and defense and resistance ability, Daniel could not establish an advantage in the attack against Morales, and gradually fell to the bottom.

From the third and fourth rounds, Morales gradually took the initiative on the court, while Daniel began to retreat from the confrontation with Morales.

However, Daniel's fighting ability is also very good, and Morales also struggled to take Daniel quickly, and finally in the tenth round, Morales knocked out the already exhausted Daniel once.

In the eleventh round, Morales knocked Daniel down twice, and the referee stopped the fight on the second takedown.

The WBC Super Bantamweight Championship Challenge ended with Morales knocking out reigning champion American Daniel in the eleventh round.
