Chapter 338: Three Cushion Matches (Part I)

After Wang Hao finished weighing, Chavez, the most important boxer in the Mexican Independence Day boxing match, came out to weigh him.

The atmosphere at the weighing site was also at its climax at the moment of Chavez's appearance, with the Mexican audience and media members applauding to welcome their Mexican hero.

Chavez was in very good spirits today, with a confident smile on his face, took off his clothes, put on only shorts, and climbed the weighing platform.

"Sixty-four .1 kilograms!"

I was overweight!

Chavez is a good fighter with a lot of experience, and he was able to control his weight well before most of the fights, usually passing in one weigh-in, but he didn't expect to be overweight today.

Although it is only 0.1 kilogram overweight, the weighing rules of professional boxing matches are very strict, and it is not okay to exceed the weight limit by one gram, unless the match is a match with a protocol weight.

In this case, the fighter has an extra chance to weigh up, either by removing the shorts and weighing, or by taking a break and doing some exercise to lose weight.

In this match, Chavez and his team tried to control their weight at the upper limit of 64 kilograms in order to be sure to defeat Wang Hao, but they didn't expect it to exceed 0.1 kilogram, which made Zarvez and his coaching team a little embarrassed.

After consulting with his coaches, Chavez decided to move for half an hour before weighing himself.

The main means of weight loss for boxers is dehydration, sweating before weighing, removing the water in the body, because the reduction of water is very good to replenish, but the weight of the muscles is reduced, it is not able to make up quickly before the game, so boxers generally choose to sweat to dehydrate the body, but will not be dehydrated to affect the health and competitive state of the way to reduce weight before weighing.

Then, after weighing, the water is quickly replenished.

It's just that Chavez has controlled his weight too much this time, although he has done enough pre-game weight loss, but it is still a little short.

There was no way, Chavez went back to the lounge to do exercise and sweat, and half an hour later, came back to weigh again.

"Sixty-four kilograms!"

This time, Chavez just managed to keep his weight at the upper limit.

This also made the audience and the media breathe a sigh of relief, the match between Wang Hao and Chavez is too important, it is one of the most important events of this year's Mexican Independence Day, all parties have made a lot of investment and preparation for this game, it would be a pity if the game could not happen because of the weighing problem.

After Chavez's weigh-in, a reporter from Mexican national television at the scene also asked him a question, "After defeating American superstar Clares in the last fight, you have once again become the gold belt owner of the two major ultra-lightweight boxing organizations, and tonight you will face the challenge of boxing genius Wang Hao from China, what are your plans and thoughts for tonight and future matches?" “

Chavez held the microphone in his hand and replied: "I am surprised that there is such a good fighter as Wang Hao in the Asian boxing field, I admit that Wang Hao is very strong, but tonight I will beat Wang Hao like I defeated Clares." Then I'll have another fight with Camacho for the WBO super-lightweight belt, and I'll have all three ultra-lightweight belts in one, and then I'll have a super-lightweight finishing unification fight with current IBF super-lightweight champion Costa Zu. My goal is to bring all four of the ultra-lightweight boxing divisions back to Mexico once again. “

Hearing Chavez's thoughts and once again unifying the ultra-lightweight division, Mexican fans and media in the audience also burst into applause once again.

Chavez has dominated the super-lightweight division for a long time, and although he is now older, the wonderful performance in the last match against Clares let the audience know that Chavez definitely has the strength to dominate the super-lightweight division again, and they are full of anticipation.

Barrera and Morales also listened to Chavez's speech from the sidelines, and then applauded enthusiastically with the others, Chavez is the banner of Mexican boxing and the idol of Barrera and Morales, because of Chavez's success, it has given Barrera and Morales, young Mexicans the confidence to work hard to achieve success, they know that as long as they work hard, they can shine in the professional boxing world, because Mexican boxing seniors like Chavisz have set a good example for them.

After all the weighing, Wang Hao and Chavez walked to each other in the stands again, face each other again, and make one last push for tomorrow's game.

Wang Hao and Chavez approached each other from the middle of the two sides of the stands, until the toes of the two were almost together, and the eyes of the two were only less than ten centimeters apart, just like that, the two looked at each other expressionlessly, Wang Hao was a little taller than Chavis, slightly lowered his head, and stared at Chavisz from top to bottom, while Chavisz raised his head and stared at Wang Hao with the same firm eyes, and the two could even hear each other's breathing clearly.

Tonight's guest commentators are also big enough names, there are two in total, one is Robert Duran, one of the four kings of professional boxing in the 80s, and the other is Camacho, a famous current Puerto Rican boxer.

At this time, although Robert Duran was still playing professionally, he was already old, and he was active in the eighties, and was known as the four-heavenly king of middleweight along with Hagler, Leonard and others, and was a household name in the boxing field in the eighties and nineties.

With a ferocious fighting style in the ring, heavy right hand, and the nickname "Stone Hand," Robert Duran went from lightweight to middleweight, once won five titles in three divisions, and is a Hall of Fame-level champion.

And Camacho, although he is also a little older, is almost thirty-five years old, but he is still the strongest fighter in the ultra-lightweight division of professional boxing, after Moseley is promoted, Camacho is currently promoted to the first place in the WBO ultra-lightweight division, and will be Wang Hao's opponent for the WBO boxing title.

Camacho and Chavez are almost contemporaries, and their boxing prowess and results are not much different.

Camacho has won multiple titles, losing only points to Chavez, Trinidad and de la Hoya.

There were also commentators on the scene, as well as the host of the sports program on Mexican national television, so that there were three people on the scene who served as commentators.

Robert Duran and Camacho came to the scene as commentators, which also aroused great interest among the fans, tonight's game fighters are either boxing legends or top rookies in boxing, which is exciting enough, plus the commentary of the old boxing legend Robert Duran and the current top fighter Camacho, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV also has a great sense of happiness.

Before the official start of the boxing match, a local Mexican entertainer performed a dance with Mexican national characteristics, and then the competition officially began.

The first bout will be a match between Cuban 64kg superfighter Hernandez, a former Olympic and World Champion champion, and Lundez, a super-lightweight fighter from Mexico.

Among them, Lunders is the current WBA American Intercontinental Boxing Champion, and Hernandez, who has just entered professional boxing, is a challenger.

When the two fighters entered the stadium along with the live music, the sound of the live commentary also sounded.

The host of the sports channel of Mexico's national television presents the professional achievements of the two fighters.

"Cuban boxer Hernandez, now Chinese New Year's Eve years old, was once the strongest fighter in the International Boxing Federation 64kg class in the amateur boxing era, won two world championships and one Olympic champion, and only entered the professional boxing world this year, and currently has a professional record of two wins, all of which were won by knockout opponents, and is currently ranked 17th in the WBA 64kg class."

"And the fighter Hernandez will challenge is the current WBA super lightweight continental boxing champion, Mexican Lundes, Lundez, who is now 27 years old, has never fought amateur boxing, has a professional record of 31 fights, 27 wins, four losses, and 18 knockouts in the victory, and is currently ranked 11th in the WBA 64kg class."

After the host of the sports channel of the Mexican national television introduced the professional records of the two fighters, Robert Duran also said: "Speaking of Cuban boxer Hernandez, who is also a boxer from Central American countries, although he was not a professional boxer before, but I am also very familiar with him, Hernandez used to be the king of amateur boxing 64 kg, but in the final of the Atlanta Olympics was defeated by Wang Hao, a Chinese boxer who is going to challenge Chavisz tonight, this is Hernandez for many years, The only defeat in amateur boxing had a big impact on him. “

Although Robert Duran is a professional boxer, and the intensity of the competition is very small, he is very familiar with the boxers and some major fights in the professional boxing field as well as in the amateur boxing field, and he said that Wang Hao once defeated Hernandez in the amateur boxing era, Camacho and the host of Mexican national television did not know.

After hearing this information, the host of Mexican national television was also surprised: "I didn't expect Hernandez and Wang Hao to have such a story, so now both of them are professional boxers, and they both play in the 64kg class, and they mainly fight in the WBA, so to speak?" “

"That's right!" Robert Duran replied, "As far as I know, although Hernandez lost to Wang Hao, he has a heart for revenge and wants to fight Wang Hao again. ”

In the introduction of several people, the match between Hernandez and Lunders began.

Hernandez's speed and power in the 64kg class are outstanding, and as an Olympic and World Champion with superb technique, Hernandez took the initiative to attack from the start of the competition.

And Hernandez's opponent, the current WBA super lightweight American Intercontinental Champion title holder, Mexican Lundez, is also very aggressive, he is a Mexican-style fighter who dares to fight, seeing Hernandez take the initiative to attack, Lundez is not to be outdone, and actively fights against Hernandez.

But unfortunately, although Lundez is also very strong and has more experience in professional matching, Hernandez is too strong for him, and it is difficult for Lundez to compete with Hernandez in terms of technique and physical fitness.

The two fought each other for more than a minute, and Lundes was hit by Hernandez a few hard blows, and gradually became a little unable to support it, and began to defend passively, but still could not fully resist Hernandez's attack, and in the second minute of the first round, Lunders was knocked down by Hernandez with a right uppercut.

Lunders got back to his feet after the countdown and continued to get back into the fight, but less than half a minute later, Lunders fell to the canvas again after a more ferocious right flat hook from Hernandez, which nearly made Lunders lose the ability to continue.

Finally, after the countdown was over, the referee found that Lunders was still unable to stand on his feet, and the match was terminated in time, and Hernandez knocked out Lunders to win and become the owner of the WBA Super Lightweight Intercontinental Champion of the Americas.

"Wow! Hernandez knocked out Rundes to win the match, and it was the first round of the fight! When Hernandez won the match, the host of Mexican national television also exclaimed, "It is conceivable that Hernandez is not far from getting the opportunity to compete with Wang Hao, and the old enemies will continue their unresolved grievances in the amateur boxing era!" “
