Chapter 306: Second Professional Match (1)
Wang Hao, a boxer of the Rhine Boxing Club and a double Olympic and World Championships champion, appeared in blue shorts and a red cape with Chinese characteristics.
When Wang Hao walked through the boxers entering the aisle, the atmosphere of the scene quickly became enthusiastic, and the spectators sitting closer to the aisle stretched out their hands to say hello to the world champion.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the audience, Wang Hao was also in a good mood, and when he walked through the aisle, he stretched out his left and right hands, gently struck the hands of the audience on both sides, and greeted the audience on both sides.
Although Scherf is a native German fighter and has been playing professional for a longer time, the enthusiasm of Wang Hao when he appeared on the scene was obviously much better than the enthusiasm when Scherf appeared.
On the one hand, it is because of Wang Hao's amateur boxing Olympic and World Championship titles, and on the other hand, it is because of Wang Hao's wonderful performance in the last game and William's publicity.
William cultivated and invested Wang Hao as the number one star of the Rhine Boxing Club, so the promotion of Wang Hao was all-round and vigorous.
Although today's main event is a match between British featherweight champion Naseem Hamed and American fighter Kevin Kelly, huge posters of Wang Hao and Sherf were also hung outside the court, and the publicity was even more intense than the main event.
When Wang Hao entered, the huge TV screen in the ring also played the video of Wang Hao and Scherf's previous professional matches, Wang Hao's match was played with the highlights of Wang Hao's first professional fight knocking out Polish boxer Cavani, and the video of German boxer Scherf was also a wonderful shot of Scherf knocking down his opponent in many games.
With the entry of Scherf and Wang Hao, the atmosphere of the scene gradually entered a climax, and the audience's sense of expectation was bursting, and at the same time, they were also discussing.
"This match between Wang Hao and Scherf is very exciting!" A white German male spectator in a light blue coat stood and watched Wang Hao enter, and said, "I don't know who can win in the end, I feel very suspenseful!" β
Standing beside him, the friend who came with the German audience in a light blue coat was also full of anticipation in his eyes, and said: "From a technical point of view, the Olympic champion Wang Hao should be better, but Scherf's professional competition experience and body are too strong, this game is really hard to say, I think the biggest possibility is that Wang Hao will be very difficult to win this game with points!" β
The light blue coat replied: "I also think that Wang Hao may win the game in the form of a point advantage, but the process of the game will be very difficult, presumably the two fighters will set off a fierce battle, even if Wang Hao can win, he will pay a lot of price, the game will be very close, if Wang Hao is slack in the game, Scherf also has a great chance to win the game!" β
On the other side of the ring, several boxing coaches are standing together, ready to wait for the start of the match between Wang Hao and Sherf, in their opinion, it is really unwise for Wang Hao to choose a tough bone like Scherf for the second match of professional boxing.
After all, professional boxing is different from amateur boxing, the boxer has no protective gear, and the gloves are smaller and lighter, Wang Hao only played an official professional match, and only played for less than a minute in total, but in the second game, he chose a strong opponent like Scherf.
In the eyes of these boxing coaches, Wang Hao is overconfident, and Wang Hao may play ugly in this game.
"Although he is an Olympic boxing champion and a world champion boxing champion, it is a bit radical to choose an opponent like Scherf in the second game!" Said one of the shortest boxing coaches.
Another coach next to him said: "It's very likely that this is the promoter's arrangement, not the boxer's intention!" William spent a lot of resources to promote Wang Hao, and he definitely wanted to recover his earnings as soon as possible, which is estimated to have put pressure on the fighters. After all, today's fight, due to British boxing champion Naseem Hamad and American boxer Kevin Kelly, German, British and American fans will all watch, if Wang Hao can knock out Scherf to win the match, it will stick to a large number of fans and quickly increase Wang Hao's market value. β
The last tall coach said: "If that's the case, William is a bit of a risk!" β
The three coaches agreed that Wang Hao's second professional fight against a fighter like Sherf, who won 15 fights and knocked out opponents 14 times, was really not a good choice.
Although they think this is William's decision, but in fact, they all thought wrong, the choice of Scherf as the opponent of the second professional game is completely Wang Hao's own decision, although William spent a lot of effort and investment in Wang Hao's publicity, but never put pressure on Wang Hao, William believes that Wang Hao is a piece of real gold, which will naturally shine over time, William is not in a hurry to raise Wang Hao's market value in a short time.
In the applause and discussion of everyone, Wang Hao slowly walked up to the ring and took off the red cloak, and the voice of the commentary on the scene also sounded at this time.
There are two commentators for this competition, one is Adenauer, a well-known German professional sports host, and the other is a German native world champion light heavyweight champion Muller.
Adenauer said: "Mr. MΓΌller, what do you think of the upcoming match between Olympic and World Champion Wang Hao and Scherf? Both of them have very strong quality and very good results. β
As a good German boxer, MΓΌller recounted his opinion, "I think there is still a lot of suspense in this match, if I play an amateur boxing match, there is no doubt that I will choose Wang Hao to win, Wang Hao is not only an Olympic and World Champion but also has an undefeated history in amateur competitions, which is very amazing." But today's fight is an eight-round professional fight, and Scherf has already played more than a dozen professional fights, and the professional fights are more experienced and very strong than Wang Hao, who has only played one professional fight. β
"So I share the opinion of most of the audience, this game is still very suspenseful, but I think Wang Hao will be under more pressure than Scherf." Mueller continued.
"Why do you say that?" Adenauer asked, "Why is Wang Hao under more pressure than Scherf?" β
Muller said: "Because for Scherf, this is one of the dozen or so professional boxing matches he has played, although Wang Hao is very famous, but this is also a game without a title, so for Scherf, there is no big difference, it is good to win, even if it is lost, losing to the world champion of amateur boxing is not an unacceptable failure." β
"But for Olympic champion and world champion Wang Hao, the meaning of this game is completely different!" Muller continued, "In my opinion, Wang Hao, with the aura of an Olympic and World Championship champion, should normally continue his undefeated record like de la Hoya and Moseley until he becomes one of the four major boxing organizations, and that's what the fans expect from him, and if he loses in the second fight, I think it will be a fatal blow to his career!" β
Adenauer said: "That's right! I agree with you! So in this game, Wang Hao can't afford to lose, Wang Hao's loss of this game and Scherf's loss of this game have a completely different impact on each other. β
"However, there is one thing I think is that even if Wang Hao wins this match and wins the next matches, it will not be easy for Wang Hao to get the gold belt of any boxing organization in the ultra-lightweight division, because the four champions of the four major boxing organizations in the current ultra-lightweight division are all very strong! It's not easy to beat any of them. Adenauer is clearly very knowledgeable about the current ultra-lightweight landscape, elaborating.
At this time, Wang Hao and Scherf were ready, and the game was about to start.
"Good! Dear spectators, let's turn our attention to the ring, where Olympic and World Champion Wang Hao and Germany's Schellf are about to begin! β
In the ring, Wang Hao and Scherf were already standing in the center of the ring, on both sides of the referee, listening to the referee's final announcement of the game.
Sherf is slightly shorter than Wang Hao, but his body is stronger, with a beard and unusually well-developed chest hair.
After the referee finished the final precautions and signaled the game to start, Wang Hao and Scherf touched each other's gloves and retreated their respective fist corners.
Bite!
When the bell rang for the start of the first round, Wang Hao quickly walked to the center of the ring with a clenched fist, while his opponent, the German fighter Scherf, also quickly clenched the fist and moved forward steadily.
Wang Hao crossed the middle line of the ring first, but Scherf threw the first punch.
Boom! Boom!
Seeing Wang Hao moving forward, Scherf immediately hit Wang Hao with a straight punch with his left and right hands, the punch was fast and calm, and the hitting action was also very standard.
However, in Wang Hao's view, Scherf's textbook-like punching is too familiar, and it is very easy to deal with.
Boom!
Wang ducked back from Scherf's two straight punches and quickly landed a forehand jab.
Wang Hao's forehand jab was quick and the blow was very accurate, hitting Scherf directly in the face.
Wang Hao's jab was a heavy jab, and the weight was not light, and after hitting Scherf, it also made the latter's head tilt back slightly.
But Scherf, who was punched, remained unfazed and continued to take a step forward and unleash a ferocious right hook.
Scherf punched quickly and did a pretty good job, with his gloves slicing through the air and bringing out a burst of wind.
However, Wang Hao reacted faster, and when Scherf made a punch, Wang Hao was already aware of it, and immediately slid back and dodged Scherf's right hook.
Poof!
Scherf's right hook punched in front of Wang Hao and was empty.
Boom!
At the moment when Scherf empty his right hook, Wang Hao landed a small forehand hook.
Wang's forehand hook was very fast, and before Scherf could react to the defense, Wang Hao's forehand hook hit Scherf's chin.
Wang Hao's forehand small swing fist is not small, it is a heavy punch, and Scherf, who was hit by Wang Hao's forehand small swing fist, also swung his head, but he still resisted Wang Hao's forehand small swing.
Scherf quickly grabbed his right hand to protect his right cheek and landed a left jab before doing so.
Boom!
Scherf's jab was very fast, and Wang Hao had just leaned forward to finish his forehand small hook, when Wang Hao's forehand small hook was finished, and his body immediately rebounded, Scherf's left hand jab had already hit.
Wang Hao was hit in the forehead by Scherf's left jab in the process of bouncing back, this punch was a clear point, but because Wang Hao was retreating, this punch was not solid.
Scherf's punches and movement speed are not as fast as Wang's, and his reflexes are slower than Wang's, and this time the jab was able to hit Wang Hao, showing Scherf's solid boxing skills.
Wang Hao also retreated immediately after being punched, but Sherf planned to continue to move forward and close the distance with Wang Hao, Scherf had already felt that Wang Hao's arm span was much longer than him, and it was difficult to effectively hit Wang Hao if he was not close to Wang Hao.
Sou!
Scherf clenched his fists and moved forward quickly.
However, Wang Hao continued to distance himself from Sherf after sliding back, and controlled the distance between the two to Wang Hao's jab that could hit Sherf, but Sherf had no way to hit Wang Hao's state.
In the retreat, Wang Hao threw jabs in succession.
Boom!
Wang Hao threw another clear heavy left-handed jab that hit Scherf in the forehead, but the latter resisted Wang's jab and continued to move forward.
Boom! Boom!
Wang Hao landed another jab that hit Scherf in the forehead, as well as a right back hand that tried to get past Scherf's two punches.
Wang Hao's jab and a right hand back hand are two consecutive punches, the speed is very fast, almost continuous hit Scherf, but Sherf's strength is very great, both hands are also held very tightly, hard resistance to Wang Hao's jab, Sherf blocked Wang Hao's right hand back hand punch with the boxing frame.
Boom!
Sherf also immediately hit a left-handed straight punch to counterattack Wang Hao, but at this time, Wang Hao had already begun to retreat and distanced himself from Sherf, Sherf's left-handed straight punch was not far enough and was empty.
Scherf clenched his fists like a tank and continued forward.
Boom!
Wang Hao struck another jab and hit Scherf's forehead again.
Scherf clenched his fists to protect the vital point, and at the same time, he also felt the power transmitted by Wang Hao's jab.
Wang Hao's jab is a heavy jab, Scherf also felt it, Wang Hao's jab power is extraordinary, he has fought sixteen professional opponents, some of these opponents may look stronger than Wang Hao, but the strength of the jab is not as good as Wang Hao, most people's jab may not even be half of Wang Hao's jab power.
But Scherf is also very confident in his ability to resist, although he has already felt that Wang Hao's strength is also amazing, but as long as he doesn't hit the key point clearly many times, just a jab to the forehead, Scherf thinks he can resist.
Sou!
Seeing Wang Hao continue to retreat to open up the distance, Scherf immediately slid forward with a quick step, suddenly closing the distance, and unleashed a ferocious right hook.
