Wang Hao carefully read his draw and grouping results, Jiang Tao at this time also read the results of his 91 kg draw, Jiang Tao's first two opponents are not very strong, and he is more confident in winning the game.
After Wang Hao and Jiang Tao watched the draw and group results, they also quickly left the weighing site and came to the temporary training venue prepared by the organizing committee to start pre-competition training.
Vladimir above the ninety-one kilogram level? Klitschko also finished weighing and drawing grouping, and Vladimir? Klitschko's opponent turned out to be the American fighter Kray, who had just demonstrated to him? Seashell.
Wang Hao also saw the results of this draw, Wang Hao thinks that Clay? Bei Zhen still has a strong back, and met the current champion Vladimir in the first round? Klitschko, naturally, only the ones that were eliminated.
Even if Clay? Bey called fierce before the game, but this is useless, boxing is a real sport that speaks with fists, whoever has a strong fist can have the last laugh in the ring.
The U.S. boxing team got together and watched the draw results.
Jill? Won't the opponent in the first round be too strong, Jill? Varjes is sure to win the first round, but when Gil? When Watters saw that he would face Wang Hao in the second round, his mood suddenly fell to a low point.
Thirty-two fighters in the competition, Jill? Wagjes' biggest fear is Wang Hao and Hernandez, since the last World Championships defeat to Wang Hao, Gil? Vojes was left with a shadow in his heart.
met Wang Hao so early in the Olympics, so that Jill ? Vargeth had a feeling that he had committed a crime.
David? When Diaz saw that he would face Bulgarian fighter Ichkov, who is ranked fourth in the International Boxing Federation, in the second round, his face was also a little serious and he felt some pressure.
But the pressure didn't make David? Diaz was lost and instead gave it to David? More motivation for Diaz, David? Diaz is stronger in his quest to win, David? The same is true of Diaz's character, who is brave enough to move forward when he encounters any strong enemy.
David? Diaz decided to give it a go at this Olympics, no matter who he met, whether it was Ichkov or Wang Hao, or even Hernandez, he would fight hard to the end and show his strength in the past year.
Mitchell, the head coach of the U.S. team, also watched the grouping, and he felt that his players were not very lucky in the draw this time, especially in the heavyweight division.
Heavyweight Clay? Bey actually met Vladimir in the first round? Klitschko, which surprised and depressed Mitchell.
Clay? Bey's strength is very strong, except for meeting Vladimir? Klitschko's chances of winning are relatively small, but he can basically win against other heavyweights who are competing in the Olympics this time.
In Mitchell's eyes, Clay? Even if Bey can't win a gold medal, it's a sure thing to win a medal at this Olympics, but Mitchell didn't expect that Clay? Bey actually met Vladimir in the first round? Klitschko.
It's literally back home.
Mitchell said, "Clay! And Vladimir? Klitschko's game, you must be especially careful! I'll be focusing on you for the two days leading up to the game! ”
Clay? Bey saw that he actually met Vladimir in the first round? Klitschko, too, was a little surprised, but unlike Mitchell's worries, he was relieved, he was very confident in his preparation, and the main goal of the preparation was Vladimir? Klitschko, it was too early to meet in the first round.
But since you've met in advance, let's give it a go, Clay? Bei was also enthusiastic, and said in his heart.
Wang Hao's opponent in the first round, German boxer Schleier, accompanied by his coach, looked at the grouping results of the final game, and when he knew that he was going to face the world champion Wang Hao in the first round, Schleier also felt that the fierce battle came a little early.
Schleier also participated in the World Boxing Championships in Hamburg, but was eliminated by Ichkov, who later won the silver medal, in the quarterfinals, so Schleier is no stranger to Wang Hao, who won the gold medal.
Schleyer's coach also saw the grouping, and cheered Schleier on: "Don't feel too much pressure, although Wang Hao is very strong, but he is too young, and he is not experienced enough in the competition, we prepare well, and it is not without opportunities, in the past two days, we have studied Wang Hao's previous game video and made the game strategy a little more detailed!" ”
Schleier also nodded when he heard what the coach said, and he believed that he was still stronger than Wang Hao at least in terms of competition experience and psychological quality, after all, he had been fighting in adult boxing for seven or eight years, and Wang Hao had only been fighting for a year.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day of the first round of the Olympic boxing competition.
Wang Hao arrived early at the indoor sports center in Atlanta's Olympic Park to participate in the pre-competition weighing and preparation activities.
To Wang Hao's surprise, his opponent German boxer Schleier came earlier, and has been doing rhythmic preparation activities, obviously Schleier is a very attentive boxer.
The bout started quickly, starting with the fighters with the serial numbers "One" and "Two", David? Diaz and Kosuke Fuji's match.
This game, David? Diaz showed his strength and won very well, and after three rounds, he won by a large margin over Kosuke Fuji, including two heavy blows, which allowed Kosuke Fuji to be read by the referee.
Immediately followed by Ichkov, who was drawn to the third number, also came to the stage and successfully won the opponent, and David? Diaz both made it to the second round, and the two will also be opponents in the second round.

Wang Hao wore a Chinese red shorts and vest today, and walked into the ring first.
And Schleier wore white shorts and a vest, and immediately walked into the ring after Wang Hao.
Schleier is a white fighter, and he's a bit fat relative to most fighters in the 64-kilogram class.
Two fighters are introduced on the spot.
"The boxer in red shorts and tank top is Wang Hao, a boxer from China, who is also the champion of the last World Boxing Championships and is currently ranked third among the 64kg fighters in the International Boxing Federation! Second only to Cuban fighter Hernandez and Russian fighter Kamenlev. ”
"Wang Hao is very young, the youngest boxer to participate in the boxing competition of this Olympic Games!"
"Wearing white shorts and a tank top is the German boxer Schleyer, who is also a very good boxer who often participates in international competitions, and his best result in international competitions is a bronze medal at the World Championships."
"Schleier is experienced, ten years older than Wang Hao!"
The match was about to start, and Wang Hao and Schleier came to the center of the ring to listen to the referees from the United States introduce the precautions of the game.

The bell rings and the game begins!
After the start of the game, Wang Hao was very active and took the lead in striding towards Schleier, while Schleier moved forward in small steps.

When Wang Hao was close to Schleyer's arm's length, Schleier punched first and landed a straight front hand to hit Wang Hao.

The blow was clear, but not very powerful.
Boom!
Schleier, who was hit by Wang Hao, also immediately counterattacked, a right hand back punch, the punch was very fast, and the strength was also very strong, hitting Wang Hao's forehead.
However, Wang Hao was faster, and immediately shook his body, and his upper body moved from the left to the right, making Schleier's right hand back hand lose its crosshair and hit the air.
Boom! Boom!
Wang Hao, who was leaning down, threw two hooks with his left and right hands, hitting Schleier in the ribs on both sides, which were two clear points.

The score of the two became three to one.
After being punched, Wang Hao immediately slid back and distanced himself from Schleier.
At the beginning of the round, the two of them fought, Wang Hao also felt it, although Schleier was a little fat, but his movement was also flexible, his reaction and speed were good, and the weight of his fists was also there.
When Schleier saw Wang Hao retreating, he continued to move forward and threw a jab at the same time.
Sou! Sou!
Schleier threw quick punches and landed two jabs in quick succession to try to hit Wang's points.
Wang Hao dodged Schleyer's first jab with a backward lean, then shook his head to the left to dodge Schleyer's second jab and countered with a small left hook.
Boom!
Wang's left-handed small hook was precise, bypassing Schleyer's fist and hitting Schleyer's temple.
Wang Hao's left-handed small hook was not very powerful, but it was very fast, and when he hit Schleyer, the latter had time to react.

The first round of the two continued.
In the first round, both men seemed to be focused on scoring points, all of their punches were fast, but they didn't have much power and rarely landed back-to-back combinations.
As time went on, the first round of the two's fight was quickly over.
In the first round, Wang Hao took a large lead over Schleier by 11-3 points.
Bite!
After a brief one-minute break, the second round began immediately.
Wang Hao and Schleier walked to the center of the ring at the same time, and Schleier first landed a jab that hit Wang Hao in the face.
Boom! Boom! Boom!

Straight punch with right hand! Straight punch with left hand!
Wang Hao hit Schleier in the face with a straight right hand, followed by a straight left hand that also hit Schleier's face, and at this time, Schleier's first jab hit Wang Hao weakly.
Boom!
The third of Wang's combinations was a right backhand that was powerful enough to hit Schleier the chin.
Schleier, who was hit, staggered under his feet and stepped back.
"Stop!"
The referee shouted and walked up to Schleier to count the seconds.
Professional boxing can only be counted when they fall to the ground, but in amateur boxing, a boxer can be counted when he is hit hard.
There is also no limit to the number of knockouts you can get in a single round, and in amateur boxing, you lose the match if you are counted three times in a round.
These rules are the same as amateur fighters wearing more protective gear and thicker gloves, all to better protect the athletes, but to reduce the spectacle of the fight.
Schleier was hit in the chin by Wang Hao's heavy right hand punch and stumbled under his feet, which was the reason why the referee on the court gave Schleier a countdown.
"Three!"
"Four!"
。。。
"Eight!"
After the referee read eight to Schleyer, he judged that Schleier could continue the game, and signaled the referee off the court to deduct one point from Schleyer, and the game continued.
Wang Hao strode over to Schleier, who unleashed a powerful right hook that tried to hit Wang.
Although Schleier's speed is not slow, it is still slow for Wang Hao, and the movement of the hook is too big.
Wang Hao immediately slipped back to dodge Schleyer's right hook, followed up and stepped forward again, coming in front of Schlaier, and at the same time landed a right uppercut.
Boom!
Wang Hao's right uppercut hit Schleier's chin hard again, and the latter stepped back with a painful expression, but at this time Wang Hao's left straight hand hit again.
Boom!
Wang Hao's left hand straightened out, like a long dragon, and struck Schleier in the face, and the latter fell to the ground.
"Stop!"
The referee's voice sounded again, signaling Wang Hao to stand in the opposite corner of the fist, and at the same time began to count the seconds for Schleier.
"Three!"
"Four!"
"Five!"
When the referee counted to "five", Schleier began to sit up from the ground with difficulty.
"Seven!"
"Eight!"
When the referee counted to "eight", the weak Schleier had not yet stood up straight.
"It's over!"
The referee waved his hand to signal the end of the game, and Wang Hao won the first round.
Wang Hao smiled, walked back to the corner of his fist, and with Bian Fang's assistance, began to remove the protective gear.
In this game, Wang Hao did not exert his strength in the first round, and only began to exert his strength when the opponent was unprepared in the second round, and a backhand hit Schleier hard.
Although Schleier resisted the first reading, his form never recovered, so Wang Hao easily knocked out Schleier again and ended the game.
