Chapter 207: The quarterfinals are over
Kurishenko knocked Latiz down with a sudden right hook and launched a wild attack after Latiz got to his feet, trying to beat Latiz with a bang, but on the one hand, Latiz did not suffer a heavy blow when he fell to the ground, and on the other hand, Latiz was very skilled defensively.
Kulishenko bombarded dozens of punches indiscriminately, but instead of defeating Latiz, he let himself fall into exhaustion for a while, and Latiz seized the opportunity to knock out Kurishenko again.
The audience at the scene suddenly played a wonderful counterattack when they saw Latiz, who had been passively defending, with a straight left hand and a right back hand punch, which directly knocked down Kurishenko, and suddenly became even more emotional.
When Kurishenko knocked down Latiz with a punch just now, the emotions of the audience were mobilized, and then Kurishenko launched a stormy attack on Latiz, wanting to eat Latiz in one bite, which made the audience at the scene take another step up and look at the ring with their whole body engrossed.
Unexpectedly, the plot reversed, just knocked down, Latiz, who seemed to be passive, suddenly counterattacked, and knocked down Kurishenko with two punches, and the two of them in this round of the game, you knocked me down for a while, and I knocked you down again for a while, which made the audience feel very dramatic.
"Three!"
"Four!"
The referee quickly walked up and motioned for Latiz to stand in the opposite corner of his fist while starting to count the seconds for Kurishenko.
Wang Hao watched the referee on the court count the seconds for Kulishenko under the ring, although Latiz suddenly knocked down again seemed a little surprised, but in Wang Hao's opinion, it was reasonable.
In Wang Hao's opinion, although Latiz was knocked down just now, he didn't suffer much damage, which can be seen from the fact that Kurishchenko attacked with all his might, but there was no way to open Latiz's defense.
Wang Hao felt that when Kurishenko found that there was no way to defeat Latiz, he should accept it when he saw it, conserve his strength, and devote himself to gaining points, instead of continuing to attack, causing his own consumption to be too great, and he was knocked down by Latiz who seized the opportunity to counterattack.
Therefore, Wang Hao feels that in terms of game experience and mastery of game opportunities, Latiz is much better than Kurishenko.
There is less than a minute left in the match between Latiz and Kulishenko, and Kulishenko, who had an advantage, suddenly became the weak side again, and then, whether Kulishenko can survive this round depends on his performance after standing up.
Wang Hao knows that if Kurishenko gets up smoothly, Latiz will definitely fight hard to win Kurishenko in this round.
"Six!"
"Seven!"
"Eight!"
When the referee on the field counted to "six", Kurishenko slowly began to get up from the ground, and when he counted to "eight", he stood up straight.
"Can you keep playing?"
The referee asked.
"Yes!" Kurishenko raised his fists and said in a firm voice.
The referee on the field nodded, and the experienced one could hear it from Kulishenko's voice, Kurishenko's consciousness was clear, but his body was too tired, but he could continue to play.
On the field, the referee signals the game to continue.
Latiz took a step and strode towards Kurishenko, ready to attack.
Although Kurishenko stood up, but the sequelae of excessive offensive consumption just now are still there, his movement and strength have decreased a lot now, it would be good to be able to do a good job of defense, he didn't hold it up, and after hitting two straight punches to slightly block Latiz, he began to hold his head to defend.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Latiz's punches may not be very powerful, but they are fast, and when they throw their punches, they pull their bodies apart, their punches are long, and their quick punches are dazzling.
Several punches in a row landed on Kulishenko's body, and Kurishenko clenched his fists and defended hard.
The side that threw the punch quickly swapped with the side that held the head to defend, and the difference in skill and speed between the two was also clearly revealed.
Wang Hao found that it was also a head-hugging defense, and Kurishenko really had to hold his head to defend, with two fists standing high, carrying Latiz's blows, and every punch of Latiz could hit Kurishenko's body or boxing fight.
And just now Latiz was completely different when he defended, just now Latiz dodged most of Kurishenko's punches by shaking his body flexibly.
And the way the two hit is also very different, Kulishenko hit Latiz, basically a straight punch with the body standing up straight, although the power may be greater, but the punch changes too little, and it is easier to be dodged.
On the other hand, Latiz, when punching, the punch path is changeable, one will hit, one will hit, one will jab, one will be back, and one moment straighten the body to punch straight, there are many changes, making it difficult to grasp the law.
And although Latiz's punches are fast, they are not like Kurishenko, who punches in a row, his punch speed changes, and there is a slight stagnation to avoid excessive physical exertion in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Kurishenko's body was tough enough, he clenched his fists and did not relax, firmly protected his head, carried Latiz's blows, and retreated with difficulty, leaning against the side of the rope for a while.
At this time, the sound of slapping sounded ten seconds before the end of the round.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
Seeing this, Latiz knew that it would be difficult to take down Kurishenko with a knockout in this round, so instead of punching Kurishenko in the head, he hit Kurishenko in both ribs, and through body blows, he scored a few more points before the end of the round.
Bite!
The second round of the two-man contest was over.
Latiz quickly withdrew his hand and walked towards the corner of his fist, while Kurishenko took a big breath and walked slowly towards the corner of his fist.
The end of the second round meant that Kulishchenko had a minute of rest, which was crucial for him who was already almost exhausted, and without that minute of rest, he could be knocked down by Latiz again.
Many of the spectators were emotionally mobilized and stood up to see if Latiz could knock out Kurishenko again, but seeing that Kurishenko held on, the crowd that heard the bell for the end of the round knew that the fight was bound to reach the third round, so they sat down again.
Wang Hao was under the ring, waiting for the third round of the match between Latiz and Kulishenko to begin, and Wang Hao had already seen that there was no accident that the two of them would probably have to fight for three rounds.
Because it was difficult for both men to take down each other, even if they knocked each other down, they couldn't take each other down, so it was basically difficult for the two to win the fight in the form of a knockout in just three minutes remaining.
Moreover, the two men were knocked out by each other, and they must have been very careful in the third round.
Latiz was knocked out by Kurishenko purely out of carelessness, and was caught by Kurishenko in his habit of moving, and he will certainly play more varied and cautious in the third round.
Needless to say, Wang Hao felt that Kulishenko consumed too much in the second round, and it was difficult to say how much he would recover after a minute's rest, and he might not be too active in the third round.
Of course, now in terms of the points of the two, Kurishenko is naturally a lot behind Latiz.
In the first round, Latiz was ahead in points, and after Kurishenko knocked out Latiz in the second round, if he hadn't been knocked down by Latiz again, he might have been able to win the points advantage in the second round, but because Kurishenko was also knocked down by Latiz once, in terms of points in the second round, Kulishenko was actually behind.
If Kurishenko wants to win the match, according to the convention, he will launch a fierce attack in the third round, but in Wang Hao's opinion, Kurishenko, who has consumed too much physical strength and has learned the lessons of the second round, should not take any more risks, otherwise he is likely to be knocked down again by Latiz due to excessive consumption.
Bite! Bell bell bell!
The third leg of Latiz and Kurishenko begins, and this is the final leg of today's quarter-finals.
The crowd watched intently in the ring, hoping for a better last-round fight.
Since Kulishenko is a native of Ukraine, there were also many people at the scene who refueled Kurishenko.
"Come on Kurishenko! Kulishenko knocked out Latiz! A group of young Ukrainian fans shouted.
At the start of the third round, Latiz threw the first punches to test Kurishenko's recovery, and he landed two straight punches in quick succession to Kulishenko's head.
Kulishenko dodged Latiz's straight left hand with a backslide while blocking Latiz's straight right hand with his left gloves before immediately hitting a right hook counter.
Latiz raised his left fist glove and blocked his left cheek to block Kulishenko's right hook.
Latiz felt the power of Kurishenko, and he found that Kurishenko had recovered a lot after this round of rest, and his punches were powerful and his reflexes were not slow.
Latiz knows that Kurishenko has recovered, and it is almost impossible to swallow Kurishenko in one go.
Latiz again quickly landed a small right hook that landed in the head of Kulishenko, only to be hit by a straight right hand that Kurishenko immediately countered.
Latiz, who didn't dare to be careless, quickly stepped back and opened up the distance, and Kulishenko followed up with a straight left hand that hit Latiz in front of him.
The two entered the low-frequency attack again in the medium and long distance.
Latiz knows that Kurishenko has recovered most of the time, and if Kurishenko does not make a mistake, it is unlikely that Latiz wants to knock out Kurishenko again, or even win by knockout.
And Kulishenko doesn't seem to be pushing for victory anymore, and while he still plays aggressively, he doesn't punch as often as he did in the first round.
For most of the third round, the two were grinding points against each other, and there were no waves in the match, which made the audience a little disappointed.
Bite!
As the bell rang for the end of the final round, the third round between Latiz and Kurishenko was over.
Of the three rounds of the two's match, only the second round was more exciting, with the two men knocking each other down, but the remaining two rounds, especially the third, were too bland.
"Four fights, ten rounds, and the best one is only the one in which Wang Hao knocked out the Puerto Rican fighter! There is also the second leg of Latiz and Kurishenko, and the rest of the matches are too bland! "There were viewers complaining.
"Hmm!" There were also other spectators at the scene who echoed, "The technical level of the fighters is very high, but they are too cautious, which leads to poor ornamentation!" Or Wang Hao's game is shocking enough! ”
"Yes!" Other viewers also said, "I also think Wang Hao's game is shocking enough, it's just too enjoyable, and the second round between Latiz and Kurishenko is also exciting enough, but in the end, it's still anticlimactic!" ”
Amid the crowd's chatter, the referee announced the result of the final match, and in the end, Cuban junior champion "Havana ruffian" Latiz defeated the Soviet Union's national junior runner-up Kurishenko by points.
The senior fighters and coaches on the scene, including Wang Hao, felt that the result of this match was expected, and Latiz, with better physical flexibility and faster speed, did score more points than Kurishenko.
In this way, the semi-finals of this year's World Youth Boxing Championship were born, and the Soviet national junior champions Kamenlev and Wang Hao, the Cuban national junior champion Latiz, and another Cuban boxer entered the semi-finals.
It is not surprising that there are two Cuban fighters in the semi-finals, as this is also common in amateur boxing in the world, but Wang Hao's Asian boxing identity is very eye-catching and interesting.
In the semifinals, Kamenlev will face a Cuban fighter to determine the first spot in the final, while Wang Hao will face "Havana ruffian" Latiz for the second place in the final.
Both of these matches were very interesting, but the crowd was more interested in the match between Wang Hao and Latiz instead of Kamenlev's match.
This is naturally because Wang Hao's performance today is wonderful enough, coupled with the yellow-skinned Asian boxer's identity, which has aroused great interest from the audience, and Wang Hao's next opponent Latiz is very strong, and he is the same existence as Kamenlev.
Therefore, Wang Hao, an Asian boxer with an eye-catching performance, and the match between the experienced boxing powerhouse youth champion aroused great interest from the audience.
After the quarterfinals, until the semifinals began, there was a day of rest in between, during which the top four fighters who participated in the competition were not idle, busy doing pre-match adaptation training.
Especially the Cuban boxer Latiz, although Latiz still has a lot of confidence that he can beat the young Wang Hao, but because Wang Hao was too eye-catching in the previous game, Latiz did not dare to be careless, and he also felt a lot of pressure.
So the day before the game, Latiz found two Asian boxers with similar physical conditions to Wang Hao and fought for a few rounds, but he still couldn't find the feeling, because the strength of these two fighters, although they are very good among Asian boxers, is obviously inferior to Wang Hao.
