Chapter 335: Boxing Magazine's Best Rookie Selection and Pre-Fight Press Conference

Good professional boxers all have their own nicknames, such as De La Hoya's nickname is "Golden Boy", Moseley's nickname is "Sugar Cube", Pacquiao's nickname is "Asian Destroyer", Mayweather's early nickname is "Pretty Boy", and later in his career, he is older, earns too much, and likes to show off his wealth, and the nickname becomes "money".

When he entered the professional boxing world, Wang Hao was thinking about his nickname, because if the fighter and the agency can't afford it, the fans will help.

And Wang Hao naturally wanted to give himself this nickname, just some time ago, Wang Hao had already thought of a more satisfactory nickname, but he hadn't had time to communicate with William and others, just taking advantage of William's question today, he decided on this matter.

"Dragon Fist"!

The biggest totemic belief of the Chinese is the dragon, also known as the descendant of the dragon, "Dragon Fist" is a very Chinese name, in which the word "fist" can also reflect the characteristics of Wang Hao as a boxer.

"Dragon Fist", which has both Chinese characteristics and a sense of strength, is Wang Hao's favorite and most suitable name.

Of course, the creativity in this also comes from Wang Hao's previous life, the king singer Jay Chou who liked him very much.

At this time, in the mid-to-late nineties, Jay Chou had not yet debuted, so naturally there was no song "Dragon Fist", but the lyrics of this song had already been imprinted in Wang Hao's heart.

"With Dunhuang as the center of the northeast and east, the coastline of this nation is like a bow, the Great Wall is like a dream to be shot for 5,000 years, I use my arms to pull the weight of the whole land, what to write in the wind of the Mongolian Plateau in the south, whether the Chinese characters are understood or not, the same complexion and face, across the Yellow River east to the top of Mount Tai, I go west, lead the north wind, and become a bronze!"

"I dismantled the heavens and the earth and hollowed out the water of the Yangtze River, and in the transformation of the ancient riverbed, I opened the sky with my right fist and turned into a dragon!"

The lyrics of this song have a pure Chinese style, and there is a strong sense of history and strong appeal, Wang Hao is also enthusiastic every time he thinks about it, and sometimes he even has tears in his eyes.

The coastline of this nation is like a bow!

The Great Wall is like a dream waiting to be shot for 5,000 years!

What is written in the southward wind of the Mongolian plateau, whether you understand the Chinese characters or not, the same skin color and face!

These lyrics enliven the heaviness of China's land and nation, as well as the dreams that are ready to go.

And "my right fist opened the sky and turned into a dragon", which is imposing enough and has a sense of majesty, which makes people feel enthusiastic.

Wang Hao liked this song and these lyrics very much, so he finally decided on "Dragon Fist" as his nickname.

Although Wang Hao could not open the sky with his right fist as written in the lyrics, Wang Hao vowed to use these two fists to create a world in the professional boxing arena for the yellow race of Chinese and even the entire Asia, and create boxing glory for the Chinese.

"Dragon Fist!"

William and Paul listened to Wang Hao's nickname, and although they could not fully understand all the meanings of Wang Hao's nickname as foreigners, they still felt the strong sense of national identity and power in Wang Hao's name.

After all, although the dragon in the hearts of Europeans is different from the dragon in the hearts of Chinese, they are both very powerful and powerful animals.

"I think it's pretty good too!" William smiled and said, "Then use this, I'm afraid you haven't thought about this yet, so I've also helped you think of a few, such as "Asian Battleship", "Red Bomber", etc., I have a general understanding of Chinese culture, and the nickname I took should be far less profound than your own." It's decided, it's called 'Dragon Fist'! “

After chatting about the nickname, William continued: "There is one more good news! “

Wang Hao and Paul are both focused on William, just now William has brought several news, all of which are good news, such as the matter of the WBO super lightweight championship match with Camacho, and the pre-match press conference of the Chavez match, hearing William say that there is other good news, Wang Hao and Paul are also very looking forward to it.

"It's almost the end of the year! Boxing Magazine is about to start judging the awards of this year's boxing world! William said.

"There are several major categories in the annual awards, such as Fighter of the Year, Tournament of the Year, and Emerging Fighter of the Year!"

William continued, "In our boxing club, only Wang Hao and Klitschko have the opportunity to compete for these awards. Especially the best new boxer of the year, if he can win the match with Chavez, Wang Hao is very hopeful! ”

Boxing Magazine! Best New Fighter of the Year!

Wang Hao knew a lot about boxing magazines in his last life, which is known as the bible of boxing, and can be said to be the most well-known and authoritative publication in the boxing world, as well as the institution that publishes the list, which has a history of 60 years.

The four major boxing organizations, the World Boxing Organization (WBO), the World Boxing Association (WBA), the World Boxing Council (WBC), and the International Boxing Federation (IBF), will publish their own boxing rankings and award the boxing champion belt.

However, the four major boxing organizations are independent of each other, and while fighters may be registered with more than one boxing organization and may hold the belt of multiple organizations, the four major boxing organizations only care about the affairs of their own organization and do not care about the affairs of other boxing organizations.

The ranking and selection of cross-boxing organizations is done by boxing magazines, and it is precisely because of doing things that other organizations cannot do, and the evaluation is extremely professional, that boxing magazines have become the most prestigious authority in the boxing world.

The most frequently published and most watched list by boxing magazines is the P4P Fighter Rankings, which is a ranking that includes all professional fighters, across the four major boxing organizations and across all divisions.

Regardless of weight and boxing organization, the boxers are evaluated in this list based on their professional records and comprehensive strength, and the top ten fighters in the P4P ranking are known as the strongest boxers in the professional boxing world, and being shortlisted in the top ten is a great honor for the boxers.

Golovkin, Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Vasily Lomachenko were all once the kings of boxing magazines P4P.

Wang Hao hopes that one day he can also be ranked in the P4P list of boxing magazines, and even occupy the position of the king of P4P, but this is a premature goal, and for Wang Hao, the most important thing now is to play every fight and get the super lightweight WBA and WBO belts.

In addition to the P4P rankings, Boxing Magazine also awards the best boxing fight, Fighter of the Year, Coach of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, and awards the Boxing Magazine Champion Belt.

Golovkin, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Lomachenko, De La Hoya are the likes of these fighters and their fights, and have even appeared on boxing magazines' annual list many times.

Wang Hao's next match will be against Mexican legend Chavez, who was once the best fighter in boxing magazine in '90, Riddick Bauer was named the best fighter of the year because of his victory over Holyfield in a fight, and De La Hoya was named the best fighter by boxing magazine two years ago.

Wang Hao knows that he has only debuted for a year, and even after defeating Chavez, it is impossible to participate in the competition for the best fighter of the year and the best fight of the year, after all, there has just happened a fight between Holyfield and Tyson, this game is too significant, and the influence is also one of the few in the history of professional boxing, in Wang Hao's memory, the best fighter and the best fight of the year come from this game.

Wang Hao can only compete for the best newcomer of the year!

Whether or not he can win Chavez beautifully will be the key to whether Wang Hao can win the Rookie of the Year.

"It's not enough to win, you need to win beautifully!" Wang Hao said, "In the competition for the best rookie boxer this year, which other fighters participated? “

William said: "There are a few of the most competitive fighters right now, one is American welterweight rising star Fernand Vargas, middleweight fighter David Rader, lightweight fighter Yudah, Mexican featherweight fighters Morales and Barrera, and then our boxing club Vladimir Klitschko and you!" “

Hearing these names that will shake the professional boxing world in the future professional boxing world, Wang Hao knows that this year's best newcomer of the year is difficult to win, and he can only beat everyone and win the best newcomer of the year in boxing magazine if he performs extremely well in the match with Chavez.

Among these competitors, the most competitive is undoubtedly Fernand Vargas, one of the future middleweight four kings, nicknamed "Mighty", although he later became the lowest of the four kings, but when Fernande Vargas first debuted in professional boxing, he fought almost once a month, and most of his opponents were eliminated by Fernand Vargas in the first round.

Yodach, Morales and Barella are also formidable competitors, with Yodach being a Mayweather-like American mid-sized fighter with the same flexibility and speed as Mayweather, who went on to become a three-division world champion and almost unification in the ultra-lightweight division.

And Morales and Barrera, not to mention, are future Mexican trio fighters, second only to Mayweather and Pacquiao in the future professional boxing division.

With so many legendary fighters competing for the best newcomer of the year, it is not easy for Wang Hao to break through.

"It's fiercely competitive!" Paul also laughed when he heard the names of these fighters.

Brought a few pieces of information to Wang Hao, William left, and Wang Hao and Paul naturally devoted themselves more to training, and the match with Chavisz two months later was a game that could only be won and not lost in all aspects for Wang Hao.

Chavez will be Wang Hao's first touchstone after entering the professional boxing world, even if Wang Hao was once an Olympic and World Championships boxing champion, these achievements can make Wang Hao stand higher than other fighters after entering the professional boxing world, but if he can't defeat the older generation of kings, Wang Hao can only become an ordinary professional boxing champion at most, and it is difficult to become a dominant, world-class professional boxing king.

The match with Chavez is of great significance to Wang Hao.

Time flies quickly, and there are only two weeks left before the game with Chavis, during which Wang Hao has devoted himself to training, and has conducted a lot of preparatory training for Chavis's technical characteristics, and has improved quickly.

Two weeks before the game, Wang Hao and Paul first came to the United States, first staying at Sanchez's Big Bear Mountain, and then going to New York to attend the press conference against Chavez.

Although the match between Wang Hao and Chavez was held in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, in order to attract more American audiences, the pre-match press conference was held in a studio hall of the Hilton Hotel in New York.

The match between Wang Hao and Chavez received a lot of attention, and the press conference was a small studio full of 50 or 60 reporters and photographers, as well as more than 200 fans who grabbed tickets to the press conference.

The journalists and photographers who represent the media come from many countries and will broadcast the match between Wang Hao and Chavez around the world through television and online broadcasts.

Representatives of both sides who attended the press conference also came to the scene early, WBA defending boxing champion Mexican legend Chavez and his coach and agent came to the scene to sit on the press table, while Wang Hao also came Wang Hao, Paul, Sanchez and William, sat at the other end of the press table and faced reporters with the Chavez team.

After all, this is the scene of a boxing match, and the atmosphere at the press conference is full of tension and the smell of gunpowder.

For Wang Hao, although it is the first time to participate in this kind of press conference, he has seen a lot before, and he is also very accustomed to this atmosphere, and he is also very clear about what he should do.

A female reporter from the New York Times stood up and asked, "I'm a reporter from the New York Times, and I want to ask Mr. Chavez, the reigning WBA boxing champion, two questions!" “

"The first question is, the match is in Mexico City, why is the press conference in New York? The second question is, your opponent is a double Olympic and World Championship champion, and you are very strong, how sure are you about this match? “

Chavez wore a blue suit today, dressed up very energetically, he listened carefully to the reporter's questions, and then replied: "First of all, answer the first question, where the press conference is held is decided by the agent, I am just a boxer, but I think the press conference is held in the United States, which is conducive to letting American fans know more about this fight, which is a good thing for American fans!" “

"For the second question, I want to say that professional boxing and amateur boxing are not the same thing, many boxers fight well in amateur boxing, but after entering professional boxing, it will soon be bad, I have not won the Olympic championship, but this did not prevent me from becoming a professional boxing champion, for the match with Wang Hao, I want to tell you, I will not let it play for 12 rounds in this match!"

After less than twelve rounds, Chavez's subtext is clear, which is to focus on knocking Wang Hao out to win, not to seek a points victory.

After asking Chavez, the New York Times reporter turned his attention to Wang Hao and asked, "We heard that Mr. Chavez's goal for this game is very clear!" So I would like to ask Mr. Wang Hao what are his expectations for this game? “

After listening to the question, Wang Hao said into the microphone on the stage: "I just heard Chavez's words, but I want to say that Chavez is old, I walked into Mexico City on Independence Day, and I will not fight a point match with Chavez, my goal is to finish Chavez in seven rounds." “
