Chapter 331: Face to Face After the Game (1)
On the night of boxing in Las Vegas, the match between Tyson and Holyfield, which attracted the attention of the world, and the penultimate mat match, Wang Hao and Lermontov's WBO super lightweight continental boxing championship, won the match in the form of Wang Hao knocking out Lermontov.
In this way, Wang Hao also obtained the WBO European Intercontinental Boxing Champion Silver Belt in Lermontov's hand, and Wang Hao became the owner of the European Intercontinental Boxing Champion Silver Belt of the World Boxing Organization WBO and the World Boxing Association WBA.
Although the color of the silver belt is naturally much lower than that of the world boxing champion gold belt, today is only Wang Hao's fourth professional match, and being able to win the continental boxing title of two organizations in the fourth professional match is already a big achievement.
At the same time, the WBO European Intercontinental Boxing Champion Silver Belt and the victory in this match also allowed Wang Hao to successfully promote to the world third of the World Boxing Organization WBO.
Because the current WBO super lightweight champion Moseley is about to be promoted to welterweight and will give up all the titles in the super lightweight division, so after this match, it won't be long before Wang Hao will automatically be promoted to the second place in the WBO super lightweight world rankings.
When Mosley is officially upgraded and the WBO ultra-lightweight belt is vacated, Wang Hao will compete for the WBO ultra-lightweight belt with the current second-ranked veteran and former Puerto Rican famous boxing champion Camacho.
Because in the next match, Wang Hao has confirmed that he will independently challenge the WBA boxing belt in the hands of the legendary Mexican boxing champion Chavez, so that Wang Hao has the qualification to challenge the title of the two major boxing organizations of WBO and WBA, and will play these two boxing championships soon.
Therefore, today's victory against Lermontov is very important for Wang Hao, and Wang Hao's match is also the mat match of the match between Tyson and Holyfield that attracted the attention of fans around the world, and it is also Wang Hao's American debut.
Lermontov, who knocked out 27 professional fights in three rounds and won 25 fights twice, and directly knocked out Lermontov, this performance can be said to be very exciting, although Wang Hao's American professional boxing debut can not be said to be very perfect, but it definitely played a very wonderful match, which left a deep impression on American fans and world fans, and is very beneficial to Wang Hao's future development.
At the moment when the referee announced the end of the game, Wang Hao also raised his hands to pay tribute to the audience.
Most of the audience stood up and gave Wang Hao's wonderful performance a round of applause.
The first two mat games tonight were not very exciting, but Wang Hao's game made the audience enjoy an extraordinary excitement.
For most viewers, it was also the first time to see Asian boxers fighting such a high-level wonderful competition, and Wang Hao's outstanding performance made them feel the extraordinary style of Asia's top fighters.
"Awesome!" An American spectator wearing a baseball cap applauded Wang Hao and praised, "It's the first time I've watched an Asian boxer fight, and it's a wonderful fight, but I didn't expect China to have such a good fighter." ”
"Wang Hao's game is so good, he has knocked out all four fights so far, and he is a pan-middleweight killer of the younger generation!" An American audience member from Washington also applauded Wang Hao and said, "The pan-middleweight division in professional boxing is getting more and more exciting, with Moseley, de la Hoya, Trinidad coming out of nowhere, and now there are fighters like Vargas, Costazu and Wang Hao, each of which is undefeated, and almost all of them are fighters who win by knocking out their opponents 100%. I'm looking forward to the future fights between these pan-middleweight masters! “
A black American viewer from California excitedly said: "I remember Wang Hao, his fight made my blood boil, I want to go back and look at his previous fight video, take a good look!" ”
When the audience applauded or praised Wang Hao, Spinks, the commentator at the scene, also praised: "Wonderful! Wang Hao's last knockout finish Lermontov was so exciting, almost in one go. The knockdown just made my heart flutter, and I think most of the audience must have felt the same way as me. ”
"After Wang Hao's fight, the next bout will be Mexico's legendary Chavez, which is also an ultra-lightweight bout, and it's a World Boxing Council WBC super lightweight title bout, Chavez will fight undefeated American rookie Clares for this WBC belt."
Spinks continued.
"Moreover, I can tell the audience that after today's match, Wang Hao's next opponent will be the Mexican legend Chavez, and Wang Hao has confirmed that his next match will challenge the World Boxing Association WBA super lightweight belt in Chavez's hands!"
"How about it, dear viewers at the scene, does this news make everyone excited and happy enough, and you can't wait to buy tickets to watch the game?" Spincks also took this opportunity to promote the match between Wang Hao and Chavisz, which had been confirmed.
"What? Wang Hao is going to fight Chavisz in the next fight, and he is also challenging the WBA boxing champion belt! I have to watch this game, and I have to watch it live! ”
"I'm going to see it too!"
"After watching tonight's game, I'll go buy tickets!"
Hearing the news that Wang Hao brought by Spinks was going to challenge the WBA boxing title in the hands of Chavisz, many viewers at the scene were also very excited, and immediately said that they wanted to buy tickets to watch the game.
Obviously, Wang Hao has accumulated some fans on the scene with his wonderful performance tonight, and Wang Hao's influence is expanding in the United States.
All eyes returned to the ring.
At the moment of Wang Hao's victory, Wang Hao's coaching team also rushed into the boxing arena excitedly.
William, Paul and Sanchez all hugged Wang Hao one by one, and then stood behind Wang Hao to applaud Wang Hao, enjoying the joy of victory together.
William is very happy, Lermontov's strength is very strong, in fact, before the game, William even planned that Wang Hao would play ten rounds of the game, but he didn't expect Wang Hao to solve Lermontov in three rounds, which made William's publicity effect on Wang Hao can be said to be twice the result with half the effort, William is very happy.
Paul was also so happy that he seemed to have seen the scene where Wang Hao won the super lightweight world boxing championship belt.
Paul has coached many professional boxers, Wang Hao can be said to be the youngest and strongest among them, and Wang Hao is also the most self-disciplined among these boxers, with these, Paul knows that Wang Hao's future is limitless.
Although Sanchez has just become Wang Hao's coach, after watching Wang Hao's game on the spot, Sanchez is also very touched, Sanchez knows that he and Wang Hao together will create a lot of miracles, and in time, they are likely to dominate the pan-middleweight division, and will dominate for a long time.
Soon, the referee officially announced the result of the match, and put Lermontov's intercontinental boxing champion silver belt on Wang Hao's shoulder.
The two intercontinental boxing champion silver belts of WBO and WBA were placed on Wang Hao's left and right shoulders respectively, and Wang Hao once again raised his hands to greet the audience, and the scene once again resounded with sustained and fierce applause.
The bout between Wang Hao and Lermontov was over, and everyone stepped out of the ring to make room for the next WBC super lightweight title bout.
The bout is the first mat of tonight's matchup between Tyson and Holyfield, featuring American super lightweight rookie Clares taking on legendary Mexican boxing champion Chávez.
De La Hoya is the former WBC super lightweight champion, who defeated Chavez more than a year ago and re-defeated Chavez in a rematch between the two to maintain the WBC super lightweight title.
However, De la Hoya recently dropped the WBC super-lightweight belt and upgraded to welterweight, leaving the WBC super-lightweight belt vacant.
According to the rules, it will be contested by Chavez, who is currently ranked second in the WBC super lightweight division, and Clares, who is ranked third in the American super-rookie.
Chavez was a long-time WBC super-lightweight champion before being defeated by De la Hoya, and Chavez himself has a soft spot for the WBC's super-lightweight title.
Therefore, when Chavez learned that de la Hoya had upgraded and given up the WBC super lightweight belt, he immediately decided to fight for the belt and postponed his fight with Wang Hao.
In the stadium of the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, the lights dimmed again, the scene fell into darkness, and the audience fell silent, although everyone stopped making a sound, but their hearts were very excited, waiting for the next important game to begin.
Chavez is a veteran of the ultra-lightweight division and a WBA champion, while Clares is a young fighter who has not won a title before, so although neither is the defending champion in this match, the order of appearance of the two is still arranged for Clares to appear first.
The lights of the scene changed and finally hit the boxer's entrance, where a boxer, draped in an American flag and wearing Stars and Stripes shorts, walked into the boxer's entrance hall with great excitement, followed by several members of the coaching staff who were also excited.
This fighter is the American native fighter, WBC super lightweight rookie Clares.
Spinks, the commentator at the scene, also introduced Clares' record at this time, "Clares, now 23 years old, has 21 career fights, 20 wins, 1 draw, and 18 of them are won by knockouts. Now the WBC super-lightweight ranking is number three. Today will be Clares' first professional title challenge. ”
With the entrance of Clares, many audiences, especially the American audience, began to get excited, and many people stood up and applauded Clares.
"He turned out to be an undefeated fighter! And a knockout rate of nearly 90 percent! Very good! ”
"He has the potential to be a young king, and I hope he will do well tonight and win this belt!"
Fans are also full of praise and anticipation for Clares.
Immediately afterwards, the Mexican legend Chavez also appeared, and the scene sounded with a bright rhythm of Mexican folk music.
Chavez appeared in gray and white textured shorts and a straw hat with a Mexican ethnicity.
The voice of the live commentator Spinks also sounded at the right time.
"Mexican boxing legend, Chavez, has 87 fights in his career so far, with 83 victories, 69 knockout wins, three losses and one draw. Chavez, the current WBA super-lightweight champion and the No. 2 ranked No. 2 in the WBC division, is competing for the WBC super-lightweight belt today, and if successful, he will once again combine the WBA and WBC gold. ”
Although Las Vegas is the home of American fighter Clares, Mexican legend Chavez also has many fans in the United States, and the scene also burst into applause as soon as he appeared.
A professional fighter usually fights thirty or forty fights is a lot, but Chavez has fought more than 80 fights, and the vast majority of them have been victorious, with a knockout rate of 80 percent.
From the perspective of boxing as a sport, it can be said that Chavez is simply a superman, and his physical fitness is far beyond that of the average boxer, so he can fight so many fights and win most of them.
Wang Hao was watching Chavez enter the arena under the ring, and Wang Hao also admired his opponent in his next fight.
Chavez has played almost 90 matches in his career, losing just three, two of which were in the last two years to a talent like de la Hoya in his prime and a once-in-a-century in decades.
Although Chavez is now in his thirties, he is an older fighter, but there are not many fighters who can resist his edge on the ultra-lightweight stage.
Wang Hao doesn't know much about Chavez's opponent today, American boxer Clares, and I don't know if he will be able to defeat Chavez, Wang Hao will wait and see.
After a few minutes of pre-match action, the match between Chávez and Clares began immediately.
At the beginning of the match, the young and vigorous American fighter Clares played very actively, frequently launching fierce attacks on Chavez, which once made Chavez a little passive.
But with experience and sophistication, Chavez withstood Clares' onslaught and found a loophole in Clarez's technique, knocking him out with a backhand punch in the second half of the first round.
The knockdown didn't hit Clares hard, but it did have a big impact on Clares' psyche, and in the rest of the fight, Clares didn't let go of the fight like he did in the first round.
It wasn't until the seventh round of the match that the two men were evenly matched in the first six rounds, and the victorious Clares launched another assault on Chavez in the seventh round, but Chavez defended firmly and conserved his strength.
After another eight rounds, and by the ninth round, Clares, who had been overexerting his energy in the front, had some problems, was very tired, and some couldn't punch, Chavez seized the opportunity and knocked Clares down twice to end the match.
Not every young brave man has the strength of de la Hoya, and Clares was hit by Waterloo and was unable to climb the peak of Chavez.
