Chapter 208: The Final Four Begins

During the rest of the day before the start of the semi-finals, Wang Hao was naturally engrossed in preparing for the match with Latiz.

Latiz is one of the strongest fighters in this World Junior Boxing Championship, and his overall strength is almost equal to that of Kamenlev, so this match with Latiz is definitely a tough battle for Wang Hao.

Latiz will be the strongest fighter Wang Hao has met so far, and it will also be Wang Hao's first time facing a junior champion from a boxing powerhouse.

There is a good chance that a Cuban junior fighter like Latiz will win a medal in the future on the highest stage of amateur boxing, such as the World Boxing Championships or the Olympic Games.

In this short day, Wang Hao didn't spend any more time looking for black boxers similar to Latiz to fight.

Because on the one hand, Wang Hao has already met two excellent black boxers in the previous game, one of which is still a teammate of Latitz, so Wang Hao has no experience of fighting black boxers in Central and South America at all, on the other hand, there is only one day left, and too much use in actual combat can not solve any problems.

Wang Hao focused his main energy on preparing for the game strategy with Latiz.

As Cuba's national junior champion and nicknamed "Havana Ruffian", Latiz is very good, and this is fully reflected in the match between Latiz and Kurishenko.

Compared with Kulishenko, Latiz has some advantages in speed and technique, you must know that Kurishenko is the youth runner-up in the whole Soviet Union, second only to Kamenlev in strength.

Moreover, in the match with Kurishenko, Latiz also showed rich game experience and on-the-spot adaptability, which was vividly reflected in Latiz's unhurried and unhurried after being knocked out by Kurishenko, and knocked out Kurishenko again.

Not every fighter can seize the opportunity, turn the corner, and overtake in that kind of adversity.

Wang Hao also found the biggest technical characteristics of Latiz in the game of Latiz, that is, he is fast, and then has a strong ability to grasp the opportunity, and he has a lot of experience in the game.

Through these technical characteristics of Latitz, Wang Hao feels that it should be feasible for him to fight against Latitz, because his strength and confrontation are relatively strong.

However, Wang Hao analyzed that Latiz's speed was a great threat to him, and he had to find a way to resolve it.

Wang Hao thought about the ways in his arsenal that could deal with the characteristics of Latiz.

Wang Hao has mastered the technique of wrapping steps to a certain extent, and can deal with most of the fighters, and he should be able to deal with Latiz, but Latiz is fast and his body flexibility is also good, Wang Hao is not very mature in wrapping steps, and when dealing with Latiz, it is not the best strategic choice for Wang Hao at present.

After thinking about it, Wang Hao decided to use another technique in his arsenal, which is the left frame play.

Most of the boxers in the boxing world are right-hand fighters, that is, the right hand is behind, as a backhand fist, and the left foot and left hand are in front, playing jab, but there are also a small number of fighters who take the completely opposite left-hand fight, with the right hand and right foot in front, using the right hand to fight the jab, and the left hand in the back, as a backhand to attack the opponent.

Because the left-hand fighter has the exact opposite style of play to most fighters, when the traditional right-hand fighter meets the left-hand fighter, it is actually very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Because right-frame fighters basically fight the same right-frame boxer in training or in competition, they are used to the right-frame, but when the opponent is replaced by a left-hand fighter who fights in the same direction as them and the backhand in the same direction, the traditional right-frame fighter is more difficult to adapt.

The pace of their attacks will be slower, their speed will be reduced, and their punches will be much less accurate than before.

After thinking about it, Wang Hao decided to use a left-hand style combined with heavy jab techniques to deal with Latiz according to the development of the match.

Heavy jabs can wear down Latiz, and left-hand strikes can slow down Latiz's strengths.

Wang's goal isn't just to win the fight, Wang hopes to knock out Latiz for a win.

In the rest of the time, Wang Hao focused on the left frame play, especially the heavy jab technique under the left frame fight, and did pre-match adaptation training.

The day passed quickly, and it was time for the semi-finals of the World Junior Boxing Championships, and today's competition venue was still held in the same venue as the quarterfinals.

It is the largest venue of the National Boxing Sports Center of Ukraine, which can accommodate thousands of spectators.

Today's fighters, Wang Hao, Kamenlev, and two Cuban fighters, including Latiz, came to the scene very early accompanied by their respective coaching teams, and all four of them successfully passed the pre-match weigh-in.

The order of the match is that the fight between Kamenlev and the Cuban fighter will be played first, while the match between Wang Hao and Latiz will be the second fight of the day.

The audience watching the game on site was also much larger than the audience of the quarterfinals the day before yesterday, and almost the entire venue was filled.

Most of them are naturally Soviets, many of them came to see the Soviet Youth National Champion Kamenlev's match, and there were many spectators, because they watched Wang Hao's wonderful performance in the quarterfinals, and they were very interested in Wang Hao, a young fighter from Asia, who was most concerned about the match between Wang Hao and Latiz today.

The first to start was the fight between Kamenlev and the Cuban fighter.

As the referee signaled to the referee, Kamenlev and the Cuban fighters, who had already finished their preparations, stepped into the ring.

After the referee briefly repeated the precautions of the fight, as the bell rang in the Circle, the match between Kamenlev and the Cuban fighter officially began.

Kamenlev wore white shorts and a vest today, while the Cuban fighter wore black shorts and a tank top.

Kamenlev was in great form today, with a rhythmic attack and a lot of power, and he started the first round with a sustained attack on the Cuban fighter after a brief tentative run.

The Cuban fighter is also very good, but although he is skilled, he is still much worse than Latiz, slower than Latiz in terms of speed, and his ability to seize opportunities is also worse than Latiz.

Kamenlev's fighting ability and strength are obviously much stronger than the Cuban boxer, but it is not the deadliest, the most lethal thing is that the Cuban boxer is not faster than Kamenlev.

The lack of confrontation and the lack of speed and technical superiority quickly put the Cuban fighter on the back foot.

In the first round, the Cuban took a few heavy blows from Kamenlev, but no one fell to the canvas.

Judging from the points of the two, Kamenlev, who was more active in attacking, also had the advantage of points in the first round.

After a one-minute break, the two men moved on to the second round.

In this round, Kamenlev continued to play at the same pace as in the first round, while the Cuban fighter stepped up his movement and played more guerrilla to avoid getting into a head-to-head confrontation with Kamenlev.

However, due to his lack of speed, the Cuban fighter's occasional effective punches on the go were immediately countered by Kamenlev with heavy blows.

And Kamenlev's counterpunches were very effective, often hitting the Cuban fighter with heavy punches.

The Cuban fighter became increasingly passive, and finally stumbled with a heavy hook from Kamenlev towards the end of the second round, narrowly missing Kamenlev.

Thankfully, the Cuban fighter survived the round with a tenacious will, and the two entered the third round.

In terms of points in the second round, it was naturally Kamenlev who was ahead, and it was further expanded on the basis of the first round, and Kamenlev's point lead was already very obvious.

As soon as the third round began, Kamenlev unleashed a faster-paced attack on the Cuban fighter, who was like a high-moving, relentless piledriver, throwing heavy punches at the Cuban boxer.

In the end, the Cuban fighter couldn't hold it anymore because he took too many punches, and with a minute left in the third round, he was knocked out once by a backhand punch from Kamenlev.

But the Cuban fighter stood up as the referee counted the seconds, and the fight continued.

The Cuban fighter had a very lewd fight for the remainder of the round, and he had already given up on winning the bout, only hoping not to be knocked down again by Kamenlev.

So the Cuban fighter moved heavily in the ring, dodging Kamenlev's punches, and the scene once looked like a Cuban boxer running in the ring.

This caused many spectators to boo, and many Soviet spectators shouted: "Kamenlev, knock down that coward on the other side!" ”

"It's a shame that Cuban boxers have turned boxing matches into races!"

Although many spectators were cursing at the Cuban fighter, the Cuban fighter continued his escape strategy until the end of the match, during which time Kamenlev approached the Cuban fighter to attack, and the Cuban fighter simply hugged Kamenlev.

The referee was also very dissatisfied with such a negative match, and before the end of the match, he suspended the match, told the Cuban fighter that the match was too negative, and deducted one point from the Cuban fighter.

The final result of the fight between Kamenlev and the Cuban fighter was a point advantage for Kamenlev.

Kamenlev also became the first fighter to reach the final.

Wang Hao was doing preparations under the ring while watching the match between the two people, in Wang Hao's opinion, Kamenlev's confrontation ability is too strong, and the speed is not slow, if the Cuban boxer's last time is not so obscene, Kamenlev can almost knock out the Cuban boxer again and end the game.

Although the game ended with a penalty of points, the audience, especially the Soviet audience, was very satisfied with Kamenlev's performance.

They applauded Kamenlev after the victory, feeling that Kamenlev had fully played the Soviet fighter's style of play, and there was also a knockdown in the fight, which was much better than the last time Kamenlev fought against American Golden Glove champion Gilvajes.

The match between Wang Hao and Latiz began immediately.

At the signal of the referee on the court, Wang Hao and Latiz put on protective gear and gloves and came to the ring.

The on-field referee in this match, unlike the referee in the last match, was an experienced Soviet referee.

"You can't hit the belt! Can't hit the back of the head! ”

On the field, the referee once again introduced the precautions to Wang Hao and Latiz, and signaled the game for the two to start.

Bite! Bell bell bell!

The match between Wang Hao and Latiz officially began.

This will be the most powerful opponent Wang Hao has encountered since entering the boxing world in this life, and it will also be the first time that Wang Hao has taught skills with the champion of a boxing powerhouse.

Being able to successfully take Latiz is of great significance to Wang Hao.

The minds of the audience were also pulled back from the aftertaste of the last fight, and they all watched the match between Wang Hao and Latiz in the ring attentively.

Latiz has played many international competitions, and many people in the audience are familiar with Latiz, and although Wang Hao has performed eye-catching in this tournament and made many people remember him, after all, it is the first time to participate in a world event, and in the eyes of everyone, he is still a newcomer.

Moreover, Wang Hao's yellow identity is also very fresh for the audience, a young little-known Asian boxer, in the last few matches of international competitions, facing the champion of a boxing powerhouse, this kind of scene is the first time they have seen this kind of scene.

The audience at the scene watched the fight between the two in the ring with interest.

After the start of the match, Wang Hao and Latiz both played very carefully, and both tried to shoot jabs first.

Boom! Boom!

Latiz still straightened his body and punched very quickly, fast forward and back, very fast, and he first landed two jabs to test Wang Hao.

However, both jabs were blocked by Wang Hao with gloves, and the gloves of the two struck each other, making a heavy hitting sound that echoed in the ring.

At this time, the game had just begun, and Wang Hao first played on the right frame, and did not change to the left frame at the beginning.

Boom!

Wang Hao also quickly threw a left-handed jab to Latiz's face, testing Latiz.

Latiz reacted very quickly, leaned back quickly, and dodged Wang Hao's jab.

Wang Hao's jab was empty, but before his left hand could be fully withdrawn, Latiz saw the opportunity, and immediately leaned forward, and at the same time quickly threw a right hook, swinging Wang Hao's exposed left face.

Sou!

Wang Hao also reacted very quickly, and after seeing Latiz dodging the attack, he immediately punched forward, and quickly made a dive and dodge action.

Latiz's right hook grazed Wang Hao's scalp and almost hit Wang Hao.

Sou!

After Wang Hao got up, he also immediately hit a right hand back hand to counterattack, but Latiz immediately retreated with a sliding step, widening the distance, and Wang Hao's right hand back hand punch was empty.

Sou!

After sliding backwards, after Wang Hao's right hand punch was empty, he immediately made another forward sliding step, and at the same time, his forehand jab was pointed out, pointing at Wang Hao's face.

Seeing this, Wang Hao also quickly threw a heavy jab to meet Latiz, and at the same time swung his head to the side to dodge Latiz's jab.

Boom!

Boom!

Wang Hao was a little late, and Latiz's jab hit the moving Wang Hao's forehead, but Wang Hao's heavy jab hit Latiz's face directly.
