Chapter 341: Who's going to teach him a lesson

After the Chinese team completes the qualifiers for the group stage, the next stage of the top 10 will start in October and continue to play until the end of January next year, and finally the semi-final round-robin in March.

This year's semi-finals are not knockout round-robins, but round-robin, and the format is different from last year's, because there are two qualifying places in the Asian zone, and most countries in the AFC believe that it is unfair to simply draw for the knockout round-robin, and the top four teams should be allowed to play a home-and-away round-robin match, and then decide the top two according to the points.

Of course, Wu Jie knows what these countries really think, they are worried that if they draw the Chinese team in the knockout round, it will be equivalent to drawing a must-die lottery, because even Wu Jie may come back at this stage of the game, and the chance of the Chinese team overturning at that time is almost non-existent.

However, if the two-legged round-robin system of home and away games continues, then the other three teams that break into the semi-finals will have the opportunity to compete for a second place, and the third place can also play a repechage match against the first place in Oceania.

China, of course, are against this format, not because they are afraid of losing, but because they will have to play a few more games in the third stage, and it is likely that they will not be able to finish all the qualifiers until May.

But it was useless for them to oppose it, and all the countries that made it to the top 10 agreed to a format that would not suddenly die of their own.

In fact, this kind of competition system is not without benefits to the Chinese team, they can just let the players of the AB national team go through the screening again, and the more games will greatly reduce the probability of upsets, and they don't need to transfer Wu Jie and others back.

In the next few months, they will screen out the players who have performed well from the B team this time, and then form a team with some players from Europe to participate in the top 10 stage.

At this stage, the players in Europe will decide whether to call up or not based on the situation, and to put it bluntly, whether the first two games go well.

If there are still no challenges, then there is naturally no need to recruit too many players in Europe, and continue to use this group of domestic players to play.

But if they run into trouble, it will depend on how much pressure the Asian teams put on them to determine the strength of the recall.

Wu Jie had already withdrawn his attention from China at this time and began to prepare for the FA Cup final at the end of the month.

However, on the 28th, he still found time to watch a game of Qin Jian.

Qin Jian made his professional debut at the end of January, taking less than ten seconds to claim his first career win and nearly breaking the record for the fastest knockout in a professional boxing career.

This performance naturally made the IBF look more favorably on him, and he was quickly selected as an opponent for the second match.

Qin Jian didn't even lose a single hair in the first battle, so naturally he didn't resist and played the second game only half a month apart, and the less the interval between games for him, the better.

This time, Qin Jian didn't put on another good show of instant kills, but he still managed to knock out his opponent before the end of the first round.

The IBF has thoroughly promoted him this time, and began to carefully arrange matches for him, and gradually increased the promotion efforts, of course, provided that he cannot participate in the other two organizations until he gets the gold medal.

Next, Qin Jian fought one match each in early March, low in March, and low in April, and the strength of the opponent naturally became stronger and stronger, and finally someone persevered through the first round in the fourth fight, although he was knocked out at the beginning of the second round and gave up the match.

In Game 5, IBF assigned him another step up against a veteran who had finished in the top 15 in both the WBA and WBC, with a 25-9 record.

But whether it is a rookie or a veteran, no one can escape Qin Jian's wine sacrifice Dafa.

The veteran, who had thirty professional fights, stood in front of Qin Jian for the longest time, but only lasted three rounds, and the price was that he was beaten unconscious and sent to the hospital after being bruised all over his body, and he didn't know if his appearance fee was enough for medical expenses.

Qin Jian's appearance fee has risen in a straight line, from $5,000 in the first game to $50,000 in the fifth game!

This process of growth was accompanied by a significant increase in his fame.

Qin Jian does have a lot of highlights - Chinese boxer, Olympic champion, welterweight, 19 years old, won all 5 fights, and won all by knockout.

With such a resume, Qin Jian began to be noticed by more and more fans, and his ranking is also rising like a rocket.

In the latest edition of the IBF rankings, although he still did not enter the top 15, this is only because there are too few games.

This time, the opponent assigned by the IBF is no longer an outdated veteran, but a contemporary master who is ranked 14th in the WBA welterweight ranking and 11th in the IBF welterweight ranking in the latest edition.

Of course, can this ranking really be called a "master"?

Qin Jian felt that it was not enough, this kind of boxer who could have a lower ranking on the list could only be said to be no longer a nameless and unknown non-mainstream boxer, but it would be too much to say that it was a master.

In his eyes, only the top three players in each organization are considered masters, but to compete with these people, he has to defeat a few second- and third-rate opponents.

This fighter from Poland, whose name is Kovar, belongs to the third-rate level.

This man is not very old, 24 years old is generally just entering the peak of professional boxing, of course, he and monsters like Tyson are not among them.

Kovar doesn't have a lot of professional experience, having only played 10 professional games so far, with a 9-1 record.

His only defeat came exactly three months ago in the tenth game, when he lost to Andrew, who is ranked No. 5 in the WBA.

But the defeat didn't knock him down, it proved that he has the potential to continue his upward trajectory, after all, he is only a rookie in boxing at this age.

Qin Jian belongs to the champion show who has just been selected, and his potential is undoubtedly higher in the eyes of others, but whether he can beat Koval at this stage is difficult to say by American fans and related media people.

But they all think that even if Koval can't beat Qin Jian, at least he can end the Chinese's streak of knockouts.

Kovar also has his own characteristics, and unlike Qin Jian, who won all of his fights by knockout, the Polish fighter's best thing is defense.

His defensive skills are very solid, and his ability to resist strikes is also very good, although the offensive skills are a little rough, especially the ability to burst out, but thanks to the experience of more than 50 amateur boxing matches, he is very good at stealing points, while not allowing opponents to easily get effective points on him

This style has also led to the fact that only two of his ten fights have been won by knockout, and the other wins have been all by points, and the loss was not a knockout.

Qin Jian could naturally feel the intention of IBF, this was to find a guy with a style diametrically opposed to his own to restrain him, and of course it could also be said to be a real experiment of his potential.

This match was arranged to be held at the MGM Hotel, and the outside world was very interested in Qin Jian's appearance fee before the game, because this fight was hyped by the IBF before the game, combined with the staggering amount of spinach bets, and the pay TV broadcast that many boxing champions did not have, it is obvious that this is the highest star game of this round, so Qin Jian's appearance fee will naturally not be low.

MSM also revealed Qin Jian's appearance fee in a timely manner, of course, in a way of internal leakage.

Thousands of days before the game, the media published exclusive inside information, and it is said that Qin Jian's appearance fee in this battle is as high as a staggering 200,000 US dollars.

As soon as this amount was revealed, it immediately caused a sensation in the United States!

In the mid-80s, although the record for the highest appearance fee had reached the million-dollar level, it was only a historical boxing champion like Ali who could get it, and the opponent was not too bad, and it had to be a battle of the century between superstars.

But except for a small number of battles of the century, there are only a handful of really high-paying professional fighters in the professional boxing world, and many first-class fighters who have won the championship belt have an appearance fee of tens of thousands of dollars.

So Qin Jian, who couldn't even enter the top fifteen, was able to get a higher appearance fee than most of the boxing champion-level players, how could he not be surprised and jealous?

But this, first of all, the news revealed may not be true, MSM did not disclose Qin Jian's appearance fee, how much credibility this kind of inside information can have, it depends on how much you believe.

In addition, the high or low appearance fee of a fighter mainly depends on how high it is sought after by the market and the media.

Qin Jian's commercial value is certainly not as high as Yao Ming twenty years later, but his topicality and news degree are even more than that.

The U.S. media and television stations are willing to hype him or broadcast his games live because they can attract a large American audience to watch them and make more profits.

This is actually the commercial value and news value, so his real appearance fee has risen to $100,000, which is not incomprehensible, and many people are willing to pay for it because they can get it back. Qi Yan reads

This time, Qin Jian did not use pressing attacks to meet the enemy, although Koval's height and arm span are not as good as him, but his strong body has solid defensive skills, and it is not easy to knock him down.

But mainly in terms of explosiveness, he still has a gap with Tyson.

If he is facing an opponent who is not in the stream, he can certainly rely on his invincible experience to simulate Tyson's pressing attack that advances and does not retreat to kill the opponent in seconds.

But this style of play is a bit like Gu Mozhi using Xiao Wuxiang Gong to forcibly urge other martial arts, and it is naturally invincible in the face of small roles, but if you really meet a master, you will be deflated, at least the probability of accidents will be higher.

Koval is not a real master, but Qin Jian knows that according to his upgrade speed, he will inevitably enter the top fifteen after this battle, so he will have to play against second-rate or even first-class masters, so it is time for him to treat the game in some ways that he is good at, and he can't waste any more.

Today, he took advantage of his height and arm length to control the European fighter who was solid defensively but not very footwork from the start.

Koval's defense was solid, but he couldn't keep up with Qin Jian's flickering and ghostly footsteps.

Qin Jian's footsteps not only refer to the butterfly step, but also draw on the strengths of others to form his own characteristics.

He can use the entire ring space very gracefully, moving at any time, whether it's sliding from one place to another like a snake or moving like a ghost in a limited space.

But what made Koval most unable to parry was Qin Jian's fast and ferocious left straight punch, he could swear to God, he had never seen a straight left punch with this speed and strength in his life!

After the start of the game, he couldn't even get close to Qin Jian, as long as he entered the range of Qin Jian's straight punch attack, he had to defend against Qin Jian's amazing output ability with all his might.

The most embarrassing thing is that even if he is not close, he still has to be constantly attacked by Qin Jian, who is almost perfect from the control.

At this time, as long as he has any extra moves other than defense, he will either be stolen by a jab or hit by a straight punch to reduce his HP!

At the end of the first round, Koval was finally knocked down once by a sudden combination of punches under Qin Jian's incessant blows, but fortunately the bell rang in time to save him.

But the 20,000 spectators at the show, including countless viewers in front of the TV, no one thought that Koval could win, and the gap between the two was unbelievably wider.

Qin Jian's left straight fist was certainly fierce and ferocious, but what made him truly invincible was that ghostly step and the god-level dodge that seemed to be open behind him when he was close.

After the first round, Qin Jian's face was not to mention that he had been hit hard, and he hadn't even suffered a few ineffective blows, and he couldn't see any scars at the moment.

At this time, when the camera was pointed at Koval again, the change in painting style was simply unexpected, and I saw that his face was not only obviously swollen, but also a cut in the eyebrow bone of his right eye, which would be treated with cracked teeth.

Obviously, Koval could neither defend against Qin Jian's attack nor hit his opponent at all, this was not a close contest at all.

Not counting the fall in the first round, his disadvantage in points alone is enough to make people feel distressed, and in the eyes of the audience, Koval is really like a mobile sandbag that can only be beaten in front of Qin Jian.

"Am I fighting a heavyweight opponent?"

Koval also felt unreal, Qin Jian's weight was one pound lighter than him, his height was 5 centimeters taller than him, and his arm span was more than 8 centimeters.

In this case, his punch weight should be far more than that, and Qin Jian's control style today is indeed the most suitable style of play.

But here's the problem, a power that should be an agile hero is actually bigger than his power hero, which is too funny, right?

Qin Jian didn't know what he thought in his heart, otherwise he would definitely tell him: This is not the only one, I have a colleague who is obviously a power-type dwarf attribute hero, but it is faster and more flexible than an agility-type hero, and when you meet him, you will know that this is a game that only belongs to monsters.

Wu Jie said: Football and basketball are not the same, even playing Go is also a game for monsters! In fact, it's good that you can be a stepping stone for monsters, at least you are a genius who is unique in normal people!

Koval does have a one-in-a-million talent, he can stand up after being knocked down in the first round, and he was directly beaten into a pig's head in the second round, and he actually survived.

If you hit a book friend at this level, it shouldn't be a problem to hit ten.

But after two rounds, Qin Jian's face still didn't have any blood stains and swelling, while Koval on the other side was severely swollen in many places on his face, and both eye sockets were all cracked.

Khoval's physical strength is good, after all, he is good at grinding 1215 rounds to defeat his opponent on points, and it is certainly impossible without excellent physical fitness.

But in this match with Qin Jian, he was passively beaten from beginning to end, and his mental and physical fatigue was accelerating, and he felt physical fatigue in the third round.

Qin Jian also saw that Koval's defensive skills were beginning to show flaws, and it was not out of tactical lure to the enemy.

In this case, Qin Jian did not give him another chance to continue to fight, and began to greatly increase the frequency of his hooks and uppercuts.

In the face of Qin Jian's sudden burst of continuous attacks, Kwal's whole person was like being beaten by a hammer, and finally at the end of the third round, Qin Jian seized the opportunity and knocked him down again with a set of sudden burst combination punches!

This time Koval didn't get back on his feet, and he could have held on a little longer, and at that point he could have been saved by the bell and try to drag the fight to the third round.

But at this time, Koval had been completely defeated by Qin Jian psychologically, and he really didn't want to continue to fight with a freak whose jab strength was close to a straight fist and the strength of a straight fist in the back hand was close to a hook fist, but the speed of the swing punch was close to that of a straight punch.

At this moment, among the 20,000 boxing fans at the scene, some people had already raised the portrait of Qin Jian and began to shout various nicknames for him.

After Qin Jian's six games, many people were indeed captured by his style of play and began to become junior fans who paid more and more attention to him.

Qin Jian's fans are not won by knocking out opponents, but that the media and fans think that his style is a fierce offensive player, and he is very changeable, his offensive and defensive skills are extremely complete, coupled with ghostly footsteps and god-level dodge, these are the reasons why he is easy to attract fans.

If Qin Jian was a white American, he would already be the brightest rising star in the world boxing by now.

But Qin Jian, who once again won by knocking out his opponent, turned his head to look at Qin Jiu, who was already cold in the audience, but his heart was not so satisfied.

He knows that his style is not really fierce, and his colleague who is about to make his debut is really fierce!

Tyson certainly isn't the greatest fighter in boxing history, but this style is his favorite, and it's a shame that he can only use the Tyson-style style when he abuses vegetables.

But when he thought of the guy who barely used straight punches and jabs, all swinging fists and crazy wheels, and only advancing and not retreating, Qin Jian could only shake his head.

After Tyson's debut, his influence will definitely surpass him a little with the addition of style and nationality.

But after all, he can't go and never return like a berserker, and this style is something that Tyson can really control.

"Who can beat him?"

The next day, a malicious report in the Los Angeles Times made Qin Jian a focus of discussion inside and outside the boxing world.

American fans feel that he has indeed won too much, and the key is that it is too easy.

If this continues, he will no longer think that there is no one in American boxing.

In the next game, will you arrange a real master for him to teach this Chinese rookie a lesson?

As for the top fighters in the IBF, it will be natural to be eager to try and teach him a lesson.

They don't think that Qin Jian, a 19-year-old kid, really has the strength of a boxing champion.

These people think that Qin Jian can play so smoothly, and the only explanation is that the opponent arranged by IBF for him is too weak!
