Chapter 233: The World Championships Begin and Latiz, who is in a complicated mood

After a brief reunion with his brother Klitschko, Wang Hao threw himself into preparing for his next bout against Nigerian Borg, who is ranked 14th in the 64kg category of the International Boxing Federation.

On the first day of the game, Borg also appeared, Wang Hao had already watched Borg's fight, and in that game Borg defeated an excellent white fighter from Argentina, Borgg showed excellent strength, solid boxing skills, and a relatively tough style of play.

Moreover, when Wang Hao watched Borg's game, he also found that Borg's arm span was very long, and this information was also confirmed by head coach Bian Fang.

Bian Fang found some data about Borg, and found that Borg's arm span was ten centimeters longer than his height, and it was also much longer than Wang Hao's arm span, about six or seven centimeters longer, which was a relatively obvious physical advantage for Borg, who was also much older than Wang Hao.

The long-arm show has an advantage in long-range attacks, because at long distance, the long-arm fighter can hit the short-arm fighter while ensuring that he is not hit by the short-arm boxer.

Therefore, how to deal with the advantage of Borg's arm span is a key point in Wang Hao's preparation for the competition.

Of course, Wang, who is confident in his dodge and distance control, thinks that even from a long distance, he can first dodge Borg's punches by dodging and then hit Borg from the right distance.

But after all, this is the practice of attacking the opponent's strengths with his own shortcomings, Wang Hao decided to hit the next game with Borg as close as possible and break through to the front of Borg to play.

This requires a good ability to shake and quickly approach the opponent, and in the two days of competition preparation, Wang Hao focused on practicing the ability to dodge the opponent's punch by shaking and dodging, and quickly approaching the opponent.

When it comes to the ability to defeat a big fighter with a small height and a big arm fighter with a short reach, heavyweight legend Mike Tyson is undoubtedly the most iconic.

Mike Tyson's nimble pace and dodging, as well as his ability to dash quickly, combined with powerful combinations of hooks and hooks, made him the youngest heavyweight world champion and dominating the world in the late '80s and early '90s.

Almost all of the most famous heavyweights of the era have fought Mike Tyson, and although they are equally skilled and adept at striking and fighting, there is still no way to take Mike Tyson's fast dash and extremely agile dodge, because Mike Tyson is too fast.

Moreover, if it is only the speed, it may not be able to determine the direction of the game, but the top speed combined with the top strength will end up devastating.

Wang Hao's current speed and strength are good enough at his level, but he has not yet reached the level of Mike Tyson's invincibility in the same level, and Wang Hao is still on the road of continuous improvement.

In the process of preparing for the competition in the past two days, Wang Hao also went to the Hamburg Athletic Center to watch the 64kg class of the World Championships, the remaining eight matches of the first round.

Especially in the match between the two highest-ranked fighters in this World Championships, Bulgarian Ichkov and Russian Nagaev, Wang Hao is the focus of attention.

Because the fighters who can reach the final in the second half of the zone will basically be decided from the two of Ichkov and Nagaev, and if Wang Hao can successfully reach the final from the top half, he will face the winner of Ichkov and Nagaev.

Therefore, it is very important for Wang Hao to pay attention to the game between the two in advance, and to analyze and prepare.

Ichkov and Nagaev both played very well in the first round, especially Ichkov.

Now almost 30 years old, Ichkov met a young fighter who was very young but strong, ranking 11th in the 64kg category of the International Boxing Federation, due to his youth, strength and fitness, but Ichkov still showed his super strength by knocking out the young opponent strongly.

Nagaev's opponent is the 10th ranked fighter in the 64kg category of the International Boxing Federation, and he is an experienced veteran fighter with 500 amateur fights, and even a little slippery, Nagaev did not win as clean and beautiful as Ichkov, but he still won with a steady number of points, showing a super technical level.

Through these two matches, combined with some information collected by Bian Fang about Ichkov and Nagaev, Wang Hao also has a better understanding of the characteristics of these two fighters.

Bulgarian Ichkov is a super heavy gunner, and compared to most heavy gunners, Wang Hao found that Ichkov's heavy punches are particularly accurate, especially the back hand punch, Wang Hao watched the match between Ichkov and the young fighter on the spot, and found that in this game, Ichkov's back hand punch hit an astonishing 40 percent.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Ichkov's opponent is a young boxer, not particularly rich in competition experience, and relies too much on the energy of his young body, but the 40 percent backhand boxing hit rate is still too amazing, you must know that in professional boxing, the master has a previous match, and the heavy punch hit rate can be 30%.

This made Wang Hao also look at Ichkov with admiration, knowing that if he encountered Ichkov in the later game, Ichkov's accurate back hand punch was something Wang Hao had to focus on defending.

Ichkov is not yet thirty years old, and has more than ten years of amateur boxing experience, from the perspective of experience, Ichkov is undoubtedly very experienced, it can be said that he has reached the level of having the experience capital of the old treacherous giant, in terms of physical condition, Ichkov, who is not yet thirty years old, is undoubtedly still in the age of fighting, so from all levels, Ichkov is a very dangerous opponent for Wang Hao.

And the technical characteristics of the Russian Nagaev, like most Soviet fighters, have solid skills and fast offensive rhythm, and in the match that Wang Hao saw, Nagaev almost kept throwing straight punches throughout the match, constantly putting offensive pressure on his opponent.

Wang Hao can see that although Nagaev's strength is not as good as Ithkov's, his punches are more frequent, and after a fight, he punches 30 percent more than Ichkov.

After watching the rest of the first round of the World Championships and having a certain understanding of the technical characteristics of the two best fighters in the lower half of the division, Ichkov and Nagaev, Wang Hao continued to prepare for the fight against his next opponent, Nigerian Borg, while thinking about how to deal with the two fighters.

Time flies quickly, two days pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the second round of this year's World Championships.

After the first round of competition, only 16 of the 32 fighters in each division competed.

As the No. 1 fighter in the 64-kilogram class, Wang Hao still played in the first round, and Wang Hao arrived early in the morning in the large competition hall of the athletic center in Hamburg, waiting to be weighed and prepare for the event.

Soon, the audience also arrived one after another, and Wang Hao's opponent, the black Nigerian boxer, was also surrounded by his own coaching team.

Borg wore a yellow sports shorts and tank top today, his expression was also more serious, Borg and his coaches watched Wang Hao's first day of the fight with Japanese fighter Kosuke Fuji, Wang Hao's first round strong finish against Kosuke Fuji left a deep impression on their hearts, which can be said to be very shocking.

Although Borg and his coaching staff are still confident about today's game, they know that it will not be easy to win this game.

In amateur boxing, a pre-fight weigh-in is performed every day of the match.

Wang Hao and Borg also passed the weigh-in smoothly, and the competition between the two began quickly.

Wang Hao still wore red shorts and a vest today, and almost at the same time as Borg stepped into the ring.

The on-field referee for today's home game is from France, and he is an experienced referee in his forties.

Jingle Bell Bell!

After the referee briefly repeated the precautions of the game on the field, as the bell rang, the game between Wang Hao and Borg began.

At the beginning of the match, Wang Hao and Borg played more cautiously, Wang Hao played more cautiously, because he should be familiar with the technical characteristics of the opponent on the spot, and then he will adopt the established strategy of hitting the middle and close range of the game.

And Borg played more cautiously, on the one hand, he was also familiar, on the other hand, Borg, who had already watched the match between Wang Hao and Fuji Kosuke, was a little jealous of Wang Hao's strength, and then in this game, the strategy adopted by Borg, who had the advantage of arm span, was also to play control and gain points from a long distance.

Burst!

The two came to a long distance, just at the distance where Borg could attack Wang Hao, Borg first hit a jab, which was very fast, but for Wang Hao, it was still not enough, Wang Hao dodged Borg's jab with a head swing, and at the same time took a small step forward, which also made a jab.

Seeing that Wang Hao dodged his jab and moved forward at the same time, Borg originally wanted to hit a backhand to meet him, but he found that Wang Hao moved and punched quickly, and Borg had not yet hit his backhand, and Wang Hao's jab was already coming.

Borg had a thrill in his heart, and instead of striking a head-on, he slid back and left his original position.

Wang Hao's left-hand jab was missed because the distance was not enough.

The two were in the middle and long distance, and the jab was frequently tested and familiarized, and although Borg had the advantage in his reach, he didn't take the lead.

The spectators in the stands saw that the game between the two had officially begun, and there was silence, and their eyes were all on the stands, watching the game intently.

Today's audience, quite a few of them have watched the first round of the game, and they still remember Wang Hao, who was the first to appear in the 64kg class at that time.

Wang Hao knocked out a Japanese fighter who was ranked higher than him in the first round, giving the crowd a pleasing bout to the eye, and many of them remembered Wang's appearance and name.

"Isn't this boxer in red shorts the first Chinese fighter to appear on the first day of the competition and the most wonderful fight?" Some viewers saw Wang Hao in the ring and said excitedly.

"It's him!" Another audience member shouted, "I recognize it too, I hope he can still play a good game today!"

There are many viewers who appreciate Wang Hao, and they expect Wang Hao to play the same wonderful game as on the first day, but there are also viewers who have different opinions.

When they heard the discussion of other audiences, they also said loudly: "Wang Hao's opponent today is different from the Japanese fighter last time, the strength is stronger, and the arm span is longer, Wang Hao wants to defeat the opponent every time it is not easy, and I can see that the strategy adopted by the Borg today is good, giving full play to the advantage of his arm span and playing long distance." Wang Hao doesn't seem to have a good coping strategy yet. ”

"I can see that, too!" Some viewers agreed, "Borg seems to be committed to winning on points, and if Wang Hao can't make up for the disadvantage of his reach, it's very risky to win this game." ”

In addition to the crowd watching the bout, the fighters and their coaches were also watching the bout intently from the ring.

And their focus is more on Wang Hao than on Nigerian fighter Borg.

Many of them did not know Wang Hao before the start of this World Championships, but Wang Hao's wonderful performance on the first day of the tournament attracted their attention.

Wang Hao's performance was the brightest of all the boxers in the first round, and the opponents he defeated were also ranked higher than himself, which made other fighters and coaches see Wang Hao as a big dark horse in this competition.

They don't know how far this dark horse can go, but they are very concerned, so the main attention of the game between Borg and Wang Hao is on Wang Hao.

There are also some fighters and coaches at the scene who have experienced the World Youth Boxing Championships more than two years ago and are more familiar with Wang Hao, and the most familiar of them is undoubtedly Latiz and his coach.

At that World Junior Boxing Championships, Wang Hao ended Latiz in the second round with his left-hand fight, which was the most painful defeat of Latiz, a proud Cuban boxer, in the youth boxer era.

To this day, that scene is still vivid for Latiz, Latiz looked at Wang Hao in the ring, and his mood was very complicated.

In the past two years, Latiz has learned from the pain, and has made great progress in technology, and has also made up for the technical loopholes that will not deal with the left fight, and in the past two years of adult amateur boxing, Latiz, who has continued to improve in overall strength, has also played smoothly, and has won the gold medal in the 60kg class of the last World Championships.

This time, Latiz, who was upgraded to participate in the 64kg competition, saw that Wang Hao was also participating, and he was looking forward to it at first, hoping that he had made up for the technical shortcomings of not being able to deal with the left frame and that his overall strength had greatly improved, and he could meet Wang Hao at this World Championships.

But when in the first round of the match, after seeing Wang Hao's wonderful performance in knocking out Kosuke Fuji, Latiz felt a little confused and fearful in his heart, and he found that two years later, although Wang Hao had just started to fight adult boxing, he was as sharp as ever, and even stronger.

Latiz has the heart to face off against Wang Hao again, but he is afraid that the tragedy will happen again, and he is conflicted in his heart.

The coach of Latiz, who was standing next to Latiz and was also watching Wang Hao's game with full attention, also had ideas in his heart, but he was not as contradictory as Latiz.
