Chapter 303: Proud Amateur Record, Getting on the Right Track, and First Professional Race Begins
Wang Hao has confirmed that he will make his debut in the ultra-lightweight division of 64 kilograms, and he has first set his sights on the relatively best of the four ultra-lightweight boxing champions, which is the ultra-lightweight International Boxing Association (IWBA) boxing champion Lao Chavez.
The rest of the matter is to improve the ranking of the four major boxing organizations, especially the International Boxing Association WBA, as soon as possible, and qualify for the boxing title challenge as soon as possible.
Paul, who is very attentive, is also an opponent who has already found the first game for Wang Hao.
Paul first threw out what he thought was the most suitable Polish fighter, Edinson Cavani.
Immediately afterward, Paul added: "There is another fighter who is also more suitable, he is the French boxer Sabero, who is currently ranked 45th in the ultra-lightweight division of the WBA and has a certain popularity in France. But the fighter is older and doesn't have a great professional record, with a total of 20 professional fights, 11 wins, eight defeats, and one draw. ”
"In comparison, Poland's Edinson Cavani has a much better record, with nine professional fights and a winning record at the moment, including six knockouts, and is very young, at the age of twenty-two."
"I feel like the Polish fighter Cavani is a better fit for you, but in the first professional fight, it seems safer to fight the French fighter Sabero." Paul continued.
Wang Hao listened to Paul's narration, compared with these two fighters, it is obvious that the Polish boxer Cavani is better, with a high ranking, a good record, and he is still young.
Wang Hao asked, "What is the style of these two fighters?" ”
Paul obviously did a good job, and Paul replied without any hesitation to Wang Hao's question: "After all, the Polish boxer Cavani is young and vigorous, has a tough fighting style, likes to attack, and is good at eating opponents by attacking, but the French boxer Sabello is in his thirties, he is an old fritter, his playing style is relatively smooth, and his ornamental is average." ”
"Then choose the Polish fighter Edinson Cavani as my first opponent!" After listening to Paul's statement on the styles of the two fighters, Wang Hao immediately made a decision.
As the opponent of Wang Hao's first professional match, the only advantage of the French boxer Sabello is safety, but this is by no means the game and opponent that Wang Hao expected, so Wang Hao did not hesitate much, and chose the Polish boxer Cavani.
Wang Hao believes that judging from the Polish boxer's record and fighting style, he can bring Wang Hao a passionate and popular match.
There is a total distance of 12 or 3 kilometers from the Berlin railway station to the Rhine Boxing Club, and the three of them chatted all the way, and soon arrived.
William and Paul first led Wang Hao on a tour of the Rhine Boxing Club.
Located on the outskirts of Berlin, the Rheinland Boxing Club is a two-storey boxing club with a usable area of several thousand square metres.
The Rheinland Boxing Club is worthy of being the best boxing club in continental Europe, and the club's hardware facilities are also first-class, with all kinds of training facilities, and there are two standard rings on the first and second floors.
The Rhine Boxing Club occupies a large area, but there are not many fighters, and William's criteria for recruiting fighters are not too many, after all, in boxing, only star fighters at the top have market value.
There are only about 20 boxers in the entire Rhine Boxing Club, and these boxers are very young, most of them are not more than 25 years old, and there are only six or seven of them, including Wang Hao and Klitschko.
Although there are not many boxers, there are many coaches in the Rheinland Boxing Club, including Paul, all the coaches and assistant coaches have a total of five, as well as a team doctor and a nutritionist, both of whom are also part-time assistant coaches.
Corresponding to the scale of more than 20 fighters, such a coach configuration is quite good.
William first led Wang Hao to visit the entire Rhine Boxing Club, and introduced the club's coach and other fighters to Wang Hao one by one.
These coaches and fighters have long known that the club will have a strong middleweight Asian fighter in the future, who is a double Olympic and World Champion champion, and they know that the boss has gone to great lengths to bring him in.
Therefore, when William introduced Wang Hao to everyone, everyone showed extraordinary respect for Wang Hao, at least on the surface.
Of course, most of them respect Wang Hao because they admire Wang Hao's strength, and a small number of people respect Wang Hao because William and Paul attach importance to Wang Hao, as well as the friendship between Brother Klitschko and Wang Hao, so they also respect Wang Hao very much, and the remaining very few only show respect on the surface, but in their hearts they feel jealous of Wang Hao, a young Asian boxer with a higher status than them.
In the evening of the same day, William held a grand celebration to celebrate Wang Hao's arrival, and then Wang Hao officially began his training at the Rhine Boxing Club.
After Wang Hao came to the Rhine Boxing Club, Paul put most of his energy into training Wang Hao, Wang Hao trained in the club for five or six hours a day, and Paul would basically accompany Wang Hao throughout the whole process.
This is a treatment that the other two dozen fighters of the Rheinland Boxing Club have never had.
The reason why Paul is so devoted to Wang Hao is because of William's advice, and on the other hand, because of the shock that Wang Hao's amateur record brought to Paul.
Before Wang Hao came, when Paul saw Wang Hao's amateur record report card taken out by William, he was very shocked, and the record card was written with Wang Hao's honor and record.
Paul clearly remembers that there are three shining titles on it, the World Junior Boxing Championship, the World Boxing Championship, the Olympic Boxing Champion, and Wang Hao's amateur boxing results since he was a teenager, one hundred and sixty-seven amateur matches, all victories!
When he saw Wang Hao's three titles, Paul felt that William and Rheinland Boxing Club had picked up a treasure, but when he saw that Wang Hao's amateur record turned out to be 167 wins, Paul was shocked.
Since Wang Hao was a teenager, he has played a total of 167 amateur matches, which is not too much for an amateur boxer, nor is it too little, and it is decent, but the result of the game is 167 wins, this record is amazing!
Paul has been a boxing coach for so many years, and he has seen a lot of boxing geniuses, some of them are Olympic and World Championship champions, and some are professional boxing champions, but Paul has never seen a boxer who has fought more than 100 amateur matches and entered the professional boxing world with a complete victory.
Before, the best boxer Paul had ever seen, fought more than a hundred amateur boxing matches, and at least lost two or three fights, but Wang Hao didn't lose a single one.
Wang Hao's amateur results completely convinced Paul, so the experienced former head coach of the East German national boxing team will devote himself to Wang Hao's training, even more than William advised.
After all, amateur boxing only has three rounds, while professional boxing requires a maximum of twelve rounds, and physical fitness is the most important threshold for a boxer to turn from amateur to professional.
Then, amateur boxing with protective gear, while professional boxing has no protection except for mouth guards, and professional boxers have gloves that are thinner than amateur boxers, all of which pose a higher challenge to professional boxers' ability to resist hits.
In addition to physical fitness and fighting ability, Paul also gave some guidance on Wang Hao's playing style and technical details with his own experience, but there was not much guidance.
It's not that Paul is unwilling to guide, and Paul found that he couldn't bring Wang Hao much in technical details, which made Paul amazed, and realized that Wang Hao's victory in 167 amateur games was definitely not in vain, and Paul also faintly felt that there were masters behind Wang Hao, and at least one level higher than himself.
In the third month of the Rhine Boxing Club, Wang Hao got his boxing license in Europe, and then after William's arrangement and publicity, Wang Hao waited for his first professional boxing match in the fifth month, and the Polish boxer Cavani.
In the past five months, under the guidance of Paul, Wang Hao's physical fitness has made great progress, his neck has also become thicker, and his ability to resist blows has also improved significantly, and then he has learned new things in some technical details.
Wang Hao himself is still very satisfied with the progress of the past five months and Paul's investment, and when William asked Wang Hao's opinion on Paul many times, Wang Hao gave Paul a high evaluation.
The match between Wang Hao and Polish boxer Cavani was arranged at a football stadium in Stuttgart, Germany, and the organizers modified the football stadium and set up a boxing arena on the spot.
The match between Wang Hao and Polish boxer Edinson Cavani will be held as one of the four boxing matches on the night, which can accommodate six or seven thousand people.
Wilhelm and the Rheinland Boxing Club were responsible for promoting all the fights on the evening, which he called the Night of Boxing on the Rhine.
Wang Hao came to Stuttgart three days before the game with two other participating Rhine Boxing Club fighters to prepare for the fight.
Finally, it was the day of the game, and since it was a night game, after dark, the lights were turned on, and the spectators who had had dinner entered one after another.
Wang Hao visually estimated that there should be about 4,000 spectators at the scene, which is quite good for a boxing match without a major title.
There are four bouts tonight in the featherweight, super lightweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, with one of the heavyweight divisions featuring the Intercontinental Champion title.
The arrangement of the competition is sorted according to the degree of importance, first starting with featherweight, then light heavyweight, Wang Hao's ultra-lightweight match, although there is no title, but because of Wang Hao's status as the world championship and Olympic champion, ranked in the penultimate game, and the heavyweight match of the continental title, was ranked last.
Tonight's game, there can be nearly 4,000 spectators, in fact, there is also Wang Hao's World Championships and Olympic champion status, William used Wang Hao's amateur competition results before the game, did a lot of publicity, so many viewers came to see Wang Hao's game.
After all, in the eyes of the audience, the amateur boxing Olympic and World Championships double champion match, presumably will not be bad.
The first bout started first, without the Rhine Boxing Club's fighters, and the bout was between a British fighter and a Russian fighter, and the British fighter fought hard for six rounds to win over the Russian fighter.
The second match, which was also a six-round match, was between a German light heavyweight from the Rhine Boxing Club and a light heavyweight from Italy, and although the weight class was higher, the two fighters won three rounds each and drew 57-57.
In the third match, Wang Hao's match with Polish fighter Cavani is ready to begin.
Polish fighter Edinson Cavani was the first to appear, wearing yellow shorts and a yellow cape, and accompanied by the two coaches to the live music, walked into the ring, walked through the narrow aisle, and slowly climbed into the ring.
In this process, the introduction of the host on the scene also sounded, "Ladies! Gentlemen! Polish fighter Edinson Cavani, aged 22, has a professional record of nine victories and six knockout victories! ”
Immediately afterwards, the scene sounded with a bright rhythm, and Wang Hao, surrounded by the coaching team, entered.
Today, Wang Hao wore a pair of blue shorts and a black cape, almost burying half of his face, showing a certain sense of mystery.
Wang Hao's head coach Paul, walking in front of Wang Hao, Wang Hao put his right hand on Paul's right shoulder and slowly entered.
During this process, the voice of the host also sounded: "Ladies! Gentlemen! Now in the field is the winner of the World Championships and Olympic boxing gold medal, Mr. Wang Hao from China! Today is Mr. Wang Hao's first fight after entering professional boxing! ”
With the introduction of the live host, the audience at the scene also stood or stretched their necks, looking at the aisle of the boxers in the middle, and most of them bought tickets to watch the competition, just to see the world championships and Olympic champions.
Although Wang Hao is a yellow-skinned fighter from Asia, it is also very fresh for European fans who have seen too many black fighters and white fighters.
The audience at the scene also began to discuss.
"This is the Olympic and World Championships boxing champion!"
"I heard that his amateur boxing is a complete victory, which is amazing!"
"Good luck to him in professional boxing for the first time, after all, his opponent has won all nine fights, and his strength is not weak!"
In the midst of everyone's discussions, Wang Hao took off his cloak and stepped onto the ring.
