Chapter 212: Pre-match and Kamenlev's self-confidence
From the end of the semifinals to the final round, there were two days in between, and Wang Hao insisted on training in the training hall for both days.
The final with the All-Union Youth Champion Kamenlev is undoubtedly the biggest test for Wang Hao, who wants to win the World Junior Boxing Championships, and Kamenlev is the last and most difficult hurdle.
Although Kamenlev may be slightly worse than Cuban junior champion Latiz in terms of speed, in terms of strength and confrontation, Kamenlev is definitely much better than Latiz.
This is also the reason why Kamenlev has the nickname "Red Scythe", his heavy punches can harvest enemies like a scythe.
Moreover, as a youth champion of the whole Soviet Union, Kamenlev's skills are also outstanding, and this technique is a very mature Soviet-style boxing technology system.
Therefore, Wang Hao is also very cautious about the match with Kamenlev, devoting all his energy to preparation, and planning the strategy of the game.
After the end of the semi-finals, in addition to Wang Hao receiving an interview invitation from the TV station, Wang Hao's defeated Latiz and final opponent Kamenlev were also interviewed by the sports channel of the Soviet state television, and the content of the interview was naturally related to Wang Hao and the final final.
On the Soviet state television, in the broadcast studio set up by the Ukrainian National Boxing Sports Center, Latiz and Kamenlev came to the scene to be interviewed by the female reporter of the sports channel of the Soviet state television.
The blonde-haired, red-suited Soviet female journalist smiled kindly and said first: "I am very happy to have two of you to join our program today!" The two are the Soviet National Junior Champion and the other is the Cuban National Junior Champion, and they have achieved excellent results in the two years of youth domestic and international competitions, and are the most powerful junior fighters in the boxing world in these two years! ”
"Now I want to ask you a few questions, first of all, this year's World Youth Boxing Championships, suddenly killed a Chinese dark horse and reached this year's finals, which has never happened in the history of world youth boxing, because boxing is mainly monopolized by several major boxing powers in Europe and the United States so far, and the best boxers are white or black boxers!"
"I would like to first ask our Soviet national junior champion Kamenlev, what do you think of Wang Hao's strong rise in this year's World Junior Championships?" The first question was asked by a Soviet female journalist, to Kamenlev.
After the semifinals, Kamenlev also devoted himself to the preparation process for the final with Wang Hao, but suddenly accepted an interview invitation from the sports channel of the Soviet national television.
"I watched Wang Hao's quarterfinals and semifinals!" Hearing the female reporter's question, Kamenlev coughed lightly, cleared his throat and replied, "Wang Hao is indeed very strong, and he is very young, I have never heard the name of this fighter in previous international competitions. Seeing him enter the final this time, my coaching team and I were also very surprised, and we had to temporarily adjust our game strategy and prepare. But I don't think there are any boxing powers in Asia, and China is no exception. And the best flowers undoubtedly need the most fertile soil, and I think Wang Hao's biggest possibility is just a flash in the pan in this year's competition, and it may be difficult to go far on the road of boxing. ”
"Boxing, especially adult boxing, requires the ability of a country's boxing culture and training system, and it is difficult for a single boxer to go far with his individual talent." After finishing his personal opinion, Kamenlev nodded to the moderator.
The host also smiled and nodded in response, saying: "Thank you Kamenlev for your answer, and now we would like to ask Cuba's national junior champion Latiz to talk about his views on Wang Hao's rise in this competition and how he feels about competing with Wang Hao." ”
The female reporter pointed the microphone at Latiz.
The latter had just lost the match with Wang Hao the day before, there were bruises on his face, and the whole person looked a little decadent, he replied: "Regarding Wang Hao's rise in this match, I have the same opinion as Kamenlev, Wang Hao is an Asian boxer, and the boxing culture of Asian countries is not prosperous, Wang Hao is likely to be short-lived." ”
"As for what you said about how you feel about this game with Wang Hao." Latiz continued, "I want to tell you, it's terrible! ”
"I have to say that Wang Hao does have some uniqueness, and his left-hand style of play surprised me and my coaching team, which is just missing a link in my technical system."
"Although we had thought before that it might be more troublesome to meet a left-hand fighter in the future, this situation is very rare after all, and we didn't expect it to come so quickly! It was a mistake on my part and that of my coaching team, and we will close this hole as soon as we get back to Cuba! The purpose of our visit to the Soviet Union this time is to win the gold medal in the World Youth Boxing Championships, which is the highest honor that every young boxer wants to obtain before entering adult boxing! But unfortunately, because of such a mistake and technical vulnerability, we failed! ”
"You know, there are a lot of good boxers and boxing coaches in Cuba who can give me the knowledge and training resources to deal with left-hand fighters! I hope to meet Wang Hao again in the near future, but it may be until the adult competition, and I hope that he will still be able to fight on the international boxing stage at that time. Latiz continued.
After listening to Latiz's answer, the Soviet female reporter also nodded again and continued to ask: "Now I want to ask Latiz another question, for the next game, who can win in the end, Wang Hao and Kamenlev, as a fighter who has fought against Wang Hao, what do you think?" ”
"I think the match between Kamenlev and Wang Hao will be a very exciting match! This fight was supposed to take place between me and Kamenlev. ”
"If you ask me who can win the final game, I personally think that Kamenlev has a greater chance, after all, this is the home of the Soviet Union, and there are few dark horses who can go all the way to the end, this is a boxing match after all, each is more cruel than the other, and if you lose one, you will not be qualified to move forward!"
Of course, if Kamenlev wants to win steadily, he must find a way to deal with Wang Hao's left-hand play, otherwise even if Kamenlev can win, it will be a miserable victory, and Wang Hao will bring great trauma to his body. But I still believe in Kamenlev's strength, ability to resist hits and technical system ability, and I believe that Kamenlev will be the final winner! Latiz finished his point.
After listening to Latiz's speech, the Soviet female reporter was also quite satisfied, and a more natural smile appeared on her face, after all, at the World Youth Boxing Championships held in the Soviet Union, the female reporter who was a Soviet citizen and the Soviet state television naturally hoped that Kamenlev would be able to leave this honor in the Soviet Union.
Immediately afterwards, the Soviet female reporter pointed the microphone at Kamenlev and said with a smile: "Finally, please talk about Kamenlev to talk about the final with Wang Hao in the future, whether you have been fully prepared and how sure you can win this game?" ”
Hearing this question from the female reporter, Kamenlev showed a confident smile on his face, and his tone was also full of confidence, and he replied: "By watching Wang Hao's two games before, we have learned about Wang Hao's ability, he is very good, but I am confident that I can beat him in the final." Because Wang Hao's style of play is essentially an offensive style, that is the most suitable for me, Wang Hao's age is slightly younger, I believe that I will suppress him in terms of confrontation ability, so I will win the final, of course the final will not be easy! But if Wang Hao lets go of fighting me, I believe that the game will not necessarily end in the form of a point decision! ”
Hearing Kamenlev's confident response, the smile on the female reporter's face also became even bigger, several of them have been following the World Junior Boxing Championships recently, and they also know Kamenlev very well as the national junior champion.
They knew that Kamenlev's fighting ability was absolutely top-notch, a must-have quality for a champion in the Soviet boxing system, and he could always put pressure on his opponent and destroy him with superior striking power.
Moreover, Wang Hao's age is also two or three years younger than Kamenlev, so several reporters from the Soviet state television, although they also think that Wang Hao is a very strong fighter and his confrontation ability is also very good, but when he encounters Kamenlev, it is difficult for Wang Hao to gain the upper hand in the confrontation.
However, there was still a question in the heart of the Soviet female reporter, she asked: "But Wang Hao can play left-handedly, this will be a big trouble, Latiz's failure is because of this, how did you prepare for this?" ”
Hearing the female reporter mention Wang Hao's left fight, Kamenlev smiled, and Kamenlev, who watched Wang Hao's semifinals, naturally knew that Wang Hao could play the left fight, which was a big trouble for most fighters, but not for Kamenlev.
"If you go to the Soviet youth boxing team for a few days and learn about my training, you will know that one of my closest sparring partners is a left-hand fighter, and I basically fight him every few days," Kamenlev said with a smile. So, I'm completely different from Latiz, a left-hand fighter won't be my nightmare, and I don't think Wang Hao's left-hand style is actually very mature, so I can handle it with ease. ”
"Moreover, my left-frame sparring partner has come to Ukraine, and I will play two afternoons of actual combat with him in the remaining two days, so Wang Hao's left-frame style of play is not a problem for me at all. I look forward to seeing Wang Hao's surprise and helplessness when his left frame style is broken by me! Kamenlev replied confidently.
"That's great!" When the Soviet female reporter heard that Kamenlev had experience in dealing with left-hand fighters, she fully understood why Kamenlev was so confident in the match between herself and Wang Hao, and Kamenlev's self-confidence was not blind at all, but came from the judgment of her own strength and Wang Hao's strength.
Moreover, judging from all aspects of information, the reporters of the Soviet state television at the scene, including the female host, believed that Kamenlev should be a fighter who just restrained Wang Hao's style.
After a few simple questions, the Soviet female journalist finished the interview, and the next thing was to wait for the final to begin, which will be televised on the sports channel of the Soviet state television, and they are very much looking forward to Kamenlev's performance.
Wang Hao did not know about the interview with his final opponent Kamenlev on the sports channel of the Soviet state television, and Wang Hao had been immersed in training for the past two days, preparing for the match with Kamenlev.
During this period, other reporters wanted to interview Wang Hao, but Wang Hao assigned Sun Zeyong to refuse, but Wang Hao also received an interview request from a young reporter from the Xinhua News Agency's Moscow correspondent station.
Wang Hao happily agreed to the interview with the national television station, but in order not to delay too much training time, Wang Hao was interviewed by a Xinhua News Agency reporter at the training hall.
A young male reporter with eyes from the Moscow Reporter Station interviewed Wang Hao very excitedly.
This reporter usually likes sports very much, especially boxing, when he learned that Wang Hao made a huge breakthrough in the World Youth Boxing Championships, surrounded by outstanding boxers from Europe and the United States, so he tried his best to fight for the opportunity to interview and report on Wang Hao.
Wang Hao was interviewed by a young male reporter for 20 minutes in the training hall, and the latter carefully prepared the script after the interview.
The young male reporter of Xinhua News Agency believes that Wang Hao's achievements should have the opportunity to be broadcast on CCTV, and if Wang Hao can win the final gold medal, he will even have the opportunity to give a briefing on the news broadcast at seven o'clock.
The young male correspondent of Xinhua News Agency was very much looking forward to it, and he stayed in Kyiv to wait for the end of the World Junior Boxing Championships.
In the past two days, Wang Hao also talked to his parents on the phone, first introducing the results of the previous competition, and then telling Wang Lizhi and Zhao Jinfeng that he would compete with the national junior champion of the Soviet Union for the final gold medal.
Wang Lizhi and Zhao Jinfeng, who heard the news, were also very excited, if Wang Hao can succeed, it will be a weighty world champion, Wang Lizhi and Zhao Jinfeng are looking forward to it, and at the same time told Wang Hao to pay attention to protect himself during the competition.
Moreover, during the two days of training, Wang Hao also met or knew that several groups of acquaintances were going to watch his game.
Atoli Lomachenko came to Wang Hao's training hall, cheered Wang Hao, and helped Wang Hao do a half-day pre-game training guidance, and told Wang Hao that their whole family, including Lomachenko Jr., would come to see the final final.
Brother Klitschko also came to visit Wang Hao, congratulated Wang Hao on entering the final, and told Wang Hao that they would go to watch the game live.
On the afternoon of the day before the final, Wang Hao met two acquaintances from China in the training hall.
Li Da'an, the owner of Taishan Boxing Club, and Qian Quanfang, Wang Hao's best partner in Taishan Boxing Club, came to the Ukrainian National Boxing Training Center, and they want to cheer for Wang Hao in Wang Hao's match tomorrow.
