Chapter 493: The First and Second Races
The boxing match held at Wembley Stadium was Wang Hao's eleventh professional boxing match, and Wang Hao defended the super lightweight IBF, WBC and WBA three boxing titles.
This match is also the first time Wang Hao has faced a top speed fighter like Yudah.
Wang Hao has faced a variety of strong opponents in the course of previous matches, such as the extremely strong boxing veteran Chavez, the ultra-lightweight young generation prospective king Costa Zu who has strong confrontation ability and strong fighting ability, and the young king of Mexico, Morales, who is fast and capable of confrontation.
It should be said that among these strong hands that Wang Hao has beaten, their reaction and movement speed are not slow, but they are still obviously not as fast as Yudah.
Yodah moves and throws punches at a speed that clearly surpasses Kosta Zu and Chavez, and is also extremely flexible, and it should be said that among all the fighters in today's boxing world, only Yodhah and Mayweather have both speed and flexibility.
So in this game, Wang Hao is facing a completely different strong opponent, his characteristics are very distinct, but it is completely different from the opponent Wang Hao has met before, before the game, many observers believe that Wang Hao may be difficult to deal with Yudah's speed, and even many people think that Yudach will win this game in the form of points.
Of course, there are many industry observers who believe that Wang Hao will win this match by points or knockout of Yodah.
In the pre-match bookmaker odds, Wang Hao was ahead of Yudah in the form of 1 to 2, showing that most people still think that Wang Hao will win this game, but the 1 to 2 advantage is only a small advantage, indicating that the number of people who think Wang Hao will win is definitely not one-sided.
At 8pm local time on Saturday, Wembley Stadium was packed with people waiting for the start of the match, with a total of four matches tonight, of which Wang Hao and Yudach were naturally the most concerned, and the current WBC and WBO featherweight champion Nassim Hamed and challenger Soto from the United States were another high-profile match.
Just after eight o'clock, the first of the four fights tonight, the six-round heavyweight bout, began first.
There is no title in this fight, but both fighters are very big in weight class and size, and both fighters are from Europe, and both fighters are homegrown fighters.
The lights changed at Wembley Stadium, and in anticipation of the fans, the two fighters for the first fight of the night began to enter.
There are two hosts on the scene today, both of whom are from the famous Sky Sports in the UK, and one of the hosts in the ring, named Tony, is a young male host, he is tall and has a magnetic voice.
The other is a slightly chubby middle-aged man named Johnson, who is a frequent and experienced boxing commentator on Sky Sports in the UK, and he sits in the commentary booth to be the commentator for tonight's match.
Today's scene also invited two famous commentators, one is a famous Russian boxer from Australia, and the former boxing champion of the two major boxing organizations in the super lightweight WBC and IBF boxing organizations, Costa Zu, and the other is the famous former American Olympic boxer, and one of the most powerful undefeated fighters in the super lightweight division David Diaz.
The organizers invited these two fighters, apparently after careful consideration, because these two fighters, one once fought with Wang Hao in the famous ultra-lightweight four major boxing organizations to organize a unified battle, but failed, while the other once fought Wang Hao in the amateur boxing era at the Olympics and the World Boxing Championships, but also did not defeat Wang Hao.
However, Costa Zu and Diaz are currently the best fighters in the ultra-lightweight division, and Costa Zu's strength is still above the strength of old boxing champions Chaviz and Camacho, Diaz has not yet fought against the super-lightweight Chavitz, Camacho, Yudach and Costa Zu, but has defeated many quasi-first-class fighters.
Before Wang Hao and Yodach confirmed their matchup, Wang Hao's match with Costa Zu, as well as Wang Hao's match with Diaz, had also been discussed by fans and industry insiders, and these two fights were very likely, but Wang Hao and Wang Hao's team gave priority to the more prestigious Yudah to fight.
Therefore, the organizers chose Costa Zu and Diaz, two fighters who are going to fight Wang Hao or fight for the second time, to be the on-site commentators of Wang Hao and Yudah's match, which has been carefully considered.
The lights on the scene changed, and while the two fighters entered one after another, Tony, the host of Sky Sports in the ring, also began to introduce the two fighters.
"Ladies! Gentlemen! The first bout you'll see tonight will be a six-round heavyweight bout between two giants who are over two meters tall! “
Tony continued.
"The first to appear is Petrov from Bulgaria, Petrov is two meters and one meter tall, weighs one hundred and eight kilograms, and his professional record so far is 10 fights, eight wins, two defeats, and six of the victories are won by knocking out opponents!"
At the same time as the host Tony explained, Petrov from Bulgaria appeared first, he was an unusually tall white boxer, muscular, his expression looked a little sluggish, he seemed to be a simple-minded fighter with developed limbs, he appeared surrounded by several coaches and assistants, which also caused some fans to shout.
The fighters in the secondary bout tend to be on the stage relatively quickly, so fans won't have to wait long, and after Petrov in Bulgaria took the stage, another fighter in the first bout also began to take the stage.
Tony, the host of the scene, also said at this time: "Let's welcome Hansen, a heavyweight fighter from the UK, to play." ”
The music changed at the scene, and surrounded by the coaching team, Hansen, a British fighter wearing yellow shorts and also very tall, appeared.
Unlike Bulgarian fighter Petrov, who is a typical white Central and Eastern European fighter, Hansen is a black fighter, and his coaches and assistants are all black.
Tony, the host of the scene, also continued to introduce, "Hansen is two meters and three meters tall, weighs one hundred and twelve kilograms, and has a professional record of seven fights so far, of which six have won and all of them have won by knockout, and one has been lost. ”
In the voice of the host, Hansen also quickly stepped into the ring and made preparations to start the fight at any time.
Wang Hao had already arrived at the boxer's lounge at this time and had already begun to prepare for the activities.
Although the fight between Wang Hao and Yudah is the last, generally speaking, the fighters will arrive early, because if there is a knockdown in the previous match, it will end quickly, and if they do not come to the lounge in advance to prepare, if the fight starts early, it will be very passive for the fighters.
And Wang Hao's rigor in preparing for the game is also significantly higher than that of most fighters, so Wang Hao is used to entering the first game before the start of the first fight, no matter how many positions he ranks in the competition.
And, because Wang Hao is the owner of the four belts in the ultra-lightweight division and the star of tonight's bout, the lounge Wang Hao uses is also custom-made, two to three times the size of other fighters' lounges.
In Wang Hao's lounge, there is also a TV, through which Wang Hao can see the situation at the game site.
When the two heavyweights in the first fight came out, Wang Hao was also watching the TV screen.
The huge size of the two fighters attracted Wang Hao's attention, because although generally speaking, heavyweight fighters are tall and big, and boxing champions like Tyson are considered small in the heavyweight class, it is still very rare for both fighters to exceed two meters and a hundred kilograms in height and weight like today's two fighters.
However, the record of these two heavyweight fighters is really average, one fought ten fights, lost two, and the other fought seven fights and lost one, obviously these two fighters are not very powerful fighters in the heavyweight division, which must be the reason why they have only played six rounds of untitled fights until now, Wang Hao also thought about it.
At this time, in the ring, the two fighters had already stood in the middle of the ring and began to listen to the referee's final introduction to the precautions.
"No hitting the back of the head! Do not hit the belt below! "Qishu.com
After the referee on the field finally introduced the precautions, the game officially began.
After the bout, both fighters walked quickly towards each other.
Boom! Boom!
Black British boxer Hansen threw the first punch, landing a jab and a backhand.
At this time, the Bulgarian white boxer Petrov clenched his fist and defended it, and did not punch.
The Bulgarian petrov blocked Hansen's jab with gloves and then dodged Hansen's right backhand with a slight dip.
Boom!
Immediately afterward, Bulgarian fighter Petrov spotted the gap between British boxer Hansen's punches and also landed a right back hand.
Petrov's backhand punch clearly hit Hansen's chin, and a dull sound of punches rang out in the ring, and the latter fell to the canvas in response.
In the first fight, the first shot of the two heavyweight fighters actually appeared to be knocked out, and the Bulgarian fighter Petrov, with his first punch, hit the British fighter Hansen with a backhand punch and knocked Hansen down.
Hansen looked like he had been hit hard by the punch, and when the referee stepped up to count the seconds for Hansen, he was still lying straight in the ring.
"Three!"
"Four!"
The referee's second count sounded, and Hansen, who was lying in the ring, was like an angry gorilla, his eyes were wide with anger, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up, but his body still did not move.
"Five!"
"Six!"
When the referee counted to "six" on the court, Hansen finally began to control his body and began to stand up from the ring.
"Seven!"
'Eight!'
Hansen was trying his best to get up from the ground.
"Nine!"
When the referee on the field counted the seconds to "nine", Hansen finally stood up straight, and with one more second, the referee on the field was about to announce the end of the game.
The referee on the field observed Hansen's state, and Hansen, who stood up from the ground in the counting time, was not in good shape, and at this time, the referee on the field could say that even if he directly terminated the game.
But after all, the game had just begun, and Hansen did stand up in the countdown, so the referee on the court finally decided to give Hansen a chance.
The referee motioned for the two fighters to continue.
Hansen clenched his fists to defend, and the Bulgarian petrov quickly rushed up and threw a big hook from his left and right hands.
Boom!
Petrov's first left hook landed.
Hansen clenched his fist tightly and stepped back, making no effective defensive moves, Petrov's left hook hit Hansen's right hand, and even then Hansen was still staggered and continued to retreat, and at this time, the audience could clearly see that Hansen's feet were still weak.
Boom!
Petrov's right hook also landed, which was heavier than the first left hook and hit Hansen's forehead as he retreated.
Hansen, who was already very weak, could no longer stand after being punched, and staggered and fell.
Seeing this, the referee directly waved his hand and directly terminated the game.
Fans at Wembley Stadium enjoyed a blitzkrieg between two not-so-important heavyweight giants that ended with Bulgarian fighter Petrov nearly instantaneously killing Britain's Hansen less than thirty seconds into the game.
Wang Hao watched the extremely fast heavyweight match in the lounge while doing the preparatory activities.
Judging from the past records of the two fighters, the strength of the two should actually not be much different, but the reason why the game ended so quickly, Wang Hao felt that it should be the carelessness of the British boxer Hansen, at the beginning of the game, it was obvious that the British boxer Hansen did not enter the state, and the movement and defense were very problematic, giving the Bulgarian boxer a very comfortable position to hit a right hand back hand heavy punch, and Hansen almost did not react after the opponent's punch.
In Wang's view, this is the reason why British fighter Hansen lost the fight so quickly.
The bout between the two heavyweight giants was followed by a ten-round bout of the IBF Super Middleweight European Intercontinental Champion Silver Belt, between a French fighter and a Hungarian fighter.
The older French man defended his IBF super middleweight belt, but in the end, the young Hungarian had the last laugh, with ten rounds of the bout going without a knockout, and the Hungarian won the bout by unanimous point decision.
After the second bout, it's time for tonight's lead card match, where reigning British WBC and WBO featherweight champion Nasim Hamed and challenger Soto will fight.
