Chapter 567: The chaotic scene of the press conference

Time flies quickly, three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the end of the year is coming, and the match between Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas is about to be staged.

Since it was first announced last year, this bout has received continuous attention and widespread anticipation from fans around the world.

The bout between Wang Hao, the current super-lightweight overlord and boxing champion of the four major boxing organizations, and Fernando Vargas, the four-year-old middleweight champion and current IBF super-welterweight champion, has become the most important, influential, and fan-watching match of the year.

Tens of millions of fans have been waiting for this bout to take place for a year.

The match was between two young undefeated kings.

Wang Hao has won all 14 of his career fights so far, winning all of them by knockout, while Fernando Vargas has won 19 professional fights so far, including knockout wins in 17 of them, with only Wright and Kwartet holding on for 12 rounds under Fernando Vargas's punches.

Therefore, the fight between Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas is not just a major match that has attracted much attention, but also a match between two undefeated kings, and the loser will taste the taste of defeat for the first time, and because of the extremely high knockout rate of the two fighters, there is a good chance that they will be knocked out of the ring.

Before the fight, all boxing observers, critics, media people, and famous boxing champions commented on this upcoming big battle on different occasions, thinking that Wang Hao or Fernando Vargas would basically win half of them, but everyone basically believed that the match between Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas would not be fought for 12 rounds, but would end the match in the form of a knockout.

In this match, if Fernando Vargas can win, he will likely become the most dazzling of the four middleweight kings, and can even sit alongside De La Hoya's influence, while Wang Hao will be considered the top fighter in the welterweight division, and the failure will hurt fans' expectations, and his influence in the boxing world will be difficult to expand or even decline.

And if Wang Hao can defeat Fernando Vargas to win this match, it proves that Wang Hao has successfully landed in the welterweight division and become one of the top fighters in the welterweight division, and his influence in the welterweight division will be on a par with the four little kings.

And if Fernando Vargas loses the match with Wang Hao, in addition to bringing the first loss of his career, Fernando Vargas's current career upward momentum in Zhongtian will also be curbed, and his market potential will be greatly reduced, and his influence among the middleweight four kings will not be as good as the other three.

Therefore, for both Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas, this is a game that cannot be lost.

In the three months following his match against Rubio, Wang Hao devoted himself to training for Fernando Vargas, while Sanchez and Paolo also devoted themselves to guiding Wang Hao in improving his technical details and gaining weight appropriately.

In the three months of training, Wang Hao basically completed it in Big Bear Mountain.

After three months of hard training, Wang Hao has a lot of offense in terms of the power of the left and right hand flat hooks, speed, and the concealment of punches.

And Fernando Vargas has not had a new match in the five months since he played against Quartet, and he has devoted himself to preparing for the match with Wang Hao, and even rarely appears in public, showing that Fernando Vargas and the team attach great importance to Wang Hao and this match.

On the night of the game, tickets for the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, although extremely expensive, were already sold out.

The game started at 7 p.m. on a Saturday night in Las Vegas, and Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas arrived in Las Vegas two days before the game.

Before the two arrived, sports reporters and fans from all over the world surrounded the hotel where Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas were staying, and Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas were given the opportunity to interview the two and some fan activities from the first moment of their arrival.

When Wang Hao arrived at the hotel, he was interviewed by the on-site media for more than an hour, and signed autographs for hundreds of fans at the scene.

The day before the game, Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas arrived at the press conference room at the MGM Grand Hotel, where they will hold their final press conference before the game and weigh them up before the game.

The press conference and weighing site were crowded with reporters on site, and the press conference hall of the MGM Grand Hotel, which covers several thousand square meters, was so crowded that it was even difficult to move around the scene.

Wang Hao's team, Wang Hao, head coach Sanchez, Paul and Rhine Boxing Club's agent William, a group of four people sat on the right side of the rostrum, and Fernando Vargas's team, including Fernando Vargas and Fernando Vargas head coach Smith, also sat on the left side of the rostrum.

The coaching teams of both sides were worried that Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas would clash at the scene, so they did not let the two sit next to each other, Wang Hao's head coach Sanchez and Fernando Vargas's head coach Smith sat on the far left and right of their respective teams, separating Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas.

The scene at the press conference was very enthusiastic, and reporters from various news media at the scene vied for limited opportunities to ask questions, and the order was very chaotic for a while.

Later, the host of the organizer maintained the order of the scene, and the teams of both sides of the competition selected media people in turn to ask questions.

The first to get the opportunity to ask questions was Wang Hao's team, and the host of the scene said at this time: "Please raise your hand to the media reporters who want to ask Mr. Wang Hao questions on the spot, and there will be Mr. Wang Hao or Mr. Wang Hao's coaching team to determine this opportunity to ask questions." ”

All the media reporters at the scene raised their hands.

Wang Hao looked around, and found a reporter from CCTV5 CCTV Sports Channel in the faces of Asian reporters at the scene, Wang Hao said directly: "Please send this CCTV sports reporter." ”

Reporters from other TV stations at the scene looked at the reporters who had been given the first opportunity to ask questions, and one saw the reporters of China Central Television, and the reporters of his TV station also helplessly complained that Wang Hao was a little biased.

CCTV5 came to cover the match between Wang Hao and Fernando Vargas, and the reporter was a young female reporter in a gray suit, whom Wang Hao had never seen before.

After the reporter got the first opportunity to ask a question, he also stood up immediately and asked with some flattery: "May I ask Mr. Wang Hao, as we all know, your match with Fernando Vargas is the biggest professional boxing match of the year, and it may also be the biggest fight of your career so far, or at least one of the biggest fights, can you tell us about your current state?" How prepared are you for the race and are you sure you will win it? ”

Wang Hao nodded and began to answer questions.

Tonight is the last weigh-in before the game, tomorrow night is the game time, Wang Hao at this time, naturally will show great strength in words, especially with Fernando Vargas has had a few conflicts before, it is expected that the other party will definitely say a lot of cruel words, rather than let the other party take the lead, Wang Hao feels that it is better to start with himself.

Wang Hao replied: "I'm in very good shape right now, very relaxed, just like when I usually train in my own training camp. ”

"I did some preparation for this fight, but I didn't really prepare a lot because against Fernando Vargas I didn't have to prepare for that long. I played my last fight three months ago, unlike Fernando Vargas, who hadn't played for almost half a year before today's fight! Obviously, in order to play me, Fernando Vargas needs to prepare a little bit more. ”

As soon as Wang Hao's speech came out, many media reporters at the scene also laughed, feeling that Wang Hao's speech was too funny, a very ordinary question, Wang Hao could also take the opportunity to satirize and belittle Fernando Vargas.

The Fernando Vargas team on the opposite side, after hearing Wang Hao's first speech, also showed some anger on their faces, and was ready to attack Wang Hao-for-tat when they were ready to speak.

Wang Hao continued: "As for my confidence in the fight, I can tell you that I am 100% confident that I will put on a textbook boxing match for all the fans tomorrow night, and tomorrow night's fight will not end in points, and after the fight, Fernando Vargas may go to the hospital or return to boxing school!" ”

"Thank you!" After Wang Hao answered, the reporter of the CCTV sports channel also expressed his gratitude, nodded and sat back.

Immediately after, the second opportunity to ask questions was given to Fernando Vargas's team to select the reporters who asked questions.

The host at the scene said: "Now please raise your hand if you want to interview Fernando Vargas's team!" ”

At the scene, almost all the TV reporters raised their hands.

This time, Fernando Vargas chose the reporter who asked the question, and Fernando Vargas chose the CNN sports reporter.

CNN's sports reporter, who is also a young female reporter with blond hair, stood up and asked, "Mr. Fernando Vargas, it's nice to have the opportunity to ask questions, my question is, tomorrow night, your opponent, Mr. Wang Hao, although he is a fighter who has been upgraded from the super lightweight division, but he has both strength, speed and skill, how are you going to fight this fight tomorrow night?" ”

Fernando Vargas said with a smile: "Actually, among the opponents I have fought in my career, there is no one who is not both power, speed and technique, Wang Hao is no more difficult than Wright, more than strength, no more than the traditional welterweight Quatai!" ”

Fernando Vargas continued: "Just now Wang Hao said that if he wants to send me to the hospital or boxing school, I can simply prepare a stretcher for Wang Hao's team, and I will beat Wang Hao in tomorrow's match, so that he can no longer stand in the ring." I watched Wang Hao's previous games, and it can be said that Wang Hao's technical system is simply full of holes, and I should be able to catch hundreds of Wang Hao's defensive holes every round. After the fight, Sanchez and Paul will lose their jobs because Wang Hao lost so badly that no fighter will be willing to take refuge in them. ”

"If you ask me how to play tomorrow night's game, I will tell you that I will do whatever I want, because Wang Hao and his coach are so bad, I can win this game casually!" Fernando Vargas continued to answer.

When Wang Hao answered the question, although he belittled Fernando Vargas, he did not mention Fernando Vargas's head coach Smith, but everyone did not expect that Fernando Vargas not only belittled Wang Hao, but also belittled Wang Hao's head coach Sanchez and Paul.

It seems that Fernando Vargas felt that attacking Wang Hao was not enough, and in order not to fall behind in words, Fernando Vargas also attacked Wang Hao's head coach together.

This statement made Sanchez and Paul also look angry, especially Sanchez, who was sitting next to Fernando Vargas's team, looked at Fernando Vargas with angry eyes, as if he wanted to go up and slap Fernando Vargas twice.

After Fernando Vargas answered the questions, it was Wang Hao's team's turn to choose reporters.

This time, Wang Hao chose a reporter from Sky Sports UK.

A Sky Sports reporter asked: "What do you think are your strengths and weaknesses in this game, and what are the weaknesses and strengths of your opponent Fernando Vargas?" ”

Wang Hao felt that it was more appropriate for the coaching team to answer this question, so he wanted Sanchez and Paul to make a gesture of please.

Sanchez was told by Fernando Vargas just now, and he also had anger to vent in his heart, he immediately said: "In my opinion, Fernando Vargas has no advantage over Wang Haolai at all, he is shorter, his arm span is shorter, and his skills are useless, Fernando Vargas and his coach are a bunch of fools and garbage, and their skills look like they have been eliminated for a hundred years!" ”

Rise!

Directly called garbage by Sanchez, Fernando Vargas and head coach Smith stood up directly, and Smith, who was sitting next to Sanchez, even wanted to make a move, he reached out to grab Sanchez's collar, but Sanchez dodged it.

Sanchez, Paul, and Wang Hao also stood up immediately, and the host team and field affairs at the scene immediately rushed to the rostrum to prevent the further development of the situation, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
