Chapter 487: Light Night Boxing (10)

The host, Kelman, spent a long time chatting with Wang Hao with great interest, talking about how Wang Hao entered the field of boxing, the coaching situation, and the journey of amateur boxing and professional boxing.

Catherman spent more time chatting with Wang Hao than he spent with de la Hoya and Trinidad.

Finally, Catherman finished talking to Wang Hao and turned to Fernando Vargas.

Fernando Vargas sat last from right to left, the last to be interviewed.

Unlike Trinidade, who is a black American boxing champion, Wang Hao is a yellow Asian boxing champion, and Moseley is a black American boxing champion, Fernando Vargas is a typical white American boxing champion.

Moreover, his boxing skills are distinctive, his boxing is very brave, the knockdown rate is extremely high, and his personality is also as unruly as fire.

Katherman first asked, "Hi! The IBF super welterweight champion, Mr. Fernando Vargas, and Wang Hao, the boxing champion of the four major ultra-lightweight boxing organizations here today, as well as the WBA super welterweight champion David Red, and many of the best boxers in professional boxing today, you also entered the professional world after the Atlanta Olympics. ”

"As a fighter of the U.S. boxing team, you should have participated in the 67kg competition at the Atlanta Olympics, and you were also expected to have high hopes at that time, but the competition only went to the second round, and there were some accidents, can you tell us a little bit about the situation at that time?" Catherman said.

"I was in the second round of the 67kg Olympics and I was facing a Romanian fighter named Marian Simon, and the fight was very tight and close, and the fight was awarded to Romanian fighter Marian Simon. At that time I felt that my victory was stolen, and although the advantage was not obvious, I felt that I was still on the winning side. ”

Even if I don't like Katherman's question very much, and Katherman put Wang Hao and David Red together with him when he asked, and Wang Hao and David Red have both won Olympic championships, although Katherman is just an analogy that everyone has played in the Olympics, but Fernando Vargas, who is still a little unhappy about the Olympics itself, Kasserman's way of asking this time made the rebellious Fernando Vargas a little dissatisfied, but this is only a slight displeasure, Fernando Vargas. Vargas didn't show it, and he still answered Catherman's questions methodically.

"You argued with the referee?" Katherman asked.

"Yes!" Fernando Vargas replied, "I thought the scoring was unfair, and as a result, they just disqualified me!" ”

Katherman smiled, "It doesn't hurt, it looks like it's all the same." ”

Fernando Vargas also shrugged his shoulders and smiled awkwardly.

"Next question!" Katherman also sensed that Fernando Vargas didn't like to talk about the Olympics very much, so he continued to change the question, "No matter what, your amateur record is still very brilliant, you have only lost five of your 100 amateur matches, and you are still the All-American Golden Glove Champion and the World Junior Boxing Championship!" ”

Fernando Vargas shrugged his shoulders again, and once again showed a smile that seemed to be a smile, but in his heart, he said in his heart, only five of the hundred amateur fights he lost, although it was an excellent result, but today is not to mention it, after all, there is a fighter who has never lost in one hundred and sixty-seven amateur matches sitting next to him.

Fernando Vargas felt a little bit that Catherman was getting less and less informed.

Catherman read Fernando Vargas's expression and said with a smile: "Let's talk about your experience from amateur boxing to professional boxing, I heard that when you first wanted to enter professional boxing, you encountered an injury, but you overcame it with tenacious perseverance?" ”

Fernando Vargas had a smile on his face, and he secretly said in his heart that Catherman had finally begun to go to the road.

"I was going to go professional in December '96, but I injured my right hand in training at that time, and in order to turn to the professional game as soon as possible, with the support of my coach, I used very cruel physical therapy, and I recovered from the injury of my right hand in five months and entered the professional game."

Katherman nodded, held out his thumb and said, "We can really feel your courage!" Now for the pros, you're known to the fans as 'The Brave,' and I don't think that's a nickname for nothing. I've taken a look at your professional record, you've fought 17 fights so far, and only the last fight against 'Blue Collar Champion' Wright was a full 12 rounds so far, and the previous fights were all finished by knockouts, including quite a few former world champions, and you fought seven rounds in the fifteenth fight. The Yorkie boy's got out of the ring and became the IBF Super Welterweight World Champion, when you were just twenty-one years old and you were the youngest super welterweight champion in the world so far. ”

The smile on Fernando Vargas's face became brighter and brighter, and he listened to Catherman's introduction, and his heart blossomed, Katherman, you are getting more and more upright.

"And more than half of the sixteen knockouts you've fought have ended in the first two rounds. You deserve the title of 'Brave'. Katherman continued.

Fernando Vargas was even happier in his heart, and said secretly, That's it, Catherman, it's good that you can continue on this path of preaching my brilliant achievements, I appreciate it.

While his heart blossomed, Fernando Vargas also replied: "Since I was an amateur boxer, I didn't like muddy fights, and my goal in the ring was to knock out my opponent, not fight them for 12 rounds. ”

Wang Hao listened to the narration of Fernando Vargas and Catherman, although Wang Hao, who has the memory of two lives, also has a good understanding of Fernando Vargas's achievements, but after the current exchange, Wang Hao still has some new understanding of Fernando Vargas.

Fernando Vargas did play very aggressively in his early fights, and his attack was very strong, especially in the first six rounds, when he had few opponents and could survive six rounds under Fernando Vargas's strikes.

This left Fernando Vargas without playing 12 rounds in his early dozen matches, and Wang Hao felt that this may also have laid a hidden danger for Fernando Vargas's later defeats against Trinidad and de la Hoya.

Fernando Vargas and Trinidad de la Hoya were knocked out of the ring, although before the fight, even most fans and observers thought that Fernando Vargas would win these two fights, and even when de la Hoya agreed to fight Fernando Vargas, many ring watchers thought that de la Hoya was courageous, but Fernando Vargas was knocked out by Trinidad and de la Hoya when he was very late in the fight.

Against Trinidad, Fernando Vargas was knocked out in the twelfth round, and against de la Hoya, Fernando Vargas was knocked out in the eleventh round.

In the previous round, Fernando Vargas had the advantage in points, at least not behind.

If Fernando Vargas is physically able to fight to twelve rounds like Trinidad and De La Hoya, as well as the state of the first six rounds, then Fernando Vargas can win these two big fights, so, in Wang Hao's view, the knockdown rate in the early games is too high, and they all end the games early, which does lay a hidden danger for Fernando Vargas's subsequent defeat when he encounters a short-term defeat that is difficult to defeat.

These prematurely ended victories left Fernando Vargas a little lax in his fitness management, which is not a problem against the average strongman, but when facing the top fighters of the middle weight division, such as Trinidade, De La Hoya, and Moseley, Fernando Vargas, who is relatively less disciplined and lacks physical reserves, will be in very big trouble.

When introducing Fernando Vargas's current record, in addition to Wang Hao and Hopkins, several welterweight and super welterweight champions also felt the pressure brought by Fernando Vargas's strength.

Fernando Vargas's last three fights have all faced strong opponents, including former WBC welterweight and former IBF super welterweight champion "York Boy" Campaz, former IBF middleweight champion Marquis, and the powerful "Blue Collar Champion" Wright, but Fernando Vargas has all won the bout beautifully, especially knocking both Camppass and Marquis out of the ring.

The champions of De La Hoya, Moseley, Trinidad, David Reid and Forrester in the room asked themselves how difficult it would be for them to guarantee victory if they fought the likes of Campas, Marcus and Wright in a few consecutive fights.

Wright, in particular, is a very skilled fighter who is difficult to greasy, and several of the champions in the room are a little surprised by what Fernando Vargas has achieved.

At this time, Fernando Vargas is even the most formidable opponent in the eyes of these kings, and he poses a greater threat to himself than the rest of the middleweight four.

has the experience of the previous life, and knows that the four little kings fought down, and the last one in the ranking is Wang Hao of Fernando Vargas, and at this time, he calmly looked at the other boxing champions present when they looked at Fernando Vargas, with an expression of facing a great enemy.

Wang Hao knew that at this time, these fighters had no idea whether they could defeat Fernando Vargas, and it was not until the tough Trinidad defeated Fernando Vargas for the first time that there was a victory over De la Hoya and Moseley.

Trinidade's victory against Fernando Vargas opened their eyes to Fernando Vargas's fitness problems, as well as some technical flaws that were not easy to spot.

Of course, Wang Hao knew that although Trinidad and Fernando Vargas later fought and knocked out Fernando Vargas in the twelfth round and got promoted, in the middle of the match, Trinidad was very passive for a while, especially in the third to fifth rounds, Trinidad was almost knocked out of the ring by Fernando Vargas.

The anxious Trinidad even hit too low many times, hitting the part below Fernando Vargas's belt, and was even deducted points by the referee on the court many times, which shows that even Trinidad, who defeated Fernando Vargas for the first time, was actually very nervous when playing against Fernando Vargas, although he was determined, but Trinidad was not sure of winning.

In fact, at the height of Fernando Vargas, any fighter who fought Fernando Vargas would have been a match that would not have been more than five or five open, including De La Hoya, Trinidad, Moseley, Quatay, Wright, Forrester and other top welterweight and super welterweight fighters at the time, but once the fight against Fernando Vargas had passed six or seven rounds, the balance of victory began to shift significantly in Fernando Vargas's favor.

When Wang Hao chatted with Fernando Vargas in Katherman, he also thought that if he fought the undefeated middleweight Shijo Heavenly King in the future, Wang Hao would also choose Fernando Vargas first.

Because Wang Hao, who has experience in the previous life, knows the most about Fernando Vargas's weaknesses, and in the previous life, the matches between Trinidad, de la Hoya, Moseley and Fernando Vargas provided Wang Hao with valuable experience, and Fernando Vargas still has a physical disadvantage in the second half of the race.

It's just that at this time, these games haven't happened yet, so only Wang Hao knows these secrets.

Wang Hao thought that at this time, the other people in the middleweight four little kings still have an obvious awe of Fernando Vargas, when he first chose Fernando Vargas as his opponent, and used the understanding of Fernando Vargas's weaknesses accumulated from watching the game in the previous life, after defeating Fernando Vargas, the other people in the middleweight four little kings will definitely have obvious awe of themselves, which will make Wang Hao face Trinidad, de la Hoya and Moseley. Get some psychological advantages.

"Plus!" Katherman continued to say to Fernando Vargas, "I've heard that you've become the favorite for this year's boxing magazine Fighter of the Year with your last three great victories. ”

Fernando Vargas showed a bright smile again, this matter, Fernando Vargas also heard about it, boxing magazine best fighter of the year, every year all professional boxers in the world only have one, this can be said to be one of the biggest professional honors of fighters, Katherman mentioned this matter, so that Fernando Vargas is also very happy.

After chatting with Fernando Vargas, the second round of interviews ended, and then the host Katherman turned to Hopkins and asked the next question: "Now I want to ask you the same question, that is, in the current boxing world, who do you want to fight the most and why?" ”

"Let's ask this question to IBF and WBC middleweight champion Hopkins first!" Katherman smiled and asked Hopkins, who was sitting on the far right.
