Chapter 510: Discussion about the opponent
Regarding Wang Hao's opponent in his first fight after being promoted to welterweight, Sanchez and Paul have discussed with Wang Hao many times and have helped Wang Hao find a total of four suitable potential opponents.
They are the current WBA welterweight boxing champion "Bazooka" Kwarthai, the former IBF super welterweight boxing champion "York Boy" Camppass, the former IBF middleweight boxing champion Marquis, and the extremely hot style of the young American boxer "Desperate Saburo" Gatti.
Among these four fighters, in terms of the technical style of the fighters and the excitement of the game, it is natural that "Desperate Saburo" Gatti is the most suitable for Wang Hao, but Gatti has no competition experience with Fernando Vargas.
Of the remaining three fighters, Quatai is about to face Fernando Vargas, while Camppass and Marquez have already been defeated by Fernando Vargas and lost the fight.
But among these three fighters, in the eyes of Paul and Sanchez, Quarthai, who is undefeated and almost maintains a 100% knockout rate, and Kampas, who has played more than 60 fights and only lost two fights, is a bit dangerous for Wang Hao, because after all, this is the first fight after Wang Hao's promotion, among which Kwarthai is the most dangerous, and Camppass is slightly inferior.
Therefore, after Paul and Sanchez discussed, they suggested that Wang Hao's first fight after landing in the welterweight division should first fight former IBF middleweight champion Marquis.
Marquis is also a defeated player under Fernando Vargas and a former champion, but he's a lot less dangerous than Campers and especially Quartet.
If Wang Hao gets a smooth victory over Marquis and has time to fight a welterweight bout before his fight against Fernando Vargas, Sanchez and Paul feel that it would be appropriate for Wang Hao to choose a fighter like Campas for his second fight in the welterweight division.
Originally, Sanchez and Paul wanted to communicate with Wang Hao in the next few days, but today William came and asked, and the two also communicated with Wang Hao in advance.
However, the two did not expect that although Wang Hao felt that the four opponents chosen by Sanchez and Paul could be said to be very meticulous, Wang Hao was not willing to land in the welterweight division for the first time to fight Marquis, Wang Hao wanted to fight a stronger and more famous fighter.
Wang Hao set the goal of his first bout on former IBF super welterweight champion American boxer "York Boy" Camppass, and decided to fight Camppass in his first fight after landing in the welterweight division.
And Fernando Vargas' IBF super welterweight title was taken from Campas, and it was a high-profile bout this year when Fernando Vargas finished Camppass in the seventh round.
Despite his age, Campas is still very strong, and he has only lost two of his more than 60 games, both of which were lost to Trinidad and Fernando Vargas, one of the four kings, which shows the strength of Kampas.
Moreover, Camppass has considerable influence and popularity in the United States, and it can be seen from his nickname "York Boy" that American fans love him.
It can be said that Campas is the equivalent of the ultra-lightweight Chavez or Camacho fighters, and is a veteran boxing champion with great popularity.
Wang Hao wants to beat Campas and has the heart to finish Campas faster than Fernando Vargas.
When they heard that Wang Hao decided to choose Camppass first, Sanchez and Paul were a little surprised, because in their opinion, Camppass is very experienced, although he is a little older, but he is in good shape, and Wang Hao has to take a considerable risk to fight Camppass in the first match of the welterweight division.
"Do you want to stop thinking about it?" "Although Campas is a little older, his form has barely declined, he can be as sharp as a young fighter in his twenties in the ring, and he is too experienced, and he has always played most of his fights in the welterweight division and above, and Camppass has a good understanding of how to play better with a weight like welterweight." ”
"So, we don't feel like Camppass is the ideal opponent for your first fight in welterweight." Paul continued.
At this time, Sanchez also added: "After all, it's the first time to fight in the welterweight division, so it's better to be cautious." ”
Hearing the persuasion of Paul and Sanchez, Wang Hao said with a smile: "Marquis's reputation is really not high, I think Campaz is a suitable opponent, and he has fought with Trinidad and Fernando Vargas, although he has a lot of experience, but the technical style is relatively simple, I don't think there is a problem to deal with him." ”
Hearing what Wang Hao said, Paul and Sanchez glanced at each other, because of Wang Hao's strength and influence, although Paul and Sanchez are Wang Hao's head coaches, many things are decided after discussing with Wang Hao, and they will not let Wang Hao do it because they feel that their method is right.
Moreover, in the previous cooperation, Wang Hao also showed a lot of his uniqueness, which Paul and Sanchez couldn't understand at first, but it turned out to be very correct.
For example, before the match with Costa Zu, Wang Hao chose Phillips to be a sparring partner for him, which opened the eyes of Sanchez and Paul at that time.
As well-known senior coaches, Sanchez and Paul have naturally guided a lot of fighters to upgrade and prepare, according to past experience, the probability of winning is quite low to choose a first-class fighter of a higher level in the first fight after promotion.
In terms of stability, they generally choose a fighter with more average strength, but because of Wang Hao's own super strength, Sanchez and Paul feel that Wang Hao can first beat Marquis after being upgraded, such a former average level boxing champion, and he is also a quasi-first-class boxer in the welterweight division.
But Campas, as a former boxing champion who fought more than 60 fights and only lost to Trinidad and Fernando Vargas, is undoubtedly a first-class fighter, so Sanchez and Paul do not recommend that Wang Hao choose Camppass in the first fight.
However, Paul and Sanchez naturally saw that Wang Hao's meaning was still relatively firm, and Sanchez and Paul were also hesitant.
At this time, William, who had been listening to the side, said, "That's it! I'll talk to both Campaz and Marquis' agents about who to choose for the first match in the final middleweight division, and see how prepared and the results of the business negotiations will be. In my opinion, although I also think that Kampas is not an easy fighter to beat, Wang Hao wants to fight Kampas, and I still support it. ”
William also made his attitude clear.
Since everyone's opinions are temporarily inconsistent, Wang Hao, Sanchez and Paul also temporarily accepted William's suggestion.
"That's right! With January just around the corner, it's time for boxing magazine's annual competitions to be announced. William continued.
