Chapter 234: Knocking Out the Borg (1)
Coach Latitz's thoughts and views of Wang Hao are very different from those of Latiz himself, but he is also watching Wang Hao's fight in the ring with full attention and is lost in thought.
At the World Junior Boxing Championships more than two years ago, Wang Hao defeated two outstanding lightweight fighters from the Cuban team in a row, especially his most proud disciple Latiz, so that Latitz's coach also remembered Wang Hao deeply.
But the mentality of the coach and the fighter is different, the excellent fighter with a noble goal will deeply remember the fighter who defeated him, and have a complex mentality, until the revenge is successful, but for the coach, the purpose is more single, is to let his fighter achieve the best results.
The smoother the fight, the better, but when your own fighter faces a better fighter, the coach needs to use his energy to help his fighter win.
After the end of that World Junior Boxing Championship, Latiz's coach also went back to reflect deeply and helped Latiz make up for his technical shortcomings.
But Latitz's coach does not have the strong desire of Latiz to take revenge on Wang Hao, he hopes that Latiz will win the competition smoothly in this World Championships, win medals and even championships, and the draw and schedule of the competition will be more favorable to Latiz as much as possible.
Because as a boxing coach, his achievements are reflected in whether a fighter can win a medal or even a gold medal, not whether he can take revenge on a fighter.
So when Latiz's coach saw Wang Hao's strong performance in the first round of the game, after technical analysis, Latiz's coach expected that Latiz would better not meet Wang Hao in this competition, because it was still too dangerous.
Today, watching the match between Wang Hao and Borg, Latiz's coach hopes that Borg, a black Nigerian boxer, can perform extraordinarily, at least rely on a little sniping Wang Hao, and not let Wang Hao advance to the next round, so that when Latiz wins the second round, he does not have to face Wang Hao in the third round.
Although Wang Hao's current IPB 64kg ranking is only 23, and Borg is the 14th-ranked fighter, Latitz's coach, based on his rich experience, makes a judgment that he would like Latiz to face Borg in the next round, not Wang Hao, and Latitz's coach is even praying that Borg can win Wang Hao.
With the continuous attention of the audience, fighters and coaches, the match between Wang Hao and Borg gradually deepened, and the two became familiar with each other in the long-distance jab attack again and again.
Wang Hao is ready to go, and once he is familiar with the movement and punching rules of the lower Borg, he is ready to start switching to the strategy of hitting close range planned before the match.
And Borg is a little anxious, although he played according to his own game strategy, Wang Hao was controlled on the periphery, but he always felt that something was weird, and his hitting, almost no effect, Wang Hao can always be dexterously dodged, the game went on for almost a minute, Borg's only got a little, and at the same time Wang Hao also hit a clear heavy jab punch from Borg.
Therefore, although Borg was playing according to his coach's pre-game strategy, the effect was not as good as he expected, and he did not even gain a slight advantage, which made Borg both anxious and a little depressed.
Before the match, Borg's coach and his strategy were to rely on the reach advantage to play long distance, first strive for a point advantage, and if there is a chance, hit Wang Hao hard, and even look for a chance to finish the game by knockout.
Now the strategy is not going well, and Borg, who is a little anxious, is also thinking about whether it is time to change the style of play, he plans to play not exactly according to the strategy formulated by the coach before the game, and wants to play some strong attacks.
At this time, Wang Hao was almost familiar with Borg's movements and punches, and was ready to find an opportunity to break through and hit close range.
However, to Wang Hao's surprise, Borg suddenly moved at this time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Borg, who had been playing jabs with a few back hand, suddenly picked up speed and unleashed a series of straight punches with his left and right hands.
Straight punch with left hand! Straight punch with right hand! Straight punch with left hand!
Borg punches straight in a row!
Borg's sudden change also surprised Wang Hao slightly, but Wang Hao reacted quickly and immediately dived to dodge, Borg's first two straight punches were empty, and the last left straight punch hit Wang Hao's shoulder.
Wang got up and landed a jab that hit Borg in the face while moving forward.
Borg took Wang Hao's left jab hard, and did not switch to defensive mode or retreat, he saw Wang Hao move forward, and knew that Wang Hao had come to the distance where his small hook was unleashed.
The small hook of the left and right hands is a technique that Borg is good at, and he has a lot of power, and Borg is very confident.
Boom! Boom!
Borg quickly threw a small hook with his left hand and a small hook with his right hand, which was very fast and powerful, and hit Wang Hao.
However, Wang Hao's speed was faster, Wang Hao did not stop moving, he continued to move forward, and came to the front of Borg, Borg's two small swing punches hit Wang Hao's back of the head, and the huge blow force brought out a gust of wind.
Under the ring, the head coach of the Nigerian team was shocked when he saw Borg suddenly change his game strategy and play a strong attack.
In the first minute of the game, Borg played according to the game strategy formulated before the game, but it had no effect, and the head coach of the Nigerian team also saw it, but he couldn't do anything for a while, because Wang Hao's movement and dodging were unusually fast, and his reaction speed was very good.
So Borg's head coach was also thinking about what changes to make, and was ready to give Borgg some advice during the round break, but he didn't expect Borgg to be unable to hold his breath, so he moved first, started a strong attack, and put Wang Hao in his middle and close range.
In the eyes of the Borg manager, this is a mistake!
Wang Hao's arm span is not as good as Borg, but he is fast and powerful, and he is bound to give full play to these advantages at the middle and close distances, while Borg's arm span is bound to punch slower because of his long arm span, and Borg's head coach is instantly anxious.
He shouted, "Borg! Don't hit the short range! ”
However, Borg, who had already played a certain amount of anger, couldn't listen to the head coach's advice, and he didn't have time to listen to it, because Wang Hao, who came to the middle and close range, was also moved in an instant!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Because the two were too close at this time, almost head-to-head, Wang Hao couldn't hit the uppercut, so he hit three downward flat uppercuts, hitting Borg's ribs.
And at this distance, because of the long arm span, Wang Hao shrank in front of him, and he couldn't punch.
Right hand hook, left hand hook, right hook, Wang Hao's three consecutive hooks all hit Borg's two ribs, and these three punches are clear.
After being hit, Borg was shocked, he wanted to hit a strong attack to get a point, but he didn't expect to be hit by Wang Hao close and rely on his body to get three points.
Feeling the real pain caused by Wang Hao's two rib blows, Borg retreated sharply, wanting to distance himself so as not to be hit by Wang Hao's continuous body blows.
Just when Borg wanted to distance himself, Wang Hao, who had been waiting for an opportunity, moved.
Boom!
Wang Hao stepped on his feet and made a thunderous blow to the right uppercut, which hit Borg directly in the chin.
Wang Hao's punch grabbed Borg's retreating space, and the force was sufficient, and the blow was very heavy, and almost all the power poured on Borg's chin.
Normally, a boxer is going to fall to the ground when he gets Wang Hao's punch, but Borg is showing a very good ability to resist hits, after being hit by Wang Hao, he was stunned for a moment, and at the same time stumbled under his feet, but immediately reflexively hugged the boxer, and began to retreat at the same time.
Wang Hao didn't intend to let go of this opportunity, and followed up with a straight left hand that went through between Borg's two punches and hit Borg's face.
After the punch again, Borg's expression was painful, and he staggered and retreated, as if he wanted to lean against the edge of the rope and rely on the strength of the rope to support his body.
But at this time, Wang Hao punched again.
Boom!
Wang Hao unleashed a well-powered right hook that drew a beautiful arc and hit the root of Borg's left ear, and Borg could no longer control his body, lost his balance, and fell backwards.
One meter behind Borg was the rope, but it was still a little far away, and the fallen Borg couldn't support his body with the strength of the rope, so he landed on the rope with his upper body, bounced it, and then sat down in the ring.
In the match between Wang Hao and Nigerian fighter Borg, when the first round was a minute and a half, Wang Hao seized the gap caused by Borg's retreat, first wounded Borgg with a right uppercut, and then hit Borgg again with two consecutive punches, knocking out Borgg for the first time!
"Stop!" Seeing Borg fall to the ground, the referee from France shouted loudly, stood between Wang Hao and Borg at the same time, and began to count the seconds for Borg, while Wang Hao retreated to the opposite corner.
"Two!"
"Three!"
At this time, the spectators in the stands were also boiling.
In the first minute of the match, Wang Hao and Borg played very cautiously, without any waves, they thought that this match might be that both fighters were afraid of each other, so it would be boring.
But unexpectedly, the Nigerian fighter took the lead in breaking the silence, hitting straight punches and small hooks in a row, trying to hit Wang Hao hard, but he didn't expect the opportunity to hit Wang Hao, and let Wang Hao catch the flaw at close range and knock out Borg with three punches.
The instant knockdown made the audience at the scene addicted, especially the audience who had expectations for Wang Hao because they had watched Wang Hao's wonderful performance in the first game of the World Championships.
"Awesome!" They shouted loudly, "Wang Hao is too strong!" Knocked out a black fighter in Nigeria in the blink of an eye! ”
"From the first game, I saw that Wang Hao was extraordinary, and sure enough, this game did not disappoint, I am optimistic that Wang Hao's game is still the best in the second round!"
While the audience was excited and talking, the fighters and coaches who were watching the fight around the ring were also in different moods.
After Latiz saw Wang Hao knock down Borg with a few punches, as a boxer who has always dared to fight, his hesitant mentality began to become enthusiastic, Wang Hao is so strong, Latiz really wants to fight with Wang Hao again with full firepower, no matter what the result of the game is.
And Latitz's coach is brows have been twisted into a knot, Borg actually made a mistake, so that Latitz's coach is very disappointed, he expects Borg to stand up and continue to fight, not to make mistakes again, although the first round of this game Although Borg has no hope, but in the remaining two rounds, Borg still has a theoretical chance to win.
Latitz's coach very much hopes that Borg and his team will have a chance to reverse the game, because Latiz's coach really doesn't want Latiz to face Wang Hao again in the next round, which is terrible!
Latiz is very good, otherwise he would not have won the gold medal in the 60kg World Championships, this time he was promoted to the 64kg class to fight, and Latiz's coach is very confident that Latiz will deal with most fighters, in addition to Ichkov and Nagaev, as well as Wang Hao, who has already shown his super strength in the first fight.
"!" Seeing Borg fall to the ground, the head coach of the Nigerian team scolded bitterly.
In the eyes of the head coach of the Nigerian team, the reason why Borg was knocked down by Wang Hao was first to change the long-distance game strategy determined before the game, and then made a fatal mistake at close range.
In the eyes of the head coach of the Nigerian team, just at close range, after Borg was hit by Wang Hao's hook punch, choosing to retreat and open the distance is simply looking for death.
If you are facing a fighter with a slightly inferior technique or slower speed, there is no problem for Borg to do so, but Wang Hao has solid skills, and his speed and reaction are super fast, and his ability to grasp opportunities is also very strong.
The most important tactic that Borg should have adopted just now was to hold Wang Hao and make Wang Hao unable to punch, instead of pulling away from him.
Because when the distance is opened, the chin will be exposed to the hitting gap, although it is a momentary opportunity, but for Wang Hao, who has been prepared, it is ten times better to catch it, this is the difference between an excellent boxer and an ordinary boxer.
The head coach of the Nigerian team suppressed the anger in his heart, and at the moment he hoped that Borg could continue to play the game, as for Borg's unauthorized adjustment of the game strategy, the Nigerian head coach planned to wait until after the game to scold Borg, and even planned to punish Borg.
Borg, who was knocked down in the ring by Wang Hao, was also stunned at this time, he wanted to launch an offensive and gain a little advantage, but he didn't expect that not only did he not effectively hit Wang Hao, but was hit by Wang Hao continuously, and even knocked down.
At this time, Borg deeply understood that Wang Hao was far from the opponents he had faced before, Wang Hao was Ichkov, or even a fighter close to Hernandez's level.
The referee's countdown on the field rang in Borg's mind, like a loud bell on an empty plain.
"Five!"
"Six!"
Borg struggled to stand up, although he was knocked to the ground by several heavy blows from Wang Hao, but because Borg had a good ability to resist the blows, and at the beginning of the game, Borg's physical consumption was not large, so he could still continue to play.
When the referee counted to eight, Borg straightened up and signaled that he could continue playing.
After a brief inspection by the referee on the field, he signaled for the two to continue.
Wang Hao quickly walked up, first swinging his head to dodge Borg's front hand straight punch, and then a forward sliding step came to Borg's body, and quickly opened the bow with a left and right hand hook.
