Chapter 520: Boxing Magazine Annual Meeting (4)
After de la Hoya's speech, there was also a round of applause at the scene, which was a ceremonial applause and a round of applause for de la Hoya's statement.
Everyone knows that de la Hoya's desire for Wang Hao to stay in the welterweight division after his fight against Fernando Vargas is definitely not just a rhetoric, but a real expectation.
De La Hoya's undodging opponents and his penchant for challenging opponents has always been de la Hoya's style, and that's one reason fans love De La Hoya.
After de la Hoya finished his remarks, supporter Michael Buffay did not let de la Hoya go, but moved on to present another award for this year's boxing magazine event of the year.
Boxing magazines review each year, and the most important awards given to the best fights of the year are the best fights of the year and knockout of the year, and the most important awards given to fighters are Fighter of the Year and Young Talent of the Year.
Wang Hao won last year's Boxing Magazine New Talent of the Year award last year for two victories in the WBA super lightweight belt by defeating Chavez and the WBO super lightweight belt by defeating Camacho, which is only awarded to fighters who have just debuted professionally for less than two years.
Although Wang Hao did not win the best boxing match or the best fighter of the year this year, Wang Hao won the best knockout award for winning the super lightweight boxing champion unification battle with Costa Zu, and among all the annual awards of boxing magazines, the annual KO of Boxing Magazine is second only to the boxing magazine annual boxing match of the year and the best fighter of the year.
After handing out the Boxing Magazine Fight of the Year award, it was followed by the Boxing Magazine Knockout of the Year award.
At this time, Michael Buffel, a supporter on the scene, continued: "Ladies! Gentlemen! For professional boxing, the most intriguing moment is undoubtedly the knockout moment, especially the hearty knockout moment. There are a lot of big boxing fights and knockouts in a year, and the next award is boxing magazine's knockout of the year. ”
"Here's the winner of Boxing Magazine's Best Knockout of the Year award, the current champion of the four major ultra-lightweight boxing organizations WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF, 'Dragon Fist' Wang Hao!" The high-pitched voice of supporter Michael Buffay resounded at the scene.
At this time, the scene was also thunderous applause, almost all the boxing champions, famous boxers, and famous boxing coaches and other boxing professionals looked at Wang Hao who was sitting in the second row, and applauded warmly.
Many boxers are also talking about it.
"This is the second year in a row that Wang Hao has won the best award in boxing magazine, right?" Middleweight fighter Jeremien Taylor, who sat in the back row, said.
"Yes!" David Red, the current super welterweight champion who sat closer to Benjamin Taylor, said, "Last year, Wang Hao won the Newcomer of the Year award in boxing magazine. ”
"Wang Hao seems to have taken the stage to receive the best award of the year last year!" David Tua, a famous heavyweight boxer sitting in the middle of the side, also remembered that Wang Hao should have won the annual award of boxing magazine last year.
There were also many other boxing champions and fighters at the scene talking about Wang Hao winning the best award in boxing magazine for two consecutive years.
In the discussion, including Jeremy Taylor, David Red, David Tua and others, their eyes were also full of envy, it is not easy for a fighter to win the world boxing title once in his life, and it takes a lot of hard work.
For example, although David Tuah is very famous and world-renowned, and is known as "Little Tyson" because of his devastating style of play, he has still not won the World Champion title.
Achieving a World Champion title is not easy for fighters, and it is even more difficult to win an award that is only awarded once a year by boxing magazines.
After all, almost every professional boxer fights two to four fights a year, so many divisions and fighters, there are a lot of fights in a year, and boxing magazine's annual award only has a few awards, to win boxing magazine's annual award, it can be said that the competition is very fierce, and the difficulty is significantly more than winning the world boxing title.
The vast majority of boxers and even most professional boxing champions have no chance to win the annual award of boxing magazine in their boxing career, but Wang Hao, the ultra-lightweight boxing champion "Dragon Boxing" from Asia, can win the best award of boxing magazine for two consecutive years, which definitely makes these boxing champions and famous fighters here very envious.
In the eyes and applause of everyone at the scene, Wang Hao got up, first bowed slightly to everyone at the scene, and then walked to the podium.
"Wow!" When Wang Hao stood on the podium, supporter Michael Buffay also said passionately, "Welcome! The famous Mr. 'Dragon Boxing', because of your presence, the world of professional boxing will become more colorful. ”
Immediately afterward, supporter Michael Buffae continued: "Next, I invite Duran, one of the famous middleweight four-heavenly kings, to take the stage to present Wang Hao with the best knockout award of the year. ”
On one of the seats at the scene, a middle-aged man with a short stature and a suit stood up, first waved to everyone in the scene, and then walked quickly onto the podium with a smile on his face.
Although the middleweight four kings barely fight anymore, they are still often invited to attend boxing magazines' annual meetings because of their huge fame and deep memories of professional boxing in the 80s.
This year, the boxing champions and fighters and other boxing guests at the scene found that the middleweight four kings have been invited, and Hagler and Duran have taken the stage to present awards to De La Hoya and Wang Hao, which makes everyone see that boxing magazine has specially invited the middleweight four kings to give the best awards to this year's boxing magazine.
It is easy to understand everyone's imagination, because almost all the boxers who won the best awards this year hit the pan-middleweight, and after continuing the glorious middleweight boxing history in the eighties, the pan-middleweight division has ushered in a new glorious era, which is a more glorious era than the middleweight boxing in the eighties, starting with the four little kings of the middleweight division, Wang Hao, Costa Zu, Hopkins and other outstanding pan-middleweight boxers have emerged one after another, which is more glorious than the middleweight boxing in the eighties.
After Duran stepped on the podium, the first thing was to enthusiastically reach out and shake hands with Wang Hao for a long time, Wang Hao's rise has long been concerned by the middleweight four kings, including Duran, although he knows that as a double champion of the World Championships and the Olympic Games, it is almost inevitable that Wang Hao will gain a place in the professional boxing world, but Wang Hao's rise is so fast and strong that Du Lan and others are shocked.
When Wang Hao and Duran shook hands, the etiquette staff at the scene had already brought up the trophy for Boxing Magazine's best knockout of the year.
