Chapter 197: Top 16 Grouping

The Soviet Union is a boxing power, many of the republics under him, such as Ukraine and Russia, have a good boxing tradition and many excellent boxers, Kamenlev, as the national youth champion of the Soviet Union, although he will attach importance to the boxers of the United States, Cuba, and the United Kingdom, but he has never looked at even an Asian boxer.

But Wang Hao is an exception, a complete exception, a few months ago, also at the Ukrainian National Boxing Sports Center, Kamenlev, who came to visit, happened to meet Wang Hao knocked out the boxer of the Ukrainian national second team, which shocked Kamenlev.

The fact that a young Asian fighter was able to knock out an adult fighter from the Ukrainian national second team was beyond Kamenlev's expectations, and what happened next was even more than Kamenlev expected.

The Soviet-style boxing master Atoli Lomachenko, whom Kamenlev admires, turned out to be Wang Hao's best friend, and is trying his best to train Wang Hao, this kind of treatment, Kamenlev, as an all-Soviet youth champion, does not have.

This made Kamenlev jealous of Wang Hao, Kamenlev never expected this kind of emotion to appear in him, he would be jealous of an Asian boxer.

At the draw scene, Kamenlev looked at Wang Hao, with mixed feelings, Kamenlev is determined to win the championship of this competition, and he hopes to meet Wang Hao in this competition and try Wang Hao's true strength in the ring.

Kamenlev is confident that he can defeat Wang Hao, and if he can really compete with Wang Hao, he hopes to knock Wang Hao out and let Atoli Lomachenko know that it was a complete waste to spend time with an Asian fighter.

With a change of thought, Kamenlev turned his gaze away from Wang Hao and shifted his gaze to the American Golden Glove champion "White Dynamite" Gilvajes and the Cuban junior champion "Havana Ruffian" Latiz.

Compared with Wang Hao, Gilvajes and Latiz are the real opponents in the eyes of Kamenlev, in Carmenlev's view, Wang Hao is just a fledgling dark horse, although he can rush, but the extent is limited, and the skilled and experienced Gilvajes and Latiz are his real opponents.

In the Soviet Union, Kamenlev did not want this championship to fall into the hands of athletes from other countries, especially American fighters, and it would be a shame for Kamenlev to let the American Golden Glove champion win the World Junior Boxing Championship on Soviet soil.

He and Kurishenko will be tasked with sniping other country's fighters and keeping the final gold medal in the Soviet Union.

At the same time, the American Golden Glove champion "White Dynamite" Gilvajes, who was waiting for the draw, seemed to feel Kamenlev's attention and looked in Kamenlev's direction.

The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be a slight smell of gunpowder in the air.

Cuban junior champion "Havana ruffian" Latiz also looked at Carmenlev and Gilvajes, although the new rise Wang Hao surprised him a little, but Latiz, like Carmenlev and others, felt that Wang Hao would not go too far, and his real opponents were Carmenlev and Gilvajes.

Once all the fighters are in place, the draw will begin immediately.

Wang Hao stood in the middle of the sixteen fighters who were black or white fighters in front of him and behind him.

Sun Zeyong and Zhang Shuzheng also came to the scene today, waiting for the results of Wang Hao's draw.

All the fighters were drawn, and soon the draw results of the sixteen fighters in the final round came out.

Wang Hao looked at the display board, his game order.

Wang Hao's draw result is ranked in the eleventh position of all sixteen fighters, and his quarter-based boxers are No. 9 to No. 12, and among the other three fighters, there are no popular fighters such as Kamenlev, Gilvajes, Latiz, and Kurishenko.

The first fighter Wang Hao will face is a British fighter named Smith, who has the serial number 12.

Thinking that it was a British boxer, Wang Hao also frowned, he was harassed by a group of European and American boxers during training last night, because the British boxers were dressed too publicly, so Wang Hao also recognized that most of them were British boxers.

Among them, Wang Hao knew that the fighter who was knocked down by himself because of provoking himself was also a British boxer.

In Wang's quarter, the remaining two fighters are from Puerto Rico and one from New Zealand.

Puerto Rico is a small country in the Americas, but it has also produced many excellent boxers, and Wang Hao remembers that the famous middleweight champions Trinidad and Cuto in his last life were both from Puerto Rico.

And New Zealand has also produced some famous boxing champions, such as the most famous "Little Tyson" Tua.

When Wang Hao watched the boxing match in his last life, he always felt regretful, why Tyson and Tua didn't fight a match, the two have extremely similar technical styles, they are both physically strong as bulls, move quickly, and punch simply and roughly.

If Tyson and Tua fight, it will be a match like Mars hitting Earth, but it's a pity that the two haven't played each other, which is a pity.

The four fighters will go through two rounds of elimination to determine a place in the final four and advance to the final two rounds.

After reading his own grouping, Wang Hao looked at several other groupings.

Wang Hao first looked at the No. 1 to No. 4 fighters, and their group will also be the same as Wang Hao's No. 9 to No. 12 groups, through two rounds of elimination, to determine a place to enter the top four.

When Wang Hao looked at the grouping information of fighters from one to four, Wang Hao was surprised that the American Golden Glove Champion Gil Vajes and the Soviet National Junior Champion Kamenlev were both in this group, one of them was No. 1 and the other was No. 4.

In other words, if both of them can pass the first round, they will meet in the second round, and with the strength of the two, passing the first round is a very probable time.

That is to say, the two champions, the strongest fighters of the United States and the Soviet Union, will face each other in the second round in advance, and the showdown between the United States and the Soviet Union will be the most eye-catching match before the final semifinals.

Many spectators were also watching the draw results, and when they saw that Gilvajes and Kamenlev were in the same quarter, they decided to watch the match between the two.

After all, the United States and the Soviet Union are the two most powerful countries in the world, and they are also the two strongest boxing powers, and the match between the strongest young fighters in these two countries will be very interesting.

Wang Hao's goal is to win the World Junior Boxing Championships this year, and the winner of Kamenlev and Gilvajes will undoubtedly be Wang Hao's strongest opponent.

Wang Hao continued to look at the rest of the groupings, there are no four favorite boxers in groups 5 to 8, the four boxers are all from various boxing powers, and their strength is not weak, but they are a little worse than the strongest fighters such as Kamenlev, Latiz and Gilvajes.

Wang Hao continued to look at the last quarter group, the previous group Kamenlev and Gilvajes had come out, but Latiz and Kulishenko never appeared, and both of them were obviously in the last group of the serial number thirteen to sixteen.

Will the two of them meet in the first round?

Wang Hao looked at the grouping card with questions, and saw that Latiz's serial number was No. 14, and the Soviet Union's national youth runner-up and the strongest young boxer in Ukraine at present Kurishenko was ranked No. 15.

Wang Hao has this grouping information firmly in mind, so that Latiz and Kurishenko will not meet in the first round, but if both can make it through the first round, the two of them will also stage a high-level matchup in the second round.

Wang Hao carefully looked at the information of the other two fighters in the last quarter group, and the strength of the remaining two boxers is not bad, but the possibility of winning Latiz and Kurishenko is also very small, and the possibility of Latiz and Kurishenko meeting in the quarterfinals is very high.

Thus, in the quarterfinals, there will be two matches at the highest level, one against the all-American champion, and one against the Soviet runner-up, with the Cuban champion versus the Soviet runner-up.

Sun Zeyong stood beside Wang Hao, and also looked at the group information, although he was not a boxer, but he was even more nervous than Wang Hao, all the Asian boxers who came to participate in the three levels of this World Junior Boxing Championship, after the group round, except for Wang Hao, they were all eliminated.

Now Wang Hao is the last glory of all Asian boxers, if Wang Hao can continue this achievement and win a medal or even a championship in this World Junior Boxing Championship, it will create Chinese boxing history, and Wang Hao will become the first Chinese to win the world championship in junior boxing.

Sun Zeyong kept in mind that before coming to participate in this competition, the leaders of the National Sports Bureau and China Sports University gave him instructions, which was to create the best training and competition conditions for Wang Hao and strive for the best results.

Sun Zeyong admires the vision of the leaders very much, Wang Hao can indeed take on heavy responsibilities and support the façade of the Chinese team.

"According to the arrangement of the event, the semi-finals of the quarter-finals will not be held at the same time, and if all four can successfully enter the quarter-finals, the matches of Latiz, Kurishenko, and the matches with Kamenlev and Gilvajes will be staggered!" Sun Zeyong also said after reading the schedule.

Wang Hao nodded, he also knew that this arrangement was the most beneficial for Wang Hao, and naturally these two games could be watched.

Wang Hao will have to take a good look at the technical style of these four people through these two matches, and Wang Hao knows that if he makes it to the final four, his first opponent will be the winner of the match between Latiz and Kurishenko, and the importance and urgency of watching the two match is even more important and urgent than watching Kamenlev and Gilvajes fight.

"What you let me know about yesterday's training gym, I learned from several other teams!" Sun Zeyong continued.

Last night in the training hall, after Wang Hao knocked down the British boxer who provoked him, he left immediately, and what happened later, Wang Hao asked Sun Zeyong to understand.

Although Wang Hao is not afraid of those European and American fighters, it is better to be careful in everything, especially when he is about to play the top 16, Wang Hao does not want to encounter any unexpected situations.

Sun Zeyong was very angry and worried when he heard that Wang Hao was also attacked last night, but fortunately, Wang Hao was fine, Sun Zeyong reported this matter to the event organizer as soon as possible, and at the same time learned about what happened last night from several teams such as Japan and South Korea.

Sun Zeyong said to Wang Hao: "There is surprisingly no movement on the side of the Japanese and Korean boxing teams, as if nothing has happened, but I have learned privately that several of their fighters were beaten by a group of British and American fighters led by Gilvajes, mainly against Kim Sung-gwang, who was beaten the worst and went to the hospital. ”

"The cause of the incident should be that Kim Sung-gwang hit Gilvajes' brother Karvajes in violation of the rules in that game, and they are revenge! The European and American boxing teams should have been resolved through private contact, so there was no movement! ”

"I've asked the organizers of the tournament to change the gym for you, and you'll be training in the gyms of the Cuban and Puerto Rico boxing teams later, so I'll be a little bit more entrusted." Sun Zeyong continued.

Wang Hao nodded, he felt that Sun Zeyong's arrangement was quite secure, at this time, it was right to be careful.

At the same time, Wang Hao was also shocked by the forbearance of the Japanese and South Korean teams, the country's boxers were beaten so badly that they didn't dare to solve it through official channels and accepted the private.

There are still two days before the start of the top 16 competition, and in the past two days, Wang Hao has been training in the newly arranged training hall, which is larger than the training hall where Wang Hao was before, with six rings.

There are a lot of Cuban fighters and Puerto Rican fighters who train here, although the competition has entered the top 16 competition, and many fighters from many countries have gone home, but there are still many Cuban and Puerto Rican fighters who have entered the top 16, so many of them are still actively training here and preparing for the competition.

Among the six rings, one was specially set aside for Wang Hao to train, but only one fighter Wang Hao was allowed to train, and only a few people were allowed to accompany Wang Hao to train.

Wang Hao has been training here for the past two days, Zhang Shuzheng, Sun Zeyong, and another boxer in the Chinese team with a high weight class accompanied Wang Hao to train, helping Wang Hao prepare equipment, moving target training and massage.

The first day of training went well, Wang Hao trained late as usual, accompanied by Zhang Shuzheng and Sun Zeyong, and left after training.

The next day, Wang Hao also trained until almost eight o'clock, although tomorrow will be the game, but it is only a little shorter than the usual training time, Wang Hao left the training hall to go back to rest, Zhang Shuzheng and Sun Zeyong accompanied Wang Hao to the end, and left together.

On Wang Hao's inevitable road from the training hall to the hotel, nine British fighters were hiding in a dark corner, and one of them was Paul, who was broken in the jaw by Wang Hao's punch the day before yesterday.

He had a bandage around his head, wrapped around his head to his chin a few times, immobilizing his fractured jaw, and eight other British boxing hooligans were waiting here, including Wang Hao's opponent Smith tomorrow.

Naturally, their group came to besiege Wang Hao.
