Chapter 305: The Second Game and the Opponent

After the last match with Polish boxer Edinson Cavani, Wang Hao waited for the next match and opponent arranged by the club.

After more than half a month, there was finally news, and Wang Hao also listened carefully to Paul's introduction.

The new opponent introduced by William and Paul to Wang Hao is a German, who undoubtedly has more influence in Germany than the Polish fighter Cavani, and the new opponent German boxer Botzman is ranked much higher in the WBA than the previous Polish fighter Cavani.

Poland's Cavani is ranked 36th in the WBA, while German boxer Bockmann is ranked 19th in the World Boxing Association WBA, making him a top-20 fighter, and Botsman has a lot more experience than Poland's Cavani.

The Polish fighter Cavani had only fought nine fights before the fight against Wang Hao, while the German fighter Bozmann had fought 23 fights, and the competition experience was much more than 80 percent, and the knockout rate of the victories exceeded 50 percent.

However, Wang Hao still knows more about his next opponent.

Wang Hao asked, "How is Botsman's style of play?" ”

Paul said: "This fighter has a lot of experience in the game, and his style of play is more versatile, and he generally fights stronger fighters who are not as strong as him, but he is more obscene when he fights fighters who are stronger than him. ”

Wang Hao listened to Paul's description and felt that Botsmann was still not an ideal candidate, although it was enough in terms of Botsman's game results, influence in Germany, and record and game experience.

But Botsman's style of play doesn't sound like an attacking one, and early in his career, Wang wanted to make the game more intense and confrontational to attract more spectators.

Wang's goal is to become a pan-middleweight hegemon, and Wang Hao wants to be the destroyer-style hegemon and champion of Golovkin and Kovaliv rather than the oily style of Hopkins and Ward.

Wang Hao asked, "Are there any other suitable fighters?" ”

"And one more fighter!" Paul replied, "This fighter is also a German fighter, and he is a little stronger than Botsmann. ”

"German fighter Scherf, strong physique, tough play, currently 23 years old, has been fighting professionally for four years, 14 wins in 15 fights, 13 of which are knockout wins, only one fight is lost by points, he has not been knocked down by another fighter in a professional fight, and most of all his victories have come in the first half of the fight."

Paul introduces another German fighter, Scherf.

"Scherf is ranked 15th in the World Boxing Association WBA, a little higher than Botsmann, and is younger, stronger, and has a slightly better influence in Germany than Botsmann."

"However, I would personally recommend that you choose Botsman as your opponent for your next fight, Scherf is too strong to take him down, and he has a lot of punches that could cause substantial damage to your body." Paul speaks of his opinion.

For Paul's concern, Wang Hao can naturally understand that many fighters in the early stage of their careers, too advocating offense, relying on the advantages of their bodies and the consumption of opponents, and after a few fierce fights, their bodies will be quickly depleted, not as sharp as before.

Worrying that Wang Hao would choose too strong fighters and bring too much consumption to his body too early, or even leave injuries behind, was Paul's main concern.

Wang Hao replied: "It's better to choose Scherf, I hope to be able to play the game as exciting as possible, Scherf is an opponent who can set off a fierce battle, you help me find more Scherf's game videos, I will spend more time studying Scherf's playing style and technical habits." ”

Paul nodded, Paul naturally knew that Wang Hao wanted to play a wonderful game very much, since Wang Hao decided to choose Sherf, Paul would not say more, he would help Wang Hao find the video of Sherf's recent games, and assist Wang Hao to analyze and formulate tactics together.

Once the opponent was decided, Willian quickly showed his excellent ability to organise and promote the match.

The match between Wang Hao and Scherf was finally arranged to be held at the 12,000-seat indoor sports center in Hamburg, Germany, and Wang Hao will appear as the most important mat match.

The main event of the day will be a World Champion bout, and the famous British WBO featherweight champion Nassim Hamed will face American fighter Kevin Kelly to defend the World Boxing Organization WBO featherweight belt.

The competition will be held in two months, and after the time and arrangement of the competition are determined, Wang Hao will devote himself to intense and fulfilling training and preparation, and William is also in full swing to promote Wang Hao's game.

In the process of preparing for the competition, Wang Hao first strengthened his physical fitness and resistance to hitting training.

The fight against Sherf will be an eight-round bout, and Scherf is physically strong and has never been knocked down by another fighter, and although Wang Hao has set his sights on finishing Scherf in three rounds, he must also be prepared for the fight after four rounds.

And Scheff's fist power is very large, and the winning game has an almost 100% knockdown rate, although Wang Hao's strategy is to try to make Scherf hit as little as possible, or even hit himself, but the game is long, any accident can happen, Wang Hao must be ready to withstand the opponent's heavy punch.

Therefore, Wang Hao still puts physical training and resistance training in the first place.

Then the rest of the time, Wang Hao spent a lot of time watching the video of Scherf's game, and asked Paul to collect some of Scherf's physical data.

By watching the videos of Sherf's recent games, Wang Hao found that Sherf is indeed a monster in terms of physical strength and hardness.

Scherf's last few fights have been knockouts in four rounds, and Scherf continued to put pressure on his opponent until he couldn't hold it up.

In the process, although Scherf was often caught by his opponent and hit heavy punches, Scherf relied on his extraordinary ability to resist strikes and carried them all.

Obviously, the average fighter's strength is hard to shake Scherf.

After watching the video of Sherf's game, Wang Hao's evaluation of Scherf is that he is physically strong, has comprehensive skills, and has no obvious loopholes, but is not delicate enough.

Immediately after, Wang Hao also received the physical data of Scherf that Paul helped collect.

The German boxer Scherf is 1.74 meters tall and has an arm span of 1.76 meters.

From this data, Wang Hao found that the arm span of the German boxer Scherf was shorter than his own, and it was from the German boxer Scherf

In the game video, Wang Hao also saw that Scherf's arm span was indeed not long, only comparable to his height.

Scheffer's arm span is eight centimeters shorter than Wang Hao's, which is a big advantage for Wang Hao.

With an eight-centimeter arm span advantage, it means that Wang Hao can hit Scherf in advance when Scherf can't hit his own distance.

And the two of them punched at the same time, and when the speed was fast enough, Wang Hao could hit Scherf first.

Paul, the head coach of the Rhine Boxing Club, has also watched the video of the German boxer Scherf many times, and assisted Wang Hao in formulating the game strategy according to the technical characteristics of Scheffer.

The German fighter Schulf is technically solid in both long-distance and close-range fights, and he can fight more destructively.

The disadvantage of Scherf compared to Wang Hao, in addition to the arm span, is that the technical delicacy is not enough, and the speed is not as fast as Wang Hao, and the movement is not as good as Wang Hao.

Wang Hao and Paul exchanged and discussed many times, and finally developed two sets of strategies, one strategy is to use Wang Hao's reach advantage to control Scherf, which requires Wang Hao to play more heavy jabs and move more, if in the first few rounds, Scherf can be greatly consumed by jabs, Wang Hao will seek a chance to knock out Scherf in the later rounds.

The second set of strategies is used when Wang Hao's first strategy cannot control Sherf, if Sherf can dodge or carry Wang Hao's heavy punches and hit close range, Wang Hao needs to rely on his flexible dodging skills to attack Scherf at close range.

Wang Hao and Paul found that Scherf's defense and avoidance skills were not good, especially when attacking at close range, Scherf's first few games were almost standing firm and exchanging punches with his opponent.

Because the opponent in the previous few games, the strength and resistance are obviously inferior to Sherf, and technically he is also equal to Sherf, or even inferior to Sherf, so Sherf can rely on the advantage of body and strength to destroy the opponent, but if you meet an opponent with comprehensive skills, especially an opponent with good defensive skills, Sherf's efficiency against is not so high.

Therefore, Wang Hao and Paul determined the game strategy, which is to focus on long-distance control of consumption, plus close-range attacks, and strive to maximize Wang Hao's advantage and limit the advantage of German boxer Schellf as much as possible.

Of course, if Wang Hao lets go of the attack with Sherf, it is also a way of playing, but this style of play hurts a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, which is definitely not a smart way to play, Wang Hao's goal is to bring as little damage to himself as possible on the premise of destroying the opponent.

The strategy was determined, and with the assistance of Paul, Wang Hao also began technical training, mainly some offensive technical details and reinforcement and optimization of movement.

At the same time, Wang Hao also strengthened strength training to make his heavy punches more lethal.

Time passed quickly, and a month before the start of the fight, Paul found two fighters for Wang Hao who were similar to Scherf in terms of style and style, and fought a few fights with Wang Hao.

Wang Hao's preparation for the competition can be described as very sufficient, except for going to Munich every weekend to accompany Huang Yueying, the rest of the time, Wang Hao is placed in the gym.

Soon it was time for Wang Hao to fight against German fighter Schulf, and the four fights, including Wang Hao's fight, were still scheduled for the evening.

William promoted the fights as "Hamburg Boxing Nights."

The venue for this competition was larger than Wang Hao's last game in Stuttgart, and there were many spectators at the scene, and the stadium's total of 12,000 tickets were almost sold out.

According to William to Wang Hao, the tickets for this match sold well, although there is a reason why the British WBO featherweight champion Nasim Hamad is a star fighter, but there are also many viewers who come to see Wang Hao's game, many of which are viewers who have watched Wang Hao's game in Stuttgart, which shows that Wang Hao has a certain fame and fan base in Germany.

On the one hand, it is because of Wang Hao's wonderful performance in the last game, as well as the aura of dazzling results in amateur boxing, and on the other hand, it is naturally because of William's experienced publicity, in fact, William's propaganda of Wang Hao has gradually spread from Germany to the whole of Europe.

This time, Wang Hao was specially arranged to play the main mat match for Naseem Hamad, which was carefully arranged by William in order to expand Wang Hao's influence, which can allow Wang Hao to appear in the eyes of British fans, and if Wang Hao's performance is wonderful enough, it will establish a certain influence in the hearts of British fans.

"Hamburg Boxing Night" has a total of four matches, the main event is naturally British WBO featherweight champion Nassim Hamed, to meet the challenge of British boxer Kevin Kelly, the fight to defend the title, Wang Hao and German fighter Scherf as the main mat match, starting before the main event.

The first two fights were a four-round heavyweight bout and a six-round super middleweight bout.

The fighters in these two fights are either newcomers or veterans who don't have a high win rate.

When Wang Hao was preparing in the lounge, the first two games started first.

The first four-round heavyweight bout, which preceded a Polish fighter and an Italian fighter, was fought for four rounds, and although there were knockouts along the way, the overall bout was not too intense and the technical content was not high.

In the end, the Polish fighter relied on the advantage established by knocking out the Italian fighter with cold punches in the second round to win the bout by points.

The second six-round super middleweight bout was between a native German fighter and a fighter from Turkmenistan, Central Asia, and the two fighters ended up in a tie after six rounds.

Finally, in the third match, Wang Hao's match with German boxer Scherf began.

The lights and music changed at the scene, and as the host's voice sounded, the German fighter Scherf entered first.

In professional competitions, it is generally the important fighters who come out later, and if it is a boxing challenge, the challenger comes first and the boxing champion comes later.

Although the German boxer Scherf has fought more professional competitions and has achieved good results so far, Wang Hao has amateur boxing Olympic and World Championship championship results after all, and in terms of worldwide influence, Wang Hao is much higher than Scherf, so Wang Hao has appeared.

"German fighter Scherf, 23 years old, has won 15 of his 16 fights in his career, 14 of which are won by knockouts, and the knockout rate is close to 100%!"

With the introduction of the host of the scene, the German fighter Scherf slowly walked down the aisle and stood on the ring.

As a local fighter with good results, it is clear that Scherf also has a good influence, and when he appeared, there were many spectators cheering for him.

After Scherf's appearance, the live music became even more grandiose.

"Next, we welcome Wang Hao, the Olympic and World Champion from China! Professional record: One fight win, one knockout. ”
