Chapter 424: The Second Match
In the first match, the Saudi middleweight fighter who was fighting at home was knocked out by the Kazakh fighter in two rounds, much to the disappointment of the Middle Eastern fans on the scene.
There are also a lot of sports fans in the Middle East who like boxing, and many of them also belong to the wealthy class, and there are almost 20,000 such Middle Eastern fans watching tonight.
The organizers arranged the first match to have a rare Middle Eastern fighter on the field, also to cater to these wealthy Middle Eastern audiences, but the Saudi fighter is indeed limited in strength, and the result of being knocked out of the ring in the second round disappointed these Middle Eastern fans at the scene.
"Idiot!"
"Fight like!"
"I knew I couldn't hope for this guy!"
The Saudi fans at the scene also scolded.
After the first WBO middleweight Asian continental title bout between Saudi fighters and Kazakh stajans, the second heavyweight bout followed.
The bout was between a white fighter from Poland and a black fighter from the United States.
Although Poland is not a boxing powerhouse, because it is located in the heart of Europe, it sometimes produces one or two excellent boxers, and basically all of them are heavyweight boxers, the most famous of which is naturally the "Polish bad boy" Golotta.
Gorotta had a good chance of defeating Riddick Bow to win the World Heavyweight Title, but Golotta, who was impatient and too anxious in his mentality, lost both fights because he hit too low, lost the lead, and lost the fight.
Later, although Golota had the opportunity to challenge Tyson, but as a result, he was punched by Tyson, and his impatient personality was committed again, and he withdrew from the game halfway, which made the scene at the time also in an uproar, and when Golotta left the field, the mineral water bottles of the audience smashed at him like raindrops.
Wang Hao was preparing in the lounge, while watching the game live on TV in the lounge with Sanchez, Paul and others.
Because in the lounge, fighters who have follow-up fights also need to know the on-site competition situation, whether there is a knockdown and ending the fight prematurely, and whether their preparation activities need to be advanced, so there is usually a TV in the lounge where you can watch the live fight.
Wang Hao was in his lounge, doing preparatory activities, while watching the two fighters of the second match on the scene enter.
These two heavyweight fighters, Wang Hao is the first time to meet.
Because Poland has produced strong and somewhat strange fighters like Golota before, Wang Hao is also a little curious about the Polish boxers who appeared today, so he paid special attention to it.
Today's Polish fighter is really similar to Golota, both are two meters tall, white-skinned big men, very strong, and the face is also broad, in terms of appearance, and Golotta should be the same race, belonging to the typical Europa race of Central Europe.
The opponent of a Polish fighter similar to Golota, a black heavyweight fighter from the United States, is not as tall as a Polish boxer, and his body is also a little bloated, with a thick layer of fat on his belly, which is the kind that shakes when he walks.
The two fighters entered the ring one after another, and the attention of the crowd fell on the ring again, waiting for the second fight to begin.
The host of the scene also introduced the two fighters at the same time.
"Polish fighter Kabsta, 26 years old, 2.01 meters tall, weighing 115 kilograms, has a professional record of 17 fights, 16 victories, one defeat, and 13 knockouts in victories, and will challenge for the WBC Intercontinental Champion gold today."
"American boxer Ricky, 30 years old, 1.98 meters tall, 1003 kilograms, 31 professional records, 25 wins, six defeats, 18 knockout wins in the number of victories, is currently the WBC Intercontinental Silver Belt holder, and today is his second defense of the title."
After the host in the ring introduced the two fighters, the game was about to start, at this time, the host of Al Jazeera in the commentary seat also said after listening to the introduction: "It seems that from the record of the game, although the American boxer Nicky is more experienced, but the competition results are not as good as the Polish boxer, there are six losses in 31 fights, and his opponent has only one defeat so far, and from the figure of the two, it is obvious that the Polish boxer Kabsta has a longer height and arm span, And he's physically stronger, and it seems that the future of American boxer Ricci is not very optimistic in this matchup. ”
Hearing what the host said, Moseley replied: "Although I have been boxing in the United States, I have never heard of Rich as a boxer, it seems that his strength and influence in the boxing world are very average, and I also think that the Polish fighter is more likely to win the fight." ”
Also in the commentary seat, De La Hoya, who was sitting on the other side of the host, said: "It seems that the strength and physical fitness of the Polish fighters should be better than Ricci, but the boxing match cannot be judged by the previous record and body of the boxers, let's still see the performance of the two fighters." “
At this time, the bout between Polish fighter Kabsta and the current American WBC American Continental Champion Rich officially began, and it was a 10-round match, as is customary.
At the beginning of the bout, both fighters played cautiously, especially the American boxer Reich, who was the reigning Intercontinental Champion but played extremely carefully, and the first minute of the bout was almost all tentative punches.
In the first half minute of the first round, after the first half of the first round, the Polish fighter began to aggressively play some attacks, although he was unusually tall, but the flexibility of the Polish fighter Kabsta is still outstanding in the heavyweight division, and he can even make some dodging moves.
Boom! Boom! Rumble!
The Polish fighter Kabsta continued to test the Polish fighter Kabsta with a feint punch while backing away from the Polish fighter Kabsta with a feint punch.
American boxer Leech's negativity made the Polish fighter Kabsta more aggressive, and the Polish fighter began to attack at a faster pace and had a few clear points.
And the American boxer Ricky, although he began to play some substantial defensive counterattacks, was still more tentative.
The bout quickly entered the end of the first round, with less than half a minute remaining.
The Polish fighter continued to maintain a certain level of rhythm, and a series of jabs landed on the American boxer Reech's boxing in an attempt to open the gap and land heavy punches.
Rumble!
The Polish fighter Kabsta landed a backhand, but it still landed on the American fighter Ritchie's box, and it didn't seem to have any effect.
Because of the punch, the Polish fighter Kabsta was exposed, and at this time, the American boxer Richie suddenly started, slid forward, and hit the Polish fighter Kabsta in the head with a series of uppercuts.
Due to the slow pace of the American boxer Ricky throughout the first round, the Polish fighter Kabsta was already familiar with this rhythm, and when the American boxer Richie suddenly burst out, the Polish boxer Kabsta's rhythm was a little out of order.
Boom! Boom!
American boxer Richie landed a right hook and a left hook to the head in succession to Polish fighter Kabsta, who hurriedly backed away. At this time, the American fighter Richie immediately followed, and another backhand punch hit the Polish fighter Kabsta in the chin.
Although the strength of the American boxer Leech is not very good, three consecutive heavy punches clearly hit the head of the Polish boxer Kabsta, which also made it difficult for the Polish boxer Kabsta to support, and his feet shook a little, and the Polish boxer Kabsta fell to the ground.
The referee from South America hurriedly walked up to the Polish fighter Kabsta to count the seconds, and by this time the first round was about to end.
Under the ring, the coach of the Polish fighter Kabsta motioned to Kabsta to stand up slowly and not to be in a hurry.
Although the Polish boxer Kabsta fell to the ground with a heavy punch, after all, the game just started, and the recovery ability of the Polish boxer Kabsta is also very good, after he was punched, in fact, he could stand up in two or three seconds, and heard the coach's reminder, he began to stand up from the ground when the referee counted the seconds to "six" on the field, and stood up straight when the referee counted the seconds to "eight" on the field.
The referee determined that the Polish fighter Kabsta could continue the fight, signaling the two to continue.
At this time, the bell rang for the end of the first round, and the two fighters were reluctant to walk back to their corners.
Polish boxer Kabsta didn't expect to be suddenly knocked down by an American boxer, and wanted to stand up and immediately get into a fierce fight with American boxer Reech, while American boxer Reech regretted that he found a gap too late to shoot, otherwise he might be able to continue the game.
The main reason why heavyweight is the most popular division in boxing along with middleweight is that the fighters in this division are tall, powerful, and have a very high knockout rate.
Polish fighter Kabsta and American fighter Reich were tepid for most of the first round, but near the end of the round, a sudden knockout made the crowd very excited.
"Wow! It seems that the reigning Intercontinental Boxing Champion Rich's style of play is very secretive, and he suddenly made a move and knocked out the Polish fighter Kabsta. Al Jazeera's commentary at the scene was also the truth.
The one-minute break passed quickly, and the bout between Polish fighter Kabsta and American fighter Reich entered the second round.
At the start of the second round, both fighters quickly walked to the center of the ring and unleashed hard strikes at each other.
Both men will have to make up for the regret of the previous round, with the Polish fighter Kabsta taking revenge for the cold punch knockout of the American fighter in the previous round, while the American believes that the Polish fighter may not fully recover and will have to continue with the second knockout that was not completed in the previous round because the round was not completed.
The two men engaged in a fierce battle in the center of the ring, hitting each other, but no one backed down.
It's a battle of will, strength, and striking resistance, and both men think they can crush their opponents first.
Boom!
American fighter Reich landed a straight left hand with the Polish fighter Kabsta head-on, but the strong Polish fighter Kabsta took it.
The Polish fighter Kabsta countered quickly, and when he saw the American boxer Nicky punch and showed the gap, he immediately threw two swing punches to the American boxer Richie.
The Polish boxer Kabsta's left and right hand hooks were fast and very heavy, and these two punches directly blinded the American boxer Rich, who was sluggish.
Polish fighter Kabsta seized the opportunity and landed another backhand right hand to the face of American boxer Ritchie, knocking him out directly.
The American fighter lay down heavily in the ring, and the referee immediately walked up and counted the seconds for the American boxer, but the latter was still lying in the ring after the referee finished reading the 10 seconds.
"It's over!"
The referee directly announced the end of the match between the two, and the match between Polish fighter Kabsta and American boxer Reech won the silver belt of the WBC heavyweight intercontinental boxing title after the Polish fighter Kabsta knocked out American boxer Reech in the second round.
"Wow! The game is really changing! On the commentary seat, the Al Jazeera host said, "American boxer Richie just knocked out Polish fighter Kabsta near the end of the first round, but he didn't expect to be finished by Polish fighter Kabsta at the beginning of the second round!" “
"Rich made a mistake in judgment and thought that at the end of the first round, he had injured the Polish fighter Kabsta, but in fact, the Polish fighter Kabsta had a strong recovery ability, and Rich blindly got into a fierce confrontation with the Polish boxer, and was finally knocked out of the ring by the stronger opponent." De la Hoya, who was next to the host and served as today's commentator, also commented.
In the lounge, Wang Hao watched the match between the Polish boxer Kabsta and the American boxer Leech, and Wang Hao thought that the result of this match was because the Polish boxer Kabsta was stronger than the American boxer Leech in terms of overall strength, including technology, strength and resistance to strikes.
The American boxer Richie has the advantage of being experienced and cautious, and if Rich insists on a cautious style of play, it will be difficult for the Polish fighter Kabsta to knock out Rich, and even Rich may win by points.
But after knocking out Polish fighter Kabsta in the first round, American fighter Richie mistakenly thought he could finish Polish fighter Kabsta, which was the main reason why he lost the fight so quickly.
No matter what the next two games look like, it means that the game time between Wang Hao and Costazu is greatly advanced, and Wang Hao, Sanchez and Paul are also adjusting their pre-game preparation activities and bringing some work forward.
At this time, the voice of the host appeared again in the ring.
"Here's tonight's third matchup, which is also a super featherweight title match, with challenger Karzag from the United Kingdom taking on the current WBC super featherweight champion Mexican famous fighter 'Babyface Killer' Barrera!"
