On August 5, Ji Liang came to Las Vegas ahead of schedule, and two days later it was his amateur boxing match with Carl Malone.

This time, in addition to Coach Rivers who accompanied him, there were also several of his proud disciples, who could also be used as temporary bodyguards while coming to observe.

No way, Las Vegas is famous for its gambling industry, and nine of the world's ten largest resort hotels are located here, making it one of the world's most famous resort destinations, known as the "Entertainment Capital of the World" and the "Wedding Capital".

At the same time, the city is also known as the City of Sin City, where people from all over the world come together, and law and order are quite chaotic.

Since 1976, Las Vegas has introduced a casino boxing model, and partnered with American pay television networks, making the boxing atmosphere here quickly hot.

Now more than 20 years have passed, and the status of boxing in Las Vegas is no less than that of Madison Square Garden in New York, the "Mecca of Boxing", and has become the center of professional boxing in the world.

For many professional fighters, being able to fight in Las Vegas can undoubtedly have a profound impact on their future.

Under the guidance of Coach Rivers, Chi Liang and others came to the Nevada Sports Commission.

Even if he participates in an amateur boxing match, because of his too much influence, he must undergo a medical examination before the competition according to the rules of professional boxing.

The content of the medical examination is very strict, and the whole body is checked, which is also for the safety of the boxer.

After getting the physical examination form, Chi Liang took a look at it and didn't bother to continue to pay attention.

There is no doubt that he passed the medical examination with ease and was extremely healthy.

Under the committee's arrangement, Chi Liang and others stayed at the MGM Hotel, which is known for its luxury, which is also the hotel where amateur boxing matches are stayed.

In 1993, MGM Grand opened as the world's largest and most roomed hotel, as well as the venue for the Ravesgas boxing arena.

The committee was quite generous and directly chartered a villa at the MGM Grand Hotel as a temporary residence for Chi Liang and others.

This villa is extremely luxurious, with a swimming pool, spa and underground sports field in addition to some normal amenities.

There's no doubt that MGM Grand is the entertainment hub of Las Vegas, with a wide variety of entertainment facilities and even a number of big-name celebrities who specialize in their concerts.

However, since moving into the villa, Chi Liang has never left the villa and accepted the professional guidance of Rivers.

It's not that he doesn't want to feel the atmosphere of Las Vegas, it's not that he doesn't want to go out and enjoy it, it's just that the security in Las Vegas is too chaotic, but he is a celebrity, and it's easy to be peeped at.

Even if Chi Liang is strong and strong, the United States is a country with a rampant number of guns, and if someone really targets him, how can they deal with him with their bare hands.

Time passed slowly, and soon two days passed, and the boxing match officially began.

On this night, Ji Liang and Rivers and others came to the locker room on time, and compared with two days ago, there was one more person in his team.

This is a professional masseur specially arranged by the committee for Chi Liang, who massages him before the start of the game to soothe his muscles so that Chi Liang can play in a better condition.

In order to hype up this game, IBF specially invited many celebrities to come to cheer, including many sports stars, such as O'Neal, Larry Johnson, etc.

Among them, under the arrangement of the organizers, Britney Spears, a popular female singer, sang a song before the game.

In 1998, Britney Spears officially debuted with a huge success of her first album "BabyOneMoreTime", and her single of the same name stayed on the Billboard chart for 103 weeks, which is a miracle, selling 13 million copies.

is different from what Ji Liang remembers, the current Britney is in excellent shape, and her words and deeds are full of charm, which is the period when she is charming.

Britney also sang her famous song "BabyOneMoreTime", and in just five minutes, the atmosphere of the scene was hot, and Britney's name was shouted one after another, I don't know if I thought this was Britney's solo concert!

Now Britney has opened an unstoppable mode, but unfortunately her peak period is short, only a few years, otherwise it is possible to surpass Madonna.

After Britney's singing, the host waited for a while, and when the shouts for Britney subsided, he began to bring the topic to today's boxing match, and again drew the audience's attention back from Britney.

The boxing match between Chi Liang and Ma Long naturally attracted a large number of spectators. These viewers are professional fans, but more often than not, basketball fans.

If you look closely, you will also find a lot of Asians.

This amateur boxing match attracted the attention of countless boxing fans and basketball fans, and nearly 20,000 tickets were sold, not to mention the live broadcast on cable TV, and the number of viewers who paid to watch the boxing match was predicted to have significantly exceeded one million.

These tickets can cost hundreds or tens of thousands of dollars, and in order to avoid the audience not getting too busy watching them, the IBF chose the mechanism of the boxing championship and organized three mat matches.

Most of the contestants in these three mat matches are fighters who have just joined the professional boxing world, mainly to prevent them from stealing the limelight from the two protagonists.

In the end, they are professional boxers, and naturally they fight quite fiercely, but unfortunately their fame is limited, so naturally they did not cause much cheering.

At the beginning of the mat competition, Chi Liang began to enjoy the skills of professional masseurs, and a tingling sensation surged from his whole body, making his body and mind feel more comfortable.

Soon, Chi Liang warmed up, Coach Rivers smeared a layer of vegetable oil on him, and then helped wrap the hand belt, put on boxing gloves, crotch guards and other equipment, and Chi Liang, who was wrapped in a red cloak, began to prepare to play.

It didn't take long to wait, and the cheers of the audience rang out outside the locker room, they were noisy, but if you listened carefully, you will find that most of them shouted the names of Chi Liang and Ma Long.

There is no doubt that it is his turn and Malone to play.

One is the 'Postman' Malone, known for his strong body, and the strongest power forward in the NBA, and his unicorn arm is even more brilliant, which can be called the top of the NBA weapons list.

The other is the 'Miracle Child' Chi Liang, who set many records when he first entered the NBA, easily beating Garnett on the court, and beating 'Roaring Tianzun' Rasheed Wallace with an almost undamaged attitude, which has also become an unprovoked existence.

In terms of stature, Ma Long is stronger, and his pair of extremely thick unicorn arms have a strong deterrent power.

In terms of age, Chi Liang obviously has an advantage, Ma Long is 16 years older than him, even if Ma Long's condition is maintained very well, it is inevitable that he will decline.
