Chapter 231: Fist to practice, but also to fight
This cross-border war has caused a sensation around the world!
Although the American Anti-Martial Arts Association strongly protested, it has to be said that this kind of irregular ring showdown is more attractive than boxing.
In particular, the unregulated battle in the ring is very bloody and can easily cause death or serious disability, so the organizing committee was under a lot of pressure, and finally had to promise the media that in the future, this kind of unregulated battle needs to change the rules to reduce the danger.
However, the strange thing is that there are a lot of people who support it, because this kind of bloody battle is not easy to appear fake boxing, and it is more real!
No one cheats on their lives!
These things had little impact on Wang Ben, because this boxing match was allowed by the World Professional Boxing Organization and did not violate the rules of the game.
As for killing people in the ring, the fighter can't control it at all, either you die or I die, it's impossible to stand on the ring and let people fight, right?
Major newspapers and television stations on Hong Kong Island and Portugal vied to cover the boxing match, and the entire page was full of headlines.
"The Battle of Nam Van Lake! The headline of the newspaper was very loud.
In the report, Wang Ben was portrayed as a generation of heroes, just like Chen Zhen back then, especially after the photos of Wang Ben and Mengchai's body types were published, it seemed that Wang Ben was extremely powerful.
After Wang Ben saw the newspaper, he couldn't help laughing.
"These guys can really write, and Chen Zhen, there is no such person at all, okay?"
All the martial arts colleagues on Hong Kong Island and Portugal have come to visit Wang Ben one after another, and Wang Ben's victory in this boxing match can be regarded as a bad breath for the Chinese.
In particular, the Wing Chun Gate is visited by the owner himself.
If you can open a martial arts hall on Hong Kong Island, the general strength is good, unlike the mainland of the mainland, where you can't open a martial arts gym if you don't have actual combat strength.
Leung Wai Kit used to be an apprentice of Wing Chun Gate, and his strength is very strong on Hong Kong Island, and he has a lot of weight on Hong Kong Island and Portuguese, otherwise he would not be able to become a capable man next to gambling king Ho Hung Lok.
Among the various community forces on Hong Kong Island, it is generally described as the person who can fight the most, and he is called "Double Flower Red Stick"! In fact, Liang Weijie is the double-flower red stick of the gambling king Ho Hongle club.
Liang Weijie is usually very low-key, but he has fought against many disciples of martial arts halls on Hong Kong Island and has rarely been defeated.
His strength has been recognized and verified by everyone.
If you divide the martial arts world, Leung Weijie can be regarded as a top player, although there is still a little distance from the grandmaster, but there are no more than one hand of people who can defeat him in the entire Hong Kong Island.
However, Hong Kong Island, the top player, fought with Mengchai in the ring, but was killed by more than a minute.
And it seems that Mengchai didn't exert all his strength at all, just attacked Liang Weijie once and beat Liang Weijie to death in the ring.
To be honest, the people who saw this scene at that time were very unconvinced, but they were helpless.
Is it true that Chinese martial arts can't beat Muay Thai?
Is Muay Thai really the strongest martial arts of 500 years, as described by the Thais?
Seeing the strength of Mengchai, compared to Liang Weijie's powerlessness in the ring, all the martial arts world was collectively silent, and no one had the courage to challenge Mengchai.
So when Wang Ben defeated Mengchai cleanly in the boxing ring, he was praised by everyone in the martial arts world.
In particular, Hong Kong Island Asia TV found Wang Ben for an exclusive interview.
Originally, Wang Ben wanted to refuse, but in the end, he thought about it and agreed to the interview request of Asia TV.
The reporter interviewed was an acquaintance, that is, Xiong Daimin, a beautiful reporter who interviewed her when she participated in the Asian Boxing Championships.
Xiong Daimin looks a little cramped than the first time, and now Wang Ben's fame is in full swing, and in the face of such a superstar, Xiong Daimin is a little nervous, and the interview pressure is very high.
"Mr. Wang Ben, this is my second interview with you, and I am very grateful for giving me this opportunity." Xiong Daimin said a little nervously.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a beast, look at your face is pale, am I so terrible?"
"Hehe, you're so humorous!" Xiong Daimin smiled and relaxed a little.
"That's right, ask, what do you want to know?"
"Are you sure you can win before you challenge Muay Thai king Monchai?"
"Not sure!"
"But how dare you challenge Muay Thai king Monchai? You must know that you are a professional boxing champion, and if you are defeated by Mengchai, you are likely to be seriously injured, and even affect your professional future. ”
"I didn't think so much at the time, I just wanted to beat him, because, I am Chinese, and if I am indifferent to see Chinese people being killed in the ring, then I am not worthy of learning martial arts!"
"We've all seen that when you fight against Mengchai, you rarely use boxing, and more use Chinese kung fu, can you tell everyone which school of kung fu you learned?"
"There is no sect, my kung fu is family heirloom."
"When Leung Wai Kit was fighting against Monchai, he was defeated by Monchai and died in one minute, we all know that Leung Wai Kit is a disciple of Wing Chun, what do you think of Wing Chun's kung fu?"
"There is no high or low boxing, I can only say this, the key is to look at the people who practice martial arts."
"You mean that Leung Wai Kit's strength is not high, not because of the poor Wing Chun, do you mean so?"
"Yes, twenty years ago, Bruce Lee was a disciple of Wing Chun, and his strength was recognized worldwide and he was rated as a martial saint, so there is no strongest boxing technique, the key is to look at the person who practices boxing."
"You are now rated as the best fighter in China, how do you usually practice boxing? Can you tell us about that? ”
"First of all, let me correct your statement, I never said that I am the most capable person in China, as for how I practice boxing, it is very simple, go to the ring and fight with people!"
"You are so modest, can you improve your strength by fighting with others?"
"Yes, punches are made, not practiced!"
"I understand, now the people who practice martial arts in China lack actual combat, so their strength is generally very poor, but they often practice free fighting and taekwondo, as well as karate, Muay Thai and other foreign fighting techniques, they have a lot of opportunities to fight, so their strength is very strong."
"That's what it means, boxing to practice, but also to fight, only in this way can you have actual combat power, if you just practice and don't fight, no matter how powerful you practice, it's all a show."
"But now that civilization is advocated in society and fights are prohibited, your point of view is that people who practice martial arts must fight with others, is there a conflict with social civilization?"
"There is no conflict, the actual combat I am talking about is not a street fight, but a formal boxing match to improve the level of martial arts, just like the K-1 top free fighting tournament held by the Japanese, the Muay Thai King Championship held by the Thais, etc., not to mention boxing, the professional boxing development of the United States is very good, which is worth learning from."
"You mean holding a martial arts competition in China? Aren't there often martial arts competitions in China now? ”
"The martial arts competition is a traditional martial arts routine competition, there is no actual combat, and if you want to improve the actual combat ability of martial arts, you must hold a ring competition."
"It may be difficult at the moment, as far as I know, there are many martial arts schools in China, and the view of the door is very serious, and everyone may not be willing to participate in the ring."
"You are right, this is indeed a problem, many martial arts schools disdain to participate in the ring, feeling undignified, which is why martial arts are now declining more and more, and in the world fighting ring, Chinese appear less and less."
Wang Ben nodded and sighed helplessly.
Speaking of which, the major schools of martial arts do not disdain to fight in the ring, but they don't dare!
Just like Tai Chi, Wudang, Shaolin and other major schools, every year relying on the signboard can also fool some martial arts enthusiasts, and can get a lot of income, once they go to the ring and are swept away, the loss is very large, so they generally avoid actual combat, and the propaganda is more and more mysterious, attracting attention.
Wang Ben took a deep breath, he is now a professional boxing champion, and he is not bad for money, he should do something for Guoshu!
In this boxing match, Wang Ben gained a lot, not only won a reward of nearly 80 million US dollars, but also allowed Li Xinran to bet on the world's major gaming companies, and obtained nearly 100 million US dollars.
Therefore, he is really not short of money now, and his total net worth is more than 200 million US dollars, not including the assets of a new generation of domestic companies.
It can be said that he is now the richest man in professional boxing, even Tyson is not as rich as him.
"I have a suggestion that if someone can organize this kind of martial arts tournament in China, I can set up a prize pool fund to provide $5 million in prize money to the champions of all divisions who win each year, and endorse the event for free to expand the global reach. You know, I'm a professional boxing champion and I don't have time to organize an event like this. ”
After speaking, Wang Ben remembered some martial arts fighting events held in China in his previous life, because of the low publicity, in order to expand his influence, he had to arrange fake boxing to win the red star boxers.
The most obvious thing is that in order to become a popular boxer, he spent tens of thousands of yuan casually, invited some foreign boxers who were not in the stream, and even some international students to make cameos, claiming to defeat top foreign masters, deceiving himself, and finally losing the face of Guoshu.
Therefore, Wang Ben thought for a moment, and finally added: "Of course, if you want to get the prize pool fund, you must get my approval, which is the first condition." ”
