Chapter 316: Pretending to be a "Little Overlord"
Ben Wang vs Roy Jones Jr.
A month later, the middleweight title defense officially began, and although the two are too different in fame, the attention is not low.
This is Wang Ben's first boxing fight since he was promoted to middleweight, and fans want to see if Wang Ben's strength has dropped.
In the professional boxing world, there are many boxing champions who are very good in this division, but once they are upgraded, the decline in strength is very obvious.
Especially in the recent "Black Belt" annual selection of "Eight Kings", Wang Ben ranked fifth, and more people began to pay attention to Wang Ben to see if his strength improved after he was promoted to middleweight.
Therefore, the tickets for the first defense of the title after Wang Ben was promoted to middleweight sold very well, and the local tyrants in the United States, Europe and other places gave face very much, and the TV media also bought the broadcast rights.
Of course, the main focus is on Japan and Hong Kong Island, as well as China and South Korea.
In the annual selection of the "Eight Kings", the Japanese and Koreans ranked first and second respectively, and the Chinese were certainly not convinced, especially in the Hong Kong Island martial arts community, and everyone hoped that Wang Ben could take down all the Japanese and Koreans.
Since China is still in the initial stage of the economy, if it were to be in the era of information explosion in the 21st century, with China's huge audience base, the number of people watching the game will crush any country in the world.
The venue for the competition is the Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas.
Wang Ben looked at the audience and found that there were a lot of audiences, and the seats were full, and he was immediately relieved, he chose Roy Jones Jr. to defend the title, which was a big risk, mainly because Roy Jones Jr. is not famous now, which makes people feel a bit bullying newcomers.
In addition, in this middleweight title defense, Wang Ben's appearance fee is only $4 million, which is really low for his current popularity.
Once in the locker room, the weight measurement and pre-match check-up begins.
Wang Ben currently weighs 158 pounds, and Roy Jones Jr. weighs 159 pounds, and the two are about the same weight.
Of course, if you look at it in terms of height, Wang Ben is now 186cm, while Roy Jones Jr. is 180cm, Wang Ben is a little taller than Roy Jones Jr.
This middleweight title defense features three cushion matches.
Mats are generally new fighters, and only well-known fighters can become the main event.
This is similar to acting in a movie, only stars can become the protagonists, newcomers can only play tricks, and the mat match is the "trick" of professional boxing.
In the first mat match, there were two black heavyweight fighters, although they were tall and mighty, but the audience was not very enthusiastic.
These two fighters are very strong, and the key is to play conservatively, which is difficult to make people interested.
If a rookie fighter wants to become famous quickly, he must be distinctive, either he attacks fiercely or he is fast, and there is nothing that can make people's eyes shine, and it is impossible to become famous quickly.
So when the four rounds of the mat match were over, and the two of them scored the winner, the sporadic applause could show that everyone was absent-minded, and it seemed that they wished they had ended it sooner.
The second mat game was much more exciting.
It is a big fight between two new fighters in the middleweight division, one black and one white, forming a stark contrast.
The white boxers attack very quickly, and the only pity is that the heavy punches are not very lethal, but the scene is good.
Especially his movement norms, using super speed, pressed the black boxer to fight, so that the black boxer had no power to fight back.
Suddenly, the audience erupted in warm applause, and the audience did not hesitate to applaud themselves for this fierce attack.
The black boxer's ability to resist beatings is very strong, although the technique is very rough, but the muscles are very strong, and the jaw is also very strong.
After the first round, the white fighter began to exert his power and attacked wildly with combination punches.
If the strength is not enough, the speed will make up for it!
The white boxer's combination was so fast that the black fighter had to defend passively, and at the second round of just over two minutes, the white fighter landed an uppercut to the black boxer's chin and finally knocked him down.
The black boxer was lying on the ground, stunned all of a sudden, and couldn't get up for half a day.
The white fighter won the bout, only to see him jump up and cheer, very excited.
The third mat match was a dull match, with four rounds in the end, and the spectators sitting in the front row even yawned.
When the mat game is over, it is the turn of tonight's protagonists Wang Ben and Roy Jones Jr. to play.
This is Wang Ben's middleweight title defense, so Roy Jones Jr. is the first to appear.
Maybe it's because this is the first time Roy Jones Jr. has challenged the boxing title, and he is very excited, so he is very dazzling and sassy!
If there is one sentence to describe Roy Jones Jr., it is that this guy likes to pretend to be forced!
Yes, it's pretending to be forced, but there is no way, he does have the ability to pretend to be forced.
Roy Jones Jr. likes his opponent the most in the ring, and even makes angry ass-twisting, tongue-sticking out, etc.
If you're by him, it's his turn to perform.
Roy Jones Jr. has well-developed muscles, lightning-fast attacking speed, almost perfect footwork, and versatile offensive and defensive techniques. His games are very spectacle and have a high appreciation value.
In addition, his style of play condenses the essence of Robinson, boxing champion Ali, Leonard and other super boxing champions, and his strength is very strong.
However, at this time, his skills have not yet reached their peak, and he has not yet become a god!
The host of the competition is Ba Fu, usually Wang Ben's boxing match, and the on-site host invited is generally Ba Fu, and only he can be worthy of Wang Ben's fame.
Paver took the stage with Roy Jones Jr. and began to introduce Roy Jones Jr.'s professional record, as well as his weight and height.
At the same time, Bavo specifically mentioned Roy Jones Jr.'s father, Roy Jones, although Roy Jones Jr. has not yet become a boxing champion, but Bafo does not mean to take him lightly in the slightest.
As a world-renowned host, Baffle has a great sense of humor, and he constantly encourages Roy Jones Jr., hoping to bring everyone a wonderful boxing fight in the future.
Pavo's encouragement was very effective, and Roy Jones Jr. was full of confidence in the ring, like a chicken blood, in very good shape, very excited!
Next is Wang Ben's appearance!
The lights converged in front of the locker room, Wang Ben wore a red shirt, accompanied by the staff, with a faint smile on his face, and walked towards the ring.
Crash......
Thunderous applause rang out, fans shouted excitedly, and at the same time frantically ran towards the king.
Completely different treatment from Roy Jones Jr.
This is the celebrity effect, fans see their favorite idols, it's so crazy.
Most of the fans at the scene, in fact, most of them came to see Wang Ben, even a slight greeting from Wang Ben can make the fans happy for a long time.
Roy Jones Jr. was twisting his ass and dancing hard in the ring, and when he saw the sensation caused by Wang Ben's appearance, his face changed.
Is there any mistake?
The king of China is so popular?
Today I must defeat you, King of China, I will snatch your boxing belt, I will steal your limelight .......
But this requires strength, and you can't pretend to be forced to accomplish this lofty goal.
It is undeniable that Roy Jones Jr. does have the strength to threaten Wang Ben's position, but it was only a few years later that there was a little hope for his technical success.
Now?
In front of Wang Ben, he is just a rookie!
