Chapter 91: A Big Disappointment
Since the World Amateur Boxing Championships were awarded at all levels, Wang Ben did not leave the Luzhniki Stadium after winning the 63.5kg title, but sat in the audience to watch the match.
This World Championships is very interesting, with masters of all levels like clouds, which can be regarded as a big gathering of world boxing powers.
Moreover, there are two super bulls in the heavyweight division, they are Lewis and Ricdiq Bowe, although their current strength is not at their peak, but after this World Championships, they will turn into professional fighters, this is their last amateur boxing match, it is really hard to say who will die.
Most of the matches were won by points in the three divisions after 67 kilograms, and in the high-level competitions, everyone played more cautiously, and there were few knockouts.
Finally, it was the turn of the 81-kilogram final.
Mitchell Müller vs Vadilev.
Vadilev is a native Russian boxer, who punches fiercely, is fast, likes to attack, has average boxing skills, and has a strong ability to resist hitting.
As soon as the bell rang, Vadilev scrambled to attack, taking advantage of the home advantage and his opponent not yet getting used to the rhythm of the fight, he launched a series of combinations for Muller.
Now the crowd erupted in cheers and shouts, and many Russian fans raised their arms and chanted, and now the passion is at its peak.
It can be seen from this that Vadilev is very famous in Russia and has many fans.
In the first round, Muller was completely at a disadvantage, only to see Vadilev shoot left and right with both fists, and Mueller was defeated and had no power to resist.
Syllable!
There was a thud, and Mueller was hit in the cheek by a hook from Vadilev, and he fell to the ground with a pop.
As the referee was about to count the seconds, Muller got up and nodded to the referee to signal that the game could continue.
As the match wore on, Muller got into the groove and things gradually improved, but by the end of the first round, the difference in points between the two men was still a bit far.
Then came the second round, and after a minute of rest, I don't know if Muller's coach gave him any guidance, Muller seemed more aggressive, and his confidence was much higher than the previous round, and the jab kept hitting Vadilev's chest, and even one heavy punch almost knocked Vadilev to the ground.
In the third round, both of them played real fire, and it was also a critical moment in the game, the two did not give in, punching back and forth, and launched a fierce attack.
Fighting in the ring is what fans love and look forward to the most, and suddenly, the surrounding audience got carried away and shouted and let out earth-shattering shouts, and even the stadium was about to collapse.
Wang Ben sat in the audience, looked at the audience around him, and shook his head helplessly.
Nima, the home field is the home field, although these fans did not go on stage to fight, but the people standing on the stage, hearing so many cheers, immediately felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their fighting spirit was high.
Muller's technique is very delicate, his punches are sharp, no worse than Vadilev, and he hit Vadilev in the corner of the eye with a ferocious right hook, and Vadilev suddenly only felt dizzy, as if he had been bitten by a hungry wolf, and he shivered in pain.
The fighting nation is worthy of being a tough man, he fought back desperately, but the momentum was lower than before, there was no way, he was not lightly injured by the punch just now.
Muller is black, and needless to say, his stamina, and when the third round is over, it is clear that Vadilev's stamina is a little out of hand.
Sure enough, in the fourth round, Vadilev was forced into a corner by Muller, and under the ferocious blow, Vadilev was finally knocked to the ground.
Fist is afraid of being less strong!
Muller was a full eight years younger than Vadilev, full of energy and good boxing skills, and he deservedly won the 81kg final.
The surrounding audience yelled and scolded, but fortunately, they did not make radical moves.
Wang Ben shook his head and smiled bitterly, Vadilev's strength is very strong, but unfortunately, he ran into Mueller, and he was unlucky.
You must know that Muller broke out in the later stage, but he defeated Holyfield's boxing "jack-of-all-trades" head-on, and won by points, which shows how difficult it is.
However, Vadilev's tactics are also a bit problematic, knowing that he has the advantage in the first round, he should continue to work hard instead of thinking about winning by points, and if he had been attacking aggressively in the first round, I believe the result would have been completely different.
After Muller's victory, it was up to the 91kg final, where the two sides fought out four rounds to score points and the European Dutch fighter won the title.
Finally, the highlight of the World Amateur Boxing Championships came, with super-heavyweight fighters over 91 kilograms taking to the stage.
Riddick Bowe vs Lennox Lewis
Wang Ben sat in the audience, and after seeing these two people on stage, he was a little excited.
Nima, these two are the super boxing champions of the American professional boxing scene in the 90s, the real dragon and tiger competition!
However, when the game was underway, Wang Ben was completely stunned!
Is this the strength of a super boxing champion?
This is Lewis, who dominated the American professional boxing scene in the late 90s, and Ricdick Bowe, known as "Big Daddy"?
Is this Riddick Bough? Is it the super boxing champion who defeated Holyfield twice?
Is this Lewis? Is it my brother's former idol?
Depend on! Make no mistake, these two guys are very average in strength, and they are not at the same level as the two super bulls in their impressions.
Wang Ben was a little speechless, he thought it was a dragon fight, but he didn't expect it to be just an ordinary super heavyweight match, and the game was relatively dull and not exciting at all.
At least, it is far from Wang Ben's expectations.
At this time, he really didn't dare to imagine that Lewis would be able to defeat Tyson, at this level, to be honest, if Tyson punched down with a strong combination, I was afraid that he would have to fall.
In fact, to put it mildly, Lewis and Tyson are close in age, and when Tyson was at his peak, Lewis's career was just beginning, and the level was indeed not at the same level.
However, Tyson himself died, made unforgivable mistakes, and was arrogant and willing to degenerate, otherwise, no one in the professional boxing world in the nineties could really shake his throne.
But Lewis is indeed smart, steady, modest and cautious, low-key, unassuming, and does not offend anyone, and even has very little negative media coverage.
He has the demeanor of an English gentleman, and his position as the "king" of heavyweight boxing is very strong.
And, since Lewis' retirement, the professional boxing world hasn't had its former glory, which is incredible.
The result of the match was the same as last year's Olympics in Korea, with Lewis in full control of the pace of the match, and the final four rounds were full, with Lewis winning by a big score.
Wang Ben looked at Lewis who raised his hands on the stage and couldn't help but sigh.
Hehe, if my brother weighs more than ninety-one kilograms now, if he has a fight with these two super bulls, I believe he will be able to defeat them.
Especially Riddick Baugh, this guy's strength is too far from his previous life, could it be that after turning professional, his strength and technique have improved very quickly?
Suddenly, Wang Ben was a little puzzled.
Similarly, although Lewis is doing better, if his brother is in the same level as him, he will definitely not lose.
Isn't it just the advantage of height and arm length?
Brother's combination of heavy punches is not vegetarian, if I can practice the power of Chinese martial arts to the level of dark strength by then, it should not be much of a problem to deal with him.
Thinking of this, Wang Ben looked forward to it.
