The middleweight division successfully defended, and after three months of silence, Wang Ben appeared in front of the media again.

Although the title defense was only 58 seconds long, Wang Ben only threw two punches, but the major American media rushed to cover the boxing match.

After all, Wang Ben's fame is different now, and this is his first boxing match after being promoted to middleweight, which is very valuable for reporting.

In the early 90s, although the Internet had not yet taken off, television sets began to become popular, and fans as far away as China knew about Wang's successful title defense, and everyone was excited.

Of course, the Japanese and South Korean media also reported on Wang Ben's boxing match, but the headline was somewhat intriguing.

"The king of China won again in professional boxing, but he still didn't dare to accept the challenge of Chiba Zhenying"

Analysis of the Weakness of the King of China

"The Chinese king chooses a rookie in the title defense tournament, he doesn't dare to accept the challenge of the strong, he is afraid of losing!" 》

"The Chinese king is dissatisfied with the black belt ranking, and he takes a rookie out of anger in the ring. 》

……

The Japanese and Koreans lost their temperance at an early age, and seeing Wang Ben's successful defense in the ring, it was reported in the media and newspapers in an inconspicuous place, and it was clear that there was a sour taste between the words.

This is especially true for Koreans, and some people even wrote that Wang Ben is of Korean ancestry, and his ancestors are Koreans.

In order to prove this point, the Koreans pulled out a lot of certifications, with only one purpose, to prove that Wang Ben is Korean.

Fortunately, Wang Ben is in the United States, and he doesn't know the nonsense of the Koreans, otherwise he will be angry and have stomach problems.

South Korea's mother!

Lao Tzu is an authentic Chinese, which onion is counted in Korea? Why don't you say that the whole history of China is Korean?

No, Koreans seem to have said such things.

Three days after the competition, CBS invited Wang Ben for an exclusive interview.

Originally, Wang Ben wanted to refuse an interview, but when he heard a bad news, Wang Ben accepted CBS's interview request without hesitation.

The bad news is that Wang Ben's challenge to BA middleweight champion McClellan has failed, and McClellan does not accept Wang Ben's challenge.

The reason is very simple, McClellan has a lot of opinions about the appearance fee, and he requires that his appearance fee must be the same as Wang Ben, otherwise he refuses to challenge.

With Wang Ben's current reputation, McClellan's request was impossible to meet, so after two days of talking, the talk collapsed.

Wang Ben came to the live broadcast room of CBS, in order to ensure his image, Wang Ben deliberately cut his head that looked full of energy, looking sunny and handsome.

Perhaps for better communication, the host invited by the TV station was Zong Liuhua, a famous Chinese-American female anchor.

Zong Liuhua has a high reputation among overseas Chinese, and has successively served as a reporter and news program host for three major television networks such as CBS and NBC, and has been selected as one of the top ten outstanding women in the United States and won TV "Emmy Awards", "Golden Hammer Awards" and other awards.

After everything was ready, Zong Liuhua began to ask: "Wang Ben, why did you choose Roy Jones Jr. in your boxing title defense three days ago, is it because of his poor strength?" ”

Wang Ben replied: "No, Roy Jones Jr. is a good fighter, his technique and heavy punches are very good, in fact, before that, I wanted to fight BA champion McClellan. ”

"Do you want to challenge McClellan?"

"It's not a challenge, it's just that I personally want to fight him, I'm the BC middleweight champion now, and McClellan is the BA middleweight champion, and there's no challenge between the two."

Wang Ben continued: "McClellan is a boxing champion on a par with Robert Duran, in my opinion, he is even stronger than Robert Duran, if I can beat him, I will have no regrets in my career, but unfortunately, McClellan doesn't know for what purpose, he doesn't want to fight me. ”

"Have you ever dated him through your agent?"

"That's right, although if I play in a ranked match in BA, I can also get a chance to challenge him, but it will take a lot of time, and you know, I've always been a cross-division challenge from super lightweight to be able to get into the heavyweight division faster, and I don't have that much time to play ranked matches."

"I'd love to know, why did he reject you?"

"You have to ask him, maybe he's afraid of losing, and he's worried that if he loses to me, he'll lose the title." Wang Ben said.

"Do you want to unify the middleweight division? Since ultra-lightweight, you've won the title of all three major organizations in professional boxing, does middleweight have a unified goal? ”

"Of course, I said early on that I was going to fight from ultra-lightweight all the way to heavyweight, across eight divisions, together with 32 championship belts, and I wanted to get them all." Wang Ben said proudly.

In fact, McClellan is a tragic figure in professional boxing.

Although Wang Ben didn't pay much attention to middleweight boxing in his previous life, McClellan left a deep impression on Wang Ben.

He wants to defeat McClellan, he just wants to try to change McClellan's fate, and he doesn't want to see McClellan's miserable old age.

In Wang Ben's memory, McClellan was very strong.

Born in 1967, McClellan began his professional boxing career at the age of 21, and his boxing career lasted only eight years, but he was named one of the greatest heavyweight fighters in middleweight history by Boxing magazine.

McClellan's career record is 31-3-29 KOs, with a staggering 85% KO rate, and it's worth mentioning that McClellan has only fought 84 rounds of professional boxing in his life, which means that he has only played 84 rounds in total in 34 fights, with an average of just over 2 rounds per game.

Nineteen of his 29 knockouts have been one-round blitz knockouts and 28 have been three-round knockouts, with only 1993 when McClellan challenged BC middleweight champion Julian Jackson, who dragged the fight to the fifth round.

But in 1994, the rematch between Julian Jackson and McClellan lasted only 1 minute and 23 seconds, and McClellan destroyed Jackson like a raging storm.

McClellan's career got off to a great start, winning all of his first 10 fights by knockout.

In February 1989, McClellan fought three fights in a month, all of which were within two rounds, but the density of the fight took its toll on McClellan, and in April and June 1989, McClellan lost on both points, against unworthy fighters.

McClellan then adjusted his form and went on to win 13 fights in a row before defeating John Maccabee in 1991 to claim the vacant BO middleweight title.

But since BO was still a small organization in the early nineties, McClellan immediately dropped the belt and began seeking the middleweight crown of BC.

On May 3, 1994, McClellan got the chance to challenge for the boxing title of his dreams, and standing in front of him was the British boxing champion Julian Jackson, who has dominated the boxing world for many years and is known as "one punch to change the game".

McClellan showed the true colors of the king of the blitzkrieg, exerting strong pressure on Jackson from the first round, and the stable Jackson counterattacked steadily, slowly maneuvering with McClellan.

The first few rounds were close between the two sides, but in the fifth round, McClellan caught Jackson's flaw and took him down with a heavy punch to claim the most important title of his life.

This great knockout was named the 1993 Knockout of the Year by Boxing magazine.
