Chapter 260: Spanning Two Levels of Battle Heavenly King
"Northeastern? Brother, when I represented my country in the World Boxing Championships the year before last, I didn't seem to have seen you? Wang Ben was surprised.
"I haven't played amateur boxing, I used to help people repair houses in my hometown, I have practiced kung fu since I was a child, since I watched you win the boxing championship on TV, I found a boxing gym and started practicing boxing, and then the boxing gym saw that my strength was okay, so it recommended me to come to the United States to fight professional boxing."
"Who's your agent?"
"Bob Arum, our gym recommended me to him, but Wang Ben, my English is very poor, I can only understand some of the simplest boxing commands, I can't understand their communication, fortunately Arum helped me find a translator."
"Since you don't speak English well, why don't you learn it better and come back to the United States? I don't think you're too old, so you can come to me for anything in the future. ”
"Thank you! Today is my first professional boxing fight, and I'm going to trouble you in the future. ”
"It's okay, relax, I'm here too."
Wang Ben nodded and said, it is actually a northeasterner, everyone is Chinese, and they should help each other.
Perhaps there will be more and more boxers entering the professional boxing world in the future, and after becoming the invincible boxing champion in the professional boxing world, it is an invisible incentive for domestic boxing fighters.
I remember in my previous life in the early nineties, it seemed that there were no professional boxers in China.
China's true professional boxer only appeared after the 21st century, his name is Xiong Chaozhong, and he won China's first professional boxing championship belt.
In the 90s, there were many professional fighters in Japan and South Korea, and many of them won the title of boxing champion.
But what's going on with Zhang Junlong?
Could it be that history has changed because of my brother, a little butterfly who was reborn?
Wang Ben took a deep breath, but this is not a bad thing, maybe more and more Chinese will be involved in the professional boxing world in the future.
Glancing at Zhang Junlong in front of him, Wang Ben nodded.
This kid is about the same height as himself, with a Chinese face and a sturdy body.
Unconsciously, Wang Ben felt very close, which may be the kind of countryman feeling in a foreign country.
"How old are you? How did you practice before? Wang Ben asked.
"I just turned 20, and I applied for a professional boxing license last year, so I can practice okay, but I haven't really played a professional game yet, so I don't know until I have played."
"What level are you playing? Look you're about to take the stage, come on! ”
"Oh, by the way, we'll talk another day, I'm going on stage."
Zhang Junlong looked at the time and hurriedly walked to the ring.
Soon, the host's introduction came to Wang Ben's ears.
Light heavyweight!
Zhang Junlong is a light heavyweight division, and with his height, he doesn't have much of an advantage in the light heavyweight division, and his opponent is a black American fighter.
Generally, the mat matches are newcomers to the professional boxing world.
Originally, Wang Ben didn't pay much attention to the mat race, but at this time, he was very interested, because one of the newcomers was his own compatriot.
After entering the locker room, the staff began to strictly weigh and take a urine test.
Wang Ben weighs in at 146.5 pounds, which is a welterweight class.
Mavi Hagler weighs in at 160 pounds, which is in the middleweight class.
The difference between the two is 13.5 pounds, which is almost 6kg when converted into kilograms, and according to the rules of professional boxing, the difference between the two is two levels.
Under normal circumstances, Mavi Hagler would not accept a challenge from a fighter two divisions below him, but for some reason, he agreed, and perhaps, from the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to teach Wang Ben a lesson.
After all the inspections were over, Yuan Zhengtu next to him smiled and said: "Wang Ben, there will be more and more Chinese in the professional boxing world in the future, I am very happy to see this, really, if it were not for you, it would be a long time before the Chinese wanted to stand on the professional boxing arena." ”
Wang Ben nodded and said, "I hope this kid is angry, but I think he has a good physique, and his strength should be okay." ”
"I hope he can stay in the professional boxing world a little longer, but unfortunately there are so many light heavyweights, and he has a long way to go if he wants to become a boxing champion." Yuan Zhengtu sighed.
Wang Ben is no longer concerned about other things, he is the main event tonight, and he must give it his all.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is a sleepless night, Wang Ben crosses the division to challenge the four great middleweight kings Mavi Hagler, before that, let's watch the mat match......
With the introduction of the host, Zhang Junlong boarded the boxing ring.
Bite!
The first round begins.
The opponent is a black American boxer named Robinson Hank, the appearance of the black man is impossible to judge, anyway, they are all the same, with dark skin and white teeth.
Zhang Junlong took the lead in throwing a jab, and the punch speed was fast.
Wang Ben sat in the lounge, watching the live broadcast of the game on the big TV, and couldn't help but nodded.
Zhang Junlong's technique is relatively rough, but his strength is not bad, and he controls the rhythm of the game well.
However, Robinson-Hank's height is more dominant than Zhang's, and his footwork is very smooth, and it can be seen that Robinson-Hank must have fought boxing before, at least in amateur boxing.
The two attacked each other, and the game was more intense.
It's a pity that Zhang Junlong's power is a bit lacking, or rather, he lacks a one-hit punch, otherwise he would have knocked Robinson Hank out by knockout in a completely dominant situation.
Zhang's characteristics are very distinctive, he is a fast boxer, quick reflexes, fast punches, and outstanding resistance to strikes.
At the end of the first round, Zhang Junlong had the advantage in points.
Usually the mat match is played over four rounds, with the second round being a dull one.
Black American fighter Robinson Hank has a more conservative style of play, and Zhang Junlong struggles to knock out his opponent without a one-hit punch.
And in the second round, Robinson-Hank used his excellent experience in the ring to successfully hit Zhang Junlong with a counterpunch the moment Zhang Junlong threw a straight punch.
The power of the counterpunch was heavy, and it almost knocked Zhang Junlong to the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Ben shook his head, Zhang Junlong's experience in the arena is seriously lacking, and he can hit even the most basic counterattack boxing, it seems that if he wants to mix in the professional boxing world, he must practice hard.
However, Zhang Junlong's body has a strong ability to carry and beat, and after being hit by a counterattack boxing, he didn't even need a referee to get up in a few seconds.
In the second round, Zhang Junlong was at a disadvantage because he was knocked down by his opponent and deducted points.
The third round started to get extremely intense.
Zhang Junlong's speed became faster and his punches were ferocious, and although the technique was still very rough, the speed made up for the technical shortcomings.
Eventually, Zhang's combination began to go wild, knocking out black American fighter Robinson Hank.
Stylistically, Zhang seems to like Wang Ben's boxing style, and in the ring, his combination punch offensive style is completely imitating Wang Ben, and even the offensive footwork and striking rhythm are extremely similar to Wang Ben.
Before the end of the third round, Zhang Junlong knocked out Robinson Hank to claim his first professional victory.
Yuan Zhengtu, who accompanied Wang Ben to watch the game, helped Wang Ben wrap the bandage while saying: "Zhang Junlong knocked out his opponent in the first boxing match, it seems that he still has some development in professional boxing. ”
Wang Ben shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, this kid's combat experience is too poor, and his boxing skills are also very rough, this is a rookie like Robinson Hank, if he meets a slightly stronger opponent, it will be difficult for him to win, this guy doesn't have his own style, and he always wants to imitate me." ”
"You are now the pride of our Chinese, it is normal for him to imitate you, you can't forbid others to imitate you, right?" Yuan Zhengtu smiled.
"There's no problem imitating me, but you have to have your own style, he doesn't have my reaction speed, he doesn't have my killer punches, if you imitate me, he won't be in the professional boxing world for a long time, besides, the light heavyweight master is like a cloud, it's almost impossible for him to become a boxing champion." Wang Ben sighed and said.
If you want to become a boxing champion, blind imitation will not work.
Wang Ben's own boxing style is always changing, and Zhang Junlong wants to imitate his offensive routines, and once it is studied, he will definitely make a big mistake.
