Chapter 384: Horns' clamor
Stewart's efficiency is not to be said.
Wang Ben's crossover challenge to super middleweight champion Leonard's boxing title fight was quickly negotiated.
In this game, Wang Ben's appearance fee is $25 million, while Leonard's appearance fee is $10 million.
Leonard's appearance fee is not even half of Wang Ben's, although he is extremely unhappy, but he is helpless.
If you have an opinion, there is no way, who makes Wang Ben's popularity higher than him?
The bout is scheduled for a month later, exactly a week after Anthony Donkin's second-heavyweight clash with Holyfield.
So, when the media got the word out about the event, all the fans went crazy and were looking forward to these two pinnacle fights.
Although the welterweight championship has a lot of influence compared to Wang Ben's cross-division fight.
But who gave Anthony Donkin a great father?
Before the boxing match began, the reporters went to Detroit to interview Horns, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.
In an interview with a reporter from "Boxing" magazine, when Horns talked about Wang Ben's cross-level challenge, it was obvious that he was very unhappy.
Especially when talking about the Chinese king's 25 million dollar appearance fee, his tone was so sour that people gritted their teeth, and said that the strength of the Chinese king was exaggerated by everyone, in fact, the weakness of the Chinese king is obvious, if he can have a boxing match with the Chinese king, he will definitely be able to defeat Wang Ben.
At the same time, he seemed to be trying to show that he was not talking nonsense, and directly said Wang Ben's weaknesses.
First of all, the Chinese king has a good physical strength, which has been verified by many boxing matches and cannot be refuted, however, his defense is not good, and even almost does not defend many times.
This situation is very effective against ordinary fighters, but once you encounter that kind of heavy gunner, the Chinese king's non-defensive style is easy to be counterattacked.
Horns is confident in his heavy punches and thinks he will be able to seize the opportunity to knock out the Chinese king if he fights him.
Second, the Chinese king has a lot of power, but every time he throws a heavy punch, he will take a half-step back, and if he can prevent it in advance, he can form a powerful counterattack.
In the end, Horns published his conclusion, feeling that Leonard would definitely be able to defeat the king of China if he could take advantage of the weakness of the king of China.
When Horns' report came out, many fans took a closer look at the characteristics of Wang's boxing.
Not to mention, the King of China is indeed like this, he rarely defends, and usually likes to launch fierce attacks, completely suppress opponents, and sweep all the way.
Of course, it is because of Wang Ben's boxing style that all fans like him, and the Chinese king can become the most popular boxing champion in the professional boxing world.
Regarding the second point, many fans have studied it and found that every time Wang Ben uses a special punch, he will take half a step back, which is exactly what Horns described.
Could it really be that these are the weaknesses of the king of China?
Perhaps Horns' analysis made some sense, causing fans who were originally very optimistic that Wang Ben could win easily, and hesitated.
Wang Ben couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Horns' interview report.
Depend on! Horns seems to be in need of repairs, and if he has the chance, he should be repaired.
However, although Wang Ben is very confident of defeating Leonard, he does not dare to guarantee that he will win 100%.
In professional boxing, strength is the key to victory, but no one can guarantee that there will be accidents.
Any boxing champion will have an upset and be accidentally taken down with a punch, which is common in the professional boxing world.
You must know that after middleweight, the strength of a fighter's heavy punches basically exceeds the limit of the human body, and once someone hits the vital point with a heavy punch, he is likely to be knocked down.
Although Wang Ben was not worried that he would be attacked by someone, he did not dare to take it lightly.
When the match was finalized, Wang Ben began to train continuously in the training room at his home in Los Angeles.
Because in Siberian training camps and underground boxing tournaments, leg techniques are used.
Accustomed to nature, Wang Ben is worried about using leg skills in professional boxing matches, and must always remind himself.
Yuan Zhengtu found a lot of Leonard's game tapes and accompanied Wang Ben to study the characteristics of the other party.
Leonard, Chinese New Year's Eve, began winning gold medals in the light welterweight division at the Montreal, Canada, Olympics at the age of twenty, and then turned professional.
Over the next fifteen years, Leonard swept all the way from welterweight to invincible opponents all over the world, and fought all the way to super middleweight, winning five divisions of boxing titles, and his strength was terrifying.
In the eighties, Leonard was known as the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, and the other three Heavenly Kings were all defeated by him.
In the ring, his boxing skills and strength are extremely ornamental, and he is known as a professional boxing performance artist.
His strength, skill, speed, and defense are all world-class.
In addition, Leonard has a record, he is the first boxing champion in professional boxing history to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in appearance fees, and his fame is unmatched in the 80s.
Wang Ben deliberately watched the video of Leonard's battle with the other three heavenly kings and studied it very carefully.
"His uncle, this guy is not easy to fight! The technology is too comprehensive! ”
After Wang Ben watched the videotape, he took a deep breath and was speechless for a long time.
Leonard's technique is superb, especially his speed and footwork, he can advance and retreat with ease, and his defensive skills are solid.
Among the four kings of the middleweight division, Leonard's defensive skills are the best, much better than the other three, don't look at him now at the age of thirty-five, but his physical fitness is extremely good, and he is more difficult than when he was younger.
Plus, Leonard's striking ability was unbeatable in the middleweight division, not to mention that now he's a super middleweight fighter, and it's hard to take him down with one punch.
You must know that when Leonard fought with Robert Duran, under Duran's ferocious attack, Leonard was able to hold on for fifteen rounds, and his body didn't know how many heavy punches Robert Duran had received, and finally beat Duran without the slightest temper.
With this kind of fighting ability, Wang Ben wants to knock him out within a round or two, which is very difficult.
"Leonard is the first of the four kings of the middleweight division in the 80s, this guy's offensive and defensive abilities have reached the extreme level of this level, and his skills are almost not weak, it seems that if I want to knock him out, I have to think about how to fight."
Wang Ben thought to himself for a moment, Leonard is different from Robert Duran, his offense is not as cold and brutal as Robert Duran, but it is very efficient.
That said, on a technical level, Leonard has a better chance of throwing punches than Robert Duran.
If you want to talk about Leonard's shortcomings, I am afraid that his heavy punch power is a little bit worse than the other three Heavenly Kings.
Wang Ben believes that if Leonard's heavy punches can surpass Marvi Hagler's, even light heavyweights won't be able to resist his challenge.
To be honest, Wang Ben didn't take Leonard seriously at all, but after studying Leonard's game video, Wang Ben began to pay attention to this game in his heart.
I have to pay attention to it, if you let your guard down, it is likely that the boat will capsize in the gutter.
Wang Ben felt that if he wanted to knock out Leonard, he had to use an oppressive style of play, beat him into a shrunken turtle, and destroy him all the way.
Playing with Leonard's skills, I am afraid that I will fall into the disadvantage, and against this kind of fighter with comprehensive skills and strong defense, you should use a storm-style fight.
Professional boxing is twelve rounds, and Wang Ben believes that no one can stop his fierce attack for twelve rounds, not to mention that Leonard can't stop it, even heavyweight fighters can't stop it.
Of course, if he is as fierce as Tyson, Wang Ben still doesn't dare to challenge.
He trained with Lewis and was almost collapsed by Lewis's heavy punches, the heavyweight fighter's heavy punches were too terrifying, with his current physical condition, he only fought with boxing, and the chance of winning was less than two percent.
This is a boxing fight, heavy legs are not allowed, and Wang Ben usually needs to use leg skills to deal with opponents who are taller and stronger than himself.
The strength of the leg is almost twice that of the fist, which exceeds the limit of the human body, and no matter what body size, it cannot withstand the attack of the killer heavy leg.
Didn't Horns say that he was poor defensively, so I wouldn't defend and use a storm offense to see if Leonard could resist?
As for taking a half-step back to form a killer punch, this is indeed a problem.
The special punch needs to be fused with dark energy, and the distance must be widened, so as to form a powerful destructive force.
However, every time he unleashed a special punch, it was only when the opportunity was good, and even if Leonard could be wary of himself taking a half-step back and unleashing a special punch, could he stop it?
Wang Ben felt that it was enough.
If his killer punches were so good to defend, Lewis wouldn't be training with Wang Ben right now.
