Chapter 195: "Storm-style" Fierce Fighting

After two days of negotiations, the cross-level battle between Wang Ben and Virtek was finally decided.

The time was a month later.

Before that can do so, though, Wang Ben needs to defend his title in the ultra-lightweight division.

The location of this cross-level battle is Las Vegas, a casino in the western part of the United States.

With fame and fan enthusiasm, the cross-division battle is attracting a lot of attention, and will be broadcast live on all major cable pay TV channels in the United States, as well as on world-renowned television stations.

Wang Ben's appearance fee broke his own history, reaching a whopping $8 million, while Virtak's appearance fee was $6 million.

It can be seen that although Wang Ben's popularity is super high, Virtek is the boxing champion with the gold belt of the two major boxing organizations BC and BA, and his influence is not much weaker than Wang Ben.

What's more, he's a welterweight champion, one level higher than Wang Ben.

The two fought this boxing match, and the appearance fee was as high as 14 million US dollars, breaking the record for the appearance fee of a fighter below middleweight.

Of course, the appearance fee is high, the organizers have to make money, and the wool is out of the sheep, so the tickets for this boxing match are very expensive, and the TV broadcast fee has also increased a lot.

Wang Ben is now one of the most popular fighters in professional boxing, especially since he has always been extremely arrogant and has a lot of topics.

Of course, it's all built on super strength, and the King of Knockouts, a title that no one can earn, and unless he's defeated, his popularity will only keep rising.

So as soon as the tickets were launched, they sold out quickly, and even many fans did not buy tickets, which made the organizers happy.

After the cross-level battle between Wang Ben and Virtak was confirmed, before the press conference was held, another news from the media surprised everyone.

Anyone who heard the news was scared!

Not only the United States, but even fans around the world were stunned by this news.

It's not because Wang Ben's appearance fee is scared, in the professional boxing world, Wang Ben's appearance fee is not outrageous compared with those king-level gods, but the challenge object of Wang Ben's next game has been finalized.

Ike Quarthai!

The super welterweight BA champion agreed to Wang Ben's cross-division challenge.

In other words, if Wang Ben can defeat Vitak across divisions, he will face Ike Quaday in the super welterweight division, spanning three divisions!

What's even more surprising is that if Wang can defeat Vitak, he will dominate both divisions, and next up is Ike Quartet, and he will have three divisions of gold at the same time.

What's more, it's all within three months, and it's scary to think about.

The only fighter in the history of professional boxing to hold three different divisions of world title at the same time is Henry Armstrong.

From 1937 to 1939, Armstrong, known as the "Tornado", became the bantamweight, lightweight and welterweight champion of all three divisions.

If Wang Ben can win all three divisions of boxing at the same time, and unify the super lightweight and welterweight divisions, then he will become a legend in the professional boxing world.

The global media is discussing this matter, and this matter has caused a storm in the professional boxing world, and the core of this storm is Wang Ben.

However, Wang Ben did not pay attention to the media reports, and after winning Hagen, Wang Ben returned to his home in Los Angeles, refused all media interviews, closed himself off, and began to concentrate on training to ensure his game status.

Since the fight with Hagen, Wang Ben is still a little dissatisfied with his strength.

Footwork with your feet!

The footwork of boxing is combined with the Bagua Youlong step, although it is weird and varied, but it still lacks a domineering spirit, which is a little different from his boxing style.

If you don't feel it deeply when you fight with ordinary fighters, but once you meet a fighter like Hagen, the shortcomings in the middle come out, so the fight with Hagen is very hard.

In the professional boxing world, the most famous boxing footwork is the butterfly dance of boxing champion Ali.

Heavyweights are usually tall and heavy-weighted, but boxing champion Ali doesn't feel bulky at all, and his flowing footwork is like a butterfly fluttering among the flowers.

Ali is 1.91 meters tall and weighs a heavyweight, but his footwork is not bad at all compared to that of a small-level boxer, his footwork is smart, he circles around his opponent, dances, and bursts into a thunderous blow as soon as he finds an opportunity.

With the unique skill of butterfly dancing, boxing champion Ali beat the invincible opponents all over the world in the 60s and made a name for himself.

In fact, Ali's butterfly dance steps are a bit similar to the seven-star flower piercing steps in Xingyi Boxing.

The essentials of the seven-star flower walk: step like a meteor, body like a dragon, dodge like the wind, hit thunder! The footwork of the foot matches the fist, which requires flexibility and casualness.

Wang Ben has practiced butterfly dance steps, and he has practiced very well, since he practiced boxing, he has been very interested in butterfly dance steps, especially the Seven Stars through the flower step integrated into the butterfly dance step, he found that his butterfly dance steps are faster and smoother.

In fact, the footwork of boxing is very simple, but in order to achieve the realm of both offense and defense, and smooth footwork, it must be practiced hard.

Of course, to achieve the realm of freewheeling like boxing champion Ali, hard training is not enough, but talent is needed.

In fact, in any sport, talent is very important, just like playing the piano, some people can't become a first-class pianist after learning the piano for a lifetime, while some people learn a little and make rapid progress.

Wang Ben has no shortage of talent and is also very interested, but when he practiced the butterfly dance steps very skillfully, he found that this footwork was not suitable for him.

Truth be told, the butterfly dance is somewhat similar to guerrilla tactics, constantly moving, and then looking for opportunities to see the stitches.

The classic boxing philosophy is "hit the opponent and don't get hit", and this butterfly dance step of boxing champion Ali shows this boxing philosophy vividly.

Wang Ben doesn't like this style of fighting, he likes the Mexican fighter's style.

Hunt down and destroy your opponents!

Mexico's style of play, known as the "storm" style of play, advocates offense, believes that destroying the opponent is the most successful defense, and constantly improves the physical intensity of their opponents and accelerates the pace of attack and defense.

This storm style of play does not require too fancy movement, and the defensive stance is completely convenient for punching, and the distance is generally medium and long-range.

Wang Ben in the boxing ring, the most threatening is the powerful combination of punches and the back hand heavy straight punch, these two boxing methods are fused with fist strength, the attack firepower is fierce, the punch rhythm is fast, the strong attack is fierce, and the opponent is destroyed again and again, and whether it is offensive and defensive, the blows are one after another, wave after wave, so that the opponent can not breathe, and finally can only enter Wang Ben's attack rhythm.

Therefore, when he found that his boxing style did not match, Wang Ben thought that he must have his own footwork.

If you keep using the agile footwork of the butterfly dance steps, it will be difficult for you to win once you encounter a fighter who is flexible and constantly fighting.

Wang Ben's specialty is obvious, which is to go on a rampage, once he gets close to him, he will hit a powerful combination punch, and if the opponent is weak, the opponent will collapse when he charges down.

This style of play works very well, of course, the only thing required for this style of play is strength, and only by exceeding the strength of the opponent's striking can it destroy all opponents.

Imitating others can be a temporary success, but if you want to keep it for a long time, you have to have your own style.

What's right for you is the best!

Therefore, Wang Ben kept thinking and wanted to find a footwork that suited him.
