Chapter 309: You can't be humble for a while
After Wang Ben returned home, he didn't think about Hongmen anymore.
For the people in the community, he has a kind of rejection in his bones.
In these three months, he began to gain weight, so there was no competition, in order to adapt to the state after the body gained weight, Wang Ben asked Yuan Zhengtu to help find a sparring partner.
During this time, there is a heavyweight fighter who has come into everyone's attention and attracted widespread attention, and he is heavyweight boxer Lennox Lewis.
Lewis's strength has improved very quickly, his tall stature and lion-like momentum are invincible in the ring.
Since Wang Ben and Lewis are both fighters under Stewart's name, and there was a recent fight between Lewis vs. Jean Nasha.
In order to improve Lewis's competitive level, Stewart thought of Wang Ben, hoping that Wang Ben could help improve Lewis's skills.
The king of P4P!
This title represents the highest honor in professional boxing, even if Wang Ben wants to be modest.
Stewart's purpose is clear, he wants Lewis to rise in the heavyweight division and then beat Tyson!
From a technical point of view, if there are still people in the professional boxing world whose skill level can be higher than Tyson, only Wang Ben.
Wang Ben's offense is very similar to Tyson's, both of which are sweeping all the way to destroy the opponent.
Especially Wang Ben's ferocious and aggressive style of play is even more fierce than Tyson.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Wang Ben's playing style is much richer than Tyson's, he can fight positional warfare, guerrilla warfare, and even balance his left and right hands, and his endurance is extremely amazing.
Wang Ben was looking for a sparring partner at this time, and when he heard that he had asked him to help improve Lewis's skills, his face suddenly smiled.
Isn't this guy Lewis the best sparring partner?
As soon as he thought of this future boxing hegemon, Wang Ben was very excited.
Of course, Lewis is 196cm tall and weighs more than 100KG, and it is simply unrealistic for Wang Ben to want to take him down in the boxing ring.
Fighters below middleweight are not on the same level as heavyweights at all, whether it's strength or striking ability.
In order to be able to perform at the level of the two, Wang Ben asked for a 5cm-thick bolster to be added to Lewis's gloves to limit his heavy punch power to below middleweight.
If you want to improve your strength, you can only fight!
Without adding pads to his gloves, Wang Ben didn't think he could take down Lewis's punches.
With the strength of this lion, even if it comes down with a punch, Wang Ben is afraid that he will have to lie down.
Fighters below the middleweight division, regardless of speed and technical level, are actually higher than heavyweight fighters, and they are physically flexible and agile!
But in the professional boxing world, the popularity of heavyweight fighters is much higher than those below middleweight.
The main reason is the ability to punch hard and resist punches.
Few fighters below the middleweight division can resist the heavy punches of heavyweights.
This is also the reason why many professional boxing supermasters dare not challenge at will.
If you don't consider the weight factor, Wang Ben and Lewis will be able to gain the upper hand with their quick reflexes and physical flexibility if they are trained in actual combat, but if they are hit by Lewis's heavy punches, they will have to bear it, and they will fall to the ground at least and be sent to the hospital at worst.
Wang Ben is not yet middleweight, how can he stop heavyweight Lewis's heavy punches?
Therefore, when the two were engaged in actual combat training, Lewis had to wear pads on his hands, and Wang Ben wore protective gear on the vital parts of his body, just like amateur boxing, to prevent injuries during training.
The place where the two trained was in the Kroenke Club's gym in Los Angeles, and there were many onlookers around.
One of them, a teenager, stared incredulously at the actual combat training of the two in the ring, his eyes wide open.
Wang Ben gained five pounds and is now 151.5 pounds, which belongs to the super welterweight class, while Lewis is 240 pounds, and the difference between the two is dozens of kilograms, and the difference in height is also 10cm.
To be honest, if you just look at the scene, this black kid feels like his father taught him boxing, and the two are too far apart in rank.
However, the situation on the scene was fierce, and what shocked him was that the little man who looked thin was on par with the big man, and even had an advantage.
The child was born in a boxing family, of course he knew Wang Ben, and he was a die-hard fan of Wang Ben and admired Wang Ben very much.
But in any case, he couldn't imagine that Wang Ben would be inseparable from the heavyweight boxer, his speed was very fast, his attack was fierce, and his domineering side leaked.
Lewis, who looked like a lion, was completely suppressed by Wang Ben and could only rely on his strong body to constantly defend.
To be honest, the scene at this time completely subverted the cognition of children, is there no weight class in boxing?
Lewis's technique was completely inadequate in front of Wang Ben, and his jab and straight punches were easily avoided by Wang Ben, while Wang Ben's fists often hit his strong muscles.
The two trained for two rounds in actual combat, and Lewis was turned around by Wang Ben and failed to hit an effective punch, while Wang Ben's fists hit him at least twenty or thirty punches.
The child really feels incredible, Lewis is not particularly famous now, but his physical advantage is so obvious, it seems that his strength is not low, but Wang Ben can completely suppress the heavyweight boxer?
Could it be that this is the strength of his idol King China? Has he been able to take on heavyweights?
Oh my God, it's horrible!
A middle-aged man next to him patted the child's shoulder and said with a smile, "Are you scared?" ”
The child nodded and said in a low voice: "Father, can the Chinese king challenge the heavyweight boxing champion Tyson across the divisions?" ”
"Silly boy, Lewis is a very strong heavyweight fighter, and the Chinese king seems to have the upper hand, that's because Lewis wears a thick cushion on his hands, and he can't form a heavy punch attack, and you see that although he is not as flexible as the Chinese king, the Chinese king doesn't have a good way to take him, the Chinese king's heavy punches can't hit his body, and his defense is very good."
The child observed carefully for a moment, and suddenly said, "No wonder this is so, it scared me to death!" ”
"You look at Lewis again, he behaved very calmly, although he has been suppressed by the Chinese king, but he has been looking for opportunities, if the two are a real boxing match, the Chinese king can't last two rounds, as long as he is hit by Lewis's punch, I'm afraid he will have to fall, the heavyweight boxer's heavy punch power has exceeded the limit of human beings, even if the Chinese king unifies the four levels, he can't block the heavyweight boxer's heavy punch."
Then, the middle-aged man said with a smile: "But the king of China is indeed very powerful, his adaptability is terrible, yesterday he was knocked down by Lewis in actual combat training with Lewis, and he almost couldn't get up, today he can fight with Lewis like this, I'm afraid there is no second person in the professional boxing world." ”
The child looked at Wang Ben in the ring intently, and asked his father: "Father, the Chinese king is only now in the welterweight division, if he is promoted to the middleweight division, with his strength, who will dare to challenge him?" ”
"Hehe, there are a lot of middleweight masters, but there are very few fighters who can pose a threat to the Chinese king, and you have to learn his boxing style and ability to control the fight, this kind of opportunity is rare."
The little boy nodded, carefully watching Wang Ben's actual combat training.
Lewis was playing with a lot of fire and was in a bad mood.
Once he entered the professional world, he had a smooth ride and soon made it to the top 15 in the heavyweight world rankings and get a chance to fight the king of boxing.
His goal is to defeat current professional boxing hegemon Mike Tyson, but Stewart has allowed himself to learn from the Chinese king.
What's there to learn?
Truth be told, although Wang Ben's achievements are high, from ultra-lightweight to middleweight, unifying the four divisions, Lewis doesn't take him seriously.
A fighter who is five levels inferior to himself is believed that no one will take it very seriously.
However, when the two of them had actual combat training, he understood Stewart's good intentions.
The Chinese king is too difficult to fight, once the thick pads limit his heavy punches, he is not the opponent of the Chinese king, how can he not be depressed?
This guy is incredibly fast, has super reflexes, fortunately his muscles are strong, and although the power of the Chinese king's fists is very heavy, he has not reached the level of a heavyweight boxing champion, otherwise he is afraid that he will be knocked down countless times!
The two of them trained for a week, and Lewis was able to hit Wang Ben once or twice in the first few days, but in the past two days, he has only been beaten.
Even if Lewis is a real lion, he will be furious when he is constantly bombarded with heavy punches by Wang Ben.
No one wants to be beaten, and Lewis doesn't want to be beaten like this all the time, he has received a lot of punches in the face and swollen eye sockets in the past two days.
