Chapter 27: Classmates and Boys
It's actually true to say this, the real professional boxing champion can't fight a few boxing fights in a year, just like Mike Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, the boxing hegemons who were in the ascendancy in the 90s, only fight a few boxing fights a year.
The biggest difference between professional boxing and amateur boxing is that professional boxing is completely commercial, with only one purpose, to make money!
And when a fighter participates in a competition, no matter what the result is, as long as he enters the arena and does not violate the rules of the game, even if he loses the game, he can also get the appearance fee agreed by both parties in advance.
How much appearance fee you can get is completely determined by your fame and influence in the boxing world. Typically, heavyweights have the highest appearance fees, followed by middleweights, and below lightweight.
But this is just to say that the boxing champion, ordinary boxer, if he wants to be qualified to challenge the boxing champion, he must go through countless qualifying battles, defeat all the best fighters in the same level, improve his ranking to the top 15 in the world, and expand his influence in the boxing world before he has a chance.
It's not that you can fight whoever you want to challenge, professional boxing matches depend on the excitement of the game, but also on the fame of the two people on the field, only in this way will the audience buy it and be willing to pay to watch the game.
At this time, the university was still sixty years old, and there was no credit system at all, Wang Ben didn't dare to say that he was the first in his studies, but sixty points was not much of a problem, so he had the confidence to fight boxing while going to college.
As for why he wants to go to college, he has another thought in his heart, in China, if he has not gone to college, he will become a shortcoming in life after becoming a star, and he can learn a lot of things in college.
It's like English, he can't understand it now, although he took the English level 6 test in his previous life, but if he wants to go to the United States to fight professional boxing, this English level is definitely not enough.
"It's too dangerous to box, Wang Ben, I remember watching TV two years ago that there was a Korean boxer who was beaten to death in the ring, and finally his mother couldn't stand it and committed suicide, this incident is very sensational, if you are killed in the ring, what should Grandpa Sun do alone?"
Fan Zhiming said with some concern.
Wang Ben nodded, sighed and said: "There is really no good end to boxing, if you are in the ring for a long time, even if you don't die, you will be injured, especially your head, if you are often hit by boxing, you will form Parkinson's symptoms when you are older, but in life, you must always pursue a little, if you want to reduce the damage, you can only become stronger." And now that the rules of the game have changed, there are very few things that kill people in the boxing ring, not to mention that there is no danger in doing anything? ”
As for the Korean fighter being beaten to death in the ring, it was just an accident that happened in '82.
The South Korean fighter, Kim Deok-koo, is the lightweight champion of the Eastern Pacific Boxing Association with an 18-1 record, and when he traveled to the United States to compete in the boxing championship, he wrote a blood letter vowing to win the world's professional lightweight belt.
"It's a fight to the death, and either I'll take out Mancini in the ring or I'll be killed by him."
With the idea of not succeeding, Jin Dejiu trained very hard, but the result was regrettable, after the two fought to the thirteenth round, Jin Dejiu was obviously stunned, and his face was swollen.
Heading into the fourteenth round, Mancini threw a trance-stricken Kim to his stomach, and Kim tried to get up, but eventually collapsed and died in the hospital.
In the end, the World Boxing Organization was under pressure to revise the rules of boxing from a 15-round system to a 12-round system, and also made the boxing gloves regulated, increasing the cushioning force of the boxing gloves to reduce the damage.
Although the rules of the game have been changed, boxing, a confrontational and vigorous sport, is unavoidable from being injured and disabled, and if you want to avoid injury, you can only become stronger.
Wang Ben cares more about his life than anyone else, he is a person who has died once.
However, people live in the world, any profession is dangerous, Yawei may break and fall to death during filming, and singing is the same, I remember that one of his favorite singers in his previous life fell off the high platform and died while singing.
However, it was strange to him that after coming to this world, he didn't find the name of the singer, and according to the point in time, the late eighties was the time when the singer and his band dominated the music scene.
Is there no Huang Jiaju in this world? Or Huang Jiaju has not been born yet, and the time is misplaced? Wang Ben checked a lot of information and found that there is really no such person as Huang Jiaju in the pop music world.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Ben could only think that there was a dislocation in time, or it couldn't be explained at all.
Wang Ben's choice of boxing was deliberate, not a sudden whim.
People fight for a lifetime, and the grass and trees are autumn! You must be fearless in everything you do, move forward bravely, retreat is the behavior of the weak, and never want to mix up.
"I read in the newspaper that you are going to participate in the National Amateur Boxing Tournament in Portugal in November, is it true?" Fan Zhiming asked.
"That's right, I was qualified to participate in this South China Boxing Championship." Wang Ben nodded.
"After a while, I will also go to the provincial football team for training, and I may not have time to watch you play at that time."
"It's okay, Zhiming, believe me, I'll definitely get the championship trophy back then." Wang Ben smiled.
The other students filled up the beer and began to pour it in turns, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
"Wang Ben, what are we going to do for dinner?" The one who spoke was Li Jun, the captain of the school football team, who had a very good family condition, liked to play football, was very cheerful, and had a good relationship with the classmates present.
In Wang Ben's words, Li Jun is a rich second generation, his family is rich and powerful, in fact, the rich second generation is not all brain-dead, Li Jun's grades are very good, and he is also very righteous, which is completely different from the arrogant and domineering rich second generation in his previous life.
"What can you do at such a late hour? Brother Jun, what's your good place? Wang Ben said with a smile.
"It's rare to be so happy today, why don't we go to the karaoke hall and sing?" Li Jun said.
"Singing?" Wang Ben's eyes lit up, to be honest, he had been in this world for so long, and he hadn't had a chance to sing in a karaoke hall.
In his previous life, he sang in a bar and sang all kinds of songs well, but after coming here, he found that his voice was better than before, and the treble could go up to the extreme.
"Don't worry, I won't let you break the bank again, I know a karaoke hall, the facilities and decoration are great, I have a VIP membership card, wait for us to go there to play." Li Jun said with a smile.
In the late eighties, the karaoke hall was a relatively high-end thing, and the karaoke hall in Yangcheng was transmitted from Hong Kong Island and Portugal, and the consumption inside was very high, not something that ordinary high school students could afford, and Li Jun had a VIP card, it is conceivable that Li Jun's family background was definitely not ordinary, and the family was very rich.
There is such a fun thing, of course, everyone will not object, and more importantly, it does not cost money. The students of the school football team, after all, do not have much money in the family, and many of them have never seen a karaoke hall, so they want to see it.
