Tyson vs Holmes

This heavyweight title defense has attracted the attention of fans around the world, and more than 1,000 reporters rushed to Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas to interview Tyson and Holmes live.

Moreover, the number of viewers of pay TV in the United States is close to the highest record of the original Tyson Unification War.

Since Tyson unified the heavyweight division of professional boxing, he has become the unprecedented super boxing champion in professional boxing, which even the boxing champion Ali has not reached.

Of course, due to the different eras, in the era of boxing champion Ali, BA is the leader of professional boxing, while BC's fame is not particularly conspicuous, and IBF has not been established.

Now Tyson is the hegemon of professional boxing, since the retirement of boxing champion Ali, a full ten years of blank time, finally appeared a strong fierce man, it is difficult not to attract everyone's attention.

At present, there are two professional boxing champions who are as famous as the sky, and they are the hottest super names, the first is the heavyweight boxing champion Tyson, since the unification of the professional boxing heavyweight, there is a feeling of being alone and seeking defeat, and the second is the Chinese boxing champion Wang Ben, although the level is only welterweight, but it has unified two levels in a row, and it is a full KO record, which is terrifying.

Tyson defended his title, and the pressure on Holmes was greater than that of Tyson.

Whether it is popularity or appearance fees, Tyson occupies the highest point, he is now at the peak of his form, and few people can play the whole game with him.

Holmes is older than Tyson and can already retire.

Perhaps in order to dispel Holmes' dream of winning the boxing title again, Donkin selected Holmes from many challengers to defend Tyson's title, also because of Holmes' age.

To put it mildly, it is to bully him for his age, Tyson defends his title, Don King doesn't want Tyson's status to be shaken, so he chooses Holmes, who is very famous, but his physical fitness and condition are declining.

In this title defense, Tyson's appearance fee is 18 million US dollars, and he has not yet reached the peak of 30 million US dollars at this time.

However, this appearance fee was a sky-high appearance fee in the early nineties, and although Wang Ben is also very famous, he has not exceeded 10 million US dollars so far.

Of course, here is the court fee, excluding other reward income, like the last fight with Muay Thai king Mengchai, Wang Ben's income was close to 70 million US dollars.

As for Holmes' appearance fee, it's only two million dollars.

Pre-match estimates and bookmakers' predictions suggest that Holmes has less than a 30% chance of winning.

Oddly enough, though, all fans hope that Holmes can win, perhaps out of respect for the old champion, although that hope is a bit harder.

Amid everyone's cheers, heavyweight superstar Tyson and veteran boxing champion Holmes went toe-to-toe in the ring.

Tyson took off his shirt, showed his strong muscles, kept jumping and warming up, and looked very good, but Tyson was still very hard at this time and was not hollowed out.

Holmes' face was covered with a thick layer of Vaseline, and his face was expressionless.

Boxing champion Ali sat below, with a hint of encouragement on his face, Holmes used to be Ali's sparring partner, and the two were very familiar and considered best friends.

Although he has retired, seeing that Holmes is still fighting in the ring at the age of forty, Ali has some emotion in his heart.

Ali also wanted to stand in the ring again, but he looked at his hands, which were a little uncontrollable, Parkinson's disease had been tormenting him, and now let alone boxing on the stage, even his normal life was affected.

Bite!

The first round begins.

Although he is forty-one years old, Holmes is not intimidated by facing Tyson.

In professional boxing, Holmes was synonymous with toughness, and in 1978, Holmes challenged then-BC heavyweight champion Ken Norton for the first time, and the two sides fought fifteen rounds before Holmes won by a narrow margin.

You must know that Ken Norton is not a rookie boxing champion, he is a famous heavy-handed killer who defeated boxing champion Ali, but Ken Norton is also a wonder in the world professional boxing world, this guy is very sad, the boxing champion challenge and defense of the title has not won a game, and won the only "one down" honor in boxing history.

Holmes' most glorious battle was against boxing champion Ali in 1980.

At that time, boxing champion Ali made his fourth comeback, and although he was seriously ill, he still refused to admit defeat and felt that he could fight again.

Unfortunately, in the ring, Ali became Holmes's punching bag, and was crumbling by his former sparring partner, and finally had to give up the fight.

At the same time, this bout is also the first time in his life that the champion Ali has been judged to have withdrawn from the fight due to a technical knockout.

At this moment, facing the young Tyson, Holmes was not timid, moved forward bravely, and constantly used jabs to approach Tyson.

Tyson's height is very short compared to Holmes, but his speed is not low, especially the peek-a-boo play, which is very impactful.

After just ten seconds, Tyson began to launch a powerful attack, a cobra-like left jab, a series of strikes, followed by heavy hooks and hooks to form a chain of combinations.

At his peak, Tyson's boxing style was able to break people.

Speed, punch rhythm, foot pace, punch power, everything is the pinnacle of professional boxing, especially punching power and speed, so to speak, in Tyson's peak, he surpassed any fighter and is known as a symbol of professional boxing.

It's a pity that Tyson's domineering crushing momentum is the only thing missing that prevents him from dominating the professional boxing heavyweight division for a longer period of time.

This kind of thing is stamina!

After data analysis, a boxing expert said that if Tyson could ensure that he could train every day, he would definitely be able to dominate the professional boxing world for more than ten years, but this guy actually vented his physical strength on the woman, and finally his body was hollowed out, resulting in a rapid decline in state.

The biggest feature of Tyson's boxing is that it is clean and neat, and the most common is to sweep the opponent like a storm, and kill the opponent in one or two rounds.

As soon as the game began, Tyson's advantage became very clear.

Holmes was beaten to the point where he couldn't fight back, and could only keep retreating and defending.

Age is not useless, at least very experienced, although Tyson's offense is very ferocious, but Holmes's defense is leaky, and he can withstand Tyson's offense.

By the end of the first round, Tyson was in complete control of the pace of the bout, but there was no knockout of Holmes.

The same was true in the second round, with Holmes defending with his arms crossed and a smooth pace at his feet, which was so similar to the style of King Ali that Tyson's offense did little real damage.

This was followed by the third round, the fourth round......

If Holmes can keep this form all the time, Tyson may not be able to do anything about him.

Unfortunately, his age was not destined to last long.

The outcome of the bout remained unchanged from Wang's previous life, and in the fourth round, Tyson landed a combination of punches and then a heavy punch that knocked Holmes out.

Wang Ben, who was sitting in the audience, watched Tyson raise his hands and listen to the cheers of all the audience, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

is worthy of being a heavyweight overlord, this boxing style is too domineering!

In terms of fame, although his fame is not much weaker than Tyson, he is a welterweight after all, and he still has a long way to go if he wants to become the hegemon of professional boxing.

For some reason, Wang Ben suddenly remembered the four kings of the middleweight division.

At this time, he suddenly had another impulse to cross the two divisions and challenge the four kings of the middleweight division now.

The four kings of the middleweight division, who is better to fight?

Duran?

Mavi Hagler?

Or is it Leonard?

However, now that Leonard is the super middleweight champion, the challenge span is too big now, and unless he gains weight to middleweight, Leonard may not accept the challenge.

At this moment, Wang Ben suddenly saw the bald head Mavi Hagler, who was sitting in the audience talking and laughing, looking proud.

"Damn, just choose Mavi Hagler, wait for Lao Tzu to defeat Quartet, and then unify the super welterweight division, while the weight is still in the welterweight division, Lao Tzu will take Mavi Hagler, this bald head actually fired Coach Yuan's squid, then brother is welcome, you are unlucky!"

Wang Ben looked at Mavi Hagler with a sneer in his eyes.
