Chapter 266: The Tokyo Massacre
After knocking out Mavi Hagler within three rounds, Wang Ben didn't give a media interview and instead stepped up his training.
Jumping over to challenge BC middleweight champion Robert Duran is a tough fight that will have to go all out.
It was easy to beat Hagler, and the fight was settled within three rounds, but that doesn't mean it's just as easy to beat Robert Duran.
Wang Ben knows very well that it is not his own strength that can kill Mavi Hagler in seconds, but because of Yuan Zhengtu.
Yuan Zhengtu has been an assistant coach to Mavi Hagler for seven years, and he is well aware of Hagler's offensive characteristics and defensive weaknesses.
And before the game, according to the characteristics of Hagler, Wang Ben specially trained for a period of time, so it was easy to take Hagler down.
If you fight with real strength, even if Wang Ben can win, he will have to fight at least eight rounds later.
Stewart was very efficient and didn't spend much time struck a match deal with Robert Duran's agent.
Robert Duran's agent is Don King, as long as the appearance fee is high, with Wang Ben's current popularity, it is impossible for Don King to refuse.
The time was set, five months later, in August, and it was very hot.
The venue is interesting, not the United States, not Panama, but Tokyo, Japan.
Perhaps the American boxing organization wanted to promote boxing in Asia, so the organizers decided to set the venue for the competition in Tokyo, Japan.
For Stewart, Tokyo, Japan, is the most satisfying place for him to compete.
Not only is there a very strong boxing atmosphere in Tokyo, but it is also Asian, which is very helpful for the promotion of boxing.
What's more, the Japanese have money!
Fans who can go to the scene to watch the boxing championship must have money, and the place is too poor to hold this kind of boxing championship.
However, the appearance fee has to be talked about, because Wang Ben knocked out Mavi Hagler across the division, so when he challenged Robert Duran again, the appearance fee rose to 18 million US dollars.
Robert Duran's appearance fee is $12 million.
After all, Wang Ben's current popularity and appeal in the professional boxing world far surpass Robert Duran.
Although Robert Duran has a lot of opinions about his appearance fee being lower than Wang Ben, he is helpless.
Who makes Wang Ben's popularity more than himself now, and he can get 12 million US dollars in appearance fees, all of which are stained with Wang Ben's light.
This appearance fee is the highest in Robert Duran's career, and if it weren't for Wang Ben, the middleweight fighter would not have been able to exceed $10 million.
Another thing is also a coincidence.
Tyson's showdown with challenger Douglas is scheduled for July, also in Tokyo, Japan, and only twenty days before the match between Wang Ben and Robert Duran.
Tyson's title defense match was nearly half a year later than in his previous life, so Wang Ben could not make a judgment on the result of the game.
Douglas is not well-known in professional boxing, to be honest, he is not very strong.
Many fans thought Tyson would knock out Douglas in five rounds, including the media.
Wang Ben doesn't know if Tyson will be like in his previous life, he was knocked to the ground by Douglas in the tenth round, breaking the biggest upset in professional boxing.
The current boxing champion Tyson is completely different from his previous life, he has not fired his coach, and there is not much lace news.
Therefore, Wang Ben is a little confused about Tyson, and he really doesn't dare to guarantee that Douglas will defeat Tyson at his peak like in his previous life.
Because Wang Ben vs Robert Duran and Tyson vs Douglas are both held in Tokyo, Japan.
That's why fans call these two pinnacle matchups "Tokyo Massacre!" ”
There's no doubt that these two pinnacle fights will capture the attention of fans around the world.
Asia, Europe, the Americas, etc., the world's top ten well-known media have bought the broadcast rights of these two boxing matches, and the publicity scale of the boxing matches is unprecedentedly grand.
Wang Ben unified all three divisions, dominated both divisions, and defeated the four kings of the middleweight division, Mavi Hagler, so many Japanese fans adore him.
Japan is a very strange people, they worship the strong!
Although from the bottom of their hearts, the Japanese are very proud and look down on people from other Asian countries, but Wang Ben is an exception.
Just like Bruce Lee, the Japanese adore Bruce Lee so much!
The appearance fee for these two big battles is very high, but the organizers will definitely not lose money, and the revenue from tickets alone can protect the capital, and the organizers can make a lot of money from TV broadcasts and advertising revenue.
This is also the reason why the more famous the professional boxing world, the higher the appearance fee.
There's only one reason, the audience likes it!
Wang Ben trained hard every day, never slacking off and being lazy, and on this day, a young man came to the door.
This young man is Zhang Junlong, who has recently become a professional boxer.
Zhang Junlong's strength is good, but he lacks experience in the game, so Wang Ben introduced him to Yuan Zhengtu and asked Yuan Zhengtu to help guide him.
In order to improve his performance, Zhang Junlong must often conduct actual combat training, and Wang Ben personally guided him in training and served as his sparring partner.
Bang!
The two were in the ring, and Zhang Junlong was knocked down by Wang Ben with a punch.
"You have too many extra moves in your hands, why do you need such a large range of attacks in an uppercut, the result is that it is easy to be hit by a counterattack box, you should ...... like this"
Zhang Junlong listened carefully to Wang Ben's guidance, and he felt that he was very lucky to be able to get Wang Ben's guidance in the United States.
Although his weight is much heavier than Wang Ben, he only understood Wang Ben's terrible in the ring, and with his strength, he couldn't fight Wang Ben for a round.
"In the ring, your purpose is to defeat the opponent, I see that you must have practiced martial arts before, the movements are very fast, but there are a lot of fancy moves, this needs to be changed, you need to practice the basics of boxing from scratch, yes, it is the basic footwork and boxing of boxing......"
Wang Ben tirelessly pointed out Zhang Junlong, everyone is Chinese, of course he hopes that Zhang Junlong can have some achievements in professional boxing.
Zhang Junlong listened humbly and constantly corrected his shortcomings in boxing.
For a whole afternoon, while Wang Ben was training by himself, he began to serve as Zhang Junlong's sparring partner, and every time Zhang Junlong was knocked down by Wang Ben, Wang Ben had to point out his shortcomings and ask him to correct them.
When the training was over, Wang Ben took off his boxing gloves and said with a smile: "Okay, that's the end of today, you first practice the basics, our Chinese martial arts pay attention to step by step, not afraid of a thousand moves, just afraid of a trick, for boxing is actually the same, greedy and chewy, this is every boxer's taboo." ”
Zhang Junlong nodded, he had also practiced national art before, and he knew the truth very well.
Wang Ben continued: "You have to remember that you can imitate my style in the ring, but you have to have a heavy punch that kills with one hit, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get good results in professional boxing,"
Zhang Junlong frowned and said, "Kill and punch? ”
Wang Ben said: "In fact, it is a super heavy punch, a heavy punch that can knock the opponent to the ground with one punch, which requires punch timing, as well as strength and ring experience, the heavy punches of light heavyweight fighters are generally very strong, if it is a boxing king, their strength is even more than me, so you must force practice." ”
After speaking, Wang Ben stepped forward and patted Zhang Junlong on the shoulder and said: "Junlong, you remember, professional boxing is a place that pays attention to strength, and fans like heroes, tough guys, and don't like those opportunistic soft eggs, so in the boxing ring, you have to do your best to knock out your opponent." ”
When Zhang Junlong left, Yuan Zhengtu said suspiciously: "Wang Ben, why do you guide him so hard?" This will affect your training. ”
"It's okay, everyone is Chinese, I hope he can become famous in the professional boxing world, everyone has a dream, I hope he can dream come true, maybe this is fate, do my best, I can help." Wang Ben smiled.
"Since you say so, I don't have anything more to say,"
Just as Wang Ben was actively preparing for a boxing championship match with Robert Duran, in an apartment in San Francisco, USA, a conversation was taking place at this time.
