Chapter 60: Yuichi Kameda
The "Red Stadium" stadium was full today, and many fans did not buy tickets, so they could only watch the live broadcast on TV in the bar or hotel.
It was the last day of the Asian Boxing Championships, with finals at all levels.
The first bout is the 48kg class, which is called the mini class if you look at professional boxing, and it is a boxing match specially set up for small people.
Wang Ben remembers that in his previous life, there were two domestic boxers who won the world boxing championship belt, and their level was mini, namely the first "Little Bear" Xiong Chaozhong to win the world boxing championship and the two-time Olympic champion Zou Minmin.
In fact, there are highlights in every level of boxing, and although the mini-class does not look so exciting, it is still very technical.
In the 48kg mini-class, there are not many knockouts, and when they do, they usually only come at the end of the fight when the fighter is exhausted, unlike middleweight and heavyweight bouts.
Middleweight or above boxers, the strength has exceeded the limit of the human body, as long as the timing of the punch is accurate, usually a combination of punches can be the opponent down, mini-level boxers are difficult to KO opponents in terms of strength, think about it, a boxer of less than 100 pounds, his strength can only KO the opponent unless 100% of the effect is on the opponent, but the effective punch power that can reach 100% in the game depends on the strength of the opponent, but also depends on luck.
In this 48kg competition, the two fighters are Japanese fighters and Thai fighters.
As a result, they fought four rounds, and the final points were scored, and the Japanese fighter won the title.
In the finals of each level, there is only one Chinese boxer, and his name is Wang Ben. Hong Kong Island fighter Cao Xingru was eliminated in the third round of the finals, but for Hong Kong Island fighters, reaching the quarterfinals is a great achievement.
Finally, when the 60kg competition was over, it was the turn of the 63.5kg class.
Wang Ben's opponent is a fighter named Yuichi Kameda, who knows by name that he is from Japan.
In the 80s, Japan was a sports powerhouse, especially in boxing and mixed martial arts competitions, and Japan was almost recognized as the number one in Asia.
In the world of martial arts, Japan is known as one of the three major martial arts powers, and there are many professional fighters, and the number of people who have won the world championship is definitely the first in Asia.
Of course, there are historical reasons for this, as early as a few decades ago, there were boxing competitions in Japan, and any powerful fighting skills in the world, Japan would introduce them, and then start to learn and learn from each other's strengths, so boxing and martial arts in Japan developed very quickly.
What's more, Japan is the first country in Asia to organize boxing and fighting competitions, which is very important, boxing cannot last long just by hobby, and if there is boxing matches, there will be money, and if there is money, more people will start practicing boxing and martial arts.
This is how professionalism is created, a virtuous circle, and the level of boxing and martial arts will definitely gradually improve.
And in Japan, the threshold for professionalism is very low, unlike the United States, which requires various inspections and certifications, as long as you want, you can go to a big club, you can go to the national team, you can go to a small boxing gym at home, you can also go to a small boxing gym, very free, the most important thing is that you have to have strength, as long as you have strength, it will be very simple to become a professional boxer.
Therefore, a large number of Japanese young people go to learn boxing, karate, judo, etc., and when there are more people participating in the project, there will naturally be masters.
Wang Ben didn't know this Yuichi Kameda, and he hadn't heard of this person before.
However, Wang Ben has never had much affection for the Japanese, although he doesn't necessarily hate it, but he definitely doesn't like it.
"Wang Ben, this time it's troublesome, you must be careful!" Just as Wang Ben was about to take the stage offstage, Lu Biao hurried over.
Lu Biao left early this morning, and he didn't know what he was busy with, so he didn't come back until the game was about to start.
Yuan Zhengtu frowned and scolded: "Lu Biao, the game will start soon, don't affect Wang Ben's state." ”
"No, teacher, I just want to remind Wang Ben, I went to inquire about the opponent's information early in the morning, and finally knew the strength of the opponent, this Kameda Yuichi is very famous in Japan, won the Japanese Boxing League championship for several consecutive years, and is the Japanese 63.5kg boxing champion, this is his game information, you take a look at it first." Lu Biao said with a wry smile.
After speaking, Lu Biao handed over a piece of paper, and Yuan Zhengtu took it and looked at it for a while, his brows furrowed even deeper.
"What's wrong? Is the other party very powerful? Wang Ben smiled indifferently.
Yuan Zhengtu said cautiously: "It's not ordinary, but very powerful!" See for yourself. ”
Wang Ben took the piece of paper at any time, only to see that it was written:
Name: Yuichi Kameda
Age: 27
Height: 165cm
Arm span: 176cm
Record: 38-0 in the Japanese domestic league, 36 knockouts, three consecutive 63.5kg Japan Boxing League titles.
The record of this Asian Boxing Championship: 7 wins, 0 losses, 7 knockouts.
My day, like my brother's record, the strength of little Japan is not simple!
Wang Ben was taken aback, originally thinking that his 7 consecutive knockouts at the Asian Boxing Championships were unique, but he didn't expect Yuichi Kameda's record to be the same as his own.
Usually I go back after the game, I rarely pay attention to the opponent's situation, silently, I don't know that there is such a powerful master in the final, it seems that I am a little underestimated.
However, you don't know until you've played it, even if he has a brilliant record, but my brother is not a vegetarian, I'm afraid of him!
Wang Ben took a deep breath and walked into the ring with his head held high.
Bite!
The first round begins.
Kameda is not tall, but he is very large and looks very solid, in the words of ordinary people, the chassis is very low.
He is 27 years old this year, has been learning boxing for more than 15 years, and has not gone to the United States to register as a professional boxer, but in Japan, he has never been defeated against a professional boxer, and is known as the boxing champion of amateur boxing.
He is very low-key and withdrawn, and does not like to interact with outsiders, so his reputation in Asian boxing is very low, and many people have not even heard of the name "Yuichi Kameda".
However, as soon as he stepped into the boxing ring, he was like a different person, completely transformed into a fierce beast, even if he fought with professional fighters, he always took the absolute initiative and broke through the opponent's defenses with unrivaled heavy punches.
Retreating is the act of a coward! In my dictionary, there is only forward, not backward!
This is the motto of Yuichi Kameda.
After the referee announced the start of the game, Kameda Yuyi slid with a pair of feet, his footwork was smooth, and he took a step forward quickly, and then hit Wang Ben in the face with a jab.
A scene that made all the audience and reporters on the scene passionate appeared.
Wang Ben's head tilted slightly to the side, and then instead of retreating, he also slid forward a step forward, and launched a confrontation with Kameda Yuichi.
Fist to the flesh, bang!
Left straight punch, right hook, left hook, back hook!
Attack! Who's afraid of whom!
Wang Ben clenched his fists and struck wildly with a combination of punches, aiming directly at Kameda's face.
Yuichi Kameda swayed from side to side and defended with an armadillo.
Armadillo defense, that is, lowering one's center of gravity, crossing one's arms, and keeping one's left arm parallel to the right to protect one's jaw, when this defense is used, the opponent can only hit the arms and the top of the head.
This type of boxing defense is effective against fighters who are taller than you, and when you use it, you can also swing forward and dodge punches.
Bang!
Syllable!
The sound of the blow resounded from the boxing ring, and even the surrounding spectators could hear it very clearly, which showed how powerful the blow was.
