Chapter 18: South China Boxing Championship

The venue of the "South China Boxing Championship" is in Yangcheng Tianhe Sports Center.

Tianhe Sports Center is the largest sports venue in Yangcheng, founded in 1984, the main building is fully functional, the equipment is very advanced, the most important thing is that the area is very large, can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and is divided into many floors, in the center of the boxing stadium can put down ten boxing rings, at the same time ten boxing matches.

Although the four major boxing gyms in South China have done a lot of publicity, there are not many boxers who have really signed up to participate in the "South China Boxing Championship", plus boxing enthusiasts from various universities, there are less than 300 registered participants at the two levels, and the age limit of the contestants is between 16 and 22 years old.

After all, boxing has just started in China, and its influence is still not enough.

In the 80s, China was influenced by the martial arts style of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, and there were more people practicing Taijiquan, and foreign martial arts such as Muay Thai and karate also entered China, and even fewer people practiced boxing.

It is also for this reason that the Provincial Sports Bureau will support the four major boxing halls to hold boxing competitions with great fanfare, in order to promote the sport of boxing, after all, in the Olympic Games, boxing is a fixed event, it is a project that can win gold medals, and this project is almost blank in China.

About a third of the total number of participants are from the four major gyms, and there are also some young fighters on Hong Kong Island and Pusa Portuguese.

Wang Ben reported a lightweight competition under 60kg, and after coming to the arena, after a strict weight measurement and urine test, he came to the rest area with the other students of Longwei Boxing Gym.

In this competition, Wang Ben asked Yuan Zhengtu and knew that the number of participants in the lightweight division was the largest, with 216 people together, and if he wanted to win the lightweight championship, he had to fight eight matches and maintain a winning record.

The only pity is that this is an unofficial competition, and the results of the competition will not be recorded, otherwise, if Wang Ben wins the championship, his result will be a proud record of eight games and zero losses.

The tournament lasts for three days, with four games on the first day, two games on the second day, and two games on the third day.

To be honest, with such an intensive intensity, it will definitely not work to change to a professional boxing match, and no one can fight that many fights in such a short period of time.

However, this is only an amateur game, and most of the participants are boxing enthusiasts, each fight is four rounds, even if the full court is only eight minutes of ring time, the intensity of the game is within the tolerance range, like a professional boxing match, the full court is twelve rounds, who can stand it?

In the boxing hall of Tianhe Sports Center, ten boxing rings were placed, and the first day of the competition was ten full open at the same time, and only after the top 16 on the second day, it was changed to a boxing ring.

Next to the ring, the medical staff are well prepared, and in this kind of fierce competitive competition, it is easy to get injured, and without medical personnel, in the event of death or serious injury, no one can afford to be responsible.

However, Yuan Zhengtu is very relieved about the injury, Wang Ben rarely gets injured in boxing, not only his physical fitness, but also his boxing awareness.

In the first draw, Wang Ben looked at the opponent's information and found that it was a young man named Li Zhongxiao.

Li Zhongxiao, age nineteen, two years older than Wang Ben, weighs 60kg, the whole person looks much older than Wang Ben, no way, he has a little more fat on his body, on his stomach, only a piece of plate oil, no muscle lines at all.

Wang Ben is very satisfied with his muscles, after this period of boxing training, the fat content of his body has come down, and the muscles on his body are very strong, especially the muscles of the abdomen, the eight conspicuous plates are very shocking, and the latissimus muscles on the back have also become a lot thicker, and the hands are crossed at the waist, and an inverted triangle shape can be clearly seen.

In fact, in the sport of boxing, the muscles of the back are very important, which is not only the source of strength, but also the link of flexible movement of the body.

Any martial arts master in the ring pays great attention to the training of back muscles, just like Bruce Lee, the founder of Jeet Kune Do, who is not tall, but looks like a bat when the latissimus dorsi is opened, which has a very visual impact.

Before the game, Wang Ben was a little nervous, after all, this was his first time participating in an official boxing match, I don't know if he could give full play to the things he usually trained, Yuan Zhengtu helped Wang Ben put on protective gear and boxing gloves, patted him on the shoulder, and told him to relax, don't be nervous, just follow the usual training, let go of his hands and feet to fight.

As the countdown to the match began, Yuan Zhengtu checked Wang Ben's protective gear and gloves again and let him enter the ring.

Turning over and entering the ring, Wang Ben looked around and found that there were some spectators standing in the stands around him, and the scene was a little deserted, which was completely different from the American professional boxing scene he watched on TV in his previous life.

"Damn! So few people watch boxing? ”

Wang Ben smiled helplessly, the influence of boxing in China is too low, the main reason is that domestic boxing has no achievements in the world, if there is a boxing champion, I believe the situation will change immediately.

To be honest, if Liu Feiren had not won the Olympic championship suddenly, I believe no one would pay attention to the 100-meter hurdles.

The implementation of a competitive sport must have a leader, and the effect of the implementation will be significant, just like football, there has been no leader, so the number of fans who pay attention to football is gradually decreasing, and the number of young people playing football in China is also declining year by year.

There is no way, there is no lack of passion for the lack of leaders, if there is a world-class peak player in China, I believe that the country does not need to vigorously promote it, and football can spread rapidly among the people.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Ben's nervous mood gradually calmed down.

Glancing at Li Zhongxiao opposite, Wang Ben suddenly felt like laughing.

Damn, this guy is a little fat man, the muscles on his body have not been trained, his skin is white, and what is even more weird is that his eyes are narrowed, and it can be clearly seen that he is short-sighted.

And his stature is not high, otherwise it would not be just 60Kg.

Make no mistake, right? Has this guy ever boxed?

However, although Wang Ben is very strange in his heart, he will not despise anyone, as the saying goes, people can not be good-looking, and the sea water cannot be measured, the old man often warned him that he can't just look at the surface.

The referee explained the boxing rules between the two, then checked the gloves and dental pads of the two, waved his hand, and after the bell rang, the game officially began.

For the sake of prudence, Wang Ben did not attack, but just lightly punched Li Zhongxiao, a jab, with little force, the purpose was to test it.

Syllable......

Hit!

Li Zhongxiao did not dodge, and after receiving a jab in the face, he opened his bow left and right with both hands and rushed towards the position where Wang Ben was standing.

Left Hook, Right Hook, Straight, Hook......

It's like a crab waving two giant pincers, rampage, and out of order.
