Chapter 290: The Battle of Tokyo (1)
Tokyo, Japan.
Tokyo was one of Japan's major cities since the Tokugawa shogunate, and the Meiji Restoration moved its capital to Edo, renamed Tokyo, and has since become the capital of Japan.
Since then, it has gradually developed into a hub center in many fields such as politics, economy, culture, and transportation, and is also one of the most economically developed and affluent cities in the world.
Tokyo is the economic center of Japan, where Japan's major companies are concentrated, and it is the largest city in the world in terms of total GDP.
Tokyo has a well-developed financial and commercial industry, and there are many internal and external business activities. Known as the "heart of Tokyo", Ginza is one of the city's busiest business districts.
Tokyo Dome Gymnasium, located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, Japan, is a 55,000-seat gymnasium.
Tyson vs Douglas, Wang Ben vs Robert Duran!
Two of the top professional boxing fights in the Tokyo Massacre, which were voted "Tokyo Massacre", were held at the Tokyo Dome Stadium.
In order to prepare for the battle in advance, and by the way, he wanted to watch the Tyson VS Douglas battle on the spot, Wang Ben took a plane to Japan more than 20 days in advance and stayed at the Tokyo Imperial Hotel.
This is Wang Ben's first time in Japan, and although he doesn't like Japan as a country, to be honest, Tokyo is a very clean and prosperous metropolis with a lot of fun to do.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that he couldn't understand a word of Japanese except for the conventional language in anti-Japanese dramas such as "Bagaya Road", "Hi", "Your, what dry goods" and "Yo Xi".
And Yuan Zhengtu didn't know Japanese, so he had no choice but to spend money to hire a translator.
The Japanese worship the strong, so as the super boxing champion who dominates the three levels in the American professional boxing world, and is the only Oriental who has this achievement, Wang Ben is very well-known in Japan, and many Japanese regard Wang Ben as an idol.
In addition, Wang Ben vs Robert Duran and Tyson vs Douglas were all publicized by the media as early as five months ago when the game was finalized, and almost everyone knew about it.
On the streets of Tokyo, as the competition approached, propaganda posters of the two battles could be seen everywhere, so Wang Ben's appearance was known to almost all Japanese.
After Wang Ben and Yuan Zhengtu and others came to Tokyo, no one looked for trouble with them, and although Wang Ben was Chinese, the Japanese behaved relatively friendly and did not show hostility.
Now Wang Ben is not only the pride of the Chinese, but also the pride of the yellow race.
After a two-day break in Tokyo, the Tyson vs. Douglas Pro boxing heavyweight clash kicked off.
The entire Tokyo Dome Arena is overcrowded, tickets have long been sold out, and local tyrants from all over the world gather here.
The beautiful "Iron Man" Mike. Tyson is enjoying the admiration of almost all fans, and many media outlets have commented that it is the magic and invincible "1.80 cube".
Truth be told, all the fans didn't pay attention to Douglas as a transitional opponent, and many people thought that the fight was just a formality, and Tyson could effortlessly take out Douglas and then go sightseeing in Japan.
It's not just fans, the media and the Japanese who see it this way, but several big bookmakers have also expressed their opinions with odds.
They gave Douglas the highest odds of winning to 1 to 42, and the subtle ones were also around 1 to 30, in a word, in their eyes, this Douglas is basically a dead man.
Is Douglas strong or not, is it the so-called third-rate or rat?
In fact, before challenging Tyson, Douglas entered the top five in the world in the rankings of several major organizations, second in IBF and third in BA, and was fully qualified and capable of challenging the boxing champion.
He defeated former boxing champion Burbick and later Lewis Oliver in two fights last year. McCall, obviously, if Douglas is really a rookie, he doesn't have what it takes to behave like this?
Let's not talk about Berbick, McCall's strength is clear to many people, that guy is not good at stubble, and he is extremely difficult to mess with.
And back in '87, Douglas also challenged then IBF champion Tony. Tucker, who once had an advantage on the court, did not fall behind in points, but was negligent at a critical time, and was defeated by the opponent in 10 rounds by seizing the opportunity to knock out cold.
Seriously, if Douglas becomes the boxing champion in '87, Tyson will have to challenge him.
Douglas's father and coach, who was angry with the game, abandoned him and quit.
This also illustrates the fact that Douglas is unstable and prone to fallibility.
Douglas, who was born into a boxing family, played basketball and baseball in his early years, and boxing was a halfway monk.
However, his physical condition is not to say, 192 height, arm span of 2.11 meters, the lethality of heavy punches is also excellent, and the continuous offensive ability of combination punches is very good.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us move forward!"
The passionate tongue curl sound of Bafo ignited the passion of the audience, and the entire Dome Stadium resounded with shouts and cheers, like a tsunami!
When the enthusiasm of the crowd was at its peak, Barvo began to introduce the protagonists of tonight's game.
As a challenger, it was Douglas who came out first.
"Douglas, born on April 7, '60, is 1.92 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.11 meters, weighs 231 pounds, and is currently the second-round challenger in the heavyweight division,......"
Douglas's reputation in the professional boxing world is so low that many people have hardly heard of his name, so Pavo explained it in detail.
With the introduction, the lights shone on the door of the locker room, and Douglas appeared in a black shirt and black gloves, supported by the staff and coach.
"Now we have our boxing champion, unifying the professional boxing world lightweight super boxing champion Mike Tyson!"
Although Tyson's profile can be memorized in the hearts of fans, Pavo still introduces Mike Tyson.
"Mike Tyson, the first unified heavyweight super champion in the history of professional boxing, was born in Brooklyn, New York, USA, and just turned 24 this year, and is the youngest boxing champion in boxing history to win the heavyweight division, he is 1.78 meters tall and weighs 220 pounds......"
Wang Ben, who was sitting in the audience, was shocked when he heard this.
Damn, this thing is now weighing in at 220 pounds? It was his prime.
In Wang Ben's memory, Tyson's weight at his peak was maintained at about 220 pounds, and after he came out of prison, Tyson's weight gained a lot.
In fact, after gaining weight, Tyson's speed and flexibility became very poor, and the advantage at his peak was completely lost, and he was no longer the "beast" that everyone feared.
With the introduction of Baffo, the passionate music sounded and uplifted, and the lights shone at the door of the locker room.
The first to appear in the light was a young man, who was seen holding the heavyweight gold belt in both hands, showing off to the surroundings.
Next, two other young men followed, also holding the gold belt.
Three heavyweight boxing champion belts together, bright eyes!
Soon, Tyson walked out, he was wearing a red robe, his eyes were cold, and his fierce look was terrifying.
When Wang Ben saw it, he couldn't help laughing.
Damn, this thing is very sassy, I don't know if it's because I kicked and injured his balls last time, after this guy came to Tokyo, he didn't even pick seven girls at night, and he did him a favor.
If it were like the previous life, this thing would have been lying down four innocent Japanese girls at night, and now he would definitely be mentally exhausted and in a very poor state, how could he be like now, in a good state.
Next to Tyson was his agent Don King, who was seen with a smile on his face and constantly greeting the fans around him.
Of course, with such a good fighter under his command, I believe that any agent will wake up with a smile when he dreams.
In professional boxing, Tyson has the title of "money printing machine", even faster than money printing machines.
When Tyson stepped into the ring, he took off his red robe and began to warm up, his dark muscles were strong and vigorous, and he contained strong explosive power.
Wang Ben shook his head and smiled bitterly.
This guy is in great shape, tonight shouldn't be like his previous life, right?
