Chapter 120: Ivan Northson
"Coach, do you think this will work? I went to be a sparring partner, anyway, it's all actual combat training, to see if anyone needs to spar, not only to earn some money, but also to improve the actual combat power of the ring. Wang Ben said.
Being a sparring partner for an hour a day, not only does not need to spend money, but also earns money, and I am now poor Jingle, which is a good way.
"You're going to be a sparring partner?" Yuan Zhengtu frowned.
"Yes, sparring is also a fight anyway, and I still lack professional boxing experience now, so I need to adapt to the rhythm of professional boxing." Wang Ben nodded.
"I'm afraid this won't work, we are now a member of the Kroenke Boxing Club, according to the contract, we can't fight in private, you may not know, the law in the United States is very strict, once the club investigates, we have no good fruit to eat." Yuan Zhengtu shook his head and said.
The agent signs a boxer and invests in the boxer, which needs to spend a lot of money to operate, in order to get a high return for the boxer to participate in the competition, so all the events and actions of the boxer will be bound and restricted by the contract, and the boxer is absolutely not allowed to fight in private, once the violation is made, he will be punished by the law, and even the professional boxing license will be revoked.
"But we can't wait?" Wang Ben said in a hurry, if there is a lack of actual combat training, his boxing level will improve very slowly, and it will be difficult to enter the top 15 in the world as soon as possible.
"Don't worry! I'll go to Mr. Stewart and see if I can fix that. Yuan Zhengtu said.
A day later, Yuan Zhengtu approached Stewart and quickly got an answer.
"How? Did Stewart say yes? Wang Ben, who was training, hurriedly asked after seeing Yuan Zhengtu.
Yuan Zhengtu shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "The club does not allow boxers to act as sparring partners. ”
When Wang Ben heard this, he was immediately a little unhappy.
Nima, my brother signed an agent contract, not a deed of sale, why can't he act as a sparring partner?
However, he only complained, there were clear provisions in the contract, and he was helpless, once he violated the rules, he would never be able to mix in the professional boxing world anymore.
"But Stewart promised you that if you want to improve the effectiveness of your training, the club can arrange twelve rounds of training every day, but there is no pay." Yuan Zhengtu smiled bitterly.
"Really? That's great! Wang Ben said in surprise.
Next, he saw that Yuan Zhengtu's face was a little wrong.
"What's wrong?"
"Actually, I don't want you to go to actual combat training with other fighters in the club, it's not a level fighter at all, and it's easy to get injured." Yuan Zhengtu said cautiously.
"Not a level? What does it mean? Wang Ben frowned.
It turns out that there is an unspoken rule in the Kroenke Club, that is, if the fighters within the club want to improve their actual combat experience, they can only choose from the internal fighters.
Due to the small number of fighters in the 140-pound ultra-lightweight division, the other fighters have suitable training partners, and Wang Ben is a newcomer, so there is no training partner in this division.
In this case, you can only find fighters of other levels to train.
Unfortunately, there is only one fighter left in the Kroenke club who has no suitable opponent, and his name is Ivan Northson.
Ivan Northson, who weighs 165 pounds and is 28 years old, is a super middleweight fighter.
To be honest, with Wang Ben's current weight of 138 pounds, which is four levels behind Ivan Northson, there is no comparison at all.
Actual combat training is not simple training, it is all real, and there is no situation where fighters keep their hands.
So after Yuan Zhengtu learned the news, he was very hesitant in his heart, if Wang Ben and Ivan Northen had actual combat training, it would be easy to get injured.
Although Ivan Northson is not very strong in the super middleweight division, the weight class is there, and Wang Ben is difficult to beat.
"Super middleweight?" Wang Ben's face was a little unnatural.
If there is a difference of one or two levels, he doesn't care much, but if there is a difference of four levels, it will be a bit difficult, in case that guy is ruthless and he is injured by him, it will be difficult to even pay for medical expenses.
You know, the super middleweight division is the same level as Leonard in the "King Fight" two days ago, and he can withstand twelve rounds with his own strength?
He had no choice, though! Unless you give up real combat training.
That afternoon, Wang Ben met Ivan Northson.
It was a black man, very black, with a lot of white teeth, and he looked strong and burly.
The age of black people is difficult to judge, in Wang Ben's eyes, the twenties are about the same as the blacks in their forties, anyway, they are a black mass.
Wang Ben had never met Ivan Northen before, and even if he did, he didn't know him.
Yuan Zhengtu said hello to Norsen, and after introduction, Wang Ben learned that this black man Ivan Northon was a bit not simple.
The professional boxing super middleweight division was full of masters in the eighties and nineties, and the four heavenly kings rose strongly, but in addition to the four heavenly kings, there are many powerful fighters, but they are not famous under the light of the four heavenly kings.
The WBC World Boxing Council Super Middleweight World Ranking is No. 28, which is Ivan Northson's world ranking.
Speaking of this ranking, this ranking is not high, you must know that he is a signed fighter of Kroenke Boxing Club, has very good promotion conditions, if he is strong enough, he will definitely enter the top 15 in the world rankings.
After understanding, Wang Ben learned about Ivan Northson's professional record.
52-24 in 76 fights, knockout opponents in 6 fights, and KO opponents in 4 fights.
The win rate is not high, and the knockout rate is also very low, which shows that although Ivan Northson is ranked, his overall strength is average.
Of course, the general reference here is super middleweight, and Wang Ben's super lightweight weight class does not dare to underestimate him.
"This guy's fist power doesn't seem to be heavy, it's far worse than Duran and Leonard, so he can really fight a dozen."
When Wang Ben saw Ivan Northen, he was hitting the sandbag, and after observing for a moment, Wang Ben breathed a sigh of relief.
If the strength is not heavy, the two of them will not be injured in actual combat training, and if it is very heavy, then Wang Ben will have to think about it.
Turning his head to look at Wang Ben and Yuan Zhengtu, Ivan Northon punched the sandbag and turned around and walked over.
"You're the fighter Mr. Stewart said he was going to train with me?" Glancing Wang Ben up and down, Ivan Northen frowned.
"Hello, Mr. Ivan Northen, I'm Wang Ben, and I'm glad to be training with you." Wang Ben greeted warmly.
Ivan Northen gave him a cold look and reacted coldly. "I'm sorry, I'm not going to fight you, will you go back?"
“……”
Wang Ben was stunned for a moment, speechless for a long time.
What's going on?
Didn't you say that the club arranged it? Why didn't this black guy fight again?
"Can you tell me why?" Wang Ben asked in a deep voice.
Ivan Northen turned around and continued to hit the punching bag, saying disdainfully: "I'm not interested in playing with you, just like you, you can't last a round, there's no need to waste my time." ”
Depend on! Despise! This is contempt!
Your uncle, who has been practicing boxing for so long, this black charcoal head is the first person to despise his brother.
Suddenly, Wang Ben's heart exploded, and he felt extremely unhappy to be despised.
Does my brother really seem to have such a dish, you can beat me in one round? Not to mention that you're only ranked 28th in the super-middleweight world, even if you're Leonard, my brother is going to fight you today.
You want to beat me in one round, dream!
