Chapter Eighty-Three: Upgrades
After the bout with Morales, Lin Ye was ready to move up to lightweight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor Lin Ye now, the super featherweight division is nothing worth remembering.
Seven days later, Lin Ye submitted an upgrade application to the WBO. Because Lin Ye was originally registered with the WBO.
The WBO quickly agreed to Lin Ye's request. At the moment when Lin Ye's promotion application is approved, Lin Ye's four super featherweight belts will also be returned to the four major boxing organizations.
Fortunately, the boxing organization acquiesced to the boxing champion to buy a replica of the gold belt for $2,000 a piece, and Lin Ye got four replica gold belts and hung them in the living room of the villa as a souvenir.
At the same time, Lin Ye prepares to ask Natalia to negotiate with Quimper's promoter and reach an agreement on a battle between the two sides.
Quimper's side quickly replied that he could fight. However, Quimper suffered a finger bone injury in the title defense and will need to wait until the injury is fully healed before he can sign a match agreement.
Lin Ye had to wait for Quimper to recover. Fortunately, the injury suffered by Quimper was considered a minor injury, and the healing time should be quick, and Lin Ye would not be kept waiting too long.
The current lightweight division is a whole notch higher than the super featherweight division, which can be described as a starry star and a strong opponent.
For example, the owner of the three lightweight belts in the WBA/IBF/WBO, "Star Marine" Quimper. In March of last year, Quimper shot to fame by defeating former WBA/IBF/WBO top champion Juan Diaz and taking away all three of his belts. Last year, he was ranked second in the lightweight division, behind Pacquiao. WBC's lightweight champion David "The Calf" Diaz is incredibly powerful, and his style of play resembles that of British "White Face Killer" Ricky Hatton, fierce and powerful. In the boxing world, he always seems to have an inexhaustible amount of energy, and he will not show the slightest fatigue after a full fight.
"Cuban Missile" Casamajore is also a superpower in the lightweight division, holding the WBO interim lightweight gold belt. He had already won the bantamweight gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics before he entered professional boxing. Casamajore is a typical technical player in the boxing world, with a strong defensive ability and rarely gets a punch from his opponent. And Casamajol is extremely good at finding flaws in opponents and has a strong ability to seize opportunities.
There is also an Englishman who is now in the lightweight division and is known as the "lightweight star" "Aamir Kahan". "Kahan's punches are extremely fast, his feet are nimble, and he is tall and has long arms. Favored by many, he is the next superstar in the pan-lightweight middleweight division. However, Lin Ye knew that although this guy's strength was good, he had a fatal weakness, that is, his "glass chin", which could be said to fall down at the touch of it, and his resistance to blows was too weak. In the near future, this weakness of his will be exposed and become a fatal hole for his opponents against him.
And in the lightweight division, there is also a boxing champion who must not be ignored, Valero who is extremely influential, known as "Madman" and "Inca Dynamite". Valero is arguably the most knocked out champion in boxing history, with all 27 bouts ending in knockouts and a 100% knockout rate, which has left countless people in the spotlight.
However, in Lin Ye's eyes, he didn't have a good impression of this Valero. Although this guy fights beautifully, he is invincible in the ring, he is very popular with boxing fans, and is sought after by countless people, but his character is extremely bad. Needless to say, he was an alcoholic, drug addict, and often beat his young wife. In April 2010, he brutally murdered his wife after being drunk, and his wife, who was only 20 years old when she died, left her two young children and died forever.
This has caused many people to hate and regret at the same time. Indeed, if Valero's character is a little better, with his strength, he will definitely be the handful of people who stand at the pinnacle of boxing history, enough to be compared with Tyson, Ali, Jones, Mayweather, Pacquiao and others. But Valero's frenzied death put him in a state of no return.
After Lin Ye moved up to lightweight, he planned to defeat Quimper first and then have a unification fight with David Diaz. After unifying the lightweight, it is ready to upgrade again.
Now Lin Ye began to upgrade his weight under the supervision of the Jie family. In the process of upgrading weight, it is necessary to strictly ensure the ratio of muscle to fat in the body. That is, to gain more muscle and less fat. However, in this process of upgrading weight, it is necessary to have a professional nutritionist on the side to prepare special food and nutritional supplements, monitor and record Lin Ye's body data, and give guidance.
But now Lin Ye's nutritionist Stanford has disappeared entirely. I couldn't find it. In desperation, Lin Ye had to ask Natalia to find a nutritionist again.
Soon, the headhunter recommended a dietitian who graduated from Duke University with a medical degree and has a senior dietitian license.
This nutritionist is also a Chinese named Lu Yu. Born in a medical family, his ancestors are famous Chinese medicine practitioners, and he can be said to have learned both Chinese and Western. After meeting and chatting with him, Lin Ye was greatly impressed by Lu Yu's medical knowledge and understanding, and quickly signed a contract with him.
The contract is a three-year contract with a monthly salary of $20,000 and a 0.9% share of tournament revenue.
Just as Lin Ye was adjusting and training his weight, Guzmán came over again.
For Guzman, he was released twice in a row by Lin Ye, and he regretted it before signing the agreement. Guzmán hated to tear Lin Ye alive. In order to play against Lin Ye, Guzmán has been waiting from last year to the present, and has not played a single match.
It's just that this time it was the Golden Boy Promotion Company that came to contact Natalia. For the failure to compete with Lin Ye, Guzmán also complained a lot about his promoters, believing that his promoters were incompetent. At this moment, the Golden Boy Promotion Company stepped in and promised many benefits. Hoya even came to the door in person. This made Guzmán a little moved, and he directly fired his promoter and signed a contract with the Golden Boy Promotion Company instead.
This made Guzmán's promoters cry without tears.
Hoya personally called Natalia to match the match, and Lin Ye thought about it, taking advantage of the time when Quimper was recuperating from his injury, it was okay to have a fight with Guzman. It's just that he has gained weight now, and he can't maintain a weight of 130 pounds, and in order to fight, Guzmán must accept the agreed weight.
When Hoya heard this, he immediately refused, and for a fighter, just one pound increase could cause a drop in strength. But after seeing that Natalia did not let go of her weight, she repeatedly bargained over the weight of the agreed weight.
In the end, the two sides agreed to fight at 132 pounds, and since Lin Ye does not have a boxing title on him now, this fight is also a normal match.
Subsequently, the parties signed an agreement.
