On the second day after the end of the Golden Glove League, the sports pages of major newspapers in the United States reported on the front page. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Daily News report was written by Gilbert.
"After five days of fierce competition, the champions of each division were decided in the final of the Golden Glove League yesterday. About one-fifth of New Yorkers watched the game on television, and seven million viewers across the United States tuned in at the same time, setting a new record for Golden Glove ratings. In this tournament, we saw many outstanding amateur players, presenting wonderful matches to the audience. These outstanding fighters will surely become a new force in the future of boxing. In the 130-pound super featherweight championship battle, Lin Ye, an 18-year-old boy from China, won the 2008 super featherweight championship by knocking out the previous favorite Filipino Santos in two rounds. In the final, Lin Ye showed off his terrifying uppercut rib punch, knocking out Santos three times in two rounds, forcing Santos to surrender and give up the fight. This is the first time in the 81-year history of the Golden Glove that a Chinese has won the championship. I believe that this teenager from China will bring us more surprises in the future. ”
"Sports Illustrated", the most professional sports newspaper in the United States, printed "The Golden Glove League is over, and the Chinese teenager miracle wins the championship" on the front page of the page.
"The annual Golden Glove League ended yesterday. Unusually, this year's Golden Glove League started 2 months early, and although some excellent players have emerged in this league, there are no amazing newcomers with extraordinary strength. It is worth mentioning that in the super featherweight division, Lin Ye, an 18-year-old fighter from Huaguo, won the championship of the Golden Glove. Not much is known about the amateur. It is only known that he came to the United States a month ago and then played in the Golden Glove League. In the competition, he defeated the favorites Tenare, Casiritus, Santos and other players in one fell swoop. His current amateur record is 8-1KOs. However, although he won the championship, Lin Ye's strength still needs to be improved. Taber, a boxing columnist for this newspaper, pointed out that Lin Ye's skills are rough, his footwork is poor, and his punches are slow, and he may not be able to perform well in future competitions. ”
The sports edition of the New York Post, founded in 1801 and the longest continuously published in the United States, was titled "Chinese Teenagers Destroy Santos in Two Rounds".
Santos is undoubtedly the brightest rising star of the pan-lightweight division, and his swift punches, ferocious strikes, and all-round skills have led many to believe that he will be the next Pacquiao. And yesterday, the rising star suffered the worst defeat of his amateur career. Lin Ye from Huaguo destroyed Santos in two rounds. His uppercut is reminiscent of Mexican champion 'Alien' Margarito, and the two have a very similar style. We are looking forward to seeing what the Chinese teenager can bring us in the races he will bring us in the future. ”
Another New York newspaper, The New York Times, while covering the Golden Glove League, interviewed the most valuable and influential boxing champion in the world today, Mexican Oscar de la Hoya. Golden Boy said he also watched yesterday's Golden Glove final and was impressed by the 130-pound super featherweight champion Lin Ye. Huo Ya believes that Lin Ye will become a new star in the lightweight division with unlimited potential, and is full of appreciation for Lin Ye. Huo Ya said that his Golden Boy Promotion Company is ready to negotiate a contract with Lin Ye, and believes that Lin Ye will quickly become a new star in boxing under the promotion of the Golden Boy Promotion Company.
"USA Today" also focused on the Golden Glove League, in which Lin Ye focused on Lin Ye, believing that Lin Ye only participated in 8 amateur matches to win the Golden Glove championship, which is also a miracle and a new record in the history of amateur boxing.
And some other newspapers and periodicals have also given reports.
Zhou Heyang is a reporter for NetEase's sports column, and has been stationed in the United States for a long time, mainly tracking and reporting on NBA games. Since Yao Ming landed in the NBA, there have been a number of specialized sports reporters stationed in China for long-term interviews and reports. However, this year, Yao Ming suffered a fractured bone in his left ankle and had to suspend treatment. It turned out that Zhou Heyang, who focused on reporting Yao Ming, suddenly lost a lot of news material.
Today, as he passed by a roadside newsstand, he inadvertently swept to the headline of the New York Daily News, "Chinese teenagers win the Golden Glove United Championship." Immediately attracted his interest, bought the newspaper, and Zhou Heyang read it carefully.
After reading it, Zhou Heyang immediately recognized that this was an excellent news material. Although he doesn't know anything about boxing, Zhou Heyang still understands that the influence of top boxing champions abroad is much higher than those super football stars and basketball stars.
This compatriot named Lin Ye has just won the top Golden Glove championship in the amateur league, which shows that he has a strong talent for boxing. Now is the beginning of his sports career, and Zhou Heyang thinks that if he interviews him in advance, he can establish a good relationship. Later, Lin Ye will enter the professional boxing world, get stronger and stronger, and when he gets the boxing championship belt, he will be able to get exclusive interviews and reports by virtue of the good relationship he established at the beginning.
Yao Ming, who is now in the NBA, has constant injuries, that is, he has to deal with difficult NBA games, and he has to fly back to China from time to time to play for the national team. This severely overdrew his body and aggravated his injuries. Zhou Heyang faintly felt that maybe Yao Ming wouldn't have too much time in the NBA. But Zhou Heyang never said this feeling.
But catching Lin Ye is equivalent to grabbing a new excellent news material, and also seizing the future! Thinking of this, Zhou Heyang couldn't wait to find Lin Ye for an exclusive interview.
