Chapter 389: First Minute
"Is this true? It's not April Fool's Day, is it? Playing twelve boxing matches in six days, is Zhang Guan crazy? ”
"Look at the list of opponents, Raman, Toms, Chambers, Ibragimov ...... All of them are the top boxers in the heavyweight boxing world, and these people can probably kill a cow with a single punch! Zhang Guan wants to fight against twelve such people in six days, how is this possible? ”
"Zhang Guan's agent said it himself, is this still fake? But how can a boxing match have so much intensity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAren't they boxing? It shouldn't be to get together to fight the landlord. ”
"Not a boxing match? That's unlikely, right? You look like all the top boxers, and if you don't box, people won't want to come. ”
The surrounding reporters began to discuss, and Zhuge Wenbo was obviously satisfied with the result, he stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I think you must have questions about this schedule, six days and twelve matches, which has never existed in boxing at all, but the schedule is indeed like this." As for the reason, it is mainly to save time. As you all know, Zhang Guan is going to participate in the Turkish Men's World Basketball Championships and prepare for the Asian Games at the end of the year, so it is impossible to waste too much time and energy on the boxing challenge. ”
"You mean to say that such a tight schedule is just for the challengers?" A reporter immediately asked.
"No, no, no, it's not a coping. Although the schedule was intensive, it was arranged within Zhang's ability. Zhang Guan is a professional athlete, he will face every game seriously, and I believe that Zhang Guan's opponent will also be serious about the game. Zhuge Wenbo said immediately.
"We know that boxing matches are very draining, and a fight takes 12 rounds, can Zhang Guan's body withstand such a high-intensity schedule? I think even if Zhang Guan doesn't want to deal with the game, his physical strength may not be able to allow it, right? Immediately, another reporter asked.
"Boxing matches only have 12 rounds when they are full matches, in fact, the vast majority of fights are impossible to fight 12 rounds, and there are often cases where opponents are knocked out in the first few rounds, and if Zhang Guan is quick to decide, I think there is no problem in terms of physical strength." Zhuge Wenbo smiled and nodded at everyone, and then said: "Fellow journalists, there is still a period of time before the competition, if there is no accident, the schedule will not change, and I hope that all reporters and friends can help us publicize more, and we also welcome all reporters and friends to watch the game!" ”
……
United States.
"Tiger" Thompson sat in front of the computer, looking at the computer screen in surprise, the mobile phone in his hand showed the call status, and on the other end of the phone was "Fast Man" Chambers.
"I saw the schedule, six days, twelve games, Zhang Guan is not crazy! And his opponents are all first-class players, and their level is not worse than you and me. Is this true? Thompson said into his phone.
"It's true." Chambers on the other end of the phone immediately responded: "Zhang Guan's agent team has admitted it, and I have contacted several people, such as Banks, Adamek, Pete, and Raman, and I confirmed the game time with them, exactly as it is written." ”
"What the hell is Zhang Guan going to do? This is a boxing match, not to mention two fights a day, and six days in a row, he thinks it is a sprint? Thompson said to himself.
"Tony (Thompson), don't you think Zhang Guan is looking down on us by doing this?" Chambers spoke.
"Look down on us? What do you mean? Thompson asked.
"He doesn't seem to pay any attention to our challenges, and with such a dense schedule, it even makes me feel like he's got us covered!" Chambers spoke.
"You mean that Zhang Guan thinks he can easily defeat us?" Thompson asked.
"Yes, I feel that way." Chambers continued: "Maybe he thinks he beat David Haye, so he can easily beat us!" Maybe he thinks we are relatively ordinary, and there is no need to take it seriously! This kind of schedule is clearly saying that he despises us! ”
"Huh, despise us? The last person who dared to despise me was in the hospital for half a month! Thompson snorted coldly: "If Zhang Guan really dares to despise me, I will let him taste it!" ”
"Tony, you have to be lighter, don't forget that our game is on the same day, if you send him to the hospital, I won't have an opponent in the evening game!" Chambers said half-jokingly.
"That Zhang Guan also has to survive the first day smoothly, maybe Zhang Guan will be beaten to the hospital on the first day, by the way, who is Zhang Guan's opponent on the first day?" Thompson asked.
"Raman and Banks, hehe, it looks like Zhang Guan really can't make it through the first day!" Chambers continued: "I met 'Rock' and 'Coach' on the first day, Tony, let's prepare a bouquet of flowers and visit Zhang Guan in the hospital when the time comes!" ”
……
"Does Zhang Guan look down on me like this? Fight me in the afternoon and Bacchus in the evening? Does he think that after he fights me, he will still have the strength to fight Banksys? Raman's eyes flashed with fierceness.
"Look down on me so much! I'm 'rock' Raman in the boxing world for more than ten years, and I won't be so flattened by you! Zhang Guan, you wait, I will definitely not show mercy! ”
……
"Hasim Raman, nicknamed 'The Rock', is 189 centimeters tall and has an arm span of 208 centimeters, and he is definitely a natural boxer in terms of his height ratio." Lewis continued: "Your first opponent is a tough one, and even I have lost to him before. ”
"You look like you've only lost to two people, right? One of them is him? Zhang Guan asked.
Lewis nodded: "I've had one draw and two defeats in my career, the one was against Holyfield, two defeats, one to McCall and the other to Raman. It was also on that occasion that Raman won the WBC, IBO, and IBF triple belts from me, only to take back my three belts from him seven months later. This guy's heavy punches are powerful, but the play is inconsistent. When he plays well, he can beat the top fighters, and when he doesn't play well, he is at the level of the top fighters. ”
"This guy should be very resistant to beating! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been nicknamed 'The Rock'. Zhang Guan said.
"It's really resistant to beatings, but as he gets older, his physical strength is not as good as in previous years." Lewis continued: "On the first night, you also have to deal with Jonathan Banks. Banksy is a young man, probably only four or five years older than you, he has a very well-rounded technique, and he used to be an assistant coach for Klitschko Jr.! ”
Zhang Guan nodded, he remembered the Tyson Fury he had met earlier, and that guy used to be Klitschko Jr.'s sparring partner. And the assistant coach is obviously several levels higher than the sparring partner, which at least shows that Banks is stronger than that Fury.
……
In June, the World Cup in South Africa attracted the attention of the world, and in front of the World Cup, other sports competitions of the same period were all overshadowed.
A month of the World Cup, consumed too much fan energy, for European audiences, it is good to say, the game time is still suitable for watching, but for Asian audiences, the World Cup has become a late-night battle, every morning can always see some people with dark circles and sluggish people walking on the street.
The end of the World Cup is a relief for many fans, at least they can stay up late, and the attention of other games has also begun to pick up with the end of the World Cup.
On July 14, the Capital Boxing Stadium was full of people, and although it was not a rest day today, a large number of spectators still came here to watch the match.
There are fights for six days in a row, and there are two more every day, which is rare for a boxing gym. What's more, it was "The Rock" Raman who appeared today, and "The Rock" Raman is also a well-known fighter who can attract many boxing fans.
In the stands, "Tiger" Thompson and "Fast Man" Chambers were already sitting in the front row.
"I met with Rahman yesterday, and he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Guan, he felt that Zhang Guan was looking down on him, so he told me to give Zhang Guan some color today." Thompson spoke.
"Is Raman going to be serious? It looks like we can't play tomorrow. Maybe after this game, we'll have to book a plane ticket back to the United States tomorrow. Chambers said with a smile.
"Actually, I don't think Raman will win." Thompson continued: "I thought about it carefully yesterday, Zhang Guan dared to come up with this kind of schedule, saying that he didn't come prepared. Zhang Guan's coach is Lewis, I don't think Lewis can let Zhang Guan mess around, maybe he has already formulated tactics for Zhang Guan! ”
"Tactics? What tactics can be developed? Chambers asked, puzzled.
"Maybe it's a quick break. Raman is thirty-eight years old this year, and his stamina and stamina are much lower than they used to be, and I guess Lewis will definitely target that. Thompson began.
Thompson and Chambers were discussing when the lights dimmed and the players entered.
……
Jonathan Banks got out of the car and hurried towards the venue.
"The capital of China is really congested, there are people everywhere, there are cars everywhere, so close, I don't get there in 20 minutes, I am late! Now it's time for the race to begin! ”
Banksy trotted into the arena, the lights in the arena dimmed, and the spotlights on the roof were aimed at the boxing ring.
"Luckily, the competition hasn't started yet, and it's still the stage of entry. My seat is in the first row, Zone A, which should be over there. Banksy walked through the aisle towards the first row.
"I'm sorry, let it go, please let it go!" Banks made his way through the crowd and found his seat, but before he could sit down, he saw two familiar faces, none other than Thompson and Chambers.
"Tony (Thompson)! Eddie (Chambers)! Banks immediately beckoned to the two of them.
"Oh, Jonathan is here! The seat next to me is just empty, so come and sit here! Chambers immediately waved at Banks.
"Boom!" The bell for the start of the game also rang at this moment.
Immediately, there was a deafening shout.
Banksy was startled by the sudden sound, and he shuddered, then covered his ears and ran towards Chambers.
"Jonathan, when did you get to China?" Chambers then asked.
"I arrived the day before yesterday and my game was in the evening. What about you? When did it arrive? Banksy asked.
"Tony and I came together and we arrived yesterday morning. Our game is in the evening, but I guess Zhang Guan won't make it that time, don't you think, Tony? Chambers's words did not get a response from Thompson next to him.
Chambers couldn't help but turn his head to look at Thompson, only to find Thompson looking at the ring in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Chambers also looked into the ring, just in time to see Zhang Guan raising his arms and Rahman falling to the ground.
The referee waved his arms rhythmically, and the innermost one shouted loudly: "Eight, seven, six......"
"The referee is counting down! What's going on? Raman was knocked out? Isn't it just the beginning? I just talked to Banksy, what the hell happened on the field? I spoke for more than ten seconds, why did Raman fall to the ground? Chambers looked confused.
……
Banks approached his seat, and as he sat down, Chambers's voice rang in his ears:
"Tony and I came together, we arrived yesterday morning ......"
The shouting was so loud that Banksy struggled to hear Chambers before he looked up at the ring and prepared to watch the action.
At first glance, however, there are only two people standing in the ring, a boxer and a referee.
"Why is there one person missing?" Banks looked closely, only to see one lying on the ground.
"It's Raman! Raman was knocked out? How did you get knocked out? I remember the bell had just rang for the start of the race! That is, when I sat down, Raman was knocked out? What the hell is going on? Can anyone tell me what's going on? ”
……
The audience at the scene of "five, four, three...... has already begun to count down loudly with the referee's gestures.
The audience in the first row could see Raman's chest rising and falling, meaning that he was breathing, but he was not getting up.
"Two! One! The referee finally said the final number late, and he walked up to Zhang Guan, grabbed Zhang Guan's arm, held it high, and announced that Zhang Guan had won the final victory.
The celebratory lights inside the Circle intertwined with fireworks erupting around the ring, and streamers fell from the sky.
On the wall, the upper right corner of the scoreboard shows the time it appears in.
15:00
The match starts at 15:00.
The game ends at 15:00!
Raman "The Rock" was knocked out by Zhang Guan in the first minute of the match! (To be continued.) )
