Chapter 392: The Footsteps of a Winning Streak
"In three days and six fights, Zhang Guan won all of them, including top fighters like "Tiger" Thompson, "The Fast" Chambers, "The Rock" Raman and Ibragimov, and even then, no opponent could survive a round! Zhang Guan seems to be replicating the miracle of the boxing champion Tyson back then, no matter who the opponent is, it only takes one round, or even one attack, for him to solve the fight! Next, Zhang Guan will face welterweight champion Steven Cunningham this afternoon, and I wonder if Cunningham will be able to break the curse of 'one round'. Let's wait and see! ”
"American Warship" Steven Cunningham is Zhang Guan's next opponent. Unlike other challengers www.biquge.info Cunningham is not a heavyweight boxer, but a welterweight boxer. He won the IBF welterweight belt in 2007 and successfully defended it in December of the same year, but lost the IBF welterweight title the following year due to a disputed point loss to Adamec.
Welterweight boxers fighting heavyweight boxers are not very disadvantaged, after all, the weight gap between the two is not very large, and many times welterweight fighters will even win. And if it is below the light heavyweight, the gap between the surface heavyweights is a bit large, and there is no comparison at all in the class.
Cunningham has been working hard to move towards the heavyweight division, and he has indeed managed to enter the heavyweight division in the future.
Cunningham's technique is very comprehensive, but compared with the heavyweight, his fist power is more average, which is also the main gap between the welterweight and the heavyweight, many welterweight boxers are very good in terms of technique, and their feet are also very flexible, but the power of the fist is insufficient, in the heavyweight competition, it cannot cause effective killing, but it is easy to be knocked down by the heavyweight punch.
Adamek, whom Zhang Guan defeated last night, was the same person who snatched the IBF title from Cunningham, who rose to the heavyweight division and could not survive a round, and Cunningham, who is still in the welterweight division, is even less likely to be Zhang Guan's opponent.
The clock on the wall changed from 15:00 to 15:01, and Cunningham also fell to the ground, and Zhang Guan still maintained the unbeaten golden body of the opponent who defeated his opponent in one round. In fact, this bout was just an appetizer for Zhang Guan as he faced a truly formidable opponent in the evening.
Alexander Dimichenko, Ukrainian boxer, nicknamed "Little Giant", is only twenty-eight years old this year, is a rising star in the heavyweight boxing world in recent years, he is 201 cm tall, has an arm span of 211 cm, and his physical talent is better than Klitschko Jr., and he has excellent boxing talent, plus he is Ukrainian, so he is known as the successor of the Klitschko brothers.
Although Dimischenko's technique is not as delicate as that of Klitschko Jr., they have one thing in common, that is, heavy punches. Di Mischenko is not the kind of boxer with a flow of skills, but he has the kind of heavy punches that can kill him in one hit, and in this regard, Zhang Guan has not faced any opponent before Di Mischenko.
So in the game, Zhang Guan played more cautiously, Zhang Guan was still more afraid of Dimichenko's heavy punches, so he also had reservations in the attack, and this night, Zhang Guan's luck was not very good, the probability of triggering the "heavy attack" skill was relatively low, and in the last attack of the first round, Zhang Guancai caused damage to Dimichenko with the effect of "heavy attack".
Dimischenko's resistance was also very strong, he did not fall, but leaned against the guardrail, and he became the only boxer in four days to make it to the second round.
However, Dimichenko only managed to stop in the second round. In the 48th second after the start of the second round, Dimischenko simply lay on the ground.
Four days, eight victories, eight knockouts, and only one man can make it to the second round, and this formidable record has also attracted the attention of the world.
Originally, many people thought that under this kind of schedule, Zhang Guan might not even be able to survive the first day, but inadvertently, Zhang Guan had already put down eight opponents, and the total time spent did not exceed 20 minutes.
The eyes of the entire boxing world were attracted, and boxing fans were discussing whether it was possible for the next four opponents to stop Zhang Guan's progress.
Zhang's ninth opponent is Abdusalamov, a Russian who won the 2007 World Championships and the 2008 Olympics and has a resume similar to that of Povetkin. In just one year into the professional world, Abdulsaramov has fought just eight fights, all of which have been won by knockout, including five first-round knockouts. It can be said that Abdusalamov is the most promising rookie in boxing at the moment.
Excellent technique, fierce punches, heavy punches can be the final word. Abdusalamov's future is limitless, but in fact he is a tragic boxing champion, the future Abdusalamov after winning the WBC Americas gold, injured in a fight, developed a blood clot in the brain, craniotomy left him almost vegetative, and even relied on extreme sustaining life for a while.
But now, Abdusalamov is extremely fierce, and he even started a fight with Zhang Guan at the beginning of the game.
"Bang!" Zhang Guan punched Abdusalamov in the shoulder, and the heavy blow effect was triggered, but Zhang Guan did not continue to attack, and he even took the initiative to take a step back.
In the matchup, Zhang Guan hit Abdusalamov and triggered the effect of the heavy blow, but almost at the same time, Abdusalamov also hit Zhang Guan.
If it were according to the past situation, Zhang Guan would inevitably take advantage of Abdusalamov's 1-second stun and try to knock him out, but Abdusalamov's heavy punches also caused a lot of damage to Zhang Guan, which also made Zhang Guan unable to guarantee a follow-up attack.
"What a sharp punch! It hurts me so much! Zhang Guan stabilized his breathing and gave himself a buffer time.
Abdusalamov only entered the professional boxing scene after the 2008 Olympics, which means that he has only been fighting professionally for a little more than a year, but Zhang Guan feels that Abdusalamov is more difficult than his previous opponents.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and this is the case with the current Abdusalamov.
Compared with those veteran fighters who have been famous for a long time, Abdusalamov is more psychologically burdened, and his style of play is more open. For Abdusalamov, a loss is a loss, and well-known fighters like Thompson and Chambers did not survive the first round, and there is no shame in him being taken down by Zhang Guan in the first round.
That open-mindedness allowed Abdusalamov to hold out into the second round, but when Zhang's luck came to his head, the effects of the "Heavy Strike" skill were used twice, and Abdusalamov was eventually knocked out. (To be continued.) )
