Chapter 18: Half-pound weight
In the early morning of the 14th, the big boss and promoter Wu Congjun and coach Li Wangxiang took two assistants and four boxers to embark on a distant journey together. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The destination is located in Lingtong City, three and a half hours.
The process is like this: report at noon, draw blood and drug tests, draw lots and weigh the next morning, and start the war at 5 p.m.
Such a large-scale and slightly amateurish choreography fully illustrates the chaos and shabby nature of the domestic professional league.
Fighters and coaches are housed at the "Tenryu Resort" on the outskirts of the city, where they compete at the nearest city gymnasium.
Wu Congjun and his entourage arrived late, and when they drove to the resort, many clubs had already been cleaned up, and all kinds of athletes were moving, shooting, and exercising in various gardens, corridors, aisles, rockeries, and fountains.
Yang Kai gasped and said, "Wow...... How many people are here? ”
Wu Congjun stared at his mobile phone and said: "Well, there are indeed a lot, according to the news, sixteen in the lightweight division, sixteen in the middleweight division, eight in the light heavyweight division, eight in the sub-heavyweight division, eight in the heavyweight division, together with coaches, team leaders, accompanying assistants, etc., how can they be above the hundred......
There is a very sad one, these peers are all club fighters from all over the country, at their own expense, there is no guarantee, that is to say, except for a few winners, most of them will eventually play the role of accompanying the prince to study, and they have to pay for room and board. Compared with the hot free fighting and sanda events, the situation of boxing is indeed quite embarrassing.
Li Wangxiang interjected: "Is the bonus set?" ”
Wu Congjun said: "The champion is 20,000 and the runner-up is 10,000." ”
Li Wangxiang sneered: "Dozens of fighters, come to fight for such a little money...... It's really chilling...... No wonder everyone has changed careers...... The domestic soil still can't support boxing! ”
Wu Congjun sighed: "Hey, there must be difficulties, but now that WBC, IBF, WBO and other boxing organizations have been stationed here, our tomorrow must be worth looking forward to......"
Li Wangxiang snorted: "Hey, that has to wait until the Year of the Monkey." ”
Listening to their conversation, several fighters fell silent.
Gao Yuan looked calm.
From the rebirth of later generations, he has long known that even after years of development and improvement, boxing is still half-dead in our country, and if you want to make a name for yourself, you must go abroad, MGM, Caesars Palace, Madison Garden Plaza, Atlantic City...... These places are the real center of the world and the real holy land of boxing! Gao Yuan will leave sooner or later, and his dream is far more than winning the Intercontinental Boxing Championship belt!
(The intercontinental boxing champion, the highest level that a professional boxer in my country can take, is theoretically the first in "Asia", but in fact it has a low influence among the four major boxing organizations, and some so-called "boxing champions" and even the world ranking can't even enter the top 50.) )
Everything is going according to plan.
Staying at the hotel, taking blood tests, familiarizing yourself with the environment, and studying the rules.
Professional boxing has extremely high requirements for weight, accurate to the pervert, several other boxers measured themselves after cleaning up, for fear that it would exceed the safe range, and the heavyweight Gao Yuan did not have any scruples, holding the information and flipping through it.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can not be defeated in a hundred battles, look at his opponent:
Xiong Hui, 1.85 meters tall, weighing 230 pounds, with a professional record of 9 wins and 2 losses, from a certain club in a certain province;
Qiu Dong, who is 1.92 meters tall, weighs 240 pounds, has a professional record of 7 wins and 2 losses, and comes from a certain boxing gym in a certain province;
Wei Yihong, who is 1.87 meters tall, weighs 220 pounds, has a professional record of 13 wins and 3 losses, and comes from a certain boxing gym in a certain province......
Gao Yuan looked down and glanced at his mouth.
Is this the so-called "high-spec" professional league? The level of the participating fighters is also secondary, right?
He flipped to another page, his eyes lit up, and he muttered, "It's kind of interesting......
Chen Zhenjie, 26 years old, 1.89 meters tall, 1.93 meters arm, 221 pounds, 19 wins and 1 loss in his professional record, from a city in the south of the Yangtze River, a retired boxer of the former provincial team, the heavyweight champion of the "General Cup" league, and the heavyweight champion of the "Oriental Star" Boxing League......
Compared with data, honors, and records, this hero defeated the other seven fighters in this competition, and can be called the most popular candidate to win the championship!
Gao Yuan knew that others could not stop Chen Zhenjie at all, and there would be a battle between them.
Hehe, I'm sorry buddy, the prize money is only 30,000 in total, of course the brother has to take the big head......
"It's over, it's over!"
Yang Kai, who was tossing the scales, suddenly shouted.
Gao Yuan squinted and said, "What? ”
Yang Kai said: "Officially weighed at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, my current weight is half a pound above the upper limit!" ”
Gao Yuan said: "What's the matter, just drink less water at night and be hungry." ”
Yang Kai said: "No! Let's go, go out with me, sweat, and what a tragedy it would be if tomorrow morning 'the sound of the waves is still there'! ”
Gao Yuan said: "Okay. ”
Yang Kai sighed: "I really envy you, I never worry about your weight, you can eat whatever you want......"
Gao Yuan said: "It's strange, you have always paid attention to your diet, and you have been practicing diligently recently, how can you be overweight?" ”
Yang Kai said: "I've grown up, and I'm two centimeters taller!" ”
Gao Yuan said: "I see, 'as soon as you grow taller, you will gain fat', and it is estimated that you will not be able to stay in the future!" If the weight pressure hurts the body, study with the coach and raise it to a higher level. ”
Yang Kai said: "Let's talk about it after the game, now it's the only way to go." ”
When he went out, Gao Yuan looked at him carefully and jokingly: "Dude...... Are you really getting taller? Why can't I see it? ”
Yang Kai said stupidly: "Get out!" ”
……
If the fighter is overweight, he will be disqualified, and there are nearly 20 hours before the weighing ceremony, which theoretically leaves Yang Kai with plenty of time. The brothers didn't take it too seriously, jogging around and exercising slightly.
At seven o'clock in the evening, more than five hours had passed since he finished eating Chinese food, Yang Kai stepped on the scale, and his face was distorted after seeing the numbers!
"! Damn it! ”
While cursing, he flipped out a special weight-loss suit like a madman, and put it on in a panic.
Everyone gathered around and asked in surprise.
Yang Kai said with a bitter face: "Half a pound over the standard, it doesn't work if you haven't drunk water for five hours." ”
Li Wangxiang said: "Quick, go out and run!" Watch the rhythm! ”
Yang Kai said: "Hey! ”
Two hours later, he staggered back sweaty, took off his soaked weight-loss suit and stepped on the scales again.
"Damn!"
"How?"
"It's a little bit more!"
"Then keep practicing!"
"Hmmm......"
Yang Kai redressed and put on his shoes and tossed again, and ran into the night.
When he came back for the second time, the corners of his mouth were chapped and his face was pale, as if he had been seriously ill. This time, he finally reached the target, and the number was fixed at the 135-pound limit.
Gao Yuan looked at a certain classmate lying on the ground panting, and felt pity in his heart.
Xin Yi still has time to rest and adjust, otherwise, the prostration caused by excessive weight loss will make Yang Kai become a weak-footed shrimp in the game, and let others ravage him! The hard work and cruelty of the boxing world can be seen from this!
