On the morning of July 14, Gao Yuan flew to Newark. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As expected, the negotiations between the company and the challenger were going very well, and all the details have been finalized, just waiting for him to hold the signing conference.

In this match, IBF World Champion Gao Yuan, as the defending A corner, will face the challenge of "Left Boxing" Mitchell Mueller at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas on October 6.

In view of Gao Yuan's shocking knockout streak and the overall No. 1 ranking in the world, MGM and HBO offered him an appearance fee of $15 million, which is the same as the last big game Foreman, and has a certain share of tickets, broadcasts, and sponsorships.

As for Muller, he can only be relegated to the B corner, his fame is indeed greater than Gaoyuan, but because he was recently knocked down by Forman, he does not have any crown on his body, and the appearance fee is only 9.5 million US dollars, and the ratio of shares with Gao Yuan is also at a six-to-four disadvantage.

Lao Mu is 29 years old, 1.88 meters tall, 1.98 meters long, weighs 222 pounds, has a professional record of 37 wins and 1 loss, and won 32 knockouts, and was born in the slums of Brooklyn, New York. (It's a magical place in Brooklyn, where Tyson, Boau, Bridges, and all the other powerful boxing champions come from.) ）

Poor, less educated, and like his predecessors who became famous, Müller had a long time wandering on the streets, once arrested and imprisoned several times for assaulting white people, women, and even the police. After a long period of "re-education", Muller decided to change his mind and become a new person, so he embarked on the road of boxing. He started out in the light heavyweight division and then won back-to-back victories until he became the heavyweight champion.

The "Left Boxing King" Muller during the total victory period, with a beautiful right jab like a viper and a precise and heavy back hand, is a rare technical fighter in the boxing world, and his ability to defeat the triple crown champion Holyfield is a full proof of strength. Even though he had a "surprise" loss to Foreman in ten rounds, Muller's control and points advantage were far superior to those of the old champion.

All in all, Muller is the type that Gao Yuan has never encountered before, and he is quite threatening, and there is a theoretical chance of an upset. Technology VS power, there is never a shortage of highlights, and the outcome can never be predicted. For example: the demon king Liston, the devil Foreman, and the fireworks Fraser in the peak era, all of them are invincible and invincible, but after they met Ali, the boxing champion of "Bee Dance and Butterfly Sting", they were all put down......

After briefly discussing the details of the agreement with the old Dewar, and gathering partners, Gao Yuan and they immediately flew to Las Vegas non-stop, and the boxing signing conference will be held at two o'clock in the afternoon, which is very tight.

Four hours later, he was already sitting in the Western restaurant of the MGM Grand Hotel, ordering a full portion of steak, cod, shrimp, and vegetable salad, and eating silently alone. Gao Yuan said in his heart that of course he likes to eat Chinese food, but these things can better replenish his physical strength and meet his functional needs through simple Western-style cooking, so he has no choice but to follow the local customs.

Unexpectedly, he ran into an acquaintance - gold medal commentator and famous coach "Scarface" Atlas. Atlas is also a longtime mentor to "Left Boxer" Muller, who was named the world best of the year for guiding Muller to the top of the tournament over Holyfield.

Atlas looked strange, he sat down opposite Gao Yuan, and said meaningfully: "Gao, if we don't know each other, how good it would be." ”

Gao Yuan was stunned and said, "Dear sir, I don't understand what you mean. You are the first teacher I met in the United States, and without your special training, I might not be where I am today...... Where have I ever offended you? ”

Atlas said, "You misunderstood. I mean, if I didn't know you, if I didn't know you, it would probably be easier to train Mueller. The more you know, the more distress you get. ”

Gao Yuan: "......"

"To be honest, when Muller decided to challenge you, I was very rejecting and worried," Atlas said. Muller's skill is right against your strength, and your power is just enough to deal with his skill, just like Holyfield vs. Rydick Bowe, where you go to war with too much risk and can't predict the outcome. How to assign him a training plan was a big headache for me. ”

Belch......

Gao was dumbfounded.

Atlas was still the same Atlas he knew, honest and proud.

As for how Mueller prepares and how to train, Gao Yuan doesn't take him to heart, although Lao Mu is powerful, but when he encounters a top life-fighting heavy gunner, his chance of winning is basically zero. The several failures of Muller that Gao was familiar with in later generations are enough to prove everything.

Atlas's eyes flashed: "There are two of my proudest students now, Bridges has been knocked down by you and defeated, no matter what, I can't let Muller repeat the same mistakes, and to fight you is not only his challenge, but also mine." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Sir, I respect you very much, but this has nothing to do with the competition. Once I'm in the ring, I'm going to go all out to knock out anyone who stands in front of me, no matter who he is...... The results may disappoint you. Mueller was only two hundred and twenty pounds, and he couldn't beat me, and I only needed a punch to send him to hell in an instant. ”

Atlas got up and left, leaving behind a message: "Think about how the technocratic Ali made history and defeated the giant Foreman." The situation between you and Mueller is quite similar to theirs, Ali's miracle will be replicated by me! ”

Gao Yuan responded quietly: "I'm not Foreman......"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, at the signing ceremony, Gao Yuan finally sat down with the world-famous "Left Boxing King" Muller.

Every time he fights here in Lao Mei, it is an away game, and this time is no exception. Got rid of the limited number of more than 1,000 yellow-skinned compatriots, and there are more than 4,000 big-nosed boxing fans below, all of whom are die-hard fans of the "Left Boxing King"!

"Mitchell!" "Mitchell!" "King of Fighters!" "King of Fighters!"

With the sound of a tsunami of cheers, Müller raised the microphone.

He looked a little "thin", with a bald head, light eyebrows, a resolute expression, and murderous eyes.

"Yes, it's finally come to this day. I'm proud of my efforts. I trained hard, I was in good shape, I beat Bosa beautifully, I did everything I could...... As for Takato, he's a big stupid bear, he doesn't have the ability to catch up with me, I'm going to fly like a butterfly, cover his vision with a beautiful jab, and then punch him with a heavy backhand so he can't find his way...... Many people clamored to defend the dignity of American fighters, but they all backed down, I am the Julius Caesar who can save the boxing world, I am the real warrior...... On the night of October 6th, I will make a comeback and stage the myth of the century of hunters slaughtering brown bears! ”

Gao Yuan approached the microphone and said lightly: "Mr. Muller, is it April Fool's Day today?" Excuse me, who gave you your confidence? Where did you get the courage? I can tell you right now that the fight won't last four rounds......"
