On the evening of June 6, the MGM International Hotel in Las Vegas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Nearly 17,000 spectators at the Hollywood Theatre were looking forward to it, all looking at the six-meter-square ring in the center of the arena, the lights were as bright as day, and the cheers shook the sky.

(Note: I have checked various information, probably because of the later renovation, the audience seats range from 12,000, 15,000, and 16,08, let's count the most.) Book lovers don't have to dig deeper. ）

The high-definition large screen pushed the camera to the star-studded VIP audience, and at this moment, more than 50 celebrities from all walks of life were overshadowed, because there was one of the greatest legends sitting there - boxing champion Ali! Where there is world idol Ali, all the stars have to stand aside honestly. Not to mention the side, Tyson met Ali when he was at his most beautiful, and he was as shy as a child.

Ali is 54 years old this year, and he has been suffering from Parkinson's disease, and although he is losing his ability to speak, fortunately his eyes are still smart, which shows that he is not currently in the terrible situation of dementia. Foreman belongs to Ali's lifelong enemy, the most fierce opponent, Ali can now come to cheer, not so much to inspire Foreman, but to remember the memories of his youth.

In any case, Ali's great achievements and fighting spirit have broken through the ring and radiated to the rest of the world, and if he can show up for a fight, then that fight is destined to go down in history and go down in history.

At around 10:20 a.m., the long cushion rounds were finally over, with challenger Foreman coming out first.

"Boom!"

The auditorium exploded instantly.

"America!" "America!"

"George!" "Champion!" "Champion!" "George!"

Among the 17,000 fans, at least 13,000 were Yankees, who gave their heroes all their passion, standing and applauding en masse.

Foreman, dressed in a white cloak and his famous red shorts, slowly crossed the wall. He walked steadily, unsmiling, and his serious face was smeared with petroleum jelly ointment, which looked shiny. The last battle is over, and there is reluctance and relief in his eyes, as well as the eager Sen Leng killing machine...... Yes, he is infinitely nostalgic for the square ring that brought him all the glory, but no one can beat time.

Foreman's appearance music is a song "Tall and Strong George", the melody has just been played, and tens of thousands of spectators have joined the chorus.

(Note: "Tall and Strong George" does exist in the information, but we can't find the content at all, let alone know the lyrics, so we regret that we can't appreciate the style.) Still, we can look back at the iron-blooded career of a generation of boxing champions, and it is actually a good thing not to know. ）

Foreman slipped into the rope ring and waved his arm, and wherever his fist was pointed, the movement would turn into a volcanic eruption, magnified tenfold in an instant!

The Olympic champion and boxing hegemon when he was young, the world champion and national idol in middle age, Foreman's glory and fall, rise and take-off are the excellent interpretation of the out-and-out "American heroic spirit".

Throughout the history of boxing, it has been extremely rare for an athlete to be so popular and loved like him. For example: five years ago, Foreman had a duel with Holyfield, and every time the new boxing champion Holyfield was hit by him, the audience below would inevitably burst into cheers that soared into the sky......

After saying hello, Foreman began to warm up with punches, his frequency of swings was very amazing, not at all like a forty-seven-year-old "old man", it was simply a miracle, and it definitely impressed onlookers.

(Note: The picture of Foreman constantly punching left and right has also been made into a moving picture by netizens, and occasionally it can be encountered.) When Lao Hu witnessed it for the first time, he was also surprised, he originally thought that it had been processed "faster", but later when he saw the video, he realized that people were really so awesome. ）

"Knock knock ......"

The drums exploded, and the defending boxing champion Gao Yuan appeared!

It was still the red flag that opened the way, and the gold belt followed, and he was still covered in black equipment with a calm expression. The high boxer has no idea of playing tricks at all, he is very simple and simple, just like his character.

"Ahh "Wow!"

"High and far!" "King of Fighters!" "King of Fighters!" "High and far!"

There were about 3,000 Chinese fans who came to the scene to help, which was the most Gao had encountered since his expedition to the United States.

After the fighters from both sides were seated, HBO's famous boxer Baffel did not start the usual introduction, but instead engaged in an exciting session: the singing of the contestants' national anthems. This kind of situation is relatively rare, usually happens in the most important competitions, the organizing committee arranged this way, which fully shows the importance they attach to this competition, and it is also a kind of encouragement to "see off the old boxing champion".

Soon, "March of the Volunteers" was played for the first time at MGM in Las Vegas!

Team member Guo Chuang invited Gao Yuan is the famous tenor teacher Mo Warren, who happened to perform in the United States at this time.

"Rise up, those who do not want to be slaves, build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall, and the Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time...... Forward, forward, forward, forward! ”

Once Mr. Mo's majestic and sonorous voice spread, it immediately caused a collective chorus of Chinese fans in the audience, and Gao Yuan's lips murmured, feeling extremely proud and glorious. This is the happiest moment of his life, and it is a supreme honor to be able to fight with the national anthem on such an occasion, and to show his skills under the gaze of boxing champion Ali, although there is no regret in death.

After the Chinese side, Lao Mei's "Starry Flag" was also sung immediately. Gao Yuanhe didn't care who the American side was performing on stage, he just stood silently and maintained basic etiquette.

The ceremony finally ended, and the audience applauded.

The well-dressed "gentleman" host Bafel held the microphone and said in a loud voice: "Gentlemen and ladies, this is the MGM Grand Las Vegas, the scene of the IBF heavyweight boxing championship, please allow me to introduce a special guest first, he is our proud, great world champion, indomitable fighter - ...... Mohammed Ali."

"Boom!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Ali!" "Ali!" "Hero!" "Hero!"

Ali struggled to stand up with the help of his relatives next to him, he waved his hand tremblingly, and his mouth seemed to be saying: Thank you, thank you...... No matter what skin or nationality, the audience was frantically chanting his name, and some fans even shed tears of emotion.

The process continues after a brief interruption. One thing worth mentioning is that the authority on the fight is the internationally renowned boxing referee Koze, who has a sparse white head and a lovely smile, nodding frequently at the camera.

"Our challenger, from Texas, is a former Olympic champion and former heavyweight champion, 47 years old, 1.93 meters tall, 2.08 meters in reach, weighing 258 pounds, 74-4 in his career, and 68 knockouts...... You...... Long! ”

"Yay!" "Ahh

"George!" "George!" "George ......"

Foreman lifted his cloak, revealing his white teeth, grinning and bouncing around as he pounced.

"Our defending champion, from China, former WBO heavyweight champion and current IBF World Champion, is 24 years old, 1.95 meters tall, 2.08 meters in reach, weighs 252 pounds, has a professional record of 38 fights and zero losses, and won 38 knockouts! He is the 'killer' Gao ...... Far! ”

"Wow!" "Oh......"

"High and far!" "King of Fighters!" "King of Fighters!" "High ......"

Gao Yuan took off his robe and waved his arms, his eyes were firm and unyielding, and his fighting spirit was high!

After all the sessions were completed, Bafel finally sang in a long voice: "Gentlemen and ladies, let us go forward!" ”

With all kinds of noisy noise, the applause was sparse and deafening! The much-anticipated battle between the two generations of heavy gunners finally began, and the powerful slashing of Mars hitting the earth was suddenly passionately staged......
