Chapter 230: The Second M-1 Contest Begins

The time unconsciously arrived on October 1, the National Day of China on the other side of the ocean. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Here in San Francisco, the first day of the M-1 tournament officially began.

As early as a week ago, Wang Lei, Ou Yangming and Li Chao, the planner of the CBS sports channel, discussed for two days and reached an agreement, and held a press conference immediately after signing the contract.

The press conference announced that M-1 had signed a five-year broadcast contract with CBS, and that the format would be changed to a two-hour recording once a week. In addition, as long as the players who participate in the tournament play, regardless of victory or defeat, they will have an appearance fee.

Second, CBS has made preliminary contacts with TV stations in Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, Japan and other countries to discuss the sale of the rights to the "M-1 Competition" and the plan to start the "Global Sword Competition" next year.

Of course, due to time constraints, the "Global Sword Competition" will have to wait until after the end of this year's "M-1 Competition" to continue the discussion.

Today's "M-1 Tournament" is still held at the San Francisco Waterfront Coliseum, and in addition to CBS Sports, San Francisco TV still has the right to broadcast it.

The 20,000-capacity Seaside Coliseum was already full, and 32 official competitors appeared on the stage under the introduction of the host sent by CBS Sports.

The special guests are still the same three from last year.

A myth in the American martial arts world, Bill Valles, nicknamed "Super Foot"!

Bruce Lee's descendant disciple, Danny Eno Shandu, who has been selected as the "Black Belt Hall of Heroes" three times.

A legend in American martial arts and martial arts, a member of the Black Belt Hall of Fame, and the grandfather of kickboxing, Joe Lewis.

When the host introduced the three guests, Joe Lewis waved happily at the audience and smiled happily. Bill Valles and Danny Inosandu laughed a little hard.

It's no wonder that in last year's "M-1 competition", both Bill Valles and Danny Inoshandu had disciples participate and reached the round of 16.

However, this year, their disciples were all eliminated in the knockout round, and they were not even qualified to participate in the official competition, how to make them happy.

If they hadn't signed the contract earlier, these two might not even be guests.

I can't afford to lose anyone!

Wang Lei had long admired Master Bo very much, and insisted on not agreeing to be a guest, otherwise his mood would not be much better than that of Bill Valles and Danny Eno Shandu.

After all, Zhao Peng, the most valued disciple of the master, has not made it through the knockout round of the "M-1 Competition" twice in a row.

Last year, he was eliminated by second-rate boxer Ray Mercer, and this year he was eliminated by Mark Smith, a monster who had not systematically learned martial arts and was just a perverted physique.

If you describe the mood of the master, it is estimated that there is a feeling of a dog in the day.

It's no wonder that he insisted on not agreeing to be a guest.

Of the 32 players who officially participated, except for Wang Lei, who replaced Mitchell Muller, the other 31 players did not change.

Although the "M-1 competition" does not distinguish between weight and class, in order to give the audience a clear understanding, yesterday the California Athletic Commission and CBS Sports Channel led the 32 players who participated in the competition to measure their weight and height, and also gave them drug tests one by one to ensure that the competition is fair and just.

Wang Lei had actually measured it at the Sadler Boxing Gym.

Not only height and weight, but also strength, speed and punch power have been measured.

The height and arm span have not changed much, but the weight has increased by three pounds, and the strength of the fist has increased a lot after Wang Lei learned the strength skills of traditional Chinese arts.

Height 1.88 meters;

Reach 1.90 m;

weight 198 lbs (89.8 kg);

body fat ratio 4.5 percent;

bench press 305 pounds 20 reps, ultimate strength 510 pounds;

20 reps of squats 460 pounds, ultimate strength 1100 pounds;

775 pounds of power in a straight left hand;

Straight right hand power 1680 lbs;

Compared with last month, Wang Lei's strength can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

Sadler didn't know about the special training that Wang Lei received from his grandfather and father, and thought that this progress was due to Wang Lei's weight gain of three pounds, and he was very happy about it.

Sadler thinks that Wang Lei's talent is too good, and he has improved so much by only gaining three pounds, and if his weight rises to more than 210 pounds, winning the championship belt in a heavyweight boxing match is definitely nine out of ten, and no one can beat him!

However, Sadler was still a little worried that Wang Lei's weight gain would affect his speed and agility, so he specially tested his sprint speed and punching speed in the next 100 meters.

Sadler was shocked by the test results.

Wang Lei's 100-meter sprint speed reached 10.02 seconds, almost running within ten seconds.

At this speed, you are qualified to participate in the Olympics, and you may be able to break into the top three.

If Wang Lei is allowed to lose weight and practice sprinting, maybe the first yellow person who runs in 100 meters in less than 10 seconds will be born.

Fortunately, Wang Lei has little interest in participating in the 100-meter dash, otherwise professional boxing would have lost a heavyweight champion.

The speed of the 100-meter sprint was so fast, and Wang Lei's punching speed did not slow down, and he easily hit a punch speed of nine punches per second.

And the speed of his jab has broken through, the punch is so fast that Sadler can't see the shadow, and the piercing sound of the punch makes Sadler suspect that the speed of the punch has broken through the speed of sound.

Breaking through the speed of sound is certainly impossible, but Sadler feels that Wang Lei's punches may be faster than his other proud protégé, De La Hoya, who just won the lightweight boxing gold medal at the Olympics.

How is this possible, De La Hoya is a lightweight fighter, and Wang Lei's weight is already considered a heavyweight!

Is a heavyweight fighter punching faster than a lightweight Olympic champion?

Sadler suddenly felt that Wang Lei might be more of a freak than Mark Smith, who participated in the "M-1 competition" and was called an inhuman monster.

……

After the 32 contestants appeared on the stage one by one to the audience, the host explained the rules of the game again and introduced a few referees, and then asked people to bring a box and let the 32 contestants start to draw lots to determine the order of appearance.

As the founder and organizer of the "M-1 Competition", Wang Lei, who is also a contestant, was the first to participate in the draw.

Bad luck is not bad, the No. 6 pick was drawn, and if nothing else, he will have to play today.

After that, the remaining 31 players were drawn one by one from the highest to the lowest.

The first player to be drawn in the No. 1 draw was surprisingly Scott, the winner of last year's M-1 tournament.

Scott's opponent, who was drawn to the No. 2 pick, was one of the favorites, who performed a meat palm through the tin bucket on CBS Sports, and was considered "empty-handed and sharp" by American audiences, Aoo Uehara from Japan.

When Wang Lei saw the result of this draw, he couldn't help but sweat for Scott.

If Scott is accidentally stabbed in the stomach or throat by Uehara Aoo's hands comparable to Rishinobu during the game, he may die!

It's a pity that the draw is public, and Wang Lei can't change the result.

The No. 3 pick was drawn by Cowboy Detective Anthony Pitt from Texas.

The No. 4 pick was drawn by Frankie Benson, a casino bodyguard from Nevada.

The No. 5 draw was drawn by World Karate Champion Andy Haag from Switzerland.

Not surprisingly, the world karate champion from Switzerland will be Wang Lei's opponent today.

Andy Haag is a well-known guy in the martial arts world, and Wang Lei has heard of him in his previous life.

Nicknamed "The Blue-Eyed Samurai," he was the star of a K-1 tournament in his previous life, and although he had only won a K-1GP title once in a K-1 tournament, he was the most popular K-1 player, and his status in the martial arts world was on par with Peter Azzi.

And this person was also given the supreme honor of "Leg King" by martial arts fans.

Andy Haag practiced Jizhenryu karate, and he was the best at leg art, especially the lower split, and he was also the first fighter to apply the "lower split" to the martial arts arena, and his trick was called the "axe split", which was very similar to the later "willow leg split" Liu Hailong, but it was much more powerful.

It's a pity that although this person had outstanding abilities in his previous life, he contracted leukemia and died before the age of thirty-six, which is a big regret in the martial arts world.

Although Wang Lei had only watched Andy Haag's fight once on an online video in his previous life, he remembered Andy Haag's fighting style.

It's just that Andy Haag's fighting style is so distinct and outstanding that people are impressed at first glance.

Although Wang Lei admires Andy Haag's mental will and regrets his untimely death, Wang Lei will definitely not give in to this game, and he does not think that he will lose.

Again, standing fighting without grappling grappling, professional boxers are the strongest!
