In the mat match between Foreman and Holyfield, Wang Lei met an acquaintance again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bernard Hopkins, the future "Executioner," played his second cushion match against an unnamed boxer named Parker.

The boxing live host reported that Hopkins' current record is 2-3, and this is his sixth fight in the professional circle.

Such a record surprised Wang Lei, but he didn't take it seriously when he thought about it.

Hopkins did not play well when he first debuted, losing the first game, plus playing a game against Roy Jones Jr. in advance, and the record increased to a loss.

However, Hopkins is a fighter who gets better and better, and after losing to Roy Jones Jr. in '93, he dominated the middleweight division for 12 consecutive years, defending his title unbeaten in 20 fights.

Hopkins played well in this cushion match, vaguely showing the shadow of being called a queen in his previous life, and his punches were fierce and cautious and cunning.

Towards the end of three rounds, Hopkins, who had completely dominated him, finally exerted his power and smashed a hook hook combination into the chin of his rival Parker, knocking Parker down.

Hopkins added another victory to his victory, but the atmosphere was not enthusiastic, and the applause was sparse, and it was clear that not many people liked Hopkins' boxing style.

Far less good than his nemesis, Roy Jones Jr.!

Not to mention that compared with Tyson and Wang Lei's boxing style, they are completely different worlds.

In his previous life, Hopkins dominated the middleweight division for many years, but he didn't become popular, and his appearance fee was not much, until he defeated Trinidad and De La Hoya successively, and he was really remembered by fans, and since then his popularity and appearance fee have soared.

Therefore, to be a successful professional boxer, you not only need to have an excellent record, you need to have a beautiful boxing style, but also you need hype and publicity, so that all fans will remember you thoroughly. I'm so impressed with you that when you get to the next game, you'll instinctively buy tickets for the show.

It's the same as Hollywood blockbusters, otherwise you might be a boxing champion for years and be obscure. Few fans know who you are.

There are currently 17 divisions in professional boxing, and the three major boxing organizations of WBC, WBA and IBF, plus the WBO established last year, have a total of 68 boxing championship belts, not counting the continental boxing champions.

At present, only Wang Lei, Holyfield and Foreman have unified the belts of the three major boxing organizations, followed by two lightweight champion belts. Penel Vitak, nicknamed "Sweet Pea".

In addition to these four people, there are theoretically fifty more boxing champions in the four major boxing organizations.

But in fact, even the most senior fans may not be able to name these 50 champions, not even half of them.

Even Wang Lei, the boxing champion of three organizations and ten gold belts, doesn't know who the current strawweight, flyweight and other small-level boxing champions are.

In the sub-welterweight division, Wang Lei is familiar with only two people, namely "Sweet Pea" Vitak and Mexico's "God of War" Chavez.

So don't think that you can make a lot of money by becoming a boxing champion, in fact, even if a less popular boxer becomes a boxing champion, the appearance fee for three or four games a year may not add up to the amount of money that ordinary white-collar workers make in a year.

There are not many super boxing champions like Wang Lei, Leonard and Tyson, who are super popular, almost everyone knows them, and they cost tens of millions or even 20 million dollars at every turn!

After Hopkins and Parker are off the field. After another pair of unnamed fighters fought a mat match, it was finally Foreman's turn to fight Holyfield.

Wang Lei, who had been sitting in the audience as an audience, couldn't help but perk up.

I don't know if it's influenced by him, but now there are more and more fighters who like to do tricks at the appearance ceremony, and Holyfield is no exception.

Holyfield's appearance ceremony is certainly not as exaggerated as Wang Lei, but it is also singing and dancing.

At the beginning, there was a lot of loud music, and then the young Holyfield took a microphone and came out in exaggerated dance steps, dancing and singing while dancing and singing, led by two black beauties wearing only bikinis.

Holyfield, though wearing a green shirt, did not wear it. Instead, it opened directly to reveal a well-developed swarthy figure wearing only boxing shorts.

The guy apparently thought of this boxing match as his concert.

It's just that Wang Lei thinks that his singing is very ugly, as if it is a black rap song, but Wang Lei can't understand a word. And his dancing is even more ugly. It even made Wang Lei feel a little disgusting.

However, many black fans present screamed wildly, and their expressions were extremely exaggerated, as if they were welcoming a king like Michael Jackson to appear.

When it was Foreman's turn, the scene was much more serious.

Foreman was clearly an honest man, unaccustomed to exaggerated appearances, and did not engage in any tricks. He just wore a red shirt and walked out expressionlessly under the support of Sadler and other assistants.

Behind Foreman were three heavyweight belts held high by three black men.

Wang Lei looked at the three heavyweight boxing belts and was a little hot, and calculated when these three belts would belong to him.

Both Foreman and Holyfield were in the ring, and when they took off their robes, the difference in physique was immediately apparent.

Furman, who has been trained by Sadler since his comeback, has been weighing in at 245 to 248 pounds, which is a little slimmer than Foreman, who was over 255 pounds in his previous life.

But compared to Holyfield, it seems that it is much stronger, and the two are not at the same level at all.

Holyfield, who moved up from welterweight to heavyweight, certainly gained weight, but he didn't do much, and now weighs only 205 pounds, more than 40 pounds lighter than Foreman.

With such a light weight and Holyfield's height of 1.98 meters and 7 centimeters taller than Foreman, the two stood together like a fat man and a thin bamboo pole.

The audience who saw the comparison of the physiques of the two couldn't help but feel worried about Holyfield, worried that he would be beaten to death in the ring by Foreman's heavy punch!

The weight class of boxing is different from other classes, where the weight difference between fighters is rarely more than 5 pounds, and it is generally around 2 pounds. Heavyweight fighters, on the other hand, can have a large weight gap, more than 50 pounds, or even more than 100 pounds.

Theoretically, the weight difference is huge, and the probability of being knocked down and injured by a heavy punch is higher!

This is also the reason why heavyweight fights are more popular than other divisions because of the high knockout rate!

Foreman is recognized as the most lethal heavyweight boxing champion in the history of boxing, with Holyfield's weight of 205 pounds, Foreman punched the head by Foreman, most likely to break the cervical vertebrae.

This is the thought in the minds of many fans!

But Wang Lei doesn't think so.

In his previous life, Holyfield and Foreman only weighed about 207 pounds, while Foreman weighed 256 pounds, a gap that was even bigger than now, and as a result, the two fought for twelve rounds, and Holyfield won by points.

As the only boxing champion in the history of boxing in later generations who won the heavyweight championship four times and completely pulled Tyson off the altar, Holyfield not only has first-class skills and strong fighting resistance, but also is the smartest boxing champion, it is difficult to say whether Foreman can win him, and it is impossible to beat him to death in the ring!

After the game began, the process was as Wang Lei expected.

At the beginning of the fight, it was Holyfield who attacked first, this guy was as nimble as a lightweight, and the combination punches were smooth and fast-paced, and he chose to take the initiative as soon as he came, and his fists kept slamming into Foreman's head.

Foreman was blindfolded by Holyfield, and his head was bombarded with at least forty punches from Holyfield's combination punches.

Seeing this, the audience couldn't help but exclaim, secretly thinking that Holyfield would win this game, and he could knock out Foreman in one round, creating a miracle of winning big with a small one?

But facts have proved that these fans think too much!

Foreman's hard-hitting punches are not only the most lethal in the history of punching, but his resistance is also invincible. His head was bombarded with more than forty punches from Holyfield's cannonball-like combination punches, but Foreman held on and didn't even take a few steps back.

Towards the end of the first round, Foreman was able to give Holyfield a cold punch that nearly knocked Holyfield to the ground.

At the end of the first round, there was no doubt that Holyfield won by a big score.

In the second round, Foreman got used to Holyfield's style of play a bit and began to fight back, and successfully hit Holyfield, interrupting Holyfield's attacking rhythm, and then began to take the initiative.

Feeling bad, Holyfield immediately used his nimble sliding steps to dodge left and right and backwards, turning the boxing match into a chase match.

Foreman was obviously not as dexterous as Holyfield, and he couldn't catch up with Holyfield after chasing for a long time.

Holyfield then repeated the rhythm again in the third round, and he felt he had found a way to deal with Foreman.

It's a pity that this scene has long been expected by Wang Lei, and in the simulated actual combat five days before the game, Wang Lei has been using flexible footwork to maneuver with Foreman.

Holyfield's footwork is more agile and quicker than Foreman's, but how can he be more agile than Wang Lei?

Foreman, who was accustomed to Wang Lei's flexible and quick footwork, was calm in the face of this situation, chased Holyfield unhurriedly, forced him to the corner of the rope little by little, and then blocked Holyfield's escape with his huge body, and began to punch hard.

Holyfield was startled, and after ducking his head to avoid Foreman's backhand punch, he pounced forward and hugged Foreman.

Foreman, who was hugged by Holyfield, had to stop his attack and wait for the referee to step forward and separate the two.

So, Holyfield, who escaped from the catastrophe, once again used flexible and fast footwork to maneuver with Foreman, and once he was forced into a situation where Foreman had no way to escape, he desperately stepped forward to hug Foreman and waited for the referee to separate them.

At the end of the game, Holyfield felt he was in control of the pace of the match, and after the referee separated them again, he unleashed a stormy combination to take the points lead again. (To be continued.) )
