Prior to his February 6 bout with Julian Jackson, Wang Lei picked up what could be described as a heavyweight honor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He was voted Fighter of the Year in 1987 by The Ring magazine!

Founded in 1922, Boxing Ring is the most well-known and authoritative magazine for professional boxing and boxers. The events of the best boxing matches and best fighters of the year, voted by Boxing Magazine every year, are like Hollywood's Oscars.

Being voted the best fighter of the year by "The Ring" magazine is like an actor winning the Oscar for Best Actor.

Wang Lei fought a total of seven fights last year, with the exception of the one with Wilfred Betnes that took seven rounds of knockouts, the remaining six were basically knockouts in one or two rounds, and he also unified the 147-pound welterweight division, making him the first Chinese-American champion in professional boxing history.

This honor and record earned him the honor of beating double 190-pound welterweight champion Holyfield and heavyweight triple crown champion Tyson, and was named Fighter of the Year by The Ring magazine.

It's a pity that Wang Lei missed out on the best boxing match of the year and the year-end P4P king selection.

The fight of the year belonged to Leonard, who returned in April, and middleweight king Hagler, and while the match was a bit of a disputed match, it was an undeniably classic fight, with both Leonard and Hagler showing a high standard.

Although Wang Lei's seven-round knockout of Benitez seemed to be more exciting, because Benitez did not play well and his performance was not small compared to the past, he could not enter the eyes of boxing experts, so he missed the best boxing match of the year.

As for the year-end king of P4P, the result was that Tyson was elected.

The so-called P4P is the abbreviation of PoundforPound. It was "Boxing" magazine that only started voting in the 80s, and it is currently the most authoritative public voting list of fighters in the world. "PoundforPound" means to eliminate the influence of weight, and the comprehensive evaluation of various technical indicators of fighters is a leaderboard.

To put it bluntly, it means that if all fighters are placed in the same weight class and the skill remains the same, they will judge who is the strongest.

The first year-end P4P champion was Panamanian boxing champion Robert Duran.

At that time, almost all fans and experts believed that if all the fighters at that time were weighted the same and their skills the same, Robert Duran would definitely be invincible in the world.

Wang Lei thinks this kind of P4P selection is very interesting, because it can only be assumed and cannot be confirmed, a bit like Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong's meaning.

Under this assumption, almost all boxing experts and fans are more optimistic about fighters in the small and medium divisions, and heavyweight fighters are rarely selected.

According to the memory of Wang Lei's previous life, in this kind of P4P selection, only one heavyweight boxing champion has been selected as the king of the year-end P4P in the past 33 years.

That man is Mike Tyson!

Other heavyweight champions, even Holyfield and Lewis, who have beaten Tyson, have not been selected as the year-end P4P king.

Last year, Tyson only ranked second in the P4P competition, and '87 was the time when he became the king of the year-end P4P for the first time. And Wang Lei remembers that Tyson also defended his title for two years and was elected the year-end P4P king for three consecutive years.

Although Wang Lei was selected as the best boxer of the year in '87 by "Boxing" magazine, in the P4P selection, not only lost to Tyson, but also fell to the position of the third tanhua.

At the top of the year-end P4P list is Mexico's lightweight champion Caesar Chavez, known as the "God of War".

As for Leonard and Hagler, who played a boxing match of the year, they were ranked fourth and fifth.

Although he ranked second in the P4P selection, it is still a great honor for Wang Lei to be selected as the best fighter of the year by "Boxing" magazine.

This shows that Wang Lei's strength has finally officially entered the eyes of those boxing experts and has been recognized by them!

Sadler was so excited about this that he personally paid for the first time before the game to invite everyone in Wang's camp to a Chinese restaurant in New York's Chinatown to celebrate.

Of course, Wang Lei, who wants to compete, still has to control his diet, and he can't have fun, so he can only watch others have fun.

……

Madison Square Garden in New York on February 6.

Wang Lei's FBI Super Welterweight Championship with Julian Jackson has finally begun.

It is said that jealousy can make people motivated, Julian Jackson was stimulated by Wang Lei's net worth of more than 200 million US dollars and was selected as the best fighter of the year by "Boxing" magazine, not only felt the blood boiling all over his body, but also behaved murderously, looking at Wang Lei's eyes more fierce and fierce than last time, as if Wang Lei was his father's killer.

Wang Lei felt a little inexplicable.

Almost as soon as the bell rang for the start of the game, Jackson launched an onslaught on Wang Lei.

Stepping forward is directly a backhand heavy punch bombardment!

Although Wang Lei was startled by Jackson's eyes as if he had seen his father's enemy, his reaction was still extremely fast, and he instinctively attacked with a jab in his front hand, and the latter came first, hitting Jackson's façade.

Jackson's ferocious backhand punch was immediately defused!

Because of Sadler's consistent emphasis and attention, Wang Lei has worked jab practice. In terms of jab technique, he may not be as good as Leonard, who is widely regarded as the "jab master," but he is definitely a top-notch fighter in the mid-to-mid-tier division.

The action is standard, the punch is fast, crisp and sharp!

Against fighters with rough skills and slow reflexes, Wang Lei's jab is definitely the best weapon to control the pace of the match and steal points.

Three jabs landed in Jackson's face in a row, which not only stopped Jackson's onslaught, but also knocked Jackson awake.

Jackson calmed down, and his punches began to get methodical.

However, Wang Lei took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and the heavy punch combination was powerful again and again, constantly bombarding Jackson's head, chest and abdomen.

Jackson's jab was not as good as Wang Lei's, and he couldn't stop Wang Lei's heavy punch bombing with his jab alone, so he had to choose to attack against attack, and the two sides hit each other with heavy punches.

So the fans in the audience saw a hot and fierce battle and shouted one after another, feeling that it was enjoyable and did not spend money in vain.

After a minute or so of punching Jackson, Wang Lei began to feel that Jackson was nothing remarkable, and that "Knockout Wang" was a bit unworthy of the name.

Thinking like this, Wang Lei couldn't help but slow down his pace.

As a result, Jackson punched him in the left shoulder.

A heart-piercing pain came, and Wang Lei couldn't help but gasp.

His left shoulder was actually numb, and his left arm couldn't lift it a little.

Seeing Jackson punch again, Wang Lei, who was shocked, changed his posture to his right hand in front of him, and stopped Jackson's attack with a right hand jab.

Wang Lei is balanced left and right, and his right hand can also hit a jab, and the speed is not below the left-handed jab, and it must be more powerful.

Wang Lei, who was numb in his left shoulder, had to deal with Jackson with his right hand in front of him, trying to delay time with his jab and agility and reflexes.

Wang Lei, who received this punch, finally understood why Jackson had such a high knockout rate, and was called the "knockdown king" by later generations.

This guy's fist is too penetrating!

A punch hit the shoulder, and the pain went to the bone, as if it had hit the bone directly.

With such a strong penetrating power, people who are not strong enough in terms of resistance and willpower really can't stand it.

It's no wonder that the opponents he fights often fall to the ground suddenly after taking a seemingly heavy punch from him!

With such penetration, it is estimated that heavyweight fighters weighing more than 200 pounds will not be able to stand it!

I'm a little careless!

Thinking of this, Wang Lei had to concentrate and try his best to control Jackson's distance with his right jab to prevent him from hitting him again.

There are about thirty seconds left until the end of the first round, so just drag it out!

So in the last minute of the round, Wang Lei once again showed his amazing reflexes and dodging ability through "Nine Deaths Training", repeatedly avoiding Jackson's combination attacks, and was able to hit his opponent with a right jab to prevent his opponent from getting closer.

Thirty seconds passed quickly, and the bell rang for the end of the first round.

After Wang Lei returned to his red position and sat down, he immediately said to Ou Yangming: "Uncle Ming, quickly massage my left shoulder, my left shoulder was punched by that guy and I was numb!" ”

Ou Yangming didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and immediately stepped forward to massage Wang Lei.

Sadler took over Ou Yangming's task, cleaning Wang Lei's tooth trays, rinsing his mouth, and applying Vaseline to his face.

Although Wang Lei's masseur is Amanda, Amanda's massage technique is to relax Wang Lei's muscles, like Ouyang Ming's mastery of this kind of traditional Chinese medicine massage blood activation technique that can treat bruises, clear blood congestion and numbness, Amanda cannot.

Therefore, when encountering this kind of thing, it is basically Ou Yangming who comes out.

Ou Yangming's massage technique was really magical, in just one minute, Wang Lei felt that the numbness in his left shoulder had disappeared by half, and his left arm could be raised.

Before the bell rang in the second round, Ou Yangming frowned and said to Wang Lei: "The time is too short, I can't let you fully recover, in the second round, you still fight him with your right fist, try to delay the time, and when the third round you can fight him normally!" ”

Because Ou Yangming had already said what Sadler was going to say, Sadler didn't say much, just said, "Lei, be careful!" ”
