Wang Lei's WBC and WBA welterweight championship bout with Marlon Starling is scheduled for August 2, again at the Caesars Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

August 2 is almost two months away from the last match on June 12.

This can't be helped, after all, Marlon Starling is a boxing champion, Wang Lei's popularity at this time is extraordinary, plus CNN cable news network has bought the right to live TV, in order to attract more viewers to buy tickets or pay to watch the show, it takes time to promote the hype.

By the time Wang Lei becomes a super-popular boxing champion on par with Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler, the interval between fights will have to be extended, and it would be nice to be able to fight three or four times a year.

Unlike the NBA, there are 82 regular season games in a season, which tires athletes like dogs.

For a full fifty days of free time, Wang Lei could not train at full capacity every day, which just allowed him time to write the script.

The script "Home Alone" for Zhou Yuwei is very simple, although Wang Lei only watched it twice in his previous life, and he doesn't remember most of the lines, but most of the plots are still impressive, plus he was an otaku for ten years in his previous life, and he has seen countless starting point novels and American drama movies, and his brain supplement ability is incomparable, and the lines and plots that he doesn't remember can be made up by himself, and he is guaranteed to be not much worse than the original book.

In less than half a month, Wang Lei completed the storyboard script of "Home Alone".

After Zhou Yuwei saw this script, she laughed again, and her delicate and innocent appearance made Wang Lei feel itchy.

However, Wang Lei was still a little uneasy about handing over the multi-million dollar investment of "Home Alone" to Zhou Yuwei, who was just 18 years old, and after discussing with Chand Cohen, he invited Brian Yoz, the director who had just finished filming "The Butterfly Effect", to be Zhou Yuwei's assistant director.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuwei did not object.

After completing the screenplay of "Home Alone", Wang Lei threw himself into intense boxing training.

At the same time, CNN Sports Channel once again sent an "acquaintance", and the beautiful reporter Erin came to San Francisco to give Wang Lei an exclusive interview, intending to make Wang Lei's boxing championship match with Marlon Starling another fire.

Because of the relationship with Wang Lei, Erin's questions were very direct.

"Wang, how confident are you in the August 2nd race?"

"Anyway, I've been watching Wilfred Benitez and Robert Duran all the time these days. I have to say that these two are really strong opponents, Benitez deserves to be the fifth king of the middleweight division after Duran, Leonard, Hagler and Thomas, and his strength is very good, both in terms of technique and heavy punches. Rafael Benitez won the youngest super lightweight title at the age of 17 and a half, and I was just 17 and a half years old. As for Mr. Robert Duran, who is on a par with Leonard, Hagler and Thomas, he is even greater, only 1.7 meters tall, but he can win in three divisions, and his strength is clearly stronger than Benitez. I'm more than 60% sure of beating Benitez, but I'm only 50% sure of beating Duran! ”

Erin was confused, and it took a long time for her to speak, "What are you talking about, king?" Isn't your opponent on August 2 Marlon Starling? What does it have to do with Benitez and Duran? ”

Wang Lei's expression was stunned: "What doesn't matter, Benitez and Duran are my opponents in the next and next game, I can't ignore these two!" ”

"What about Marlon Starling?"

"Ah, does he still need to talk? Not necessarily, right? ”

Erin was full of black lines, and thought: You are really arrogant enough, you are thinking about the next and next opponent, this is completely not in the eyes of Starling, I don't know if Starling will be furious after seeing this interview, and even let this game start early?

However, it is not a bad thing that Wang Lei is so "arrogant", at least he has got the news breaking point, and after the interview is broadcast, the ratings will definitely increase greatly.

After a pause, Erin changed the subject, no longer talking about Taslin, but talking about the match between Wang Lei and Bai Rentie: "Wang, your knockout of Korean fighter Bai half a month ago showed something different from the previous fight, such as the defense of the first round. You defended for an entire round without letting Shiro punch you, the reflexes and agility are amazing, many people have watched this game and thought of the defensive guru of the 40s, Willie Piper, how did you become so good defensively? We've analysed your previous boxing footage, and you didn't have that quick reflexes and flexibility before? ”

Erin's question was the most surprising and curious topic after the match between Wang Lei and Bai Rentie.

CNN Sports remastered the video of the first round of the match between Wang Lei and Bai Rentie, and edited several clips of Wang Lei dodging Bai Renquan's crazy attacks and playing them on TV repeatedly, which shocked many people and made Wang Lei gain a lot of fans again.

Some older fans compared Wang's bout to Willy Piper's win without a single punch, and found that Wang's reflexes, agility and defensive skills were no worse than Willy Piper's.

As a result, many fans have dubbed Wang Lei "Piper's second" and believe that he will become a new generation of defensive masters.

Of course, more fans are against the proposal.

It's not that these fans think that Wang Lei is inferior to Piper, but that Wang Lei is stronger. At least in terms of attacks and punch knockouts, Wang Lei is much better than Piper.

Wang Lei coughed dryly and replied, "This is the credit of my grandfather." In May, I was carelessly bitten by Takada Nobuhiko in the game, and my grandfather thought that my reflexes were too poor, so in order to improve my reflexes, I was specially trained for a period of time, which caused my reflexes to be a lot faster! ”

Hearing this, Erin said curiously, "What is the content of the special training?" ”

Wang Lei said: "This is a secret training method unique to Chinese kung fu, called 'nine deaths and one life', the practice method is more cruel and dangerous, ordinary people can't practice, and I don't recommend them to practice." Because my grandfather was a Chinese kung fu master at the grandmaster level and had a lot of experience, I passed the training and got injured! ”

Erin was even more curious, and asked again: "I've heard you talk about your grandfather before, it seems that your Chinese kung fu was taught to you by your grandfather since childhood, right?" Can I interview your grandfather? ”

Wang Lei refused: "No, my grandfather is old and doesn't like this, let's not bother him!" ”

"Oh, how old is your grandfather?"

"It's almost eighty!"

"Ah, what a long life!"

"Uh, thank you!"

"Well, since your grandfather doesn't want us to bother, forget it. Wang, can you tell us which is better or worse in Chinese kung fu, boxing, wrestling, Jeet Kune Do, and karate judo Muay Thai? This is something that people have been debating since your xenofight with Nobuhiko Takada! ”

Wang Lei thought for a while and replied: "If someone else asks me this question, my answer will definitely be 'There is no difference between high and low kung fu, the difference is that people who practice kung fu'." But you're acquaintances, so I'll tell you what I actually think. But remember, this is just my word for the family, don't take it too seriously. If anyone comes to me for trouble, I will not pay attention! ”

Erin nodded and said expectantly: "Don't worry, Wang, the United States is a country of free speech, no matter what you say, no one will trouble you!" ”

Wang Lei paused for a long time before he said: "Chinese kung fu boxing, wrestling, wrestling, Jeet Kune Do, karate, judo, Muay Thai, these are collectively called kung fu or fighting skills, in my opinion, they are mainly divided into three types, these three types are different fields, just like basketball and football, although they are both balls, but the types are not the same, it is impossible to compare which is better or worse, and it is not fair, it can only be compared in the same type to be fair!" ”

Erin asked, "What are the three types?" ”

Wang Lei said: "The first is battlefield fighting, the second is sports competition, and the third is stage performance. Let's talk about stage performances first, like the boxing routines or hard qigong that our Chinese kung fu only extended in the last century, such as breaking bricks on the top of the head, splitting bricks and stones with iron palms, locking the throat with a golden gun, crushing boulders on the chest, etc., which are basically the same type as the Chinese Peking Opera Wusheng somersault or the magic acrobatic performance of the circus, which belongs to stage performance kung fu, and even wrestling is also of this type. This type of kung fu looks amazing, but it doesn't have much actual combat ability, not to mention third-rate boxers in the boxing ring, even street gangsters may not be able to beat it. This type of kung fu, we in China used to call them fake tricks or street performers, and there is no difference between them and magic and acrobatics here in the United States, and it is up to the audience to distinguish which is better or worse. And sports competitions, like boxing, wrestling, judo, karate, Muay Thai and taekwondo, are mainly based on rules and one-on-one competition in the ring. Theoretically speaking, those who practice sports competitions will definitely have stronger actual combat ability than those who practice performance kung fu, and they will also have a certain degree of self-defense ability. As for which of them is superior or inferior, you will know as soon as you hit them in the ring. ”

"Of course, in my opinion, there is no point in arguing about the merits of sports because of the different rules, unless we can hold an unlimited mixed martial arts competition that Mr. Bruce Lee proposed back then, so that fighters from different genres can compete under open rules, just like my fight with Nobuhiko Takada."

Erin couldn't help but interject: "Wang, if this kind of unlimited mixed martial arts competition is really held, which genre of fighters do you think will have the advantage?" ”

Wang Lei said: "It's hard to say, it mainly depends on the talent and training level of the boxer." However, I think that if it is a standing fight, a boxer of the same level is definitely better in the ring than karate, taekwondo and Chinese kung fu. If you add grappling to the ground, those who practice ancient jiu-jitsu and classical wrestling are a little stronger. I've heard that there is a Gracie family in Brazil who are very good at ground grappling and joint fighting, and if there is an unlimited mixed martial arts competition, the Gracie family fighters will probably stand out! ”

Erin was surprised and asked, "Wang, listen to what you said, you are not optimistic about Chinese kung fu?" Do you think Chinese kung fu has no advantage in the ring? ”
