Chapter 194: Proving Yourself to Be the Strongest in the World (5,000 Words)

I don't know what Ou Yangming did in the draw ceremony, the thirty-six registered players in the California Regional Qualifiers and the opponents drawn through the draw were all pairs with obvious strengths and weaknesses, resulting in the eighteen duels in the first round ended quickly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There is no group that plays three rounds and scores the winner or loser.

Scott's 20-second knock wasn't the fastest, as a black fighter named Richard in the seventh fight landed a punch in the face in the opening two seconds, knocking him unconscious.

To Wang Lei's surprise, the information showed that the black man named Richard was Bruce Lee's apprentice, and Jesse Glofro, the first disciple of Bruce Lee in the United States, learned Jeet Kune Do.

Richard's punch to stun the opponent is a Jeet Kune Do flip back punch, as soon as he gets a hand, he can smoothly stun the opponent with one punch, and the style of play and momentum are very similar to what Bruce Lee demonstrated in the movie "Enter the Dragon".

In the first round, both sides were strong and weak, and almost all of them ended the fight within a round, but it was Chekov who fought the longest, who took two and a half rounds to knock out his opponent.

No way, Chekov's lottery was obviously not very lucky, and he drew a big fat man who was about the same height as him, but weighed more than twice as much as him.

This big fat man is obviously a sumo wrestler, standing in the ring like a meat ball, not afraid of hitting at all, and his movements are quite agile.

Chekov, who has served as Wang Lei's sparring partner for three years, is naturally boxing, and his amateur record is already 130-25. If he hadn't been attracted by the "M-1 Tournament" with a prize fund of up to $5 million thrown by Wang Lei, maybe he would have become a professional fighter this year.

Able to serve as Wang Lei's sparring partner for three consecutive years, Chekov's boxing skills are rough, but his heavy punching power and physical fitness are very strong, no worse than the heavyweight first-class fighters.

But his heavy punch hit the body of this big fat man like a ball of meat, as if it hit an inflated tire, except for waving a piece of flesh ripples, it had no effect, and it couldn't even make the big fat man's footsteps retreat.

The big fat man stepped forward step by step, pushing Chekov to the wire mesh. The fleshy slap slapped him hard.

Chekov, who could withstand even Wang Lei's heavy blows, was slapped by the big fat man, but was slapped face down on the spot.

Then, the big fat man pounced on Chekov, who fell to the ground, and his huge belly pressed Chekov's face alive.

Wang Lei, who saw this scene in the VIP seat, couldn't help wiping a cold sweat. A moment of silence for Chekov in his heart.

He kind of regretted that he didn't let the "M-1 competition" limit his weight.

In my previous life, I once saw a saying on the Internet that if athletes of different genres were allowed to compete in the ring, players from karate, taekwondo, or Muay Thai would probably not be able to compete against sumo wrestlers weighing more than 150 kilograms.

Although not many people agree with this statement, it is true that sumo wrestlers with huge weights are difficult to deal with.

Sumo wrestlers aren't just fat wrestlers. In fact, well-trained sumo wrestlers look obese though. But most of their bodies are still muscles, and they are also relatively agile.

Not only does the sumo wrestlers have a super stable handset, but they are also very resistant to fighting, and they are also very powerful.

It is said that the strength of a sumo wrestler's tail finger alone is enough to lift an object weighing 200 kilograms. The power of a slap blow is definitely not inferior to the heavy punch power of a professional heavyweight champion.

Chekov's opponent definitely weighed more than 200 kilograms, although it was still far from the heaviest sumo wrestler who weighed 326 kilograms in his previous life, but compared to Chekov, who weighed only 95 kilograms, he was like an adult and a child, and there was no comparison in terms of strength at all.

When I saw Chekov being pressed to the ground by the big fat man with his stomach, struggling desperately like a drowning man, but he couldn't break free. Wang Lei couldn't help but want to change him to the stage and fight against this big fat man, what would be the result?

Well, with his reaction speed and footwork, which are much faster than Chekov's, it is absolutely impossible to be slapped and suppressed by this big fat man, but can his heavy punches knock down the big fat man?

I guess I can only win by points in the end, right?

The audience at the scene was stunned by this huge weight disparity, and all of them mourned in silence for Chekov, who was crushed under the belly of the big fat man, and many even closed their eyes and couldn't bear to look directly.

Apparently, everyone thought that Chekov had lost this game!

However, it turned out unexpectedly, and Chekov, who was crushed by the big fat man under his belly, struggled for half a minute. I still managed to break free.

I don't know if it's lucky, Chekov was pressed under the belly of the big fat man, and when he waved his hands around, he accidentally reached under the armpit of the big fat man and grabbed it fiercely.

The armpits are obviously the key point of the big fat man, so grab it. The big fat man's body shook, and the force that held down Chekov loosened.

Chekov took the opportunity to break free, and then rolled away from the big fat man in two in a row, and after gasping for breath, he got up as fast as he could.

After regaining his breath, Chekov once again bombarded the big fat man with heavy punches.

But this time he's smart. Every punch hit the big fat man's head, and at the same time insisted on not letting the big fat man get close to him, and fought with the big fat man while fighting.

When he had the chance, he even kicked the legs and knees of the big fat man with his feet.

Chekov's kicking skills were learned from Tonbutch and Scott, and he only learned two moves, one with a low kick to the thigh and the other with a low kick to the knee.

These two tricks are simple and practical, and it is not difficult to learn them with Chekov's qualities, although they are still far from being used compared to the leg masters, but it is enough to kick the big fat man.

Even if the big fat man's lower plate was super stable, after being kicked on the knee of his left leg by Chekov so continuously, he finally couldn't resist the knee bend and knelt down.

Chekov seized the opportunity, picked up his fist and smashed it into the head of the big fat man who lowered his two heads with a hook fist, and finally knocked the big fat man to his stomach with one punch.

The big fat man's weight of 200 kilograms fell to the ground with a bang, shaking the ring.

The referee stepped forward to take a look, and after finding that the big fat man was unconscious, he quickly blocked Chekov and declared him the winner.

Obviously, the match between Chekov and the big fat sumo wrestler is the most exciting and suspenseful match, just listen to the thunderous applause of the audience.

After the match between Chekov and the big fat man, the next few games were not very exciting, the strength and weakness were too obvious, and basically ended the game one-sidedly.

Eighteen matches in the first round. It took less than two hours to finish.

Luckily, none of the players were injured!

In the evening, local TV stations in San Francisco and Los Angeles and CBS broadcast the qualifiers, attracting more than 20 million viewers.

Most of the audience was attracted by this fresh and exciting game, and the praise was rave reviews.

Of course. There are also those who don't like it, and think it's very fake and ugly, and it's better to watch "M-1" than to watch wrestling and boxing matches.

On the second day, the "M-1" qualifiers continued.

The audience is still the same as yesterday.

The eighteen finalists continued to draw lots and were divided into nine groups.

Scott and Chekov were drawn to number 4. One is drawn to the 16th and still won't match.

The strength of the opponents in this round is no longer obvious, only two matches are over one round, three matches are played over two rounds, two games are played three rounds, and two matches are played full of three rounds, and the victory is divided by points.

In one round, the knockouts were Scott and the black man named Richard.

It took Chekov three rounds to defeat his opponent.

The second round was much more exciting, with more than 30 million viewers watching the match on TV in the evening.

Three people like Scott, Richard and Chekov have gained some popularity in the California area.

In the third round of the third day of the competition, one of the nine players who originally advanced will have a bye. But one of the nine qualifiers injured his wrist from yesterday's game. I had to give up and continue playing.

As a result, there are only eight players left in the third round, and exactly four games will be played.

Eight fighters drew lots again, and Chekov was unfortunate enough to get the No. 1 pick, and his opponent, the No. 2 pick, was the black fighter named Richard.

Richard, the black fighter who learned Jeet Kune Do with Bruce Lee's first disciple, was so powerful that he stunned his opponent in two seconds in the first round and knocked out his opponent in less than ten seconds in the second round.

And his style of play is very similar to Bruce Lee, and he also learned from Bruce Lee to let out a high-pitched scream when knocking out his opponent with heavy punches in the second round.

Therefore, the media nicknamed him "Black Bruce Lee"!

The "black Bruce Lee" is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms, which doesn't look like a class compared to Chekov's 2-meter height and 95-kilogram weight. But not many in the audience were optimistic that Chekov would win.

Including Wang Lei and Ou Yangming!

Sure enough, as soon as the game began, Richard kicked Chekov away with a classic Bruce Lee-style side kick.

If it weren't for the steel wire fence, Chekov would have flown out of the ring.

The power of Richard's side kick. It is estimated that it will not be much worse than Bruce Lee!

Fortunately, Chekov was punched by Wang Lei too many times, and his body was tempered strong enough, but he was not kicked by Richard to lose his combat effectiveness.

Soon stood up and continued to attack Richard.

However, Richard's reflexes and dodging ability were also amazing, and he easily dodged Chekov's chain of punches. Then he kicked Chekov in the left knee.

Chekov fell to his knees like his opponent in the first round, Big Fat.

Richard's punch slammed into his face.

With just one punch, Chekov was knocked to the ground with a "bang".

Naturally, this punch could not knock Chekov unconscious, but then Richard stepped forward and strangled Chekov by the neck with his right arm.

His hands were interlocked, and Chekov was locked like a lock, and Chekov couldn't break free no matter how much he struggled, but was strangled and rolled his eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee quickly stopped the game to avoid Chekov being strangled to death.

Chekov is out!

He was eliminated from the tournament in less than a round by "Black Bruce Lee" Richard!

Wang Lei was a little speechless, but he was relieved by Scott's next match.

Scott was also very brave, and he eliminated his opponent in less than a round, and performed no worse than Richard.

Wang Lei couldn't help but whisper to Ou Yangming who was sitting next to him: "Make a move at the draw ceremony, don't let Scott and Richard face each other in the semifinals, let them play in the finals!" ”

Ou Yangming nodded in understanding, and asked curiously: "Ray, if Scott and Richard face each other, who do you think will win?" ”

Wang Lei said: "Of course I hope it's Scott, but their strength looks comparable, and whether they can win depends on whether Scott is competitive enough!" ”

Ou Yangming was already familiar with the hands and feet at the draw ceremony, and Scott and Richard really did not draw together in the next round.

And these two people did not live up to Wang Lei's expectations. They all defeated their respective semi-final opponents and advanced to the final.

The final was played very well, and both Scott and Richard used all their energy, so that the audience held their breath.

Scott's punches are ferocious and quick to react. He has a lot of experience in actual combat, and Richard's legs are very sharp and he is also good at grappling.

The two played two rounds, with Richard leading on points. But in the third round, Richard took Scott down with an over-the-waist takedown. was grabbed by Scott's wrist and fell together.

Then the two got tangled on the ground.

To the surprise of the crowd, Scott was clearly better at grappling on the ground than Richard.

Richard's choke failed to get a grip on Scott's neck, but instead Scott grabbed his right arm. When Richard finally got free, Scott took the opportunity to elbow him in the face.

Richard's nose bone was smashed on the spot, and he immediately bled profusely.

Then Scott elbowed Richard's neck again, desperately holding him down.

After Richard persevered for half a minute, he finally began to roll his eyes because the blood supply to the brain was interrupted due to the suppression of the large arteries on the side of the neck.

As a special forces soldier of the Delta Force, Scott knew at a glance that Richard was unconscious, so he let Richard go without waiting for the referee to stop the game.

Scott, who stood up, also ignored the referee's view of Richard's situation. He raised his arms in celebration of the victory.

Wang Lei, who saw this scene, couldn't help laughing.

Scott finally lived up to his expectations!

I don't know how Nalleron is doing in Seattle?

With a bonus of $6.6 million, Wang Lei still hopes that it can fall into the hands of his family!

……

The qualifiers in Seattle were played a day later than San Francisco, so Wang didn't know the game was over until the next day.

Nalleron won, and it was easier to win than Scott.

In four consecutive matches, it only took half a minute or so to finish off his opponent, and he didn't let his opponent knock him down once, and he won very neatly.

Naleron's ultimate move is a kick!

Whether it's a high kick with a head kick or a low kick with a kick, it makes it impossible for opponents to dodge or block, and it is so powerful that the crowd will be shocked!

The local media in Seattle nicknamed Nallon "Lightning Legs"!

However, a week later, when all the qualifiers for the "M-1 Tournament" across the United States were over, it was not Scott and Nelleron who were most impressive, but former heavyweight champion Ray Mercer, who advanced in the New York area, and Carlos Leon, a former welterweight champion in the Houston area.

Ray Mercer and Carlos LeΓ³n are both professional boxers. They are all former boxing champions.

Ray Mercer was a heavyweight champion at the '88 Seoul Olympics before he became a professional boxer, beating Holyfield the year before to become the Triple Crown, and then lost to Tyson in the title defense to hand over the three belts less than two months after he arrived.

Despite only being the heavyweight triple crown champion for two months. But Ray Mercer is undoubtedly the biggest and most famous player in the "M-1 competition".

There is no doubt that Ray Mercer entered the "M-1 Tournament" for the $5 million prize money!

He's fought five fights in the New York area qualifiers, mostly knocking out his opponent in a single round. And his final opponent was Zhao Peng of the New York Evergreen Martial Arts Hall, that is, the most outstanding Chinese disciple of Master Wang Lei's Bolin Evergreen.

Zhao Peng's strength is extraordinary, but because he weighs 30 kilograms lighter than Ray Mercer, he can't withstand Ray Mercer's heavy punches. After three rounds, he was hit by a heavy punch from Ray Mercer, and he fell to the ground with one punch.

Wang Lei regretted that Zhao Peng's brother was eliminated, while viewers who watched the final between Ray Mercer and Zhao Peng questioned the fairness of the rules of the "M-1 competition".

Regardless of weight class, is it fair to have a 70-kilogram player fight a 100-kilogram player?

Wang Lei's answer to this is: Although the M-1 competition uses the mixed martial arts concept proposed by Mr. Bruce Lee, the rules are to restore the ancient Chinese fighting, and there is no weight class distinction in ancient Chinese fighting, not to mention 70 kg to 100 kg, and even 50 kg to 100 kg.

If you don't believe it, please take a look at the "Yan Qing Fight" in the classic Chinese novel "Water Margin".

Oh, by the way, in the United States, the best translation of "Water Margin" is "All Brothers in the World"!

Because of Wang Lei's insistence, the "M-1 Competition" is still regardless of weight class, but because of the match between Zhao Peng and Ray Mercer, some lightweight players still consciously gave up the game.

After watching Zhao Peng's performance in the first four games, no one thought that he was better than Zhao Peng, but Zhao Peng was still knocked unconscious by Ray Mercer's punch.

If you don't give up, wouldn't it be cruelty to face Ray Mercer in an official match?

In addition to Ray Mercer, another comfortable professional fighter named Carlos Leon was once the welterweight champion of the WBC, and interestingly, his WBC welterweight title was taken away by Holyfield.

It was when Holyfield defeated Carlos Leon in '88 that he unified the welterweight division.

It is no coincidence that both of the two professional fighters who competed in the "M-1 tournament" have fought Holyfield.

Many attentive viewers suddenly felt that they had figured out why Wang Lei would hold this kind of "M-1 competition", and they did not participate in it.

With two professional fighters, Ray Mercer and Carlos Leon, if one of them wins the "M-1 Tournament", wouldn't Wang Lei wait until next year or the year after to defeat these two to prove that he is "M-1" or the best in the world?

I have to say that Wang Lei really has this kind of thought!

The qualifiers are over, and the official "M-1" competition will not start until October 1, and Wang Lei has already completed his graduation thesis. With nothing to do, Wang Lei suddenly felt a little itchy in his fist.

So, Wang Lei asked Arum to arrange a title defense match for him, intending to play a game before the official match of the "M-1 Tournament" to have a good time.

Arum had obviously waited for Wang Lei to speak, and quickly secured a defending opponent for him.

Former light heavyweight champion and three-time WBC light heavyweight champion lost to Abraham Ali at the beginning of last year to Dennis Andris. (To be continued.) )
