Chapter 116: The Battle Between Foreman and Tyson (2)

"Now for our champion, heavyweight triple crown champion Mike Tyson!"

Mike Baffel begins to introduce Tyson's profile. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mike Tyson, born on June 30, '66 in Brooklyn, New York, is not yet twenty-three years old. Standing just 1.78m tall and weighing in at 218 pounds, he is the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history and the undisputed world heavyweight champion recognized by the WBC, WBA and IBF boxing organizations, with a professional record of 36 wins and 33 knockouts......

Wang Lei was a little surprised when he heard this.

Tyson still weighs at 218 pounds?

In his previous life, many experts on the Internet believed that 218 pounds was Tyson's best weight, and he could perform at the best level under such a weight, with the same heavy punch power, speed and flexibility comparable to that of a lightweight fighter, and his style of play was not only the most powerful but also exciting.

Later, as Tyson gained weight, his speed and agility inevitably decreased, and his style of play began to become clumsy.

Especially when Tyson and Lewis fight, he weighed nearly 235 pounds, and although he seemed to be bigger, he moved slowly and moved clumsily, acting like he was at his peak, which was a big surprise.

Wang Lei also thought that after Tyson fired his former agent Jimmy and former coach Rooney, he would neglect training and inevitably gain weight, resulting in a decline in strength.

Unexpectedly, Tyson's weight was still maintained at 218 pounds!

Could it be that Foreman's opponent is completely incomparable to the nobody Douglas a year later, so Tyson does not dare to take it lightly, so he did not relax his training volume and maintain his weight at the best state?

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Foreman to win this game!" Wang Lei was worried in his heart, and muttered involuntarily.

Amanda, who was sitting next to him, heard his muttering and asked curiously, "Why do you say that?" Didn't you say Foreman could beat Tyson? ”

Wang Lei laughed and said: "That's because I had to say this in front of the media." Foreman and I were both students of Sadler, and in our Chinese terms, we were brothers. As a fellow disciple, I can't say that he will definitely lose! ”

Amanda asked again, "Then do you think Foreman can't beat Tyson?" ”

Wang Lei shook his head and said: "You can't say that, if Foreman and Tyson are at their peak, Foreman will have a better chance of winning." But it's just a theory, there are always a lot of unexpected factors in the game, who wins and who loses, it still depends on their on-the-spot performance, who plays well in the game, who can win! ”

"Sounds like you're more optimistic about your senior brother Foreman!" It was not Amanda who said this, but the person to Wang Lei's left.

Wang Lei turned his head and was surprised: "Mr. Ali, you are sitting here, what a coincidence!" ”

Sitting on his left is none other than boxing champion Ali.

To Ali's left sat his son, Abraham Ali.

"It's a coincidence, I'm wondering how these two seats could be empty, it's yours!" Ali greeted Wang Lei with a slight smile and asked, "Is that beautiful lady your girlfriend?" I thought your girlfriend was also Chinese? ”

Wang Lei hurriedly denied: "No, this is Amanda, she is my personal masseuse, not my girlfriend." I don't have a girlfriend, I only have a fiancΓ©e, she is indeed Chinese, she is currently studying at Stanford University, and she didn't come to the game! ”

"Oh, you're so lucky!"

As soon as Ali's words ended, he heard the sound of solemn music, and a searchlight shone in front of the door of another locker room, but it was Tyson who was about to play.

The door to the locker room opened, and the first to come out were black men holding the boxing belt high with both hands.

The three heavyweight boxing belts were held high by three tall and muscular black men with both hands, and it looked so eye-catching. Then there was Tyson, who was wearing a black shirt and black gloves, and with the support of his new coach and sparring partner, his expressionless face and cold eyes appeared like a big devil.

Don Kim Jong, with his flaming hairstyle, followed him with a smile on his face, as if he were accompanied by a cash cow with golden leaves.

When Tyson stepped into the ring, took off his black robe, and revealed a pair of dark and strong muscles, Wang Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The figure is really well maintained, it looks like I haven't neglected training, and I'm in great shape.

Ali's eyes were also fixed on Tyson, who was warming up in the ring, for a long time before he said to Wang Lei again: "Wang, do you still think Foreman has a big chance of winning?" ”

Wang Lei didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Mr. Ali, you fought with Foreman and Fraser back then, although you only fought Foreman once and Fraser three times. I want to ask you, who is the biggest threat to you, Foreman or Fraser? ”

As soon as these words came out, Abraham Ali couldn't help but prick up his ears, waiting for his father's answer.

Ali thought seriously for a moment before replying, "Well, I can't deny that Foreman is a bit more of a threat to me. Even though I beat him in eight rounds, he put a lot of pressure on me and I was able to win him thanks to tactics, intelligence, will, and even a little bit of luck. As for Fraser, although I fought with him inextricably, I won him purely because of my strength! ”

After a pause, Ali added: "Tyson's style of play is indeed like Fraser, but he is a little stronger than Fraser, and his physical fitness is also stronger. As you say, he's an enhanced version of Fraser! ”

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Despite this, I am still optimistic about Foreman winning!" ”

Ali smiled and said, "King, how about we make a bet?" ”

Wang Lei said in surprise: "Mr. Ali, are you optimistic about Tyson?" ”

Ali said: "Not really, but since you have to bet, if you choose Foreman, I can only choose Tyson." How, to bet or not? ”

"Well, bet on what?" Wang Lei is also interested, and there are not many opportunities to bet with boxing champion Ali.

Ali replied, "When I visited your China for the first time, you Chinese gave me a bottle of baijiu, saying that it was the best baijiu in China. But you also know that I have an illness that prevents me from drinking, and this bottle of liquor has always kept me alive. If you win, how about I'll give you this bottle of liquor? ”

"No problem, although I don't drink either. But next year is my grandfather's 80th birthday, and it's not bad for me to give this bottle of liquor as a gift to him. But what do I have to pay if I lose? ”

Wang Lei thought to himself: The top liquor given to foreign guests in China is estimated to be either Moutai or Wuliangye, and it is also the best quality. Ali's first visit to China was seventy-nine years ago, which means that this bottle of liquor has been treasured by Ali for almost ten years, and the quality is definitely better.

It's absolutely no problem to give it to grandpa for his 80th birthday!

I just don't know what I have to pay if I lose?

But Ali said, "If you lose, I don't ask you to send me anything, but I hope you will do my son Abraham a favor." Your match with Leonard in June, I hope you can convince Arum to let Abraham play the mat game. ”

Wang Lei was stunned, shook his head and said: "The matches between me and Leonard in June have been arranged, including the mat match, and it is very troublesome to add a pair of fighters, and Arum probably will not agree!" ”

Ali laughed: "How will you know that Arum will not agree if you don't try?" Abraham is my son, and his professional opening game will be very popular, and it will do you no good! ”

Wang Lei curiously glanced at Abraham Ali, who was sitting on Ali's side, and asked, "Mr. Ali, who did your son's boxing train with, and did you train it yourself?" ”

Ali shook his head and said, "No, it's Angelo Dundee, I'm okay as a fighter, but not as a coach!" ”

Well, Ali is self-aware, he didn't learn from the later Joe gang leader and smiling assassin, and was enthusiastic to be the general manager or boss, but he did a mess, which led to the end of the festival.

After thinking about it, Wang Lei replied, "I can try to talk to Arum, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree or not." Of course, only if Tyson wins Foreman! ”

"Thank you!" Ali smiled and thanked him, then looked away from the ring.

The match between Foreman and Tyson also began at this moment.

Tyson is an impatient who likes to go head-to-head with his opponents and destroy them directly with his destructive style of play. So every time the bell rings, he basically attacks first, and as soon as he comes to punch, he goes straight to the opponent's vital point.

This time against the former predecessor Foreman is no exception!

As soon as the bell rang for the start of the match, Tyson let out a low roar and quickly rushed in front of Foreman, directly with a left hook punch to Foreman's neck.

Foreman responded with a left-handed jab.

Foreman's jab prowess may not be as powerful as that of the likes of Ali and Leonard, but his jab is heavy and lethal.

If you are hit in the face by his jab, half of your face will be numb!

Under the numbness, the movement will be stiff, and then it will be too late to avoid Foreman's next backhand punch, and he can't afford to be knocked down by his punch!

Wang Lei had been taught in actual combat practice with Foreman last year, so he insisted on not letting Foreman's jab hit him during actual combat practice with Foreman in the last month or two.

It's just that Foreman didn't hit Tyson.

Later generations of fans know that Tyson's attacks are strong and his heavy punches are amazingly explosive, but they don't know that Tyson's dodging ability is also superb.

Especially at his peak, when he didn't gain weight, Tyson was under 220 pounds, and his ability to dodge made most lightweights embarrassed.

His "peek-a-boo" style is to duck down, dodge his opponent's punches by constantly bobbing his body and head from side to side, and punch his opponent hard.

This time was no exception, Foreman's jab to Tyson missed, and Tyson's left hook landed a solid punch to Foreman!

There was a "bang", and the sound made the audience in the first ten rows of the audience hear it clearly.

If you take a left hook from Tyson, you will be knocked out of concentration for a moment if you don't fall down immediately.

But Foreman acted as if he hadn't been hit, and his missed left jab turned into a hook and struck Tyson, who had lowered his head by a whole head.

Tyson dodged again, threw another punch, and hit Foreman again.

In the first minute of the first round, Tyson landed at least seven or eight punches to Foreman, while Foreman only landed two punches.

Tyson's resistance was also strong, and Foreman's two punches didn't have much of an impact on him, just giving him a pause in his flowing attacks.

Then Foreman gradually stabilized the situation and began to have a relationship with Tyson, and the two sides hit each other. (To be continued.) )
