Wilfred Benitez is a game-changer with his punches, quick footwork, and defensive prowess, no worse than Leonard, the best of the four middleweight divisions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoBen Whistleson isn't touting when he calls him a "master of defense." Secondly, Benitez's physical fitness is also excellent, at the age of twenty-eight he is still at his peak, and his physical strength is not much worse than that of eighteen-year-old Wang Lei.

And this guy's fighting ability is also very good, and he can fight Thomas Hearns, nicknamed "The Killer", and Robert Duran, nicknamed "Rock Fist", for fifteen rounds, and his fighting resistance is very unusual. Wang Lei felt that it would be a bit difficult to knock him out in three rounds.

After studying for half a day, Wang Lei finally came to the conclusion that Benitez is a first-class fighter with excellent attack and defense skills, and has no weaknesses in terms of technology, and the only weakness is probably that the strength of the heavy punches is not strong.

Although Benitez is not low, his heavy punches are not as powerful as Hernes and Duran, and even Leonard is not as powerful. Naturally, it is even worse than the amazing Marvin Hagler.

Wang Lei felt that he should fight against Benitez, relying on his sufficient physical strength to increase the explosiveness of his punches, and fight Benitez to the end.

Even if Benitez could defend himself for three or five rounds, I don't believe he could defend seven or eight rounds, or even ten or a full twelve.

Didn't Ben Whyson say that he didn't have enough energy, then I'll attack for twelve rounds in a row and see what else you have to say.

Of course, the premise is that Benitez can actually defend himself against twelve rounds of attacks.

Wang Lei felt that this was impossible!

Boxing is not basketball, and you can't win a championship by defending.

The most important thing in professional boxing is the skill of attacking, the famous boxing champion in history, which is not strong in attack, no one can win the championship by defense alone.

Even Willie Piper, the defensive expert of the year, won the title by attacking, not simply defending.

Wang Lei believes that if he attacks continuously, Benitez will only be able to defend for five rounds at most if he chooses to defend and not fight back.

However, Wang Lei's idea was rejected by Sadler.

Sadler pointed out that Wang's style and style of play are somewhat fixed, and that his style and style have been thoroughly studied since Wang Lei made a name for himself in the professional boxing world.

For example, Marlon Starling's coach Eddie Fudge designed a response to Wang Lei's style of play, and as a result, Starling unexpectedly knocked out Wang Lei.

If it weren't for Wang Lei's strong fighting ability and the strong recovery ability of the "Tai Chi Tuna Technique" he practiced, he would have been knocked out in the last fight.

What Eddie Fuci can do, Benitez's coach can't do.

Sadler has inquired that Benitez's coach is Teddy Atlas, not your average coach.

In addition to Benitez, he also trained an Irish welterweight champion, and Atlas coached the Swedish boxing team during the '80 Moscow Olympics.

In addition to being younger than Eddie Fuch, Teddy Atlas's coaching ability and experience are not necessarily worse than Eddie Fudch.

Eddie Fuci can devise a response to Wang Lei's style of play, and Atlas can do it too.

What's more, in the battle with Marlon Starling, Wang Lei has already exposed his weaknesses.

Sadler's weakness is not that he lacks physical strength, but that his style of play is a bit fixed.

Wang Lei has only two styles of play, one is a rush heavy punch combination bombing.

To put it simply, it's a quick rush in front of your opponent, unleashing a combination of punches from close range, and bombarding until you knock your opponent out.

As long as this style of play is successful, opponents who are not strong enough to defend will basically be knocked out by him with a few punches.

But a master of the technical flow of footwork like Benitez is likely to get away with ease.

Another way for Wang Lei to play is to switch between left and right postures and add jab attacks.

This style of play is the one that Wang Lei will only use when his previous style of play is invalid or when the situation is unfavorable, mainly to control the distance of the opponent and look for opportunities to create conditions for the previous style of play.

In addition to these two ways of playing, Wang Lei basically has no other way of playing.

Although more than 90% of the boxing players in the boxing world rely on one style of fighting.

Middleweight champions like Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Joe Fraser, and middleweight champions like Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler.

But if a boxing champion who relies on only one style of play is thoroughly studied by his opponent or encounters an opponent with a similar style, the outcome will be very bad.

It's like Foreman meets Ali, Tyson meets Holyfield, and Hagler meets Leonard.

If it is said that the above three people were defeated by the opponent who studied their playing style thoroughly and found a way to deal with it. Then it would be a bit embarrassing for Hearns to be defeated twice by a fighter named Ian Barkley.

Thomas Hearns, nicknamed "The Killer" or "Cobra," was named Fighter of the Year in '80 and '84 as one of the four kings of the middleweight division, and won seven World Championship titles before retiring from the rankings, winning six titles in the welterweight, super welterweight, middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and welterweight divisions.

Still active in boxing at the age of 40, his overall record after retirement is 61-5-1, 48 knockout wins, and the heavy punches are incredibly lethal, once knocked out Duran in two rounds, and once knocked Leonard twice in the second point with Leonard, this fight was considered a draw by the referees.

In the top ten heavyweights of the welterweight division selected by later generations, Hearns ranked third.

is so tough, can beat Benitez and Duran, and draw Leonard's "killer", but there is a nemesis.

That nemesis is Ian Barkley, a fighter with a mediocre record and rough skills. However, he knocked out Earns in three rounds in his middleweight defense at the WBC in '88, next year.

If Barkley's three-round upset knockout of Hearns next year was a surprise, it would be surprising that Hearns met Barkley again four years later and was defeated on points.

Ian Barkley's professional record is mediocre, with a 43-19-1 draw and 27 knockouts, and he has never successfully defended his title after beating Hearns twice.

Such a person can beat Hearns, it can only be said that the two have a similar style, and Barkley is Hearns's natural nemesis.

Sadler is very worried that if Wang Lei's playing style is fixed, he will meet a nemesis one day.

Even if you don't meet a nemesis, your style of play will be thoroughly studied, and sooner or later you will be defeated. It's like the battle of the African bush between Foreman and Ali.

Sadler does not ask Wang Lei to change his playing style, but he hopes that Wang Lei's playing style can change, not just two fixed ones, it is best to practice a killer feature.

The killer move that Sadler asked Wang to practice was the left hook, which was a great way to break the deadlock when the tide was unfavorable, as well as one of the heavy knocks to knock out his opponent.

Sadler brought Wang a tape of a welterweight fighter named Pipino Cuevas. Sadler considered the man's left hook to be the most sophisticated and powerful he'd ever seen.

Wang Lei knows Pipino Cuevas as a fighter.

He had seen a video of Pipino Cuevas' fight against Hearns, who took just two rounds to knock out Cuevas and oust him from the welterweight title.

However, it does not prove that Cuevas is not good, considering that Cuevas is ranked first in the list of the top 10 heavyweights in the welterweight division, after him Trinidad and Hearns. He has a career knockout rate of 88 percent and a powerful left hook that was considered the most terrifying weapon in the welterweight division before being knocked out by Hearns.

Because Cuevas's opponents were basically beaten by him, not only knocking out, but he was able to beat his opponents to the point of breaking their skin and even breaking their tendons. It was his left hook that made it work, like an assassin's razor-sharp knife, that would bleed his opponent when he threw a punch.

It is said that Leonard chose Benitez over Cuevas when he won the championship that year, because he didn't want to face Cuevas's terrifying left hook.

Pipino Cuevas is still in the 154-pound ultra-welterweight division, and it's the end of his career, so he won't be able to play for long, and Wang Lei probably won't meet him.

Sadler has watched a few Pipino Cuevas fights and admires his opponent's left hook, so he hopes that Wang Lei can practice such a left hook as well.

Although Wang's heavy punches are powerful, his knockouts have largely relied on straight backhand and hooks.

Sadler felt that Wang Lei was in danger of hitting his opponent hard with straight backhand punches and hooks, because the range of movements was large, and it was easy to be cracked or even counterattacked when encountering opponents with technical flow or quick reflexes.

Marlon Starling took advantage of that last time he knocked him out.

But if you use a left hook, you don't have that worry.

Wang Lei felt that Sadler made a lot of sense, and the left hook of Pipino Cuevas on the tape was indeed amazing, extremely sharp, and much stronger than his left hook.

Wang Lei naturally hoped to practice such a left hook, so he obeyed Sadler's arrangement and seriously honed his left hook.

It is impossible to train a left hook to the level of Pipino Cuevas in less than two months, and Sadler has no such unrealistic idea, but hopes that Wang Lei's left hook will be more powerful than before.

But Wang Lei still gave him a surprise!
