If you do win the jackpot, how much do you have to get for 42x the odds?
It's definitely a big deal!
As a result, many fans reported the idea of "hitting the big luck" and ran to buy Andris and won.
The company also saw the report, and although it still didn't believe Andris was capable of beating Wang Lei, it was still a little apprehensive, after all, Steward is not your average coach, and he doesn't have only one fighter under his command who is a World Champion.
In the end, the company lowered the odds to 30 to 1.
Despite the downward adjustment, the odds of 30 to 1 indicate that Bocai is still not optimistic that Andris can beat Wang Lei.
On September 10, the match between Wang Lei and Andris began.
Andris's performance in the first round took Bocco by surprise.
He actually beat Wang Lei back.
Sadler, Ou Yangming, and Wang Lei fans on the scene were all surprised!
Wang Lei, who fought Andris, was naturally surprised.
Andris's style of play was really aimed at him completely, as if he could predict his next move, interrupting his attack just right every time, and counterattacking, causing Wang Lei to take several punches.
Although Wang Lei reacted quickly to defuse Andris's heavy punch and was not hurt, in the eyes of the audience, Wang Lei completely fell behind.
And the three scorekeepers did not hesitate to give the score to Andris.
At the end of the first round, Andris won Wang Lei on points.
During the break, Sadler was a little anxious, but Wang Lei smiled indifferently: "Relax, Sadler, he can't win me." Steward has obviously really watched my past fights several times and summed up a set of formulas, and Andris is obviously completely aimed at my punching routine, but that's all, my style of play is not fixed......"
At the beginning of the second round, Wang Lei changed his style of play, and Andris unexpectedly also changed his style of play, still gaining the upper hand, and even miraculously avoided and countered a punch when Wang Lei made a left hook, successfully hitting Wang Lei's face.
The movements are neat, as if I have practiced with Wang Lei thousands of times.
Someone from the gambling company, who watched the game through a pay-TV channel, almost had a heart attack when they saw this scene.
1 to 42, although there are not many people who buy Andris to win, but it will definitely make Bocai vomit blood.
Fortunately, Andris's punch did not knock out Wang Lei, and Wang Lei did not have anything to do.
But Andris was still ecstatic in his heart, feeling that he was winning, and his smile was already uncontrollably on his face, and he played more aggressively, as if he wanted to knock out Wang Lei in the second round.
As a result, at the end of the second round, Wang Lei unexpectedly smashed Andris in the face with a backhook punch, and Andris was knocked to the ground alive.
When the referee counted to eight, Andris stood up, his smile gone, replaced by a confused expression.
Obviously, he didn't understand how Wang Lei knocked him down with one punch!
Andris, who continued to fight, didn't seem to have recovered from Wang Lei's punch, and he hesitated to fight, only to be crushed by Wang Lei's continuous heavy punches.
Fortunately, there were only a dozen seconds left in the second round, and Andris escaped without being knocked down again by Wang Lei.
The fans who bought Andris on the spot were disappointed, and the people at Bocai were gasped.
During the break, Steward didn't know what to say in Andris's ear, and Andris regained his fighting spirit.
In the third round, Andris attacked aggressively again, and seemed to be back to the first and first half of the second round.
However, almost a minute into the bout, Wang Lei landed another sharp left hook.
Just as Andris instinctively avoided Wang Lei's left hook according to three months of training and hit a straight left hook at the same time, Wang Lei's right hook magically bypassed Andris's left straight punch and smashed him in the face first.
Andris fell down again!
The state of Divine Courage only lasted for a minute before it was shattered!
Andris, who barely got up when the referee counted to "nine", looked confused again, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
Then in the next game, Andris no longer had the magic he had before, and the rhythm of the game was completely controlled by Wang Lei.
Two minutes into the third round, Wang first knocked through Andris with a heavy straight left and then burst into a barrage of punches.
Andris had no power to fight back, and finally couldn't resist after receiving three heavy punches from Wang Lei, and fell to the ground again.
This time, Andris couldn't get up.
Seeing this scene, Steward shook his head helplessly.
The assistant next to Steward couldn't help but ask him, "Coach, has your new tactic failed?" ”
Steward said: "No, the new tactics did not fail, at least in the first round Andris had the upper hand. It's just that Andris is too poor in ability, and he didn't use the new tactics well at all. And his psychological quality is too poor, he was timid when he was knocked down by Wang Lei's heavy punch, and he was in chaos, I really don't know how he became the WBC boxing champion back then? Surely this will not be the case if you were to play with Hearns! ”
“……”
Andris couldn't get up, and Wang Lei won another knockout victory.
Most of the fans in the audience were cheering, with the fans who bought Andris winning scolding and swearing, while the people from the company covered their chests with excited expressions.
Finally, there is no need to bleed heavily, and the bosses of the company secretly swore in their hearts while celebrating that they will never make such a disparity in odds again in the future, lest the heart will not be able to stand it when they get it!
After three rounds of knockouts of Andris, Wang's record changed to 23 wins and 23 knockouts from 23 fights.
At the post-match press conference, Wang Lei told reporters: Today's fight is his last light heavyweight fight, and then he will start to gain weight to the welterweight division, and the next fight will challenge the welterweight champion.
Wang Lei also raised his right fist and said confidently to media reporters: "By the end of next year at the latest, I will be able to unify the welterweight division, and I will enter the heavyweight division the year after tomorrow. ”
Wang Lei's words instantly detonated the interest of media reporters, and they raised their hands to ask Wang Lei questions.
It's a pity that Wang Lei has already turned around and left.
Still, Wang's post-fight press conference dominated the headlines, and even the news of his three-round knockout of Andris was swept over by major media outlets, and it didn't seem worth mentioning.
Almost all fans saw Wang Lei's speech, and their first reaction was disbelief.
It's not that I don't believe that Wang Lei will be upgraded to the heavyweight division, but I don't believe that Wang Lei will challenge Foreman!
I don't believe that Wang Lei can beat Forman!
Foreman is a heavyweight big man weighing in at around 250 pounds, and although Wang Lei is currently the light heavyweight king at 175 pounds, almost everyone subconsciously regards him as a pan-middleweight boxer.
Because Wang Lei started from the 147-pound welterweight division!
There is no precedent in the history of boxing for a welterweight fighter to move up to heavyweight and win the title!
The most successful player in the original timeline was Roy Jones Jr., who went from 160-pound middleweight to 175-pound light heavyweight. He then crossed straight over the welterweight division to take on the 225-pound heavyweight champion Ruiz with 193 pounds and won on points.
Unfortunately, after the points victory over Ruiz, Roy Jones Jr. immediately returned to the light heavyweight division and did not dare to stay in the heavyweight division.
In this timeline, early boxing fights aside, middleweights have yet to be promoted to heavyweight, and the closest one is Mitchell Spinks.
The boxer, who won the gold medal in boxing with his brother Leon at the Montreal Olympics in '76, was no worse than Wang Lei at the time.
Because he is the first boxing champion in boxing history to succeed from the light heavyweight division to the heavyweight title.
Prior to challenging then-heavyweight champion Larry Holmes, nicknamed "The Winning General," Mitchell Spinks had dominated the light heavyweight division for several years, winning all 28 fights. Before his first career defeat by Tyson, Mitchell Skepins' victory was 21 knockouts out of 31 fights.
Winning all 31 fights and knocking out opponents in 21 fights sounds like Wang's current record of winning all 23 fights by knockout, if not surpassing it. Because Mitchell Spinks has also defeated heavyweight champion Holmes who defeated Ali, and once, twice.
It can be said that Mitchell Skepins's limelight in the professional boxing world at that time was definitely not below the current Wang Lei, and many people thought that he would become the greatest boxing champion after Ali.
However, the future great champion was defeated by Tyson in 91 seconds when he challenged Tyson, and he retired from boxing after a big blow.
Foreman, who defeated Tyson and avenged his rematch against the returning Holyfield, is undoubtedly the most feared and powerful champion in the heavyweight division today. There are quite a few fans who even think that Foreman is stronger than Tyson.
Such an amazing strength and a 250-pound heavyweight champion, this Wang Lei, who has been upgraded from the welterweight division, actually wants to challenge him?
Almost everyone's first thought was that Wang Lei was crazy!
The second thought is that Wang Lei will definitely lose worse than Mitchell Skeppins when he challenged Tyson in '88, and maybe he will be punched to death in the ring by Foreman!
No way, the image of the heavyweight boxing champion is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if Wang Lei is invincible, a record from welterweight to light heavyweight, and won an unprecedented super boxing title of sixteen boxing titles in five divisions, few fans will still believe that he can defeat the heavyweight boxing champion who weighs 250 pounds.
Even if Foreman is Wang Lei's fellow brother, the two train in the same boxing gym; Even if Wang Lei once had a fight with Tyson and almost broke Tyson's egg!
Soon, however, Simon Bell of the San Francisco Chronicle published an article saying that he had witnessed Wang Lei's actual combat training at the Sadler Boxing Gym, and that Wang Lei's actual opponent was Foreman. (To be continued.) )
