Chapter 161: One Punch Changes the Ending
In June of '90, the most anticipated "revenge fight" between Tyson and Foreman was sentenced to a mandatory "anger management" course plus 180 hours of community service after Tyson beat up the reporter who interviewed him, which caused his and Foreman's "revenge fight" to be postponed to August.

But while Tyson and Foreman's revenge fight won't be watched, there are still three blockbuster bouts that caught the attention of fans in June.
The first, naturally, was Leonard's upgrade to super middleweight to challenge South Korea's WBC super middleweight champion Park Jong-ha.
Even if Leonard lost to Wang Lei in June last year, it still didn't hurt his super popularity, and this match is about whether Leonard can become a four-division champion with a boxing title
If he succeeds in defeating Park Jong-pa to become the WBC super middleweight title, he will become only the third boxing champion to win a four-division title after Hearns and Wang Lei.
It's just that Leonard and Park Jong-bal are in Seoul, South Korea, and few American fans can travel across the ocean to South Korea to cheer him on, so they can only watch the fight on television.
The second bout that caught the fans' attention was the WBC Title fight in the middleweight division.
Since Wang Lei was promoted to super middleweight, he can no longer hold the title of middleweight boxer.
The middleweight titles of the four major boxing organizations – the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO – are automatically vacant, and the four major boxing organizations naturally have to arrange for their No. 1 and No. 2 ranked fighters to fight each other to win the middleweight title of the organization.
The first to make the arrangement was made by the WBC, and the two fighters who competed for the organization's vacant middleweight title were both formerly defeated by Wang Lei.
Robert Duran and Ian Barkley!
Duran has been silent for more than half a year since he lost to Wang Lei the year before last, and then he was upgraded to middleweight to fight, seemingly wanting to chase Wang Lei and fight with Wang Lei again to avenge his revenge.
However, Duran, who was promoted to middleweight, had just reached the No. 1 fighter in the WBC middleweight rankings, and Wang Lei jumped to super middleweight.
As a result, the WBC arranged for Duran to fight the second-ranked Barkley, and the winner won the WBC middleweight title.
That's right. It's Barkley, the guy who once beat Hearns in an upset, won the WBO middleweight title, and then was knocked out by Wang Lei in 65 seconds.
Although this guy lost the WBO middleweight title after losing to Wang Lei. But dramatically, he was the second-ranked fighter in the WBC, so he was lucky to have another chance to win the finger-dye title.
However, whether Barkley can beat Duran in an upset like knocking out Hearns is not a big bet on anyone.
Most fans believe that Duran can defeat Barkley to become the new middleweight king of the WBC.
If successful, Duran would be the only other fighter in boxing history to hold a four-division title.
It is worth mentioning that last year, Wang Lei gave up the super welterweight super welterweight title when he was promoted to middleweight. The welterweight and super-welterweight divisions of WBC, WBA and IBF quickly arranged fighter fights, and there was already a new champion.
And what's weird is that almost all of these new boxing champions are defeated by Wang Lei's former subordinates.
The new welterweight champion is Donald Currie, the former unification of the welterweight division and even the first welterweight triple crown champion in boxing history, who is so popular that he lost three more belts not long after.
The only opponent Wang has ever fought since unifying the 147-pound welterweight division three years ago is him.
It only took Wang two rounds to knock out Donald Currie.
After Wang Lei gave up his welterweight title and upgraded to super welterweight, Donald Currie jumped out like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang and miraculously became a welterweight WBA and IBF champion again.
However, the welterweight WBC title fell to Wang's second-career opponent, Michael Nunn.
The two guys' agents are reportedly in talks to pit Donald Currie and Michael Nunn into a welterweight unification fight.
There are now three new champions in the 154-pound super-welterweight division.
That's Terry Norris of WBC. WBA's Mike McCollum and IBF's Julian Jackson.
Mike McCollum and Julian Jackson were both defeated by Wang Lei, who earned the WBA and IBF super welterweight titles at the time. Unexpectedly, after Wang Lei was upgraded to 160-pound middleweight, McCollum and Jackson regained their former boxing titles.
As for Terry Norris, the future 154-pound super welterweight ruler, Wang Lei didn't fight him, but he almost chose his opponent for the trip to Xiangjiang, only to choose Mugabi "The Beast" after weighing.
The trio also intends to fight in a unified fight, unifying the super welterweight division, and Julian Jackson and Terry Norris's agents have reacted the fastest, and have already arranged for the two to fight a super welterweight unified fight between the WBC and IBF on June 9 this year.
It's also the third and first bout fans are looking forward to in June.
June 9 happens to be the day of the premiere of Wang Lei's new film "The Sixth Sense".
Naturally, Wang Lei couldn't run to cheer for the match between Julian Jackson and Terry Norris, who had no friendship at all. Instead, he and his fiancée Zhou Yuwei attended the premiere of "The Sixth Sense".
The thriller drama, written by Wang Lei, directed by Zhou Yuwei, co-starring Tom Hanks and Macaulay Culkin, and distributed by Columbia Pictures, caused a sensation at its premiere.
Media reporters and film critics who watched the film at the premiere later posted articles praising the film. believes that this is the most connotative, exciting, and unexpected movie written by Wang Lei, which is better than "Butterfly Effect" and "Flying Over the Future".
The two leading actors in this film are extremely good, whether it is Tom Hanks or Macaulay Culkin. Especially the young actor Macaulay Culkin, no one thought that he could not only act in hilarious comedies like "Home Alone", but also in thriller dramas. And his acting skills are so good that even Tom Hanks, who won the Saturn Award for Best Actor and the Oscar for Best Actor nominations for "Butterfly Effect" and "Flying Over the Future" respectively, can't hold back.
The media and film critics also praised Zhou Yuwei's directing ability. I didn't expect Zhou Yuwei to be able to control such a connotative movie after directing a children's comedy like "Home Alone", and her directing skills are no worse than those big directors in Hollywood who have decades of directing experience, and she is definitely eligible for the Oscar nomination for Best Director next year.
Zhou Yuwei blushed after seeing these comments.
She knows very well that this is not because of her strong directing ability, but because the script written by Wang Lei is a storyboard script. Very detailed storyboard script, so detailed that almost every shot was drawn. A random third-rate director shoots according to Wang Lei's storyboard script, as long as he doesn't make clever and random revisions, there will basically be no problems.
After filming, you can also directly edit the script according to the storyboard. You don't need to use your brain.
Whether it is "Home Alone" or "The Sixth Sense", it is such a storyboard script.
Therefore, Zhou Yuwei feels that the reason why "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" is so good is all due to Wang Lei, and she deserves it.
The almost one-sided praise from the media and film critics, combined with the stardom of Tom Hanks and Macaulay Culkin, made the film a hard hit after its release. Nearly all of the more than 2,500 theaters in North America have an occupancy rate of more than 95 percent.
The film's success is a foregone conclusion, and many analysts even believe that the film's North American and global box office may surpass last year's "Home Alone."
Chand Kohler regretted it again and wanted to kill himself!
Because Japan's Sony suddenly made a move in the second half of last year to buy Columbia Pictures, and has tasted the sweetness, Chand Kohler, who does not want to lose Columbia Pictures, has been trying to prevent this acquisition. At the same time, they are also looking for someone to direct the sequel scripts of "Die Hard" and "Midnight Bell", to which Wang Lei has sold the rights, hoping to get a high box office again to give the company's shareholders some confidence not to sell their shares to Japan's Sony.
If it weren't for Macaulay Calgin being "poached" by Wang Lei in advance to film "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", there would be no schedule, and Chand Kohler might have made three films at the same time and made a sequel to "Home Alone".
It's because I'm busy dealing with Japan's Sony company. With sequels to "Die Hard" and "Midnight Bells" being filmed, Chand Kohler did not invest in Wang Lei's new film "The Sixth Sense".
Chand Kohler thought that a thriller like "The Sixth Sense", no matter how good the box office was, would only be like "Midnight Bell", and the North American dollar of 100 million dollars would come to an end.
I didn't expect him to miss out on a big gold mine again!
After the release of "The Sixth Sense", Chand Kohler regretted it and hated the Japanese Sony company that made trouble with him more and more, and vowed to be cheeky to participate in the investment no matter what type of movie Wang Lei made in the future.
At the same time, Chand Kohler is determined to prevent Japan's Sony from acquiring Columbia Pictures!
In the original history, Japan's Sony Corporation had successfully acquired Columbia Pictures during this time period, but because of the unexpected factor of Wang Lei's rebirth. The acquisition that led to the acquisition of the Japanese company Sony has not been successful until now.
After Wang Lei and Zhou Yuwei attended the premiere of "The Sixth Sense", they returned to San Francisco.
On the night he returned to San Francisco, Mr. Wang paid to watch the game between Julian Jackson and Terry Norris on television.
It was a great fight, but it was surprisingly over in two rounds.
Norrie Norris is a great technician. He moved quickly and thoroughly gained the upper hand in the first round, hitting Julian Jackson repeatedly with heavy punches, leaving Jackson embarrassed and barely getting knocked out.
By the second round, Norris was still in a relaxed manner. has always had the upper hand for most of the round, not to mention the audience, even Wang Lei thought Norris had won.
However, with the final minute of round two, Jackson suddenly pushed Norris to the lap. Just as Norris tried to escape, Jackson landed Norris in the chin with a right-hook that didn't seem to be very hard.
Just such a punch changed the tide of the battle, and Norris, who was originally alive, twitched like an electric shock after receiving this punch in the chin, and his whole body suddenly went limp.
When the referee noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to protect Norris, Jackson made another punch to finish Norris completely.
Wang Lei, who had been punched by Jackson, was sympathetic to Norris. (To be continued.) )
