Chapter Seventy-One: A Fighter from a New Fighting Kingdom
August 20th.
10 p.m
Lumpinee Stadium, the top 8 of the heavyweight competition.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the second group of the quarterfinals of tonight's heavyweight bout, and the first to enter is the blue boxer, George Murphy, from the Netherlands, who is representing Tiger MMA in Bangkok. Vane"
A burst of stirring rock music sounded, and Vane walked quickly into the ring to the rhythm of the music, walking straight to the ring.
This is a tall white boxer, more than two meters tall, strong as a mountain, two feet on the ground of the boxing ring, banging, a few steps to the bottom of the ring, a step, directly on the ring, over the low rope, to the center of the ring, arms crossed the boxer entry channel, waiting for their opponent to enter.
"Next, let's welcome the red boxer, Chen Sheng, a Chinese heavyweight from the Popam Gym."
Hearing the host introduce himself to the stage, when his voice fell and the music sounded, Chen Sheng put on his cloak and walked out of the boxer's tunnel first, striding and holding his head high, walking towards the ring in the center of the ring, followed by Frank and the members of the coaching staff sent by Popam Gym.
Now Chen Sheng has a certain popularity in the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, as soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted many cheers from the scene, and the applause immediately began to sound, these are fans or gamblers who have watched Chen Sheng's previous two fights, they welcome Chen Sheng very much, this is a fighter who can make them win money easily, and they should naturally support him.
Chen Sheng stepped on the rhythm of the music, and soon reached the bottom of the ring, and after a simple inspection, he stepped straight onto the edge of the ring, and then stepped into the ring, walked to his red corner on the ring, looked at the fighter opposite, and waited for the moment when the game started.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the second group of heavyweight quarter-finals has entered the ring, so let's keep our eyes peeled and get ready to enjoy this exciting, bloody Muay Thai fight!"
After saying that, the host left the ring and handed over the dominance of the ring to the referee of the match.
The referee walked to the center of the ring, motioned for Chen Sheng and Wayne to walk to the middle of the ring, began to check their gloves, and then carefully explained the precautions in the game to the two.
As the referee's right hand waved downward, a crisp bell rang and the first round began.
The two men in the ring struck each other with their fists, then each took two steps back, and as soon as they heard the bell ring, they began to move closer with broken steps.
"Bang"
Vane attacked first, and as soon as the two were close, Vane landed a forehand jab and left hand straight to Chen's face.
Chen Shengli used his arms in front of him to block his opponent's tentative attack, and at the same time, he stepped up with his left foot, swung his right leg quickly, and swept his opponent's leg back, and the swift right leg was whipped towards Venn's thigh like a steel whip.
"Smack"
A clash of muscles came from the ring, and Chen's kick hit the target, but it didn't do much damage to his opponent, and Wayne turned sideways in time to pick up the blow with the back of his thigh.
"Bang"
Vane hit Chen Sheng's front punch with another straight right hand, and it could be judged from the loud sound that the strength of this punch was not small, and it stopped Chen Sheng's forward trend in a timely manner.
After Chen Sheng blocked Vane's attack, his body turned to the right side, instantly narrowed the distance between him and Venn, and immediately swung his left arm, and a ferocious left hook punched to Venn's right ribs.
Wayne's defense reacted very quickly, recovering his arm almost as soon as his right hook was blocked, and at the moment when Chen Sheng's left hook was about to attack him at the end, Wayne retracted his arm in time and blocked Chen Sheng's attack with the outside of his right elbow.
"Bang"
Chen's hook hit the outside of Vane's arm, again without any effect, and only used the huge force of the punch to move Vane two steps to the left.
As soon as the two came up, they began to attack and defend quickly, the attack was fast and powerful, the defense was impenetrable, and the characteristics of the two heavyweight fighters were fully revealed in the ring.
The sound of "bang" continued to come out of the ring, and all the audience at the scene were immediately excited by the fierce battle, and the collective shouts for the fighters soon resounded throughout the boxing ring, accompanied by every attack of the two in the boxing ring, there will be a uniform "hi" shout, which gradually pushed the atmosphere of the boxing stadium to a climax.
Chen Sheng quickly fought several times after taking the stage, and he found that his opponent Venn today was much stronger than the previous two opponents.
Sure enough, the boxer who came out of the new fighting kingdom of the Netherlands, his skills are quite good, his movements are fast and powerful, and his offense and defense are very orderly, and he knows at a glance that the other party must have received very systematic and strict martial arts training, and it is estimated that he is the same as himself, he came to Thailand to improve his fighting skills, as expected, he should also be a member of the international heavyweight fighting arena, maybe there will be a chance to meet again in the international arena in the future.
Facing such a strong opponent, Chen Sheng felt that he became more excited, and the game became more and more interesting.
At this time, Wayne already knew more about Chen Sheng in the opening few quick exchanges.
In fact, he already knew something about Chen Sheng before the fight, especially when Chen Sheng knocked out Hust and Hilt in Macau, and he watched it many times.
After the Macau Fighting Championship, the results of the match immediately caused a sensation in the Dutch martial arts community, although Wayne has been in Thailand during this time, but after communicating with friends in the domestic martial arts world, he also learned the news.
He was also shocked when he first found out, he had no idea that the two kings of Dutch striking martial arts would be knocked out in the ring by the same opponent in the same tournament, which sounded like a fairy tale, and people couldn't believe it.
When he was in the Netherlands, he had played against Hust and Hilter, and he deeply understood how strong the two were, so he felt how unbelievable and even ridiculous such a result was.
As soon as he knew about it, Wayne began to look for the video of the two fights, and when he saw the real situation of the game, he couldn't help but be shocked by Chen Sheng's strong strength, and he was also a little glad that he and the other party were not in the same fighting event, and there should be no chance to meet in the short term, unless he didn't play MMA, changed to K-1, or Chen Sheng entered the MMA arena, so that he and Chen Sheng could meet each other.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that at the Muay Thai competition he participated in this time, he actually ran into Chen Sheng.
Wayne came to Thailand to learn Muay Thai is also to improve his means of attack, improve his own strength, has been in Thailand for three months, will soon leave, the reason why he participated in this Muay Thai competition, is also at the request of the gym, and at the same time he himself also wants to test his learning results, so he appeared in the current ring.
When he saw that his opponent in the top 8 was Chen Sheng, he couldn't believe it, wasn't Chen Sheng in Hong Kong? How did you come to Thailand? Could it be another person with the same name and surname?
When he found the video of Chen Sheng's first two fights, he immediately knew that he would be in big trouble, this Chen Sheng was the same Chen Sheng who knocked out the two Dutch kings in Macau before.
And through the video, he also found that Chen Sheng's strength has increased again, which makes him feel that things are even more tricky, but it is definitely impossible to make him retreat, this is a matter of the dignity of a fighter, so there is this fight.
As soon as the game came up, Wayne was already ready, changing the style of play in the previous games, playing cautiously from the beginning of the game, and striving to do not have the slightest flaw in both offense and defense, leaving no chance for the opponent.
Because he knew what it meant to give Chen Sheng a chance, even strongmen like Hust and Hilt had been lying in hospitals in Macau for a long time, and if he made a mistake, he didn't think his outcome would be much better than those two.
He didn't want to stay in a Thai hospital for too long, and in addition to not wanting to go to the hospital, he didn't trust the Thai doctors very much, and with their laziness, Vane didn't think their medical skills would be any better.
The short fight strengthened his thoughts, Chen Sheng's strength is indeed very strong, even stronger than what he saw in the video.
Obviously, in the first two games, he didn't do his best, thinking of this, Wayne's game mentality has completely become not to seek merit, but to seek no fault, all the footholds are put on defense, only if there is no problem with his own defense, he will look for some opportunities to attack.
In the second half of the first round, the match was completely transformed into a demonstration of Chen Sheng's Muay Thai offensive skills and Vane's Muay Thai defensive skills, and the two teamed up to perform a high-level Muay Thai offensive and defensive drill between heavyweight fighters in the ring.
The local audience at the scene is almost all old boxing fans with many years of experience in watching the game, and soon judged the gap in the strength of the two from the fight between the two on the stage, it is obvious that Chen Sheng's strength is much higher than that of Wayne, and Wayne himself should also know this, so he has always been in a passive situation in the ring.
The gamblers didn't care about the advantages and disadvantages of the scene at all, and the vast majority of gamblers in this field were buying Chen Sheng to win, so seeing that Chen Sheng had the upper hand in the ring, he naturally became very happy, and began to shout and cheer for Chen Sheng.
The rest of the audience is just watching a lively, the game situation on the field is indeed very lively, whether it is Chen Sheng's offense, or Wayne's defense, it is very ornamental, completely satisfying their desire to watch the game, the boxing gloves and legs in the ring continue to hit the human body "bang" sound, and the fierce battle picture has long stimulated them to be extremely excited.
"Hi-hi-hi-......"
Everyone cheered for him rhythmically with Chen Sheng's attack, and the scene became more and more hilarious.
At this time, Chen Sheng is not in a hurry to end the match, there are not many opponents with good strength like Wayne, and he wants to test the level of Muay Thai he has learned during this period by fighting with Wayne.
Wayne also fully understood Chen Sheng's thoughts at this time, and co-authored himself as a sparring partner! At first, he was still a little angry when he thought of this, but later as Chen Sheng's attacks became more and more proficient and fast, he also became a little helpless, so he had to accept this fact and hope that the game would end soon.
The first round ended in such an atmosphere, and with a crisp bell, both men stopped attacking and defending and began to return to their corners to rest and prepare for the next round.
Chen Sheng, who returned to the corner and sat down, turned to the water handed over next to him, and said to Frank:
"This fighter is good, much stronger than the previous two, it's a bit interesting to fight him, and after this round, I feel that my Muay Thai moves have become more proficient than before."
Frank handed Chen Sheng a towel, opened his mouth and said:
"Wayne is still a little famous in the Netherlands, his strength is good, he is currently a MMA mixed martial arts fighter, and his record is not bad, but I didn't expect to meet him in Thailand, it seems that he and you should have the same purpose, they are all here to learn Muay Thai, although your strength is stronger than your opponent, but you still have to be careful in the next game, Wayne has a lot of experience in the game, don't let him seize too good opportunities, otherwise he will still bring you some damage"
Chen Sheng looked at Wayne in the opposite corner, and said:
"I was thinking about it in the fight just now, he is likely to be a fighter in the international martial arts arena, but I didn't expect it to be MMA, it seems that after this fight, in the short term, we don't have much chance to meet, this opponent is still very good"
As she spoke, the bikini girl holding high the second round had withdrawn from the ring.
Chen Sheng and Vane both stood up and began to move closer to the center of the ring.
"Ding-"
A bell rings, and the second round begins. (To be continued.) )
