Chapter 151: The Tragedy of Holyfield
After the press conference was held again, Wang Lei and Hearns did not fight again at the press conference, but the media reporters on the scene were still very excited. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Rematches and trimatches between strong men are usually classic, and most of them are much more exciting than the first fight.
Think of the rematches and trimatches between Ali and Fraser, and later the rematches between Holyfield and Tyson.
If Hearns, who vowed to clear his name, had played in perfect form in a rematch with Wang, the match might have been completely different from the two of them, and could even win the best boxing match of the year.
And this is Wang Lei's first rematch with others, which has a certain commemorative significance.
Roy Jones Jr., who fought Wang Lei in his amateur and professional years, is not counted.
The media and fans alike need to see a great classic boxing match, and as for whether Hearns was really sick during the fight with Wang Lei, not many people care and not many people believe.
In the past few years, there are so many people who are looking for this and that excuse because of losing the game, and there is no novelty anymore.
All the media and fans need is for Hearns to burst into supernormal form in a rematch with Wang Lei and put in a super exciting and classic matchup.
Of course, there are also many people who hope that Hearns can defeat Wang Lei, and these people are starting to dislike watching a Chinese American dominate the professional boxing world with an all-fight and all-knockout record, pulling down their American pride and darling one by one.
If a white fighter can get such a result, they will only be happy, and the black fighter can barely accept it, but changing to a yellow person, or a Chinese person, they can't accept it.
Las Vegas' Gamco was also quick to offer odds for a two-man rematch.
Not surprisingly, Gourcing is still not optimistic about Hearns winning, but the odds are much lower than last time.
Analysts at Bochui believe that Hearns has already lost to Wang Lei once, regardless of whether he failed because of illness and poor condition, but since he failed, he dared to ask for a rematch with Wang Lei, and Wang Lei determined the time and place of the rematch. It shows that he has really been taught and stimulated, and he is brave after knowing his shame, and he may be able to burst out with unprecedented energy in the rematch, and successfully defeat Wang Lei and be ashamed.
What's more, there are four months until the rematch. It's hard to say what will happen in such a long time!
Of course, this possibility is still relatively low, because Wang Lei is much younger than Hernes after all, not yet twenty-one years old, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Who knows if he'll get even better by next March?
After the press conference, Wang Lei found that he had nothing to do again.
Back in San Francisco, in addition to helping to renovate the newly built boxing gym, it was all about training and learning.
Zhou Yuwei went to Hollywood to make a movie, which made Wang Lei feel that Stanford University was very boring, so he had to devote himself carefully to training and writing.
The rebuilt boxing gym is twice as large as the original, and much of the training equipment was funded by Wang Lei, who in return for a two-meter-tall portrait of his upper body hung on the front wall of the gym so that everyone who came in through the main entrance of the gym could see it.
Of course, there are portraits of Foreman. However, he was hung next to Wang Lei and became a foil.
There are two super signs, Wang Lei and Foreman, and more and more students are joining the boxing gym to practice boxing with Sadler.
However, Sadler is not something that everyone will take, not only depends on his talent and physical condition, but also has to test his mind to see if he is diligent enough in training and whether he can endure hardships.
Accepting students indiscriminately would only smash his own signboards, so when the new boxing gym opened, Sadler only enrolled fewer than fifty new students.
Of the less than fifty of these new students, only a handful of new students were mentored by Rodler, and most were coached by Crews, an assistant coach.
The most satisfying of these new students were De La Hoya from Los Angeles and one born in San Francisco. A fighter named El Kohler.
Sadler believes these two freshmen are the most likely to become champions in the future.
Needless to say, the future of De La Hoya is needless to say, for the fighter named El Kohler, Wang Lei deliberately looked at it.
El Kohler was two years younger than him, but he was bigger. Weighing at least more than 190 pounds, it is heavyweight. However, looking at his fat-bodied physique, Wang is certain that Sadler will definitely force him to lose fat, and El Kohler may end up weighing under 180 pounds, playing light heavyweight or welterweight.
El Kohler has a taciturn personality and carries a lot of weight with his fists. Wang Lei tried it out with him, and he also felt that this kid was good and would have a future in the future.
Provided, of course, that he can stick to it!
Sadler is a demanding coach who believes in the credo of "hardship in order to become a man", so he arranged for De La Hoya and El Kohler to train at almost the same intensity as Wang Lei and Foreman.
People who are not hard enough and not strong enough to persevere.
Wang Lei guessed that less than half of the nearly 50 new recruits could persist in completing the amount of training required by Sadler.
Maybe in two or three months, more than half of these fifty freshmen will be gone.
Of course, in the end, it is definitely the elite who remains, and the future achievements will not be low. Even if you can't become a boxing champion, you can make a name for yourself.
After training for half a month, Wang Lei went to Hollywood to visit Zhou Yuwei, who was filming, and watched the finished film made by Zhou Yuwei next year.
Although less than a third of the work was completed and there was no editing, Wang Lei still felt that the shooting was very good, better than the versions played by Bruno Willis and Haley Joe Osmond in his previous life.
What's more important is that the female character in this film, that is, the mother of the young actor, is younger and more beautiful than the actor in the previous life, and she looks a little familiar.
Wang Lei watched it for a long time before he recognized that this was Meg Ryan, who had collaborated with Tom Hanks in his previous life as the "sweetheart" heroine of "Sleepless Nights in Seattle".
After watching this one-third of the finished film, Wang Lei believes that as long as there are no problems in the later stage and the editors do not mess around, the effect will definitely not be worse than the version in the previous life.
After the film is released next year, maybe he will get more than 300 million US dollars in net income.
Because it's December 20th, and there are five days left until Christmas.
Christmas is like the Spring Festival for Chinese for Americans, and it is impossible to continue working, and Zhou Yuqiang has decided to give the crew a holiday after two more days of filming, and wait until after Christmas to continue filming.
Wang Lei planned to wait until the crew went back to San Francisco with Zhou Yuwei during the holiday, so he stayed.
Because of several scripts written by Wang Lei. Tom Hanks and Wang Lei have a very good relationship, and the two can talk very well. Since Tom Hanks participated in "Butterfly Effect" and "Flying Over the Future" written by Wang Lei, he has not only become popular, but also has risen in value. Now a villa has been acquired in Beverly Hills, near Hollywood.
After Wang Lei accompanied Zhou Yuwei on the set to finish filming "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", he was invited by Tom Hanks to live in his villa temporarily.
Tom Hanks married an actress named Rita Wilson last year, and the two have a good relationship and can be called a model couple in Hollywood.
Wang Lei remembered before he was reborn. Both are still together and have never been divorced.
With Rita Wilson here, it is not unnatural for Wang Lei and Zhou Yuwei to live in Tom Hanks's house temporarily, they talk to each other very much, and the four of them are like friends for many years.
On the 21-inch color TV in Tom Hanks' house, Wang Lei watched Holyfield and Ray Mercer play.
The result of the hand-picked defending opponent after Holyfield's shock defeat to Foreman came as a big surprise to Wang.
Holyfield actually lost!
The game was played less than six rounds, and Ray Mercer, a well-known "tough guy" in his previous life, knew that his skills were rough and he couldn't beat Holyfield, so he chose a very extreme offensive and non-defensive style of play from the beginning.
He completely ignored Holyfield's constant fists falling on him and on his head, and just tried to get close to Holyfield. Slammed his not-so-fast but heavy fist into Holyfield's head.
Holyfield was clearly uncomfortable with such a poor style of play for the first time, and he had the upper hand in the first round and didn't let Ray Mercer's fists land on him.
However, no matter how good Holyfield's defensive skills and footwork are, it is impossible to miss a punch. In the second round, he began to get hit by Ray Mercer's punches.
Ray Mercer's fist certainly doesn't weigh as much as Foreman's, but it's definitely not lighter, at least heavier than Holyfield's. Coupled with his desperate style of play, Holyfield was blinded and began to retreat and dodge.
The game seems to be about to turn into the kind of "chase and run" situation that Holyfield played against Foreman. But the difference is that Ray Mercer did not pursue Holyfield. He just moved his feet unhurriedly, calmly chasing Holyfield as if he were walking, and as soon as he approached, he threw punches.
And Holyfield approached him. He still only attacks with punches, but never defends.
In the sixth round, Holyfield, who was absolutely leading in points, was a bit overwhelmed, and he found that if Ray Mercer's unhurried style of play continued with him, his stamina would be exhausted in the final few rounds.
Holyfield, who didn't want to drag the match until the final round and won on points, stopped running, and he stood in front of Ray Mercer to fight against him.
The result was tragic. Despite being bruised by Holyfield's numerous punches, Ray Mercer was determined, and his fists were still decisive, hitting Holyfield again and again.
Eventually, Holyfield's arms were weak and he was punched in the face by Ray Mercer, causing his head to tilt back and his chest wide open.
Then Ray Mercer landed a straight backhand to Holyfield's heart.
Holyfield's face changed dramatically, and he collapsed clutching his chest.
The referee noticed that something was wrong and quickly asked the doctor to come to the stage.
After resuscitation, the doctor said that Holyfield had a heart problem and could no longer stay in the ring, and must be sent to the hospital for treatment.
As a result, Ray Mercer miraculously defeated Holyfield and snatched the heavyweight belt less than two months after Holyfield was in his possession.
Not one, but three!
In the blink of an eye, Ray Mercer replaced Holyfield as the new Triple Crown champion in the heavyweight division.
Such a result made Wang Lei stunned at the same time, and he couldn't stop laughing wildly in his heart.
Let you get scared, let you compete with your brother for the king of the year-end P4P, this is a tragedy!
Poor Lao Huo, probably never dreamed that he would casually choose a defending opponent, and he would actually have a heart problem five years in advance! (To be continued.) )
