Chapter 81: Leonard's Rematch with Hagler
I don't know if I was stimulated by Wang Lei, Leonard, who has been preparing for almost a year, and even postponed the game for a while, performed better than last year's war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The body is sensitive, the feet are fast, and the punches are fast and sharp.
He really deserves to be a jab master, a representative of the technical stream, and at the beginning of the game, he relied on his amazing jab to gain the upper hand, and his fists like sharp arrows repeatedly hit Hagler, making Hagler a little embarrassed.
Hagler, on the other hand, is still as slow as last year, playing unhurried in the first round and acting like a second-rate fighter.
If he wasn't physically strong enough and his fighting resistance was amazing, he was afraid that he would be knocked out by Leonard in the first round.
The fight lasted for three rounds, with Leonard in total points and even landed several heavy punches that sent Hagler tumbling.
But Hagler managed to get through, and in the fourth round, Hagler began to exert his might, constantly approaching Leonard like a tank, and the heavy punches continued to pour down on Leonard's body like cannonballs, hitting Leonard to the corner of the rope.
However, Leonard was not to be outdone, and relied on his excellent body and footwork to get rid of Hagler's suppression, and the jab continued to fight back.
So the fourth round ended, and Leonard was not knocked down.
At the beginning of the fifth round, Leonard and Hagler began a chase battle. Relying on almost better "butterfly dance steps" than Ali and superb reflexes, he constantly maneuvered with Hagler, trying to control Hagler's distance with his jabs and not let him get close.
And just like that, the fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds passed imperceptibly.
Neither of the two was able to knock anyone down, but in terms of points, it was Leonard who had the advantage.
Leonard's jab in this fight was so good that he stabbed Hagler in the face and eye like a poisonous bee, stabbing Hagler's right eye with swelling.
Lin Linglong watched with relish, her three classmates looked drowsy, and Peter Allen, the kid, really fell asleep on Jefferson West's fat shoulder, and even snorted.
As for Master Bolin Changqing's expression was solemn, his eyes stared at the battle in the ring without blinking, as if he was rehearsing the strength comparison between these two and Wang Lei in his mind.
After the tenth round of the match in the ring, Lin Changqing finally let out a long sigh and said loudly: "Xiao Lei, are you going to challenge these two people next year?" ”
Wang Lei nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Master, do you think I am not their opponent?" ”
Lin Changqing said: "I watched your game last year on TV, and compared with these two, I feel a little choked!" ”
Wang Lei smiled "hehe" and said disapprerovingly: "I was indeed not the opponent of these two last year, but it will be difficult to say until next year!" ”
Lin Changqing said: "I hope so, you have to practice your footwork more, I think your footwork is not small compared with the fighter named Leonard!" ”
Wang Lei did not refute, this is a fact.
Leonard and Ali are from the same school, they are trained by the same coach, whether it is jab boxing or butterfly dance steps, they can be called masters, and almost no one can play in the small and medium-sized level.
Although Wang Lei is confident that he will be able to defeat Leonard next year, his current jab and footwork are really not as good as Leonard's.
Master Bo is right, he really needs to practice his footwork well. Of course, it's not the kind of footwork that my grandfather taught, but the footwork of boxing, such as sliding steps, small broken steps and wrapping steps, which must be practiced faster and faster.
Otherwise, defeating Leonard next year may be a bit choking as Master Bo said!
But for Hagler, King Ray has no such worries.
Hagler's strength is not below Leonard, but his boxing style is Wang Lei's favorite type.
Playing against Hagler, I am afraid that it will fall into the rhythm of a hard-hitting battle, and who knocks down who first depends on the comparison of the physical fitness, heavy punch lethality and mental will of both sides!
In terms of physical fitness and heavy punch lethality, Wang Lei doesn't think he's weaker than Hagler.
Hagler will be 35 years old next year, and his physical fitness will inevitably go downhill, while he is still on the rise, he will become stronger, and there is no reason why he can't do Hagler.
As for the spiritual will, Wang Lei is also confident that he will not lose to anyone!
In the tenth round of the ring, Hagler unexpectedly began to breathe a little bit to Wang Lei's surprise, but Leonard was still alive and well.
Leonard also saw Hagler's stamina decline, and instead of running around the court, he began to try to fight Hagler's heavy punches in close quarters.
At the end of the tenth round, Leonard still had the points advantage and hit Hagler several times with heavy punches.
In the eleventh round, Hagler's stamina dropped even more and his movements became a little sluggish, so Leonard punched more often. Jabs and combination punches continued to fall on Hagler's body, leaving Hagler almost powerless.
But Hagler held on stubbornly and didn't let Leonard knock him out.
Presumably realizing that there was a chance to knock out Hagler, Leonard unleashed a melee onslaught as soon as the twelfth round began, unleashing a steady stream of heavy combinations and jabs that were almost useless.
Hagler's movements were even slower, his stamina seemed to be exhausted, and he was a little unable to even punch and counterattack.
Wang Lei and many fans who supported Hagler at the scene were surprised to look at Hagler, who behaved completely different from last year, and were silent in their hearts.
Is this Hagler old or did he neglect training after the battle with Leonard in April last year, which led to a decline in strength, and his physical fitness was much worse than last year?
On the contrary, Leonard, who has obviously trained well this year, and his strength has increased unabated compared to April last year.
At the end of the twelfth round of the knockout, Leonard was still alive and well, just slightly panting, much better than last year's fight against Hagler, who was out of breath and almost couldn't stand up.
Hagler, on the other hand, replicated Leonard's appearance last year, and was so tired that he almost lost his breath.
There was no doubt that Leonard had won the game, and it was an undisputed big points victory.
The only regret is probably that Leonard did his best in the last two rounds, but still did not drop his physical strength very much, and Hagler, who almost never punches back, knocked him down and won the knockout.
This also indirectly illustrates Hagler's strong resistance to fighting, even if his physical strength is almost exhausted, he is basically just beaten and does not fight back in the last round, but he is stubborn and does not fall.
This kind of spiritual will makes Wang Lei have to feel admired!
But Hagler's performance in this game also gave Wang Lei a profound lesson: that is, you must not relax your training, no matter how long you have a vacation, you must train uninterruptedly, and always keep your physical fitness at the peak, otherwise you may capsize in the gutter!
At the end of the match, when Leonard and his coaches and assistants were hugging in the ring to celebrate the victory, they suddenly turned their heads to look at Wang Lei, who was serving as a spectator in the audience, and raised his right fist at him, which was very obvious.
Wang Lei couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
This scene was seen by a clever media reporter and successfully filmed.
Lin Linglong, who was sitting next to Wang Lei, also saw this scene and asked curiously, "Brother Lei, is he asking him to fight?" ”
Wang Lei smiled: "That's right! ”
Lin Linglong said excitedly: "Then when are you going to fight him?" ”
Wang Lei said: "Next year!" ”
"Ah, it's going to take so long, why don't you fight him this year?"
"I'm going to fight Robert Duran this year, and I need time to gain weight and improve my strength!"
