Chapter 150: Unconvinced Hearns

Neeson and McKel moved quickly, and after taking Wang Lei off the ring, they immediately put on a black robe for Wang Lei under the cover of Chekov Ou Yangming and others, hid him from head to toe, and then ran towards the exit at the rear of the stadium with him.

By the time the chaos broke out and the stadium security guards came back to their senses to stop the chaos and call the police, Wang Lei had been magically taken out of the stadium by Neeson and McKel, and a Mercedes Benz stopped in front of them.

Neeson and McKel stuffed Wang Lei into the Mercedes, and Wang Lei realized that the driver who was driving was actually his personal masseuse, Amanda.

Amanda's driving skills are not bad, and when Wang Lei, Neeson and McKel got into the car, they immediately drove away, drove away from Ford Stadium, and drove directly back to the hotel arranged for Wang Lei by Arum's promotion company.

After taking a shower and changing clothes in the hotel, and waiting for another half an hour, I saw Sadler, Ou Yangming, Chekov and others returning to the hotel under the escort of Stonebugch and Scott.

Spoon Butch and Scott both looked completely unharmed, Sadler and Ou Yangming were not injured, but Chekov's nose was bleeding and his right eye was swollen.

Seeing that everyone was fine, Wang Lei was relieved. After consulting with Sadler and Ou Yangming, everyone decided to leave Detroit overnight and not even attend the post-game press conference.

Sadler called Arum and already knew about the chaos at Ford's Stadium, so Arum naturally agreed to leave Detroit overnight, and sent his men to drive them to the airport, and even prepared the air tickets for everyone.

Although it was a bit of a shame to leave like this to the 5,000 Chinese fans who supported him who didn't live at Ford Stadium, Wang Lei didn't care so much.

There are so many fans in Detroit that it would be dangerous for Hernes to stay here for a little more, and who knows what Hernes' impulsive and crazy black fans will do?

Wang Lei fell asleep on the plane.

By the time I woke up, the plane had arrived at the airport in San Francisco.

After getting off the plane and leaving the airport, Ou Yangming bought a few newspapers at the newsstand on the side of the road, and everyone learned about the result of the chaos at Ford Stadium.

The chaos was fortunate that there were no dead people, the security guards at Ford Stadium reacted quickly, the police came in time, and the person Wang Lei had already disappeared, and Hearns was also sent to the hospital, and the chaos quickly stopped after the police arrested a dozen grumpy troublemakers.

This chaos caused more than 30 people to be injured, but most of them were lightly injured, only five were seriously injured, three blacks and two Chinese, but they were not disabled, and they could be recuperated for a few months.

After reading the newspaper report, Wang Lei felt uncomfortable, and told Sadler and Ou Yangming that he was willing to pay for the medical expenses of the fans who supported him, but only his fans, and the fans of Hearns let Hearns be responsible.

Sadler and Ou Yangming naturally supported Wang Lei's approach, and Neeson and McKel and others would not have an opinion.

So after returning to downtown San Francisco, Wang Lei immediately held a press conference, and his agent Arum also came from Las Vegas to attend.

At the press conference, Arum first announced Wang Lei's decision with great appreciation, and then unceremoniously criticized the Killnes fans who caused chaos at Ford's Stadium, saying that he would never let his fighters go to Detroit to fight in the future, and emphasized that boxing matches are sports competitions, not only must there be fair and fair competition in a good environment, but also must protect the fighters and not let the fans make trouble.

This kind of fan who makes trouble because the fighter he supports loses is the most despised, and the most unpopular!

In the future, the three major boxing organizations of the WBC, WBA and IBF did not welcome such fans who could not afford to lose and were grumpy to watch the match.

After Arum's tough speech at the press conference, the spokespersons of the three major boxing organizations, WBC, WBA and IBF, all spoke to the media to express their support for Arum's decision.

Even the WBO, which was established last year and has not been recognized by the three major boxing organizations, has responded to the media in support.

As soon as Wang Lei and Arum held a press conference in San Francisco, Hearns and Stuward also held a press conference in Detroit.

Hearns, who was knocked out by Wang Lei in less than three rounds, first apologized to the media for the chaos at Ford Stadium with a very "sincere" attitude, and said that this kind of thing is the last thing he wants to see, and this kind of thing is also out of his surprise, if he was not beaten by Wang Lei at that time and lost consciousness, he would definitely stay at the scene and desperately stop this chaos, and would not "escape" directly like Wang Lei.

After apologizing, Hearns said he was willing to pay for the medical bills of all injured people at Ford Stadium, whether it was his fans or Wang Lei's fans, as long as they were injured in the chaos.

Finally, Hearns spoke to the media about why he was knocked out by Wang Lei in less than three rounds:

"I know I've disappointed everybody in this fight, and to be honest I'm disappointed myself, it's not my usual form. Three days before the race against Wang Lei, I was unexpectedly sick, because of the weight rebound, I was almost more than 168 pounds at that time, in order to reduce my weight to below 168 pounds, I didn't eat well or rest well, but the next day I had a fever, my whole body was weak, my doctor said I got the flu, advised me to stop losing weight and cancel the race. But I rejected the doctor's advice, I didn't want to disappoint the fans who supported me, and I didn't want Wang Lei to think that I was afraid of him, so I continued to lose weight after taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and finally dropped my weight to 167 pounds on the day of the fight, and then insisted on going on stage. I thought that with my experience, even if I was not half of the previous form, I could delay the fight until the last round, but I overestimated myself and underestimated Wang Lei, and you can see it. Wang Lei is indeed a great fighter, arguably the most powerful Chinese fighter of all time, not under Bruce Lee, not even under me. Of course, I'm referring to me who is in good shape, not me who is sick. Although he was knocked down by Wang Lei in less than three rounds while he was sick, I have already seen Wang Lei's strength clearly, and if he rematches me, it will be absolutely impossible to defeat me again, and I can beat him. Unless I'm really unlucky and get sick again before I replay him. But this kind of bad luck can't happen twice in a row, right? ā€

After a pause, Hearns said to the camera very seriously: "Wang, I want to have a rematch with you, as long as you accept it, the time and place of the game are up to you, even if you ask to go to San Francisco to play, I agree, and then I will let you see my true strength." Wang, do you dare to rematch with me? ā€

……

When Mr. Hearns held his press conference, Mr. Wang was helping to carry newly purchased training equipment in the new boxing gym, which had been rebuilt and renovated for the most part.

After watching the press conference held by Hearns on the TV in Sadler's office, Wang Lei was a little surprised and asked Ou Yangming, the only one present who knew how to "see the doctor": "Uncle Ming, was Hearns sick when he was playing with me that day?" ā€

Ou Yangming smiled: "I didn't see it at all, either his illness at that time couldn't be seen on the surface, or he covered it up too well." But I don't think this guy is really sick, he probably didn't adjust well before the game, like he didn't rest well or was not in good spirits or something. Every professional athlete has his or her ups and downs, even if you're a boxing champion, and Hearns is unfortunate enough to be in a slump when he fights you, but he really wasn't as good as he used to be! ā€

Sadler coughed dryly and said to Wang Lei: "Even so, you don't need to rematch with him, it's not worth interrupting your promotion plan for him, don't pay attention to him, anyway, your pre-game agreement doesn't say that whoever loses will have a rematch!" ā€

Wang Lei shook his head and said: "No, Sadler, I like to let my opponent be completely convinced of me, since Hernes does not admit defeat, then rematch with him, I want to make him convince me, anyway, he said that the time and place of the rematch are determined by me!" Besides, have you noticed that the opponents I have picked since my debut have only played one match with me, and no one has replayed with me, let Hearns make an exception! ā€

After a pause, Wang Lei said: "But even if I have a rematch with Hearns, my plan to upgrade cannot be interrupted, I don't want to stay in the 160-pound middleweight division, I want to fight 168-pound super middleweight." Didn't Hernes excuse him to lose weight because he had regained weight? Tell him that he doesn't need to lose any more weight, that we will all move up to 168 pounds and then rematch next year, and that if he loses to me again, I believe there should be no excuse! ā€

"168-pound super middleweight?" Sadler frowned when he heard this, and said: "Upgrade to a 168-pound fight, you won't have a boxing title, and then you and Hearns can only fight a no-title fight, even if Hearns wins, you won't have a boxing championship belt to take, do you think he will agree?" ā€

Wang Lei smiled: "If he doesn't agree, forget it, anyway, I gave him a chance to replay." If he really doesn't want to fight me without a title, then let him wait until I get the super middleweight title before fighting him! ā€

Sadler: "......"

Ou Yangming: "......"

As it turned out, Hearns obviously really wanted to have a rematch with Wang Lei to clear his shame, and didn't pay much attention to the boxing title or anything.

Because when Arum passed on the meaning of Wang Lei to Hearns' agent Stuward, Hearns agreed without saying a word.

So, after careful negotiations between Arum and Stuward, the time and place for the rematch between Wang Lei and Hearns were set.

The time is March 6 next year, and the venue is the Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas.

It was four months before the first battle between Wang Lei and Hernes.

And the appearance fee for the rematch between the two sides has also changed, because it is a game without a title, and the venue of the game is not a super stadium that can accommodate 80,000 people like Ford Stadium, so Wang Lei's appearance fee has not changed, it is still 20 million US dollars, but Hearns's appearance fee has dropped to 13 million US dollars, and Shengsheng has been reduced by 5 million US dollars.

Hearns felt very humiliated by this, but there was nothing he could do, who let him lose to Wang Lei, and before that, he also lost to Barkley, and the aura of "Killer" and "Heavenly King" has weakened a lot.

If he wants to regain his former glory, Hearns must defeat Wang Lei in the rematch, and if he loses again, he will completely fall off the altar, his aura will disappear completely, and the appearance fee may drop to less than 10 million.

After determining the time and location of the rematch, Wang Lei and Hearns held a press conference again. (To be continued.) )
