Chapter 145: Secret Competition with Holyfield

Wang Lei did not return to San Francisco, but stayed in Atlantic City with Sadler, Ou Yangming and others. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sadler's boxing gym was destroyed by the earthquake and is currently being rebuilt, leaving him with nowhere to train back in San Francisco. And the boxing gym that Arum rented to Foreman in Atlantic City was very good.

After discussing with Sadler and Arum Wang Lei, he decided to extend the rental period of this boxing gym and stay in Atlantic City for 25 days to train, then go directly to Detroit to compete, and then return to San Francisco after the fight.

In addition to the three bodyguards of Nissenston Butch and Scott, only Chekov was left with a meat shield sparring partner. Cruise had to return to San Francisco to oversee the construction of the boxing gym.

Cruise has been promoted to assistant coach for Sadler in recent years, training rookie fighters for Sadler, and Delahioa is currently training with him.

Sadler once said, consciously or unconsciously, that when he was 100 years old, he would leave the boxing gym to Cruise.

That's why Cruise is very interested in rebuilding the boxing gym, this is his future!

There is no Cruise, only Chekov, who can only be a meat shield, as a sparring partner, which is a bit too boring, but fortunately there are two Spoon Bug and Scott.

Spoon Butch and Scott, two special forces soldiers from the Delta Force and trained by McKale himself, are naturally not low in hand-to-hand combat ability, and they are also unexpectedly proficient in boxing.

Wang Lei couldn't help but call Scott, who was a "spectator" in the audience, to fight with him after he was annoyed by the meat shield of Chekov.

It turned out that Scott's actual combat ability was unexpectedly strong, and when he was restricted to "play" with Wang Lei with the rules of boxing, his strength was much stronger than Chekov Cruise, and even Harrison, a professional sparring partner who stayed in San Francisco and did not come, was much stronger.

Wang Lei was pleasantly surprised, and after a round with Scott, he called Stonebug up.

As a result, the personality is not worse than Scott's serious and serious Stonebuch's actual combat ability, and even surpasses it.

After asking, I learned that Stonebuch was a professional boxer before joining the army, and he once planned to be a professional boxer, but later became a soldier, and the matter was over.

Stambuch and Scott are on par in hand-to-hand combat, but boxing is more skilled, while Scott is better at kickboxing.

In addition, both of them weigh about 180 pounds, which is equivalent to light heavyweight, which is not much different from Ali's son Abraham.

Wang Lei was overjoyed and immediately tripled their salaries, and promised to give them a large number of big red envelopes every Christmas, so that they could serve as their bodyguards and also work part-time boxing sparring partners.

Tonbuchi and Scott, who were accustomed to exercising every day to ensure their strength, naturally agreed.

So Wang Lei's sparring team has two more people!

With the addition of Ston Butch and Scott, Wang Lei's training is no longer boring, and he feels full of interest and makes rapid progress every day.

Wang Lei values actual combat training the most, but he has not forgotten to continue to hone his heavy punch power.

Towards the end of the 25-day training, Wang Lei did the test again.

His height and reach have not changed, his weight has increased to 164 pounds, and his body fat ratio has decreased to 5 percent, which is about the same as NBA superstar Michael Jordan. His reaction speed, 100-meter sprint, and physical fitness have already reached their limits, so the stats have not changed much, and the improvement has been minimal, but his strength has improved a lot.

bench press 275 pounds 25 reps, ultimate strength 450 pounds; 400 pounds 25 reps for extreme strength 920 pounds.

The power of the left straight hand reached 550 pounds, and the left hook reached 800 pounds due to Sadler's constant emphasis and too many times of grinding. The heaviest right straight punch broke through again, reaching 1,103 pounds.

1103 pounds is converted to the metric system is exactly 1000 catties, which is 500 kilograms.

The power of this heavy punch is definitely at the level of a heavyweight fighter, although it is still far from Tyson's easy combination punch of 800 kilograms and Foreman's super heavy punch of more than 950 kilograms, but under the weight class, Wang Lei is definitely the top batch of heavy punch power.

Among the current familiar fighters, Wang Lei feels that the only fighters below the heavyweight division are probably the opponents who are about to fight, Hearns, and Ali's son Abraham, whose backhand heavy punches can be compared to him.

The rest, even the retired "Bald Demon King" Marvin Hagler's backhand punches can't compare to him!

Wang Lei has more confidence in his future promotion to heavyweight!

On the morning of 29 November, Wang Lei, Sadler, and others flew to Detroit, Michigan, by plane.

The reason why he went to Detroit in advance was that in addition to getting familiar with the environment in Detroit, Wang Lei also had to win for his buddy Bill.

Although the Portland Trail Blazers made the playoffs last year and unfortunately went out in the first round, Beal, who joined the Trail Blazers through the draft, was voted the "Rookie of the Year."

Beal, who has been promoted to starter by the Trail Blazers this year and is seen as not for sale, has become more and more proficient with Dreklers and has become the best partner for the Trail Blazers, just like Malone and Stockton of the Jazz and Jordan and Pippen of the Bulls.

Thanks to the excellent performance of Beal and Drecles, the Trail Blazers have won 10 consecutive games since the start of the regular rules in early November this year, and they are miraculously ranked first in the West and even the whole league.

On the evening of the 29th, the Trail Blazers will come to Detejin to play an away game against the Pistons.

Because the boxing match with Wang Lei and Hearns was only one day apart, Wang Lei had to come to Detroit a day early to cheer for Bill.

Before Wang Lei got on the plane, Holyfield, who had just beaten Foreman to become the new triple crown punch in the heavyweight division, suddenly held a pre-fight press conference.

At the press conference, Holyfield spoke to reporters about his first defending opponent after becoming a heavyweight champion.

It's not Rydick Bough, who Wang Lei is expecting, or Tyson, who urgently needs to regain the throne, but Ray Mercer, the heavyweight champion of the Seoul Olympics and just entering the professional circle at the beginning of this year.

In his previous life, Ray Mercer was a well-known tough guy in heavyweight boxing, not only with a strong will, but also with a super ability to resist strikes, and was known as the "steel chin". Not only won the gold medal in heavyweight boxing at the Seoul Olympics, but he was also the first heavyweight boxing champion in the WBO organization, and fought Holyfield, Lewis and Holmes, all of which were only defeated by points, and were never knocked down until he met Xiao Ke at the age of forty.

The ability to resist hits is strong enough to be compared to Foreman!

After entering the professional boxing world with Lewis and Ricdiq Bow at the beginning of this year, he only fought eight fights and won all seven knockout opponents, and is now ranked seventh in the WBC, fifth in the WBA and tenth in the IBF.

Holyfield chose Ray Mercer as his opponent in his first title defense after becoming the heavyweight champion, not because Ray Mercer was a soft persimmon, but because he valued Ray Mercer's status as the heavyweight champion of the Seoul Olympics.

And Holyfield also scheduled the date for the match on December 20, just before Christmas, just 45 days before Holyfield's victory over Foreman.

After learning the news on the plane, Wang Lei immediately guessed Holyfield's intentions.

It's clear that Holyfield shares his ambitions for next year's Ring Magazine's year-end P4P King and Fighter of the Year.

Although he defeated Foreman to become the heavyweight triple crown, plus the welterweight triple crown, he has six belts on his body. But it's not enough to see that Wang Lei has three levels and a total of ten golden waists.

In addition, the opponent Wang Lei defeated in June this year was not simple, and Leonard's pan-middleweight status is equivalent to that of Ali back then, and a little more popular than Foreman and Tyson.

If Wang Lei defeats Hearns, who is not much less popular than Leonard, at the end of November, even if he is the most popular heavyweight triple crown, there is no guarantee that he will defeat Wang Lei to become the year-end P4P king or the best fighter of the year.

That's why Holyfield decided to pick another opponent to defend their title before the end of the year.

Tyson is the best choice, and if he chooses Tyson as his opponent in his first title defense after becoming a heavyweight champion and defeats him, the year-end P4P king and Fighter of the Year will definitely not run.

Unfortunately, Holyfield wasn't sure he could beat Tyson, even if he had just beaten Foreman.

In boxing, A doesn't beat B, B beats C, and A will definitely beat C.

I was not sure about playing with Tyson, and I was reluctant to replay Holyfield with Foreman, and I felt that Ray Mercer was the most suitable for selection.

Although he only joined the professional world at the beginning of this year and has only fought eight fights, he is fortunate to have an Olympic heavyweight champion who will definitely give him a lot of points if he defeats the Olympic champion in his first title defense.

So Holyfield couldn't wait to get his agent to contact Ray Mercer's agent, and the two sides hit it off and decided to fight before Christmas.

He secretly cursed in his heart that Holyfield was as cunning as a fox, and Wang Lei couldn't do anything about it.

I can only try to shine as much as I can in tomorrow's bout against Hernes and make an indelible impression on the judges of The Ring magazine.

Only then will it be possible to defeat Holyfield and claim the King of the Year's P4P or Fighter of the Year.

Of course, Hearns is no ordinary opponent, and even if he can win, it may not be easy, and if the match drags on to twelve rounds, it will be difficult to win against Holyfield.

But it doesn't matter, I'm still young, if I can't do it this year, I'll fight for it next year!

Holyfield's heavyweight title is unlikely to last an entire year, and next year he'll have to fight the likes of Tyson, Riddick Bough, or Lewis anyway, at which point his heart problems could manifest and cost him the title.

The real competition between himself and Holyfield will have to wait until his heart problem is solved, and he will have been upgraded to the heavyweight division by then, and he can fight directly against Holyfield!

When the plane landed in Detroit, Wang Lei, Sadler and others avoided the local media in Detroit who were waiting at the airport, quietly left the airport to meet the people of the Arum Promotion Company, and went to the hotel arranged for them by the Arum Promotion Company.

After spending an afternoon at the hotel, Mr. Wang dressed up and took only the two bodyguards, Ston Butch and Scott, to the Pistons' home arena, Auburn Hills Palace Stadium. (To be continued.) )
