Chapter 216: Cracking Steward's "Tactics"
Wang Lei used the "Iron Plate Bridge", and then the unexpected punch did not knock Earns down, but it blinded Earns, and the subsequent attack instinctively stopped. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wang Lei took the opportunity to hit a combination of left and right heavy punches, the left hook and the right hook were continuous, and the hit made Hearns retreat step by step, and his body swayed left and right like a lonely boat in the wind and waves, and the boat would capsize at any time.
Steward, who saw this scene in the audience, was anxious and couldn't help but shout loudly: "Tactics, Thomas, don't forget tactics!" ”
Steward's shouting seemed to bring Hernes back to his senses, and he was already leaning on the rope and hugged him desperately, and immediately hugged Wang Lei, interrupting Wang Lei's combination of heavy punches.
Being hugged by a man, Wang Lei's body shook instinctively, and he broke free from Earns's embrace at once, and then smashed Earns' jaw with a punch.
It's just that this punch hasn't hit Hearns's jaw yet, and Wang Lei is surprised to see Hearns's right hand fist growing from small to big in front of him.
Seeing that Hernes's right hand fist was about to hit the front door, Wang Lei instantly turned his head sideways, and narrowly missed this punch.
Although he was not hit, Wang Lei was taken aback, what is going on with this?
After dodging Hearns' sudden punch, seeing that Hearns was about to hit a single punch combo again, Wang Lei simply stopped Hearns' attack with a jab.
But when his jab turned into a left hook, Hearns changed his stance strangely, and his straight right hand was slammed into his face.
The punches weren't quick, but they were cleverly timed to get Wang Lei in the face before he could get his left hook out of the way.
Wang Lei had to give up his left hook attack and chose to retreat.
This retreat was taken advantage of by Hearns to unleash a series of combination punches, forcing Wang Lei to constantly retreat and defend, and finally put his back on the rope.
However, Wang Lei would not be suppressed by such an attack, as soon as his back rested on the rope, he used his strength to pop forward, and his left straight fist pierced Hurnes's arms like a sharp arrow, hitting him directly in the jaw.
Hearns stepped back, only half a step back, just enough to let Wang Lei's straight left punch blow into the air, and at the same time took the opportunity to also hit a straight left punch.
This punch hit Wang Lei!
Although it is not heavy, it is a little blinded by Wang Lei!
What's going on with Hernes, does he suddenly have the ability of an unpredictable prophet, who can predict it before he punches, so that he can hit the counterattack just right?
No, it can't be, this should be what Steward called "tactics"!
Wang Lei thought about the September match against Dennis Andrries, and suddenly he had a little understanding of what Steward meant by "tactics".
If your guess is right or not, try it and you'll know.
So Wang Lei forced Earnnes to retreat with another combo jab, and immediately took the opportunity to hit a combination of left and right heavy punches to bombard, which made Earns retreat and had to pounce forward again and hug him.
And so it was!
Wang Lei's body shook violently again, broke free from Earns's embrace, and smashed his right hand into Earns' chin.
Then he saw Hearns' straight right hand go from small to big in front of his eyes again!
The timing was extremely accurate, as if he had rehearsed with Wang Lei thousands of times.
Wang Lei sneered in his heart, and his body instantly squatted down, hitting the right fist of Hearns' chin downward, hitting Hearns's abdomen at once.
The punch was just above the belt, and the punch was so heavy that Hearns was beaten to the point that he bent down involuntarily, and his face changed drastically.
Next, Wang Lei straightened up and threw a top-down right hook that slammed into Hearns' face, which had been lowered by bending down.
Hearns fell in response!
Steward, who saw this scene in the audience, couldn't help but be stunned!
"How... How could it be...... How so? ”
Steward obviously couldn't believe that the "tactics" he had trained for most of the year had failed!
In Wang Lei's view, Steward's so-called "tactics" seem to be profound, and to put it bluntly, they are worthless, but they are just counterattack drills for their fixed punching habits.
Every fighter has their own set punching habits, such as Foreman's hook punch, which is very non-standard. Tyson has a habit of lowering his center of gravity and leaning his body when he does hooks. Lennox Lewis' jaw susceptibility to jaw punches caused him to lose two title defenses after being hit in the chin by unscrupulous fighters, a habit that he later broke so he never got knocked down again.
Wang Lei doesn't have a bad habit of punching, but because of thousands of times of practice, some punching action forms have been fixed, such as left hook and combination heavy punch bombing, and such as the counterattack after being hugged.
As long as Steward locks in his fixed punching routes and habits, designs a set of counter-attacking plays for these punching movements, and has Earns practice thousands of times, he has formed a counter-attack tactic as if he has the ability to predict.
It's like when you know someone's fixed running route, you can trip them up just by sticking out your feet in the way they have to go.
Steward's "tactics" are as simple as that, although they are very effective, but once Wang Lei understands them and changes his punching movements and habits in time, the "tactics" will not work.
The key is that Wang Lei's reaction is too fast, if he was so targeted by Hearns by other fighters, the previous straight right hand may not be able to avoid it, but Wang Lei avoided it in time, otherwise Steward's "tactics" would have succeeded.
You must know that Hearns' right hand is the most terrifying weapon in the middleweight boxing, and the lethality is comparable to the right hand of the heavyweight boxing. In '03, "Boxing Circle" magazine selected the 100 top 100 heavy gunners in boxing history, and Hernes ranked eighteenth, not only above the other three kings of the four middleweight divisions, but also Julian Jackson, known as the "knockout king", and Gerald McClellan, the "king of blitzkrieg", could not compare to him.
This shows the terrible of Hearns's right hand, Wang Lei is not confident that he can still stand up by Hearns's straight right hand straight punch to hit the front door strongly.
Fortunately, Wang Lei's reflex nerve has been practiced extraordinarily, so he avoided it in time!
Avoiding Hearns' straight right hand and seeing through Steward's so-called "tactics", it will be difficult for Hearns to succeed.
It is difficult for ordinary boxers to change their fixed punching movements and habits, but Wang Lei is not an ordinary boxer!
After Hearns was knocked down by Wang Lei, the referee had not read "ten" before the bell rang for the end of the first round.
Hernes, who had already stood up but did not seem to have recovered consciousness, was lucky to escape.
If he continues to fight, there is a chance that Hearns will be finished by Wang Lei with two or three punches!
After a minute's rest, Hearns seemed to be back to normal, staring at Wang Lei with a cold gaze again, but his punches became cautious and no longer attacked first.
Wang Lei didn't say anything polite to him, and as soon as he made a move, he made a sharp left hook.
Sure enough, I saw that Hearns changed his posture very strangely and hit a straight right hand!
Don't you know that switching between left and right posture is also a trick that my brother is good at?
Wang Lei's left hook retracted before he was halfway through, his waist rotated, his steps were wrong, he also changed his posture, and at the same time hit a straight punch with his right hand.
A not-so-standard straight right punch while also leaning down.
As a result, the punch went around Hearns' right arm and landed a solid blow to Hearns' face.
"Bang"!
Hearns fell to the ground, his right straight punch just brushing past Wang Lei's ear.
The second round had just begun, and Hearns was knocked out!
The audience was stunned, and Steward's face became very ugly!
"One, two, three, four......"
The referee stepped forward to give Hearns a few seconds, and Hearns struggled desperately and finally managed to stand up when the referee counted to "nine".
"Are you okay, can you still fight?"
"No problem, I can still fight!"
The referee wanted to stop the game directly, but firstly, the game was too short, and secondly, Hernes was not small, and his eyes were very determined. After a moment's hesitation, the referee finally waved to let the game continue.
Hernes, who continued to play, probably understood that Steward's "tactics" were seen through by Wang Lei, so he no longer fought according to "tactics", but resumed his previous fighting style.
Keeping a safe distance from Wang Lei, he lowered his left fist and shook constantly, and then struck a jab like a cobra. As long as the jab successfully disrupted Wang Lei's rhythm, the heavy straight punch of his right hand smashed like a cannonball.
With this style of play, Hernes earned the nicknames "Cobra" and "The Killer," alongside Leonard, Hagler, and Duran, and was revered by fans as one of the four pan-middleweight kings, and even became the first boxing champion in boxing history to win four, five, and six divisional titles.
Theoretically, Hearns' strength is definitely not below the two kings of Leonard and Duran, after all, he once fought with Leonard and once knocked out Duran in two rounds.
It took Wang Lei eleven rounds to knock out Duran, Leonard to knock out Leonard for the first time for 12 rounds, and the second time for eight rounds, but the two knockouts of Hearns combined were less than five rounds.
This gives the impression that Hernes's strength is too far behind Leonard and Duran!
But in reality, this is not the case, and the reason why Hearns was knocked out so quickly when he faced Wang Lei twice was only because his cobra-style mid-to-long-range fighting style didn't work against Wang Lei.
Just as Ian Barkley, a third-rate fighter with rough skills, was weirdly able to defeat Hearns twice, Wang Lei's boxing style was also amazingly able to restrain Hearns.
It's just that Wang Lei's skills and strength are much stronger than Barkley's, plus the attributes are compatible, so he easily knocked out Hearns twice.
Using Steward's "tactical" defeat and switching to his best "cobra fight" style of play was obviously a terrible and wrong choice.
In the following games, Hearns has been in a passive situation, Wang Lei can always break through his cobra-like jab attack, burst in front of him and hit a sharp left hook and left and right combination heavy punch bombardment, hitting Hearns constantly retreating, face, chest, abdomen, waist and continuous middle punches, Steward and many viewers can't bear to watch.
Towards the end of the second round, Wang suddenly threw a straight right hand that hit Hearns in the jaw and knocked Hearns to the ground again.
However, Hearns had just collapsed when the bell rang in time for the end of the second round, and Hearns escaped.
Wang Lei didn't care about this, Hearns had already been beaten by him and lost his fighting spirit, and Wang Lei was sure that he would be killed within a minute of the start of the third round!
Sure enough, only half a minute into the third round, Hernes, who had completely lost his fighting spirit and was even unable to concentrate, was hit in the chin by Wang Lei's left hook and fell to the ground again.
This time he fell to the ground, and Hernes simply lay there motionless, as if he were dead.
The referee, who was originally going to count the seconds, gave up counting the seconds as soon as he saw Hernes like this, waved his arm and directly announced the end of the game, and Wang Lei won.
The 20,000 spectators at the scene were a sensation!
They saw the birth of a second-time boxing champion with a six-division title!
And Wang Lei's six-level boxing title is much more valuable than Hernes' six-level boxing title.
Because Wang Lei fought from the welterweight division to the welterweight division, and he confiscated the gold belts of the three major boxing organizations of WBC, WBA and IBF in the first five divisions. The middleweight division even had him confiscate the WBO belt.
In addition to the best boxing championship gold belt awarded to Wang Lei by "Boxing Ring" magazine, Wang Lei now has eighteen gold belts on his body.
The number is so large that he is definitely the first person in the history of boxing!
And everyone knows that Wang Lei will not stop collecting the belts, and he will at least be able to confiscate the belts of the other two organizations in the welterweight division by next year.
Before he is officially promoted to the heavyweight division, Wang Lei will have twenty boxing championship belts!
Twenty boxing champion gold belts hang on his body, just thinking about it will make people envious and red-eyed!
No one thought Wang Lei would be able to do it, as the welterweight champions of the WBC and IBF organizations are not very well-known, far worse than Hearns, and almost all fans think that Wang Lei will have no trouble defeating them.
At the post-fight press conference, Wang Leiti did not mention that he had lost his fighting spirit and Reigns and Steward, who had sworn before the fight that he had found a "tactic" to defeat him, and bluntly said to the media: "My agent Arum has been negotiating with the agent of the welterweight champion of WBC and IBF, and after I beat them next year and unified the welterweight division, I will be promoted to the heavyweight division and challenge my senior brother Foreman!" ”
A media reporter asked: "Wang, you have already played three matches with Hearns, are you still willing to fight him four times?" ”
Wang Lei glanced indifferently at Hearns next to him and said, "Unless he becomes the heavyweight boxing champion before me again, we won't cross paths again!" ”
The implication is that Hearns is already in the past, and he is not qualified to fight him anymore!
Hearns also heard what Wang Lei meant, but he didn't say anything to refute it, not even his coach Steward.
Obviously, Wang Lei knocked out Horsees in less than three rounds three times in a row, and also cracked Steward's "tactics", causing Steward and Hoenes to have no courage to fight Wang Lei anymore!
As for letting Hearns be promoted to the heavyweight division before Wang Lei and become the heavyweight champion, no matter how optimistic and believing in Hearns' fans do not think that this is possible! (To be continued.) )
