Chapter 64: Welterweight Unification Battle (2)
Teddy Atlas, who was watching from the audience, couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Wang Lei suddenly unleash a sharp left hook. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Oh no, why did this Chinese kid's left hook suddenly become so sharp? Could it be that Coach Sadler didn't let the Chinese kid practice his physical strength during this time, and kept letting him practice left hook? This is not good, the Chinese kid has always been under-defended on the left side, and he has practiced his left hook, but this weakness has become a strong point, and Eddie Fudge's routine for his left weakness is useless......"
Benitez on the stage was also aware of this problem, and after being grazed in the face by Wang Lei's sudden left hook, Benitez did not dare to turn to Wang Lei's left side anymore and returned to his regular style of play. By constantly moving, you will carefully protect yourself while looking for opportunities to punch and attack.
After two minutes of back and forth between the two sides, the situation fell into Wang Lei's control.
His combination of punches began to come into full swing, sending Benitez back and forth before he was soon back on the rope.
With his back against the rope, Benitez protected his head with his arms, bent his waist at the same time, and faced Wang Lei's attack in a low position, slamming Wang Lei's fists on his arms, and stepped forward to hug Wang Lei at every opportunity.
Benitez had obviously studied Wang Lei's boxing match tape carefully and knew that hugging tactics were useless against Wang Lei, but the hug he chose was different, he was holding Wang Lei's arm.
Holding one arm with two arms, hanging on it like a lover, Wang Lei couldn't support a person with one arm, and his empty other fist was dragged to almost fall down after only two hits, and he had no choice but to wait for the referee to step forward and separate them.
Because of Benitez's arm-hugging tactics, the second round ended, and Wang Lei failed to knock Benitez down.
In the third round, Benitez repeated his old tricks, constantly moving defense, playing guerrilla tactics, and hugging one of Wang Lei's arms once he was blocked by Wang Lei.
Wang Lei couldn't find a way to crack it for a while, and as a result, he was dragged by Benitez in the third round.
The audience's eyes widened involuntarily.
Benitez managed to drag the bout to the fourth round, and it was time to back up Ben Wrightson's account.
Let's see if Wang Lei's physical strength will really be insufficient after three rounds?
At the start of the fourth round, the duo in the ring disappointed the crowd a bit.
Wang Lei is still alive and well, and he doesn't see any lack of physical strength at all, not even gasping for breath. On the contrary, Benitez, not only sweating profusely and his face was pale, but the arms raised in front of him seemed to tremble faintly.
was smashed by Wang Lei with hundreds of punches, and Benitez's arm couldn't stand it no matter how strong it was.
It's amazing to be able to lift up and punch!
However, Benitez really didn't want Wang Lei to smash his arm anymore, his arm was almost unconscious, and if he smashed it again, it would definitely be useless.
As a result, Benitez went against the norm and took the initiative to launch a head-to-head confrontation with Wang Lei.
Because of the attack, Benitez's defensive skills dropped a lot, and it was difficult to protect his face, only to be hit by Wang Lei's heavy jab and left hook one after another.
However, Benitez's strength is not empty, Wang Lei's fists can hit him, and his fists can also hit Wang Lei one after another.
So, in the fourth round, the audience saw a thrilling battle of attack, the two people in the ring almost gave up their defense, and directly hit each other, you punch me, I punch you, and the "bang" sound continues, sweat and blood splash everywhere.
Of course, only Benitez was bleeding, and Wang Lei was only sweating and no blood.
Wang Lei has been honing his left hook during this time, and he is a balanced boxer, with his left hand as flexible as his right hand, and he can even write with his left hand. Therefore, once you practice the left hook specifically, the progress is extremely fast.
In less than two months, he has practiced his left hook extremely hard, and the punch can produce a sound that tears the air, and the attack power is as sharp and sharp as a knife. Even if it's not as powerful as Pipino Cuevas, it's not much worse.
After practicing the left hook, it not only supplemented Wang Lei's left weakness, but also made Wang Lei add an attack weapon.
Under Wang Lei's left hook fist, he broke through Benitez's defense again and again, hitting Benitez's right cheek and the corner of his eyebrows, and blood splashed, causing the whole face to be bloody and not scary.
By the time Benitez survived the fourth round, the referee and the audience were shocked when they saw him.
This Nima is about to be disfigured!
Did the Chinese kid's fist gloves hide a blade, and how did he hit Benitez so much that two long bloody cuts were split in his face?
When Benitez returned to the blue corner, his coach and nurse practitioner were taken aback and hurriedly helped Benitez stop the bleeding and treat the wound.
Teddy Atlas stared at Benitez's face and frowned, a centipede-shaped scar on his face twitched twice, and finally said: "Benitez, hold on, it's been four rounds, then the Chinese kid's physical strength should have decreased!" ”
Benitez didn't speak, just nodded weakly.
The bell rang at the beginning of the fifth round, and Wang Lei stood up, still looking like a vigorous tiger, and he couldn't see any physical exertion at all.
In the face of Benitez's tragic situation, Wang Lei did not show mercy to his subordinates, and his punches were still fierce.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang......"
Watching Benitez on the stage being chased by Wang Lei, hitting from one end of the ring to the other, many viewers in the audience showed expressions that they couldn't bear to look at directly.
Teddy Atlas frowned, and kept muttering: "Why hasn't your physical strength decreased, why hasn't your physical strength decreased?" ”
Towards the end of the fifth round, Teddy Atlas finally realized that he had been misled by Ben Wharson's analysis!
How can a Chinese kid lack physical strength, his physical strength is obviously more than Benitez!
Don't say five rounds, I'm afraid he'll have no problem playing twelve rounds!
Ben Wasseson, a reporter for The New York Times, was not there to watch the game, but he watched it live on CNN pay in New York. Seeing that it was already the fifth round, Wang Lei was still attacking Benitez, and when he was full of ferocity, Ben Wesson felt like he was being slapped in the face, and his face was a little hot.
Benitez's resilience is amazing, although he has been chased and beaten by Wang Lei, and his face has been beaten miserably by Wang Lei, but he insisted on not being knocked down by Wang Lei, and he could even punch back.
As a result, the fifth round was also pushed through by Benitez.
Since Wang Lei officially participated in the boxing match, it was the first time he had fought with someone for so long, and he couldn't help but admire Benitez in his heart.
It is worthy of being the fifth heavenly king after Leonard, Hagler, Hernes and Duran, and his strength is not ordinary!
But no matter how tenacious you are, you can only be a defeated player under your brother, and you are a defeated soldier who was knocked down and knocked out by your brother!
At the beginning of the sixth round, Wang Lei launched a combination of heavy punches.
Benitez was beaten back and forth, and soon retreated to the rope, once again leaning his back against Wang Lei's attack.
Seeing this scene again, Sadler couldn't help frowning, and he thought of his other proud disciple, George Foreman.
In the battle between Foreman and Ali in the African jungle that year, Ali used the rope tactics to consume Foreman's physical strength, and then knocked Foreman down with two heavy punches, which made Foreman collapse from then on.
Could it be that Benitez wants to learn from Ali?
Hmph, even if you have Ali's strength and wisdom, Wang Lei is not Foreman, he is much smarter than Foreman, and your tactics may not succeed!
As Sadler had predicted, Benitez fought Wang Lei almost always with his back to the rope during the round, defending and occasionally countering with jabs.
It's just that his jab attack is not strong, and Wang Lei doesn't bother to defend, relying on his jab to fall on his body, and then the left hook and right hook fight back.
Halfway through the sixth round, the two wounds on Benitez's face, which had been treated, were broken by Wang Lei, and blood flowed out again, which soon made Benitez's face bloody.
In desperation, Benitez stepped forward again and hugged Wang Lei's right arm, and at the same time rubbed his face on Wang Lei's shoulder, rubbing the blood on his face onto Wang Lei's shoulder.
Wang Lei suddenly felt so sick that he couldn't do it.
When the referee separated them, Wang Lei, out of instinct, wiped the blood on his right shoulder with his left fist.
As a result, Benitez seized the opportunity and rushed up to slam Wang Lei in the face with a heavy punch.
Wang Lei was smashed and stumbled, which startled Sadler and others in the audience.
Fortunately, Wang Lei just took a step back and stood firmly, facing Benitez's follow-up heavy punch attack, just sideways to avoid it, and then punched back and suppressed Benitez again.
At the end of the sixth round, back in the corner, Wang Lei immediately asked Ou Yangming to wipe the blood from his right shoulder.
Sadler frowned and said, "You were almost knocked down by him, just because of the blood on your shoulder, I don't remember that you have a cleanliness fetish?" ”
Wang Lei said: "I don't have a habit of cleanliness, but I'm afraid he has AIDS!" ”
"Nonsense, how could he go on stage to compete with AIDS!" Sadler rebuked.
Wang Lei thought to himself: This is really not certain, there are many sports stars in the United States who have AIDS, and there seems to be one who has AIDS and still goes on stage to box.
By the way, it seems to be called Tommy Morrison, the one who betrayed Rocky's disciple in Stallone's movie "Rocky 5". This guy was retired with AIDS, and later came back with AIDS.
Presumably, the opponent who fights Tommy Morrison must be terrified.
Towards the end of the one-minute break, Sadler reminded Wang Lei in his ear: "Ray, be careful that Benitez learns the tactics that Ali used to defeat Foreman against you!" ”
Wang Lei understood.
No wonder Benitez leans on the rope at every turn!
But even if you learn Ali's tactics ten percent back then, my brother won't let you knock you down!
At the beginning of the seventh round, many people in the audience were already scolding Ben Whisson in their hearts.
Because Wang Lei is still alive and well, his physical strength has not decreased!
Benitez, on the other hand, has begun to gasp for breath and move slowly, he is tired!
Wang Lei's physical strength is still sufficient, and Benitez is probably already at the end of his crossbow!
Sure enough, at the beginning of the seventh round, Wang Lei once again rushed to attack first.
Benitez is still moving, but not as fast as he used to be, and the defense is a bit weak.
Soon, Benitez was forced to the rope by Wang Lei again.
By the minute mark of the seventh round, Benitez's arms had been smashed unconscious by Wang's punches. Probably meaning that if he continued like this, he would be knocked out by Wang Lei, and Benitez finally decided to take a gamble.
The body swayed from side to side, and it seemed that it was about to move to Wang Lei's right side, but suddenly turned to Wang Lei's left side, and at the same time made a left hook, and the right hook fist was also swung out.
Give the dummy!
Ali knocked down Foreman's attack tactics back then!
Benitez really learned 10 percent!
It's a pity that Wang Lei had expected that when Benitez hit a left hook, his left hook also met it almost at the same time.
Punch punch!
See you again!
With a "bang", Wang Lei's left hook went through Benitez's left hook and hit Benitez's face first when Benitst's gloves touched him.
Benitez was stumbled and his right hook was naturally defused.
And Wang Lei's right hook fist smashed out.
There was another "bang", and it hit Benitez on the cheek again.
Benitez finally couldn't stand anymore and fell to the ground like a stake.
