Chapter 114: Roy Jones Jr.'s funny style

On February 25, the day of the boxing championship is said to be followed by 3 billion people around the world, and more than 1 billion people will watch it online. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Because in addition to CNN and ESPN in the United States, dozens of television networks in Europe, South America and South Asia have purchased the rights to broadcast the game, including Japan, South Korea and Xiangjiang.

It's a pity that the country has not yet fully developed, and if the time is postponed by more than ten years, the country will definitely buy the broadcast rights, and the number of people watching this game will break the record.

It is said that the first match between Ali and Fraser when he returned that year was broadcast on HBO and more than 300 million people around the world tuned in. After that, Ali and Foreman fought in the African bush and the rematch and trilogy against Fraser, and the audience watched on television was even greater, reportedly more than a billion people.

Now that there are more TV networks, thanks to the fame of Tyson and Foreman, and the fact that Wang Lei has lowered his price and last year's Olympic silver medalist to play on the mat court, the audience will only watch the game in front of the TV.

After Wang Lei, Sadler and others entered the Caesars Palace Hotel, they met Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Hollywood stars such as Bruce Willis and Tom Hanks, who were already very familiar with each other.

When he arrived in the locker room, he was surprised to see the pop king Michael Jackson and the diva Madonna in the audience.

Wang Lei almost rushed up to ask for autographs and group photos!

Fortunately, he Sadler and Ou Yangming have always been by his side, so they didn't let him succeed.

Entering the locker room, the organizers of the boxing match sent someone to take their weight and take a drug test.

Wang Lei was ready to move up to 160 pounds and fight Leonard in the middleweight division in June, so he's been slowly gaining weight. In order to avoid a weight gap of more than one class with Roy Jones Jr. and not being able to compete, the weight class of Arum and Roy Jones Jr. was agreed upon when the match was confirmed by Arum and Roy Jones Jr.'s father.

Roy Jones Jr. was set to fight in the 168-pound middleweight division when he entered the professional boxing world, and he now weighs in at 159 pounds, one pound short of reaching 160-pound middleweight.

In other words, Wang Lei's weight cannot exceed 160 pounds, otherwise even if he is the boxing champion, he will only fight in a four-round mat match, and the two will not be able to fight.

Fortunately, Wang Lei is very good at controlling weight gain, and he has never been overweight or underweight in previous competitions.

After measurement, Wang Lei weighed 157.8 pounds at this time, only 1.2 pounds lighter than Roy Jones Jr., just enough to compete.

After the urine test, Wang Lei lay down and asked Amanda to massage him and relax his muscles.

While Wang Lei was enjoying Amanda's professional massage, the first mat match outside had already begun.

The fight between the two little-known flyweights didn't spark much enthusiasm from the 20,000 spectators at the scene.

Moreover, these two flyweight fighters are equal in strength, and they fight more conservatively, and the two sides only fight for points, as if they are amateur matches, and there is not a single knockdown scene, which makes the audience a little drowsy.

Four rounds of action allowed the two fighters to fight to the end, with one fighter deciding to win by a narrow number of points.

Then it's last year's Olympic heavyweight gold champion Ray Mercer's professional debut.

Spectators prefer to watch heavyweight fights more than flyweight, so the 20,000 spectators who were drowsy in the first mat bout were lifted when they saw the 228-pound Ray Mercer and his opponent, the 235-pound white hunk Smith take the action.

The match between Mercer and Smith was indeed much more exciting, and the dull sound of the huge fists hitting the well-developed muscles made many spectators adrenaline rise, and they all blushed with excitement and couldn't help shouting.

Mercer is worthy of the "steel chin", although the technique is a little rough, but the body is strong enough, the head is punched by the opponent Smith several times, and even the chin is directly hit by the hook punch did not make him fall.

After surviving the first round, Mercer settled into the professional game and began to fight back in the second round.

Mersell's heavy punches weren't anything but heavy, sending his opponent who weighed a few pounds heavier than him to stumble, and toward the end of the second round, Mercer landed a heavy-looking forehand jab to the chin.

Unfortunately, his opponent Smith, although a little bigger, was nowhere near Mercer's resistance, and immediately after receiving this jaw punch, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

After Mercer's professional debut, it was the turn of Wang Lei and Roy Jones Jr. to play.

Wang Lei, who had already warmed up, waited quietly in the locker room for Roy Jones Jr. to play first.

Because it was just a four-round cushion match for his fellow brother Foreman, Wang Lei didn't plan to do tricks at the appearance ceremony, but the order of appearance couldn't be messed up.

He's a boxing champion, and Roy Jones Jr. is just a rookie in the professional world and has to play before him.

I don't know if I'm too excited to play my professional debut, Roy Jones Jr. appeared a little sassy, not only bouncing but also twisting around, I don't know if I thought he was going to go on stage to participate in a dance competition.

The host of the boxing scene is the famous Mike Bafel, who seriously introduced Roy Jones Jr.'s height, weight and amateur record to the audience, and then praised Roy Jones Jr. for letting Wang Lei, the two-level triple crown champion, fight with him in the first match of his career, or play the mat match in the battle of the century between Tyson and Foreman, the new and old heavyweight gun kings, it is really **** luck.

Mike Baffel's teasing made Roy Jones Jr.'s smile stiffen, as if he had suddenly swallowed a fly.

Without giving Roy Jones Jr. a chance to protest, Baffel began to introduce Wang Lei to the game.

The searchlight hit the door of Wang Lei's dressing room, and Wang Lei, who had changed into a golden robe, walked out with the support of Sadler, Ou Yangming and others.

With Wang Lei's appearance, the 20,000 spectators at the scene applauded almost at the same time, and cheers continued.

The enthusiasm is completely different from the appearance of Roy Jones Jr. just now. The appearance of the four fighters in the first two cushion matches is even more incomparable.

This shows Wang Lei's popularity in the professional boxing world today.

Even if you count the heavyweight boxing champion Tyson, Wang Lei's popularity among active professional fighters can be ranked in the top three.

The popularity of pan-middleweight fighters can only be compared to Wang Lei, Leonard and Hearns.

Duran, who once lost to Wang Lei once, has begun to decline in popularity, and he has long been inferior to Wang Lei.

So even if Roy Jones Jr. was jealous of Wang Lei being so popular, he couldn't say anything, but he secretly vowed in his heart that he would defeat Wang Lei and become famous in one fell swoop by stepping on his "corpse".

It's a pity that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!

Roy Jones Jr. is indeed very talented, not even below Leonard.

But this refers to Roy Jones Jr. five or ten years from now, and Roy Jones Jr. is still far from it.

Roy Jones Jr. threw fast punches and moved very agilely, and Wang Lei never fought back, trying to dodge his attacks.

The scene looked like Roy Jones Jr. was chasing Wang Lei, and Wang Lei could only dodge and had no power to fight back.

Roy Jones Jr. apparently thought he had the upper hand, and after a minute of play, he got a little excited and started to learn Ali's funny ways.

For example, sudden twisting from side to side or grimacing, sometimes with arms raised high and then suddenly punching.

These funny actions caused many viewers in the audience to miss Ali and involuntarily cheer for Roy Jones Jr.

Wang Lei was speechless by Roy Jones Jr.'s actions, he had seen a lot of Roy Jones Jr.'s boxing videos on the Internet in his previous life, and was familiar with Roy Jones Jr.'s funny moves, and it was these funny moves that made his boxing match very appreciative, making him one of the most box-office attractive fighters in the late 90s.

It's just that Wang Lei thought that these funny moves were played by Roy Jones Jr. after he became a boxing champion or played a twenty or thirty consecutive victory, but he didn't expect that he would play it just after his first professional fight.

And he is bold enough to dare to play in front of himself!

When Roy Jones Jr. threw a jab to "knock off" Wang Lei, he started to be funny again.

He turned his right fist several times like a windmill, and then let out a strange scream, and his right fist smashed towards Wang Lei like a meteor hammer.

Wang Lei didn't dodge this time.

Without dodging, he unleashed a sharp left hook with his left hand.

Like a hook of fire, it passed through Roy Jones Jr.'s right arm and struck Roy Jones Jr. in the face first.

Roy Joneston Jr. was stunned, and his body instinctively stiffened.

Roy Jones, the father of Roy Jones Jr., who was watching the battle under the rope, felt bad and instinctively reminded loudly: "Roy, back off!" ā€

It's a pity that it's late, and Wang Lei's right straight fist has already been swung out.

With a "bang", it hit Roy Jones Jr. in the jaw solidly.

Little Roy Jones felt as if he had been hit by a car, and his body fell straight to the ground.

Seeing this, the referee was going to let Wang Lei retreat outside the neutral line, but saw that Wang Lei had already turned around and walked towards the corner of the rope.

The referee then walked quickly to Roy Jones Jr., who was lying in the ring with his back to the sky, looked at Roy Jones' eyes that had lost focus, saved the count, and directly announced the end of the game, and Wang Lei won.

Seeing this, the audience involuntarily booed.

Although it had been expected that Roy Jones Jr. would not be Wang Lei's opponent, it was still too disappointing for the audience to end the fight so quickly, and Wang Lei landed two punches from start to finish.

And Roy Jones Jr. also learned Ali's funny in this game and provoked Wang Lei.

Nima, your strength is so bad, it's not good to fight Wang Lei, but you learn Ali to be weird, how many middle two you have to be!

Looking at Wang Lei's actions and expressions after knocking down Roy Jones Jr., there was no sense of excitement at all.

Obviously, he really just came to join in the fun in this mat game, and he didn't regard Roy Jones Jr. as an opponent!
