The day after Wang Lei defeated Marlon Starling to claim the WBC and WBA welterweight titles, the bout was covered by media across the United States. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After all, Wang Lei is the first Chinese boxing champion in the history of professional boxing, and he deserves to be featured in a big book.

It's a pity that it's only eight or seven years now, not the 21st century when the Internet has been fully popularized and the world has become a "global village", otherwise the other side of the earth will get the news on the night Wang Lei becomes the boxing champion.

However, with the exception of the media reports across the United States, the headlines of the game varied, and with the exception of a few newspapers, most of them went to great lengths to distort the facts or sensationalize the headlines.

"Chinese Kid Knocked Down for the First Time in Professional Competition"

"The Chinese kid was careless and was knocked down by Starling's heavy punch in one round"

"Famous coach Eddie Fudge designed a routine for the Chinese boy's style of play, and the Chinese boy was in a difficult situation"

If the above headlines were not seen by readers who did not see Wang Lei beating Marlon Starling to win the championship at the Caesars Hotel or on CNN TV Sports Channel, most likely they would mistakenly think that Wang Lei was defeated by his opponent Starling, and he was defeated badly and knocked out.

"The Chinese kid exposed his shortcomings, and was almost defeated by Starling in the game"

"The Chinese kid has amazing resistance and still stands up after being knocked down by a heavy punch"

"The Chinese kid has a tenacious fighting spirit, and the magical reversal game after being knocked out"

The above headline still has the intention of deliberately misleading the reader, making people mistakenly believe that Wang Lei played an extremely difficult game and almost lost the game.

Fortunately, newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, which leaned toward Mr. Wang, did not pick up their headlines.

The headline of the "San Francisco Chronicle" is "Chinese Kid Defeats Starling to Become the First Chinese Boxing Champion in Professional Boxing History", and also published a photo of Wang Lei wrapped around the WBC and WBA two boxing champion belts, being carried high on the shoulders of Cruise and Chekov, which is clear at a glance and will never cause misunderstanding.

The Washington Post bluntly said that yesterday's match was a milestone in the history of professional boxing, and Wang Lei became the world boxing champion at the age of only 18 years and four months and as a yellow race, and will be remembered in the history of boxing. As long as Wang can continue to win and defeat IBF welterweight champion Wilfred Benitez to unify the welterweight division, his future place in professional boxing history will not be below the four great middleweight kings Leonard, Duran, Hagler and Thomas.

The Los Angeles Times declared: The four kings of the middleweight division are all old, and after these four retire, Wang Lei will be the brightest new king of the middleweight division.

Of course, some people praise it, and some people are black. What's more, the United States is still a country that is xenophobic and has serious racial discrimination.

Wang Lei is a yellow and a Chinese. It is unbearable for both whites and blacks to dominate a yellow-race and Chinese-American in America's proudest professional boxing match.

Ben Whyson, a veteran reporter for the sports section of the New York Times and a boxing fan, wrote another article, vowing that he had discovered Wang Lei's weaknesses and believed that as long as he made a fuss about Wang Lei's weaknesses, Wang Lei would definitely lose the next game.

Ben Whisson said in an expert tone that he carefully analyzed Wang Lei's seven matches since he became a professional boxer, and believed that in addition to arrogance, Wang Lei also has a very serious weakness, that is, lack of physical strength. Wang Lei's seven professional fights have not been able to complete two rounds except for yesterday's two-round match with Starling, which was decided in the third round. Three of the bouts came with less than one round of knockouts, and the other three were ended before the second round was halfway through.

Looking back at Wang Lei's 45 amateur fights, he scored out his opponent in an average of only 59 seconds, and the longest fight didn't exceed three rounds.

What does this mean, it shows that Wang Lei's physical strength is insufficient and he can't fight a protracted battle!

Take a hard look at Wang Lei's match against Starling yesterday and notice Wang Lei's breathing during the break between rounds, his breathing was rapid, he was panting. Starling knocked him down with two heavy punches in the first round, and although Wang Lei stood up, his physical strength was consumed a lot, not only did he breathe rapidly during the break between rounds, his chest and abdomen continued to rise and fall, but he also changed to a guerrilla fight in the second round, obviously lacking the physical strength to play a combination of heavy punches. In the third round, Wang Lei clearly used trickery, he faked an invincible retreat, took advantage of Starling's light foe to advance, and suddenly threw a punch to knock Starling.

Assuming that Starling didn't rush forward and fought Wang Lei for three or five rounds with steady tactics, what would Wang Lei do? Can he still win?

No!

If Starling can stick to the tactics of coach Eddie Fudge and fight Wang Lei for more than five rounds, Wang Lei will definitely lose due to lack of physical strength.

At the end of the article, Ben Whistleson also threw out the opinion of the professor of anthropology: "The Chinese boy is indeed very talented in boxing, and he is considered the best among the yellow race. But the fact that yellow people are genetically limited in physique and are born inferior to whites and blacks in terms of physical strength and explosiveness is not racism, but a scientific fact.

If you look at the Olympic Games and professional sports leagues in the past, you will find that the sports in which the yellow race can win gold medals are basically skill-oriented, such as gymnastics, table tennis and shooting. In sports such as track and field, basketball, football, boxing and wrestling, which are more confrontational and focus on strength and explosiveness, the winners are basically whites and blacks.

The Chinese kid has practiced Chinese kung fu, has faster reflexes and speed than the average person, and has been taught by an experienced coach like Sadler, so he can win consecutive fights in boxing matches. But this does not prove that the Chinese kid is really strong, the Chinese kid is only strong in the first three rounds of the game, and after three rounds, his strength will decline because of the decline in physical strength, if he can drag the game to five rounds, the weakness of the Chinese boy's lack of physical strength will be completely exposed, and if the game is dragged to more than eight rounds, the Chinese kid will lose 100% of the time.

So, a piece of advice to the next opponent of the Chinese kid, Mr. Wilfried Benitez: don't play against the Chinese kid in the first three rounds, try to use guerrilla tactics to fight with the Chinese kid, drag the game to eight rounds and then play against the Chinese kid! ”

Ben Whyson's article is well-written, as if he were really an expert professor who has carefully studied Wang Lei's game and the yellow race, and fans who read it will be a little skeptical.

However, after these fans repeatedly studied the video of Wang Lei's fight with Marlon Starling, they found that Wang Lei appeared to be breathing very quickly during the break between rounds, and his chest and abdomen were constantly heaving, as Ben Whistleson said, and they couldn't help but believe Ben Whetherson's analysis.

Wang Lei was speechless when he read Ben Weston's article.

Brother is not only able to run five kilometers every morning without panting, but also in the boxing gym can continue to fight ten rounds of combat practice with his professional sparring partners Jeff Harrison, Cruise and Chekov.

It's a real fight, not a show. In addition, after training in the boxing gym, I had to go back at night and walk for an hour under the supervision of my grandfather.

Wang Lei feels that his physical strength can completely beat all professional fighters, not to mention fighting for 12 rounds, even if he has 15 rounds of physical strength, it is not a problem.

As for the shortness of breath and the constant rise and fall of the chest and abdomen between the rounds of the match with Starling, can my brother tell you that this is my brother practicing the "Tai Chi Breathing Technique"!

Sadler, Foreman and others also didn't believe that Wang Lei lacked physical strength, but they saw Wang Lei and Jeff Harrison, Crew, and Chekov play ten rounds of continuous combat practice every day, and sometimes they would fight with Foreman for two or three rounds, and after the fight, they could take a shower as if nothing had happened, and then walk back to his parents' restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon, I had to complete nearly four hours of strength training, including two hours of strength training and an hour and a half of riding a stationary bike.

After completing such a large amount of training every day, Wang Lei could still be energetic the next day, and he couldn't see any fatigue at all.

If such a strong physical strength is still insufficient, then no one can be called sufficient.

Anyway, in the eyes of Sadler, Foreman and others, Wang Lei's strongest point is physical strength, followed by explosiveness and speed.

There are many people who just believe the analysis of Ben Horseson's article, such as the coach and agent of Wang Lei's next opponent, Benitez.

Arum originally planned to schedule the welterweight unification fight between Wang Lei and Benitez in three months' time, so that there would be enough time to promote it, buy more tickets, and attract more viewers to pay to watch CNN live.

But Benitez's agent went against the grain and insisted that the match be played within two months, otherwise Benitez refused to play against Wang Lei.

Arum is a shrewd man, so naturally he can guess what Benitez's agent is up to.

Apparently Benitez believed Ben Wrightson's analysis in the New York Times and didn't want to give Wang too much time to improve his strength, so they shortened the date.

If Arum didn't know Wang Lei, he might feel embarrassed.

But Arum had seen Wang Lei fight with Harijah, Cruise and Chekov in ten rounds in a row, so he naturally wouldn't believe that Wang Lei was not strong enough and would be finished after five rounds. What's more, after reading Ben Wrightson's analysis in the New York Times, he also called Sadler to ask about the situation, and Sadler's answer reassured him.

Therefore, seeing that Benitez's agent was very resolute, Arum did not ask Wang Lei and Sadler's opinions, pretended to be embarrassed, and agreed to Benitez's agent's request.

As a result, the welterweight unification match between Wang Lei and Benitez was scheduled for September 20.

It's been less than two months since the last match between Wang Lei and Marlon Starling.

As soon as the news broke, the American media and fans were excited again.

At the pre-fight press conference, the media reporters at the scene all ignored the other protagonist sitting next to Wang Lei, who won the WBA 140-pound ultra-lightweight championship at the age of 17 and a half, and now has a professional record of 49-4-1 and 30 knockouts.

Wang Lei did not disappoint, and once again uttered wildly: "Coach Sadler has told me many times, 'The lion fights the rabbit, and use all your strength', and I did this in the amateur competition, so I won an amateur record of 45 wins and 45 KOs." The winning streak made me a little arrogant, and I gradually ignored Sadler's admonition, and in the fight against Starling, I thought it would be easy to defeat him, so I didn't use all my strength, only five points of force, and only ended up being knocked out once in the first round. Thankfully, that fight made me realize my mistake, and the phrase 'lion fights rabbits, with all your might' has been adopted as the first rule of the game by me, and I will never let my opponent take me down in the future." Mr. Benitez is an admirable senior, he won his first boxing title at the age of seventeen and a half in '76, and I did it at the age of eighteen, a step later than him. So in my fight against Mr. Benitez on September 20th, out of respect, I'm going to take him out with eight points, take the IBF welterweight belt, and unify the welterweight division! ”

After Wang Lei's speech, Sadler and Arum looked sideways, Benitez and his coach turned pale, and the reporters in the audience stared at Wang Lei with stunned expressions.

Nima, are you admitting your mistake? Do you call this "recognizing your mistakes"?

Does "the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength" mean that he uses eight points of strength?

This is clearly not taking the opponent Benitez in his eyes!

Respect, respect, fart!

(Sorry, there was an unexpected power outage at home today, and the call came at almost nine o'clock, only this one is more, and I will make up for it tomorrow!) ）
