Chapter 122: An embarrassing appearance ceremony
When Wang Lei was in Xiangjiang, he came up with an idea for the Xiangjiang martial arts community, wanting the Xiangjiang martial arts community to hold an international event with great influence such as "K-1", so as to enhance the international influence of Chinese kung fu.

But I didn't expect this idea to be "plagiarized" by the Japanese Kazuyoshi Ishii!
Well, it's not "plagiarism", this was originally someone's idea, but I just advanced it myself.
But Wang Lei still felt very unhappy!
I am not happy with the procrastination of the Xiangjiang martial arts world, and I am even more unhappy with Ishii's righteous attitude.
If you "borrow" my proposal, you can just lift the "K-1" a few years in advance, and I don't care about you. It's okay if you invited me to participate in the "K-1" event, anyway, I said I would participate in Xiangjiang. But what do you mean by sending me an invitation post when I'm about to play Leonard?
Do you think I'm going to give up my $18,000,000,000 appearance fee to go to the "K-1" event you just ran and didn't have the slightest impact?
Or do you just want to disgust me and affect my game so that I lose to Leonard?
If that's the purpose, you're underestimating me!
……
After Wang Lei tore up the invitation post, he "forgot" about the matter and was not affected in the slightest.
On June 5, a week before the match against Leonard, Wang Lei stopped "Nine Deaths" and other high-intensity training and began to adjust his condition.
By the time he arrived in Las Vegas on the first two days of the competition, Wang Lei had already adjusted his body and mind to his best.
Leonard also arrived, accompanied by his coach Angelo Dundee and Abraham Ali.
Although Abraham Ali will not be able to play this cushion match, it will not prevent him from coming to watch the game. I just don't know if he came to support his senior brother Leonard or to see Wang Lei's strength with his own eyes.
There were no fewer stars coming to cheer for this match than Foreman and Tyson, and almost all of the current champions came, except for Ali and Fraser, who did not return.
Including Wang Lei's former opponent Robert Duran and future opponent Thomas Hearns, and even Marvin Hagler, who retired after two defeats to Leonard, also came.
The former four kings of the middleweight division are together again!
In addition to these well-known boxing champions, Hollywood stars also came in a lot of numbers, even more than at the time of the battle between Foreman and Tyson.
After all, Wang Lei also has an identity as the highest-grossing screenwriter in Hollywood.
Because this game is very important to Wang Lei, Zhou Yuwei also deliberately asked for leave. I came over with my sister.
Guse has already set odds for this match.
It's just that although Leonard is the darling of the United States, Ali is considered a middleweight, and his popularity is higher than Wang Lei, but the company does not dare to adjust his odds too high.
Leonard's record is impressive. Recognized as the first of the four kings of the middleweight division, he has three levels of boxing championship belts in welterweight, super welterweight and middleweight, one more level than Wang Lei. But he was thirty-three years old after all.
He will choose to retire and come back at every turn, not to mention, and once lost to Robert Duran.
And his habit of delaying the date of the game has also made the company a little suspicious of his current strength.
Leonard's last fight was against Hagler in February last year, although he was outstanding in that bout. He beat Hagler by an undisputed points scoreline, but he has since been semi-retired, a year and four months without a match.
On the contrary, Wang Lei played four games after the rematch between Leonard and Hagler.
Not counting the one against Roy Jones Jr., the other three were all weighty, and the opponents were all top fighters.
Mike McCollum, Robert Duran and John Mugabi are all worthy of a rival to Leonard.
Robert Duran, in particular, had two fights with Leonard, the first of which was a fifteen-round fight between the two men, and Duran won by undisputed points. In the second game, Duran's coach died of a heart attack on the spot. Duran had no intention of fighting, and in the eighth round, he suddenly turned around and stopped fighting.
In previous lives, Leonard and Duran played three games, beating Duran on points in the third.
But the third game hasn't happened yet. So the jury still has not yet been made whether Leonard and Duran are the strongest and who is weak. But most people tend to be evenly matched.
The problem is that Leonard's only defeat so far was given to him by Robert Duran, and Wang Lei defeated Robert Duran by knockout!
In addition, Wang Lei's 14-14 and 14-14 all-knockout record is more impressive than Leonard's 35-1 record of 25 knockouts.
Although Wang Lei has played more than half of his professional fights than Leonard, the quality of his opponents is not worse than Leonard's.
So after careful consideration, the analysts at Gourcing adjusted the odds of the two to almost the same.
In other words, analysts at the company believe that both of them have a 55 percent chance of winning.
Leonard was annoyed by this, feeling that the odds of 55 were an insult to him. However, he couldn't get Bocai to change the odds, so he could only swallow the grievances into his stomach and tell the media that he would definitely knock down Wang Lei in this game.
It's not a point win, it's a complete knockout!
Wang Lei scoffed at this. told the reporter who interviewed him that Leonard is just a big talker, and with his fists as strong as a girl, even if he doesn't fight back just by defending, Leonard is not capable of knocking him down.
The exchange of sprays between the two before the game made the media reporters ecstatic, and they wished that the two would fight before the game so that they could have more news to write about.
It's a pity that Wang Lei and Leonard sprayed each other badly before the game. But after meeting, he behaved very restrained, and had no idea of fighting before the game, and calmly entered the Caesars Palace Hotel with the support of their respective camps.
The first thing Wang Lei did after entering the locker room of the hotel boxing scene was to weigh himself and take a urine test under the supervision of someone sent by the WBC organization.
Wang Lei's weight has slowly increased over the past few months, and now it is just 160 pounds, no more, no less. And his height has only grown by one centimeter, just 1.80 meters.
Leonard's height is 1.78 meters, and Wang Lei is two centimeters taller than him. But Leonard's arm span is 1.88 meters, and Wang Lei's arm span is very weird and does not grow, it is 1.80 meters like his height, in this case it is difficult to say who suffers.
After weighing and urine testing, Wang Lei began to warm up, and after warming up, he enjoyed Amanda's massage while patiently waiting for the game to start.
After the two mat games that were a little dull and had no highlights, it was finally Wang Lei's turn to play.
Although Wang Lei has two divisions of six-bar gold belts, he has promoted to the 160-pound middleweight division but has still fought a fight, and he does not have any middleweight honors in his body, so he can only be regarded as a challenger and has to play before Leonard.
Wang Lei didn't care about this, and he didn't give up his appearance ceremony because of the first appearance.
With the loud introduction of the host of the boxing scene, when the searchlight shone on, a strong and solemn music sounded, and the door of the locker room opened.
It was not Wang Lei who came out first, but a golden dragon that was eighteen meters long.
That's right, this is the dragon dance team that Wang Lei invited from San Francisco's Chinatown at a great price, and the golden, eighteen-meter-long dragon was made by the dragon dance team in accordance with Wang Lei's requirements.
Not only realistic, but also very majestic, mighty, and has a kind of momentum that dominates the world!
After the golden dragon appeared, it was followed by six strong men who were more than two meters tall and held a boxing gold belt high in both hands.
The audience who saw this scene was speechless.
It's a 160-pound middleweight championship, what do you mean by the 147-pound welterweight and 154-pound super welterweight belts?
Could it be that if you lose to Leonard in the fight, Leonard can still take your six belts?
When Wang Lei appeared in the back, the audience was even more speechless.
Wang Lei was carried out by eight people carrying the bridge.
Eight strong men carried the bridge, and there were four ladies of etiquette wearing Han Dynasty palace clothes, beautiful and beautiful figures.
Sitting on a very beautiful and solemn high bridge, he was dressed in a golden robe, boxing gloves, shorts, and even shoes and socks were all golden.
And on his robe, there is also a huge five-melon golden dragon tattooed!
Actually appeared in a dragon robe, Nima, this kid regards himself as the emperor of the professional boxing world!
Many Chinese viewers at the scene naturally understood the significance of Wang Lei wearing a dragon robe, and they all lowered their heads and covered their faces and couldn't bear to look at them directly, but they were embarrassed!
On the contrary, the foreign audience at the scene didn't have so many ideas, they just felt that Wang Lei's appearance ceremony was too stylish and amazing.
After being stunned, they all applauded and screamed wildly.
Wang Lei's appearance ceremony took almost five minutes before he walked to the ring, and he didn't get off the bridge, he directly did a somersault, and flipped from the bridge to the ring.
Such a nimble somersault immediately caused the audience to scream again.
The host of the boxing scene was stunned by Wang Lei's appearance ceremony, and was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses, and hurriedly introduced Wang Lei's opponent Leonard to play.
Searchlights shine through the door of another locker room.
The door opened, and Leonard, dressed in a black shirt, black shorts, black shoes and black socks, and black boxing gloves, looked like the Grim Reaper of the West.
Leonard's appearance ceremony was simple, with only three black men holding three middleweight belts in the air, in addition to his coach, agent, and assistants.
Leonard walked steadily, but walked quickly, and in less than a minute, he came to the ring and stood opposite Wang Lei with a blank face.
Obviously, Leonard was very upset by Wang Lei's appearance ceremony!
This caused Leonard's always humble and polite gentleman appearance to disappear, not only with a straight face, but also with an unusually cold look.
With his black outfit, he looks more like the Grim Reaper!
It's a pity that a big scythe is missing! (To be continued.) )
