Oscar de la Hoya is led by Cruise to the Sadler Boxing Gym. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sadler was making a cameo appearance as a referee on the stage at this time, staring at Wang Lei and Foreman's actual combat practice.
Sixteen-year-old De La Hoya stared in disbelief at the two figures fighting in the ring.
One weighs only 155 pounds in the super welterweight division, and the other weighs 250 pounds. Not only is the weight difference between the two nearly 100 pounds, but even the difference in height is half a head.
In this way, the two people stand in the ring, as if they were adults and children.
The adults and children fought fiercely in the ring, and to De La Hoya's surprise, the kids had the upper hand.
knows boxing very well, and De La Hoya, who has watched Tyson's match on the spot, can naturally see that Wang Lei, who is "smaller" in stature and weight, is imitating Tyson's style of play.
Although it was just a mimicry, his attacks were just as ferocious, and they seemed to be a little faster.
Foreman, who was as huge as a black bear, was beaten by Wang Lei and could only defend and could not fight back, although he had the advantage of height and weight.
Occasionally, when he found time to land a jab and a backhand hook, Wang Lei could easily avoid it, and then hit back two or three heavy punches.
At the end of the first round, Foreman failed to effectively land a heavy punch on Wang Lei, but Wang Lei bombarded him with more than 50 heavy punches on his body and head at least.
De La Hoya was surprised, thinking that Foreman was also a former boxing champion, undefeated after his comeback, and was recognized as a heavyweight fighter whose strength was not below Tyson. Wang Lei actually beat Foreman so embarrassed with a super welterweight weight, could it be that his strength at this time can already dominate the heavyweight division?
Cruise, who was on the side, saw the doubts in De La Hoya's heart, and asked with a smile, "Do you think Wang Lei is too powerful?" ”
De La Hoya nodded instinctively.
"Hehe, your talent is not bad, as long as you practice well, sooner or later you will be as powerful as Wang Lei!"
"Mr. Cruise, Wang Lei, can he beat the heavyweight division now?"
"Oh, don't be fooled by the illusion. Didn't you see Foreman's boxing gloves, wearing such thick and heavy boxing gloves not only limited Foreman's heavy punches, but also affected his punching speed, so Wang Lei could easily gain the upper hand. But even so, Wang Lei can only have the upper hand in the first three rounds, and he can't fight like this in every round. As soon as he gets a punch from Foreman, he's done. A heavyweight fighter's heavy punches are not something a middleweight fighter can afford, even if he is a triple crown champion in two divisions! ”
Smiling, Cruise said again: "Wang Lei should have played extraordinarily today, and his reaction and speed are much faster than yesterday." He was punched in a fight with Foreman yesterday and almost fell unconscious. It is estimated that he was scared by Forman's heavy punch and didn't want to be punched again, so he became so powerful! ”
De La Hoya asked, "King Lei... Is he imitating Tyson? ”
"That's right!" Cruise laughed: "Sadler wanted to find a fighter who could emulate Tyson's style of play and style and practice with Foreman, but no one could. Except for Wang Lei, his style of play and style are 100% similar to Tyson, and if he is upgraded to the heavyweight, he will be the second Tyson! ”
De La Hoya asked again: "Didn't Wang Lei say that Foreman's style is compatible with Tyson, why didn't I see it just now?" ”
Cruise laughed "hehe" and said: "How can he take his nonsense about the media seriously?" Foreman didn't take his words seriously, didn't you see Foreman's depressed expression? ”
Foreman's expression was indeed depressed at this time, and his mood was even more depressed.
To be honest, after Wang Lei talked to media reporters about his analysis and views on the match with Tyson, Foreman almost believed Wang Lei's words, thinking that his boxing style could really restrain Tyson.
Because after watching the video of Tyson's game, Foreman also found that Tyson's style of play is indeed very similar to his old rival Joe Frazier.
It was only after a few actual combat exercises with Wang Lei, who imitated Tyson's style, that Foreman realized that Wang Lei's analysis was pure.
This kid's body is too flexible, and his reaction is too fast!
Even if he was imitating Tyson's boxing style, which was not his best style of playing, Foreman found that he still couldn't block Wang Lei's attacks.
If it weren't for Wang Lei's fist not being too heavy and not posing a threat to him, I'm afraid he would have been knocked down by Wang Lei a long time ago.
But despite this, dozens of punches were given to the face and ribs, and Foreman was not comfortable even if he was as strong as a black bear.
His face was swollen.
It's not that Foreman doesn't want to fight back, it's that he can't.
Wang Lei has improved so quickly that his reflexes and body skills have improved by at least two notches compared to last year, not only much faster and more agile than his old rival Joe Fraser, but also faster than Tyson. Last year, Foreman and Wang Lei could often hit Wang Lei during actual combat practice, but now it is difficult for him to hit Wang Lei's punch.
What's more, Foreman's heavy punches were also limited by the ultra-thick gloves, and the speed of his punches was slowed down.
Even if there was no limit, Foreman didn't dare to really hit Wang Lei hard.
Wang Lei is now Sadler and Arum's baby pimple, if he hits Wang Lei hard and accidentally injures Wang Lei, Sadler and Arum will definitely turn against him.
It was difficult to hit Wang Lei, and he couldn't really fight with him, so he could only be beaten passively, which made Foreman very depressed.
If it weren't for Wang Lei's imitation of Tyson's true resemblance, Foreman would have protested a long time ago.
However, after a few days of actual combat practice with Wang Lei, Foreman began to doubt Wang Lei's statement to media reporters.
Can he really beat Tyson?
Tyson's heavy punches are much heavier than Wang Lei's, and it is estimated that he is not much different from him. And it seems that the body is also very strong, and the resistance is not weaker than him.
With the same heavy punches and strong body as him, if the flexibility and reaction speed are also as fast as Wang Lei, Foreman is sure that he is looking for abuse when he fights Tyson.
Sadler saw Foreman's thoughts, and said to him: "George, don't worry that Tyson is also as fast and flexible as Wang Lei. It's impossible, Wang Lei is a super welterweight boxer, and Tyson is a heavyweight, weighing sixty or seventy pounds heavier than Wang Lei. What's more, even if Tyson can really be as fast and flexible as Wang Lei, he may not be able to suppress you comprehensively, and he is not as familiar with you as Wang Lei is. Don't forget that Wang Lei fought with you several times last year, and he didn't beat you once. Yesterday, he was almost knocked unconscious by your punch, and today Wang Lei just played extraordinarily! ”
After a pause, Sadler said: "You are limited by super thick gloves, and your strength is not fully exerted. If you can fight Wang Lei in this state for five rounds without falling behind, you have a great chance of defeating Tyson! ”
Fight five rounds without falling behind?
It's an impossible task!
Foreman smiled bitterly in his heart, but on the surface he nodded very firmly, and said: "Sadler, don't worry, I will work hard!" ”
Regardless, Foreman has also longed for the heavyweight belt he once lost.
If he has a chance to get it back, he will never allow himself to fail!
Wang Lei, who was resting on the other side, just took a sip of water, and when he put down the cup, he happened to see De La Hoya in the audience.
Thinking that De La Hoya was very familiar but couldn't remember it for a while, Wang Lei asked Cruise, who was standing with De La Hoya, "Chuck, who is this white boy?" ”
Cruise replied, "His name is De La Hoya, he's from Los Angeles, and he's here to learn boxing from Sadler!" ”
"Who do you say he is?"
"Oscar de la Hoya!"
It was De La Hoya who replied, and he told Wang Lei his full name aloud.
Wang Lei was stunned.
Could it be that this white boy is so familiar, he is actually the famous "golden boy", the gold medalist of the boxing competition at the Barcelona Olympics in 92, won the boxing championship belt ten times in six professional boxing competitions, and is known as the most commercially valuable guy after Tyson and before Mayweather.
It seems that this kid also set up a golden boy promotion company after retiring, and he did a good job and was very business-minded.
How did this kid come to San Francisco to learn boxing from Sadler?
Wasn't his professional boxing coach Floyd Mayweather Sr.'s father?
Could it be that he was affected by the reborn butterfly of my brother again?
"Hey, boy, have you ever boxed before?" Wang Lei asked.
"Hmph, don't underestimate me, I started boxing when I was six years old, and now I have fought seventy amateur boxing matches, and I won the junior boxing championship in the Los Angeles area at the age of eleven!" De La Hoya said unconvinced.
Having fought seventy amateur fights and winning the Los Angeles Area Junior Boxing Championship at the age of eleven?
This kid really has more amateur years than Ge Niu!
It seems that this kid played more than 220 games in his amateur years, only lost five games, and only entered the professional circle after winning the Olympic gold medal in 92.
Counting the time, there are still four years before this kid becomes a professional boxer, and he fights 150 amateur boxing matches in four years, which is really diligent!
After sighing, Wang Lei asked again: "Boy, who did you learn boxing with in Los Angeles?" ”
De La Hoya replied, "Easter Said's boxing school!" ”
Esther Seid?
Haven't heard of it!
Wang Lei shook his head and asked again, "Then why don't you continue to stay there and practice boxing, and come to San Francisco?" ”
De La Hoya replied loudly: "Because I want to be a professional boxing champion, to be like you, or even surpass you!" ”
Wang Lei couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this: "What ambition!" ”
Turning his head to Sadler on the other side, he said: "Sadler, I think this kid is good, take him, there will be another boxing champion under your command in the future!" ”
Sadler stared at Delahobaya in the audience without blinking, and asked, "Oh, Ray, you can take good care of him just by saying a few words, don't you test it first and then talk big?" ”
"No need!" Wang Lei waved his hand and said, "Don't forget that I am Chinese, and Chinese physiognomy is not something you can understand." You can be a coach, but when it comes to people's eyes, no one can compare to me. I said that if this kid can become a boxing champion, he will definitely become a boxing champion! ”
Wang Lei thought to himself: Brother's influence seems to be getting bigger and bigger, not only let Foreman return to Sadler's command, but even the future "golden boy" has been attracted. Do you want to fool a few future boxing champions again?
If Trinidad, Morris, Wagus, and other pan-middleweight champions who will be as famous as De La Hoya in the future can be fooled, and even Mayweather this kid can be fooled, Sadler's boxing gym will become a real boxing champion processing factory, and Sadler will be awesome!
