Chapter 309 Opponents and venues of the WBA Intercontinental Boxing Championship

After Wang Hao successfully won the two professional boxing matches, the next match will be very important for Wang Hao, because it is time to compete for the intercontinental boxing champion's gold belt.

In the third match, if Wang Hao can successfully obtain the Intercontinental Champion Gold Belt, he will be qualified for the challenge of the WBA Super Lightweight Champion.

So the third intercontinental boxing championship will be a very important link between Wang Hao.

Therefore, William, the owner of the Rhine Boxing Club, took the initiative to find Wang Hao, and he has also carefully helped Wang Hao find two opponents.

After the last match between Wang Hao and Scherf, he looked forward to his next match and his opponent. The match against Scherf, Wang Hao consumes very little, even if he immediately plays the next match within a month. For Wang Hao, there is absolutely no problem.

Wang Hao listened carefully when William was about to introduce himself to his opponent in the next game.

William said: "The two opponents I have looked for for you are undefeated fighters, and they are both in the top ten in the WBA world rankings. They are almost the strongest fighters in Europe's super lightweight."

"The first boxer was a British super lightweight boxer named Phil. He is twenty-eight years old this year. He has been playing professional boxing for seven or eight years. He has a professional record of 29 matches and has won a total of 19 matches. Knocked down the opponent in the field and won, ranking ninth in the WBA."

"The second boxer is a Bulgarian boxer named Nielas. He is 24 years old and has a professional record of 23 games. He won 21 games by knocking down his opponent. He is currently super lightweight. Ranked seventh. Nielas can be said to be a rookie compared to the British boxer Filcher, but the density of matches is very high."

William briefly introduced the two fighters.

Wang Hao listened carefully to William's introduction. The two boxers, an English boxer and a Bulgarian boxer, were both in their twenties before the fight, and their results were very good. So far, they have not lost a game. Obviously, the two fighters have made each step one step at a time, and only then have they ranked in the top ten in the WBA world.

Judging from their record, Bulgarian boxer Nielas obviously has a higher knockdown rate, but British boxer Fierch has played more games and has more experience.

"These two fighters are good!" Wang Hao continued to ask the question about the playing style of his closest opponent, "How about the skills and playing style of these two fighters?"

William said: "I have learned about this, and I have communicated with Paul. The two boxers' styles are relatively tough, but relatively speaking, the Bulgarian boxer Nielas' style of play is a bit tougher. It belongs to that kind. If you can end the opponent to win in the game, you will never choose a boxer judged by points."

"The British boxer Filch is somewhat different. Although his body is also very strong, he is also an offensive style of play. He is committed to knocking down his opponents and winning. However, when he encounters difficult or particularly strong opponents, Filch does not He will force a knockdown. A steady victory is his first choice. He will only try to end his opponent when he has a chance."

"In short, judging from the styles of the two boxers, the Bulgarian boxer can take risks in pursuit of knockdown, but Filch is relatively stable, and both boxers have comprehensive skills. Before entering the professional boxing field, they have also played amateur boxing. , Boxing skills are solid. Filch has a long arm span, relatively speaking, he is better at long-distance play, while Bulgarian boxer Nielas uses both long-distance and close-range play. A style of play."

William introduced his understanding of the skills and playing style of the two fighters.

Wang Hao listened carefully. After William's introduction, Wang Hao knew that the two boxers, Philch and Nielas, were very good in terms of technical and physical fitness, but relatively speaking, Wang Hao was even better. I like the style of Bulgarian boxer Nielas.

Bulgarian boxer Nielas pursues knockdown rate and can make the game more exciting. This is what Wang Hao likes. Wang Hao doesn't want his game to be dull. Whether it is from personal preference or from the perspective of treating the audience, Wang Hao hopes that he The competition I participated in was very intense and exciting.

Compared with the Bulgarian boxer Nielas, the British boxer Filch is also aggressive in his style of play, but he is less adventurous. He is only willing to seek to knock down his opponent when he is sure, but to work hard when he is not sure. Yu Modian.

In terms of competition strategy as a boxer, it is clear that British boxer Filch can adopt a better game strategy than Bulgarian boxer Nielas, but Wang Hao feels that when facing himself, British boxer Filch may Playing the game more conservatively will reduce the excitement of the game.

So, from Wang Hao's point of view, he prefers to choose Bulgarian boxer Nielas as his opponent for the next WBA Intercontinental Champion title.

Wang Hao replied: "These two fighters, as my opponents in the next match, are good, but I think Bulgarian fighter Nielas is more suitable."

William nodded. He knew that from Wang Hao's point of view, he would definitely prefer Bulgarian boxer Nielas. After all, Nielas had a stronger offensive style and could bring Wang Hao the game he wanted.

However, in addition to opponents, it is also a question of what stage to put Wang Hao's next match on. William has considered this, and continued: "Bulgarian fighter Nielas and British fighter Filch are different. The promotion company's boxer, British boxer Filch signed a contract with Hearn Promotion Company in the UK, while Bulgarian boxer Nielas signed a contract with TopRank Promotion Company in Arum, USA."

"To reach a match with these two boxers, it is more to negotiate with the two promotion companies, but because they are also optimistic about your market potential, and the relationship between the Rhine Boxing Club and their two promotion companies is also very good. Therefore, there is no problem with the promotion of the game, and the remaining problems are only the problem of the venue and the rewards of the fighters."

William continued.

"British boxer Filch is well-known in the UK. Outside the UK, I know that this boxer has very few fans. Therefore, the best venue to play against Filch is in the United Kingdom, as well as on the European continent. The Hearn Promotion Company, which we signed with the other party, had preliminary talks. If you and Filcher's match can be promoted, the other party wants to use this match as the second battle between British heavyweight boxing champion Lewis and his old rival Michael McCall. Play in the final match. And it may be the home match."

"Although Bulgarian boxer Nielas is a European boxer, he is signed under Arum's banner, so most of the matches are played in the United States. He has a certain reputation in Eastern Europe and the United States. We initially negotiated with TopRank. The opponent has already found a place for Nielas in the second match between Chavez and De La Hoya two months later, but there is no opponent yet."

"They also think that you are a very suitable opponent, but this game is about to go to Las Vegas, USA, and the referee there, I am not sure whether it will be biased."

William explained all his thoughts and the information just mentioned.

Wang Hao is also carefully analyzing.

Wang Hao knew that British boxer Filch would play for Lewis, and Bulgarian boxer Nielas would play for Chavez and De La Hoya. Obviously, he chose these two different opponents. It is equivalent to choosing different venues and competition stages.

Of course, the opportunities for these two games are good. Although the second game between Lewis and McCall is in the UK, but relying on Lewis' influence, this game is world-class and will attract audiences far beyond the UK.

Especially Lewis's only failure in his current career is losing to McCall.

The battle between Lewis and McCall was the first time Lewis missed Jingzhou. The game only went to the second round, and Lewis, who was too relaxed, was knocked down by McCall with a cold punch.

This is the first time Lewis lost. It also made Lewis lose the WBC heavyweight champion gold belt, but then Lewis won the IBF heavyweight champion gold belt.

Therefore, the second battle between Lewis and McCall is not only a revenge battle of Lewis, but also a united battle between the heavyweight champions of WBC and IBF, which will attract the attention of world boxing fans.

The second battle between De La Hoya and Chavez, although not like the second battle between Lewis and McCall, has a high influence in the entire world, but it has great influence on the United States and Mexico. For fans, the appeal of this game is definitely not lower than that of Lewis and McCall.

However, the referees in Las Vegas mentioned by William are indeed a problem. It is common for Las Vegas referees to defend American boxers or big-name boxers. When Wang Hao was last, GGG Golovkin The fruit of victory in the battle against Avarez was robbed by the referee in Las Vegas.

However, Wang Hao feels that this situation will not happen to him, because if he is finally determined to play against Bulgarian boxer Nielas, Wang Hao will not let his opponent stand until the end of the game.

After a short period of thinking, Wang Hao still decided to play against Bulgarian boxer Nielas. In addition to the reason for the style of Nielas's game, Wang Hao can also visit Chavez and De· La Hoya's second battle.

Both Chavez and De La Hoya are Wang Hao's immediate opponents, especially the current WBA super lightweight champion Chavez. Once Wang Hao finishes the third game, he will challenge Chavez's WBA super light The heavyweight gold belt is the game that Wang Hao is about to play.

Being able to watch the second battle between Chavez and De La Hoya was very helpful for Wang Hao to prepare for the match with the two.

Wang Hao replied: “It's better to choose the match against Bulgarian boxer Nielas first!”

William nodded. Although he felt that Lewis and McCall were more influential in the second match, in fact, the difference in influence between the two main matches was not big. Wang Hao chose to fight Bulgarian boxer Nielas. William naturally Will make every effort to promote the game.

After talking about the opponent and location of the next game, the two chatted a little more, and William cared about Wang Hao's training and life.

For life, Wang Hao is not very demanding, and the living conditions provided by the Rhine Boxing Club are superior enough. The three-bedroom apartment in the center of Berlin and the food standard of $3,000 per month is enough for Wang Hao.

But as for training, Wang Hao still has some ideas. In the amateur boxing era, although Wang Hao also attached great importance to the training of his strength and confrontation ability, because the coach was Atoli Lomachenko, Wang Hao learned more. It is the essence of Soviet boxing, as well as techniques such as circling steps.

After coming to the Rhine Boxing Club, Paul brought some new technical details to Wang Hao, as well as the improvement of his fighting ability.

Although these techniques are enough for Wang Hao to become a good boxing champion, Wang Hao still hopes to go further and wants to make his style and strength of the game more destructive.

Wang Hao needs the control ability and penetrating jabs and heavy punches like the previous middleweight overlord Golovkin. Wang Hao needs to make his fists, especially jabs, be able to stick to his opponent.

Originally, Wang Hao wanted to wait until he got the title of the first professional boxing champion before mentioning it to William and Paul, but since William took the initiative to ask today, Wang Hao also raised it.

After hearing Wang Hao's idea to improve his technique, William immediately said that he would help Wang Hao find a suitable coach all over the world.

After chatting for a while, William left. Before leaving, William told Wang Hao that the next game of Wang Hao's appearance fee, whether played in the United Kingdom or in the United States, will double, and the ticket and TV revenue will be higher. .

Hearing this information, Wang Hao was naturally very happy.

In the last match between Hamburg and Scherff, Wang Hao received 250,000 US dollars in appearance fees, more than 600,000 US dollars in tickets and TV broadcast income, and the next game's appearance fees doubled, tickets and TV broadcasts. The income will be higher, which means that Wang Hao will receive at least half a million US dollars in appearance fees for the next game, plus the ticket and TV broadcast income, will easily exceed one million US dollars.

For Wang Hao, earning more than one million dollars in a game can be regarded as crossing a threshold of income. This threshold, most boxers, may not be able to cross in their lifetime, and Wang Hao has only spent a few minutes to reach this level. Months.

Of course, Wang Hao knows that the increase in income is all because the previous two games have played well enough and the market influence is steadily expanding. Promotion companies and TV stations know that Wang Hao's games can attract audiences and are profitable, so Wang Hao can get more. Good game earnings.

After talking with William, Wang Hao devoted himself to intense and substantial training day after day, and waited for William's news.

After a few days, William finally got news. The negotiation with TopRank Promotion Company and Bulgarian boxer Nielas failed for some reasons. If Wang Hao wants to play as early as possible, the best choice is to play against British boxer Filch and Lewis. It's a match with McCall.
