The annual event of Boxing Magazine was held at the famous Javits Convention and Exhibition Center in New York. The event was scheduled on Sunday afternoon local time and lasted until the evening. There were more than 500 guests, all of whom were celebrities in the boxing industry.
Among them are this year's best boxer, best match-winning boxer, best coach, best newcomer, and other award-winning fighters and coaches. There are also other world-renowned active and former world champions, famous coaches, boxing agents, and broadcast companies. And sports news media reporters and other staff.
Wang Hao, William, Paul, and Sanchez came to the Javits Convention and Exhibition Center together. After registering at the welcome desk, they walked straight into the annual meeting site. At this time, it was about three in the afternoon. The participants had already arrived. For the most part.
Wang Hao and his party walked into the annual meeting of Boxing Magazine in the Javits Convention and Exhibition Center, and quickly attracted the attention of other people on the scene, mainly because Wang Hao's identity as an Asian is a bit unusual here.
Wang Hao walked into the annual meeting site, looked around for a week, and found some very familiar faces.
At the scene closer to the stage of the annual meeting, sitting the current pan-middleweight boxing, the most appealing boxer in the market, the American "golden boy" Oscar de la Hoya, sitting beside him is the American boxing Another top boxer of the pan middleweight, "Sugar Nugget" Sean Moseley, one of the four middleweight kings, and the middleweight overlord who has just begun to show dominance, is now the IBF middleweight. Class boxing champion American "executioner" Hopkins.
When Wang Hao entered the field, Oscar de la Hoya also paid attention to Wang Hao. At this time, Mosley and Hopkins were chatting enthusiastically.
"Look! This year's best newcomer is here!" Oscar de la Hoya said to Mosley and Hopkins, the latter two also hurriedly looked towards the entrance when they heard what Oscar de la Hoya said. Place.
Of the three Oscar de la Hoya, Mosley and Hopkins, only Oscar de la Hoya won the boxing magazine's best cutting-edge in the year of his debut, and the award for the best cutting-edge of the year Although Mosley and Hopkins had dreamed of them when they debuted, they are still a little bit lucky.
Therefore, when they learned that Wang Hao, an Asian boxer, won the best cutting-edge boxing magazine, Mosley and Hopkins were also very envious. When they saw Wang Hao entering the field, they looked at it a few more times and voted. Complex eyes.
"I heard that the WBO super lightweight gold belt that you lost after the upgrade is already in Wang Hao's hands?" Hopkins also remembered something and asked Mosley.
"Yes! More than a week ago, in the WBO title match, Wang Hao defeated Camacho and won the WBO super lightweight title! He is now the owner of the two super lightweight world titles of WBA and WBO. !" Mosley replied.
"It's amazing! It's still so young!" Hopkins replied after taking another look in Wang Hao's direction. "You and De La Hoya have already upgraded and no longer play super lightweight games. Wouldn't it be that Wang Hao will become Super lightweight ruler?"
"Not necessarily!" Before Mosley could answer, Oscar de la Hoya replied at this time. "The other two super lightweight boxing champion gold belts are on Costa Zu, and Wang Hao wants If you want to unify the super lightweight, you must pass the level of Costa Zu. The game between the two will be very suspenseful!"
"I personally prefer Costa Zu!" Mosley said at this time.
Hearing what Oscar de la Hoya and Mosley said, Hopkins also remembered Costa Zu, the boxer.
The fighters of the former Soviet Union countries, the Soviet style of boxing, which is completely different from the current style of boxing fighters, the extremely threatening right-hand back punch, and the pigtail hanging behind his head, these are all Costa Zu's bright, Striking features.
Before Costa Zu made his debut, the top fighters in boxing were almost all European and American boxers. Although there were many good boxers in the former Soviet Union, they hardly played professional boxing.
There are not even as many professional boxers from the former Soviet Union countries as those who smuggled from Cuba to the United States.
However, the appearance of Costa Zu changed this situation. Costa Zu was the first former Soviet national boxer to be welcomed by mainstream professional boxing audiences.
"Costa Zu just blew the Soviet style in the current professional boxing world! I did not expect another Chinese boxer to blow the Asian style!" Hopkins also commented, "This is a good thing, for The development of professional boxing all over the world is very beneficial!"
"Hmm!" Hoya nodded, "This is indeed! But Wang Hao and Costa Zu are still different."
"The former Soviet Union has no fewer outstanding boxers than European and American countries. Costa Zu is only one of the few professional boxing players who have gone down the mountain in this group of tigers. Compared with Costa Zu, Wang Hao is definitely an alternative. He grew up in In Asia where boxing is underdeveloped, it is definitely a miracle that Wang Hao can make his mark!"
Hopkins and Mosley nodded, coming from Asia where boxing is underdeveloped, Wang Hao can also become a top professional boxer, which is really admirable.
Wang Hao did not notice that Oscar de la Hoya and Hopkins were discussing himself. His eyes swept over Oscar de la Hoya, Hopkins and Mosley. Behind my eyes, I looked at other places.
At the annual event of Boxing Magazine, Wang Hao also saw Mike Tyson, Holyfield, Riddick Bow and Lewis, and even the old boxing champion Foreman, and the New Zealand heavyweight boxer with a style similar to Tyson. Tua.
These heavyweight champions are scattered in different positions on the scene. They are tall and conspicuous. Among them, WBC heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis and his coach Stewart are sitting in the second row. This year Holyfield, who won the battle against Tyson, sat in the first row with his coach Turner. Wang Hao also saw another very famous pan-welterweight boxer, Puerto Rican boxer Trinidad, who was also one of the four welterweight kings, who was also sitting on the scene with his agent Don King. Conspicuous location.
In addition to these famous boxers and coaches, Wang Hao also saw some famous boxing referees and hosts, such as HBO's famous golden voice host Michael Buffal and SHOWTIME's famous golden voice host Jimmy Lennon were also on the scene. The referee Kenny Bayless and Richard Steele also sat in different positions on the scene.
Apparently they are also invited guests of the boxing magazine annual meeting.
These famous boxing champions, coaches, agents, referees and hosts, Wang Hao almost never met in person in his last life. Although he has seen a lot in this life, he has seen so many top celebrities in the boxing world gather together. It was the first time for Wang Hao, so the moment Wang Hao walked into the boxing magazine annual meeting, he was in a very good mood!
Wang Hao looked around the scene for a week, and together with William and others, under the guidance of the on-site attendant, they walked to their place together. At this time, a familiar figure greeted him.
"Hi! Dear Mr. Wang Hao! Hello! "The visitor is a tall, thin black man, very polite and very polite.
Wang Hao followed the voice and saw that the other party was the famous American boxing agent, Al Haymon.
Wang Hao, who has the memory of his last life, knows that Al Haymon is one of the most famous agents in the history of American boxing. His fame and strength are no less than that of Don King and Arum. He is just the Al Haymon of this era. The career has just started, and it is not as deep as the promotion company of Don King and Arum, but after entering the 21st century, especially in the second decade of the 21st century, Al Haymon's boxer Mayweather He achieved great success with Pacquiao, and Al Haymon was repeatedly named the best boxing agent by the American Boxing Association. His strength and fame have surpassed Don King and Arum at the time.
Wang Hao met Al Haymon in this life because at the Atlanta Olympics, after Wang Hao defeated Hernandez to win the gold medal, he was strongly recruited by Al Haymon. Al Haymon liked Wang Hao very much. And personally shot Wang Hao enthusiastically.
At that time, Tang Jin and Arum's brokerage company also took a fancy to Wang Hao, but they were both young brokers sent to approach Wang Hao. Obviously, they paid far less attention to Wang Hao than Al Haimeng.
This makes Wang Hao also have a lot of affection for Al Haymon, but Wang Hao had decided to start boxing in Germany and chose the Rhine Boxing Club. If Wang Hao decided to start a professional boxing career in the United States, he would probably choose Al Haymon.
Although Wang Hao is not currently a boxer under Al Haimeng, Al Haimen has always been obsessed with Wang Hao, especially after Wang Hao defeated Chavez and Camacho in succession, Al Haimen knew that Wang Hao was definitely not in the pool. , Will be another Hoylevel existence.
And Al Haymon knew that with Wang Hao's strength, it would not take long before he would definitely land in the United States. At that time, Al Haymon would have a chance.
So, when he met Wang Hao at the annual meeting of Boxing Magazine, Al Haimen immediately got up from his seat, took the initiative to walk towards Wang Hao, and greeted Wang Hao enthusiastically.
"I learned that you won the best cutting-edge of this year! It's worthy of your name, congratulations! Congratulations!" Al Haimeng stretched out his hand, shook Wang Hao tightly, and praised Wang Hao.
Raised his hand without hitting the smiley person, and Wang Hao had a very good impression of Al Haimeng. Wang Hao shook hands with Al Haimeng very happily and talked.
However, at this time, William, who was also an agent, was a little unhappy. He didn't know if Al Haymon had any purpose in coming so close to Wang Hao as an agent. But as a boxing agent, William I don't like other agents getting too close to my fighters.
William only signed a five-year contract with Wang Hao, but in William's mind, he hoped that Wang Hao would stay at the Rhine Boxing Club. After all, an excellent boxer like Wang Hao would be a rare encounter in ten years.
Moreover, the strength of American boxing agents is very strong. Even though the Rhine Boxing Club is already the best boxing club and agency company in Europe, the first-class agency companies in the United States are still significantly stronger than the Rhine Boxing Club.
The contact between Al Haimeng and Wang Hao gave William a sense of crisis while unhappy. Watching Al Haimeng talking with Wang Hao, William thought he should raise Wang Hao's treatment a bit higher.
Talked with Al Haimeng for a while. Wang Hao, William and others sat in their seats. At this time, the annual meeting of Boxing Magazine began immediately.
The boss of Boxing Magazine first gave a speech on behalf of Boxing Magazine, and then the editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine took 20 minutes to present and summarize the major events and major competitions that have occurred in boxing in the past year to all the guests on the scene.
It naturally mentioned that Wang Hao entered the professional boxing world and obtained two super lightweight gold belts.
The editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine said: "This year there will be a duel between the veteran boxing champions, like the battle between Tyson and Holyfield I just said, and there are also stories of the king's revenge, such as Lewis defeating McCaw. Well, there is also the birth of a young king."
"Among them, the most typical is naturally the super lightweight Mr. Wang Hao! Mr. Wang Hao was a double champion of the World Championships and the Olympic Games in the amateur boxing era. After entering the professional boxing world, it took only one year to defeat the super Lightweight older generation kings Chavez and Camacho! They have become the most dazzling new stars of professional boxing this year!” continued the editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine.
While the editor-in-chief of the boxing magazine narrated, there was also warm applause. Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Hopkins and other celebrities all applauded and congratulated Wang Hao for his achievements.
"Especially the most precious thing is that Mr. Wang Hao comes from Asia, China. Although this ancient country has made brilliant achievements in sports such as table tennis and badminton, it has not made much achievements in boxing so far, Mr. Wang Hao. Creating history has not only led China and even the entire Asian boxing movement forward! "The editor-in-chief of boxing magazine gave Wang Hao a very high evaluation, and it was very pertinent.
There was a warm applause on the scene again.
"Its difficulty, I think, is even far more than that of a table tennis player from the United States who won the Olympic gold medal!" The editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine made a metaphor for the table tennis sport that China is good at, which also caused a good laugh on the scene. .
After the editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine introduced the major events and major competitions of this year's professional boxing, the scene entered the awards session, which will award the best boxing match of the year, the best boxer of the year, the best newcomer of the year, and the best coach of the year, etc. Multiple awards.
At this time, the famous HBO golden voice host Michael Buffal, who was sitting on the scene, stepped onto the stage, and he will serve as the presenter of the awards.
