Chapter 535 Press Conference

After two months of training in Trinidad's training camp in Texas, Wang Hao returned to Big Bear Mountain for a short break, and then flew to New York with the team to participate in the "York Boy" Campos Press conference before the official game.

The press conference was held two days before the game. This was also the last press conference for Wang Hao and Campas. When Wang Hao was training in Texas, he had already participated in two conferences arranged by the agents of both sides. .

After the last press conference before the game, the final weighing before the game will be carried out immediately. Wang Hao has a good control of his weight, because Wang Hao himself is a fighter who upgraded from the super lightweight, and now Wang Hao's natural weight is just now If you exceed the upper limit of the welterweight class, you can easily control your weight below the upper limit of the welterweight class as long as you control your diet a little before weighing.

The pre-match press conference was held in the press conference hall of Madison Square. The scene was also crowded. There were more than 2,000 media and senior boxing fans present, which was far beyond the capacity of the press conference hall in Madison Square. Most media professionals And boxing fans can only stand to participate in the show.

Wang Hao's team, Wang Hao himself, head coaches Sanchez and Paul, and agent William all attended the press conference.

The team of Wang Hao's opponent "York Boy" Campas, from boxers to coaches and agents, all participated in the press conference.

There are four people on each side of the teams from both sides, seated on the podium, ready to accept interviews by the host and the on-site media.

"The New York Times" won the first interview. Although Campas is a New York local boxer, and the nickname is "York Boy", because Wang Hao is more famous and influential, the news media on the scene are mainly more I want to use the precious opportunity to ask Wang Hao.

The reporter of The New York Times naturally did the same. The young and tall male reporter asked Wang Hao: "Mr. Wang Hao, I am very happy. You came to New York to compete again, and this is the first time you have been promoted to welterweight. One match, what do you want to say to the boxing fans in New York? What did you and your team think at the beginning? Choose "York Boy" Campas as your first welterweight game The opponent of the game?"

Wang Hao took the microphone and replied: "This is not the first time I have come to New York to play a professional game. I remember the year before last when I competed with Puerto Rico boxing champion Camacho for the vacant WBO super lightweight world champion title. I've been to New York before and played games in Madison Square Garden."

"As everyone knows, Madison Square Garden is a mecca for boxing. Many great boxing matches have been played here. I am honored to be here again to fight. And this time, I deeply felt the enthusiasm of New York boxing fans. I realized this when I got off the plane. I met a lot of enthusiastic boxing fans at the airport. Most of them were young people, including men and women. Including today's scene, I also saw a lot of very enthusiastic fans. , Lovely boxing fan."

Wang Hao continued: "I want to say, thank you, thank you for your love of me and boxing. I hope you can support me as always. The day after tomorrow, I will present you with a wonderful match in Madison Square Garden. You will see something different in this game, and I guarantee that the game will be very exciting."

"As for me and my team, why did they choose Campas? First of all, Campas is a very good boxer. He has won the champion gold belt twice in the welterweight and super welterweight. Once won the title of champion in the IBF welterweight and super welterweight, the professional record is very prominent, most of the competitions have been won, and the main victory is to knock down the opponent."

"Campas is a very good boxer with a remarkable record. This is the first reason we chose Campas, and then Campas and Fernando Vargas and Tetra. Trinidad has played games, although in these two games, Campas failed, losing the IBF super welterweight and IBF welterweight champion gold belt, but Campas performance It's remarkable, and these are the only two losses in Campas. This is the main reason why we chose Campas, strength and experience in the game. "Wang Hao went on to say why his team would choose Campas as The first opponent after upgrading himself.

After the reporter of The New York Times asked the first question, the young female reporter of CNN HBO was given a second opportunity to ask questions.

The question is still for Wang Hao. HBO's young female reporter smiled sweetly and said: “Hello! Mr. Wang Hao, I am very honored to have the opportunity to ask you questions. My question is that you have achieved very brilliant results in the super lightweight class. , Now you are upgraded to welterweight, this is a new level, there are many strong players, such as De La Hoya and Mosley, as well as Quatai, Forrester, they are all young top boxers, I haven't even failed. The welterweight competition is obviously much more fierce than the super lightweight. After your match with Fernando Vargas, will you return to the super lightweight? Or continue to play in the welterweight. Level competition?"

Wang Hao nodded and said: "Actually, I have answered this question many times on different occasions. After the match with Fernando Vargas this time, I will officially log in to the welterweight, although I will still play in a short time. Super lightweight defending, but I will gradually increase my weight, and soon will not return to the super lightweight competition, that is to say, after playing with Fernando Vargas, I will mainly play in the middle weight. And gradually abandon the super lightweight class. My goal is to unify the four major boxing organizations of the welterweight class just like unifying the super lightweight class."

Like the unified super lightweight, the four major boxing organizations that unified the welterweight class, Wang Hao's words aroused long-lasting applause from the live news media and senior boxing fans. They knew that Wang Hao's answer meant that Wang Hao was in the welterweight class. There are bound to be several exciting matches with the current welterweight boxing champions. This will be a match that boxing fans all over the world are looking forward to.

Following, reporters from Sky Sports in the UK and reporters from NHK TV in Japan also got the opportunity to ask questions.

The British Sky Sports reporter's question is which welterweight champion Wang Hao will challenge first in the future. In fact, Wang Hao has not thought about this question carefully. Wang Hao has also answered truthfully. The main goal this year is to win and Fernandovar. Gas's game, wait for the game to finish, and then consider the follow-up welterweight game.

Japan's NHK TV reporter mainly asked Wang Hao's strategy for the match against Campas, and Wang Hao also gave a simple answer.

Several reporters in a row asked Wang Hao questions, which made the "York Boys" Campas and the team of Campas, who think they are home in New York, feel a little embarrassed or even anxious.

They were on the rostrum, looking blankly at the reporters asking questions to Wang Hao. Sometimes they looked at each other with helplessness on their faces.

Campas is also a very famous boxer in the United States, especially in New York. It can be seen from his title "York Boy". He has played no less than five games in Madison Square Garden and also played in Madison Square Garden. Press conferences have been held in the press conference hall, but it is rare to be so unconcerned at press conferences like today, and completely reduced to an unconcerned supporting role.

Finally, after a reporter from a Canadian media asked Wang Hao's question, a reporter from a local secondary media in New York asked Campas the first question.

The reporter asked: "Mr. Campas, you played a tough match with Fernando Vargas last year and lost the precious IBF super welterweight champion gold belt, although Mr. Wang Hao is from super lightweight Upgraded, but everyone recognized that Mr. Wang Hao has the same strength as the middleweight four little kings, at least the strength of top welterweight boxers such as Quatai and Wright. The day after tomorrow's game, the odds of the bookmaker On the one hand, you also belong to the side that is obviously not favored. I want to ask if you have confidence in the game the day after tomorrow and what strategy you will adopt to win the game the day after tomorrow."

I finally asked myself questions, which made Campas and the head coach of Campas feel a lot more comfortable. After listening to the reporter's questions, Campas first said: "First of all, welcome Mr. Wang Hao to the New York game!"

This is actually a line prepared by Campas in advance. As a New York boxer, Campas regards himself as a home boxer, although his attention is obviously not as good as Wang Hao.

Campas continued: "I was also promoted from a low level before. I can tell you that the super lightweight and welterweight are completely different levels. Although Wang Hao is unstoppable at the super lightweight, he has four gold bars. The overlord of the belt, but in the welterweight class, Wang Hao still needs to prove himself."

"Sometimes the upgraded weight will give the fighters better state and body stiffness, but sometimes, the extra weight after the upgrade not only does not significantly improve the fighter's state, but reduces the reaction and movement speed. Many fighters have encountered it. In this situation, the state after the promotion is obviously not as good as the state at the previous level." The head coach of Campas continued to add.

"As for our game strategy with Wang Hao, we will play a lot of heavy punches in every round just like facing our previous opponents. It will be the time to test Wang Hao. We are not committed to winning the game with points... …" Campas and his head coach continued.

seems to cherish the opportunity to ask this question very much. Campas and his team talked a lot and stopped answering until the supporter reminded them.

Followed, the press conference continued, and after a reporter asked a few more questions, we entered the final weighing session.

Wang Hao and Campas took off their coats, and came to the center of the rostrum with only their underwear to weigh. Both of them passed the weighing at once.

Wang Hao is 65.9 kilograms, which is one catty lower than the upper welterweight weight limit, while Campas is 66.7 kilograms, which is just above the upper welterweight weight limit.

The match between the two will be officially staged the day after tomorrow.
