Almighty Athlete Chapter 385: Substitution of opponents
"Charity match? You are really whimsical! But this is indeed a good idea. Boxing is indeed a good match for charity games. Using this as an opening ceremony is better than just setting up a stage cut. It's a lottery, which is more attractive. It's just that Chagaev is a heavyweight boxer anyway, and he has millions of dollars in playing fees even if he plays a game. If he makes a charity match, he won't make a penny. Maybe he will have to donate by his own pocket, would he still be willing to come?" He Yiming asked doubtfully.
"It's better if he doesn't come, I don't want to fight him yet!" Zhang Guan continued: "Ask Chagayev's opinion first, isn't he trying to see the butterfly step? You can't empty the white wolf!" Is it possible that when he makes a phone call, if his upper lip touches his lower lip, I will toss him with him? If you want to reap, you always have to pay!"
......
Chagayev walked out of the training room and saw the agent was waiting for him outside the door.
"Ruslan (Chagayev), the agent of Zhang Guan has already responded to me." An unhappy expression appeared on the agent's face.
"What's wrong? You look very unhappy, because they made excuses and refused?" Chagayev asked.
"No, they put forward additional conditions." The agent went on to say: "Zhang Guan has engaged in a charity fund, so he is preparing for a charity exhibition at the opening ceremony of the fund. This is the condition they put forward."
"Charity exhibition game, as long as the time is right, there should be no problem!" Chagayev said.
"Ruslan, why didn't you understand? Charity exhibition games, but there are no bonuses, no revenue sharing, and no appearance fees. This is not as good as ordinary commercial activities. You can't earn a penny. And you have to pay for the air tickets to China. Another point is that if the guests donate money, you can’t be able to do a good job! So if you play the charity game, we may have to lose tens of thousands of dollars!" Broker The man said.
Chagayev nodded and did not speak. The agent found that Chagayev did not respond, and then persuaded: "Ruslan, why do you have to find Zhang Guan to fight? In fact, I think it is completely unnecessary. The previous David Haye and There is private enmity between Zhang Guan, so there will be a fight, but you and him are innocent and hatred. What butterfly step, I think it is all media hype, it is just an exaggeration! Moreover, fight with Zhang Guan, for you Career ranking is not good, I strongly suggest that you give up this idea."
Chagayev smiled slightly, he had seen through the agent’s mind.
The broker certainly does not want Chagaev to play the charity game, because the income of the agent is linked to the income of the boxer. If the charity game is played, the boxer will not make money, and the agent will not get any money. , So the agent does not want Chagayev to waste time in the charity match.
I saw Chagaev shook his head and said, "You don't understand, I am a boxer. For any boxer, Ali is a existence that needs to be surpassed by a lifetime. I I think that in the current service, every heavyweight boxer hopes to compete with Ali, but unfortunately, I was not born in that era, I missed him! But today, since the butterfly step reappears, I certainly Can you miss it again!"
"But that may not be true." The agent went on to say: "I am referring to the butterfly step, that may not be the actual butterfly step. Although the surface looks very similar, there is also a great possibility that it is just the hype of the media. Or Zhang Guan’s own bragging, you know, the naval forces on the Internet can find a lot of them just for money, and the so-called experts like to release some amazing remarks to grab the crowd!"
"So I have to try it myself to find out." Chagayev's eyes are full of firmness: "Must try it myself!"
......
Chagayev agreed to the charity event, and Zhang Guan began to prepare for the opening ceremony of the "Hope Fund".
In the simple opening ceremony, the guests stood on the podium, cut a ribbon or removed a red silk, and then read a few pre-prepared speeches into the microphone. It was very boring, and the reporters wrote the same manuscript. , Nothing new.
But there are competitions that are different. Even performance-type competitions can attract more attention. Zhang Guan's every move has attracted much attention, and Chagayev is a heavyweight boxing champion, and he also has a certain reputation. The boxing match between them is not worrying about nobody watching.
The time for the charity event was finalized at the beginning of May, staggering the time of most competitions. At this time, whether it is the United States, or the European Football League, have ended their respective seasons. Those big-name football stars are preparing for the upcoming World Cup. At least in this period, the battle between Zhang Guan and Chagaev is the focus of domestic sports fans.
......
At the end of April, there is more than a week before the charity competition begins.
In the gym, Zhang Guan is sweating and sweating, and boxing champion Lewis is standing beside Zhang Guan and is instructing Zhang Guan to train.
"I will take a leave the day after tomorrow." Lewis smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "I'm going to shoot an advertisement."
"Take an ad?" Zhang Guan was slightly surprised. If it was in the UK, someone would look for Lewis to advertise when it was normal. But here is China. Someone even found Lewis to advertise. This made Zhang Guan feel that he was underestimated before Lewis' influence.
"Speaking of this ad, I also dipped your light. Your Chinese advertisers only asked me to take the ad when they heard that I was your coach." Lewis smiled happily.
After retired athletes, the commercial value will inevitably decrease greatly, so many athletes are reluctant to retire even though they are already injured, because after retirement, they will have much less income in economic terms. Although Lewis is a legendary boxing champion, after all, he has retired for many years. The commercial value accumulated before has been exhausted. In fact, he has not received an advertising contract for a long time.
And I received the advertising contract again today, which made Lewis overjoyed. Although it is not a very valuable big contract, it is always better to make more money than to do nothing.
At this moment, Zhuge Bo hurried in.
"Zhang Guan, tell you a very bad news, Chagayev's agent just called me to inform me that Chagayev may not be able to come to the charity tournament. He was injured!" Zhu Gebo said Say.
"Injured? Really fake? What a coincidence?" Zhang Guan asked.
"It is said that the kidney repair caused the left ankle and Achilles tendon to be strained, and the injury is not light. Chagayev has already flown to Germany for medical treatment. If it is conservatively estimated, the recovery time will be more than one month, so the charity match must be Can't participate anymore." Zhu Gebo continued.
Lewis next to immediately said, "Chagayev's ankle does have an old injury. In fact, he has been plagued by injuries in the last one or two years. I think if he doesn't have so many injuries, , Maybe it can really become the second'Tyson'. Instead of just bearing the title of'White Tyson' now."
"Another athlete destroyed by injury!" Zhang Guan sighed: "What about the charity event? The dates have been fixed, the tickets are all gone, and invitations have been sent out, and Many guests were invited to watch the battle. It is definitely impossible to cancel now. If Chagayev does not come, I will never be able to fight the air! I have to find someone to replace Chagayev!"
Zhang Guan said, suddenly looking at Lewis.
"Don't look at me, I don't play, I have been retired for many years. Besides, I can't beat you at all, beat you up? I don't do such ugly things." Lewis shook his head immediately.
Zhuge Bo coughed, and then said: "You don’t have to worry about replacing the candidate. Chagaev has already sent us another candidate, and in order to apologize to us, he also personally said that person, and that person Agree to replace Chagaev in the match."
"Who is it?" Zhang Guan and Lewis asked at the same time.
"Russian boxing champion Povitkin!" Zhuge Bo said.
Zhang Guan hasn’t responded yet. Who is this Povitkin, but Lewis frowned first: "It turns out to be him! That troublesome guy."
"Povitkin? I have heard of this name." Zhang Guan recalled and asked, "He is also a boxer?"
"Yes, he is now in the second position in the boxing champion list." Lewis said.
"The first is Krinchenko?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Yes, Krinchenko’s position is still unshakable, but Kritchenko’s title in the title of super boxer is estimated that after Krinchenko is promoted to super boxer The title will belong to this Povitkin!" Lewis disappeared and shook his head slightly: "I didn't expect it to be him, but this is a very difficult guy to deal with!"
Lewis waved his hand and motioned to Zhang Guan to get off the fitness equipment. At the same time, he said: "Povitkin was once a world champion in free fighting, a boxing champion over 91 kg in the Olympic Games, and a boxing champion over 91 kg in the World Championship. After Klitschko is promoted to super boxing champion, he will become a heavyweight boxing champion. This achievement is the best that no one has ever achieved before. From the perspective of boxing skills, Povitkin may not be Weaker than Krinchenko, sometimes I even feel that Povitkin’s boxing skills are better than Kritchenko’s."
Zhang Guan nodded, and a boxer from a free fight will definitely pay more attention to skills, not to mention Povitkin also participated in the Olympics and World Championships in boxing.
Olympic boxing is different from professional boxing. Olympic boxing is amateur boxing, which is said to be amateur boxing, but at the Olympic level, in fact, all the athletes are professional athletes, but only professional boxing. In contrast, the system and rules are different.
The most significant difference between amateur boxing and professional boxing is the different protective gear worn. The most obvious sign of a professional boxer game is shirtless, not wearing a helmet, only wearing shorts. The forms and colors of shorts are also various. The only protection for the boxer is the bite in his mouth. He can only rely on the boxer himself in the sport with the help of defensive technology and his ability to fight. In this way, the audience can feel the fierce confrontation more intuitively, and feel the most primitive and true impulse.
Amateur boxing pays more attention to the safety of boxers. In addition to dental trays, boxers should wear helmets and vests and other protective gear during the competition, and use a more primitive boxing glove than professional boxers. The lethality of this glove It is much lower than professional boxing gloves. It is precisely because these protective gears strengthen the protection of athletes, so that in amateur boxing, few fighters are knocked down on the ground and cannot climb up. Most amateur competitions are determined by points.
The presence of protective gear makes amateur boxing pay more attention to skill. In professional boxing, even if you are hit multiple times, as long as you punch your opponent, you can win the final victory. In amateur boxing, the strength of the fist cannot break through the protection of the protective gear, nor can it punch the opponent. Therefore, it can only be honest and competitive, as many effective hits as possible, and get more points to win. .
Because of the difference between amateur boxing and professional boxing, those boxers who have achieved good results in the Olympic Games are all representatives of the technical stream after moving to professional. A relatively old example is the boxing champion Ali, who represented the US team in the 1960 Olympic Games and won the Olympic championship. In the future, when people talk about Ali, the most respected is his superb boxing skills, not his heavy punches.
In addition, there are many technical champions who have also participated in the Olympic Games. Boxing champion Holyfield once participated in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and won a bronze medal; boxing champion Lewis once participated in the 1988 Seoul Olympics and won a gold medal; Klitschko Jr. participated in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and won a gold medal . These people are boxers who rely on technology to eat.
Tyson, a violent boxer who did not participate in the Olympics, was selected by the coach from the Boys Discipline Center of the Juvenile Detention Center. At the age of 19, he boarded professional boxing. Although Tyson’s boxing skills are also among the best in the world, he is most impressed by the super punch.
Povitkin was able to win the Olympics and the World Championships, and is undoubtedly a technical boxer. This was against David Haye who had previously fought against Zhang Guan, and even the injured Chagaya Husbands are different, and Povitkin is definitely more difficult to compare with. If the level of this kind of technical flow boxer reaches a certain level, it is almost impossible to be directly eliminated. Even if the scene is at a disadvantage, the technical flow boxer can continue to twelve rounds through defense and constant entanglement~ IndoMTL.com~ This can be seen in the war between Tyson and Holyfield.
And Povitkin is indeed such a person. In the future, Povitkin had a battle for hegemony with Klitschko Jr., which was also the first time Povitkin tasted defeat. In the game, Klitschko had an overwhelming advantage. People thought that Povitkin would be knocked down quickly, but in the end Povitkin still dragged a full twelve rounds, and finally Povitkin lost 15 points. On average, they only lose 1.25 points per round.
After learning about Povitkin’s situation, Zhang Guan’s expression also became dignified. By comparison, he hoped he was facing Chagayev.
Zhang Guan is not afraid of those physically strong boxers, because Zhang Guan’s physical fitness is also strong enough, Zhang Guan even feels that if he is facing the peak of Tyson, he does not admonish himself. But for the boxer of this technical flow, it makes Zhang Guan feel very troublesome. This is like a piece of gum stuck to jeans. Even if it takes a lot of effort, it may not be able to handle it cleanly.
"This Chagayev, I just hurt myself, but I found a difficult opponent!" Zhang Guan sighed involuntarily. (To be continued~^~)
