Chapter 226: Wang Hao’s Ranking in the International Boxing Federation and Prospects for the World Championships
| | | -> -> Bian Fang is the head coach of the national boxing team, in charge of the men's and women's teams of the national boxing team, and is under the control of Director Cheng of the Fighting Sports Center of the State General Administration of Sports.
Bian Fang is in his early forties, but he already has some white hair on his head, and the one-inch hairstyle looks very energetic. He is only 1.7 meters tall, but he is very strong.
Bian Fang used to be the main member of the national men's boxing team. He used to be a top domestic boxer with a weight of 69 kg. He also participated in some international competitions. Also after retiring, he successfully stayed in the national boxing team as an assistant coach.
Later, through personal efforts, he successfully changed from an assistant coach to a coach, and then became the head coach of the women's national boxing team. Finally, after the previous head coach of the national boxing team retired, Bian Fang was promoted to the vacant head coach position.
Wang Hao is the only internationally competitive boxer of the national boxing team, and the only outstanding boxer who can be called a star boxer. He is highly valued by Director Cheng of the Fighting Sports Center. Bian Fang naturally respects and supports Wang Hao very much.
Although as the head coach, Bian Fang does not treat Wang Hao as a subordinate, but gets along with him on a level close to that of a colleague, more like a relationship between a brother and a colleague. Whenever Wang Hao has any needs, Bian Fang will try his best to meet them, and Bian Fang Fang would not interfere with Wang Hao's training. Even if he felt that there was something wrong with Wang Hao's training, Bian Fang always communicated with Wang Hao with an attitude of discussion, and never imposed his will on Wang Hao.
Bian Fang knew very well that Wang Hao, as the only boxer here with the title of world champion, was the best boxer since the establishment of the national boxing team, even though he was only a junior world champion.
The most important thing is that Wang Hao won the world youth championship before entering the national boxing team, which means that Wang Hao achieved the world championship result basically relying on his own efforts.
So although Wang Hao is now a boxer of the national boxing team, and the national boxing team has the responsibility to provide Wang Hao with resources and training, but Bian Fang knows that if Wang Hao wants to continue to achieve results, the national boxing team should focus on guaranteeing Wang Hao's training resources, but In terms of specific training techniques, there should be as little interference as possible.
Therefore, every time Wang Hao went to Ukraine for training camps in the past two years, the training expenses were paid by the national boxing team. In terms of specific training, if Wang Hao has no special needs, the coaches of the national boxing team such as Bian Fang will not easily provide them according to their own will. guide.
Wang Hao and Bian Fang sat down on a bench beside the ring. Seeing that Bian Fang and Wang Hao had something to say, the other boxers left while discussing and reminiscing about Wang Hao's wonderful knockouts just now.
Sitting on the bench, Bian Fang smiled and told Wang Hao how he felt after watching Wang Hao's game: "I watched the second half of your second game and the third game just now. Your strength and confrontation ability are comparable to those of Wang Hao. Years ago, he made significant progress, and today's knockdown is shocking!"
Wang Hao nodded with a smile. He also had a clear feeling about the improvement of his own strength.
"Now let's talk about this year's World Boxing Championships!" Bian Fang began to talk about the key things to find Wang Hao.
"This year's World Boxing Championships will be held in Hamburg, Germany next month!" Bian Fang said slowly, "Today I went to the bureau to have a meeting, and the focus is on communicating and discussing this matter."
Because the national boxing team has very few achievements in the world, it is not taken seriously. There are not many opportunities to participate in the meeting of the bureau before the international competition.
The reason why Bian Fang had this opportunity to go this time was mainly because Wang Hao participated in this World Boxing Championship.
Wang Hao listened quietly to Bian Fang's narration. This year's World Boxing Championships, Wang Hao has long been preparing. This is Wang Hao's first international competition since he started adult amateur boxing, and the first competition with the title of world champion. Well, Wang Hao had known for a long time that this year's competition would be held in Hamburg, but the organizers hadn't set a specific date, and this time it was officially confirmed.
"For this time, there are only 32 boxers in each level, that is, the top 32 boxers in the National Boxing Federation can participate in this World Boxing Championship. Unless there are boxers in front because of various If you don’t participate because of the reason, only the fighters outside the thirty-two will have a chance to participate.”
Speaking of this, Bian Fang said: "You can compete this time, naturally you have already been ranked in the AIBA. You may not know it yet. Let me tell you about your current ranking."
Hearing his ranking in the International Boxing Federation, Wang Hao also immediately became interested.
Because Wang Hao was not old enough before, and he was playing youth competitions, so in the ranking of the world's amateur boxers by the International Boxing Federation, Wang Hao's name has never been mentioned.
Until the last few months, Wang Hao has reached the standard for participating in adult competitions, and has achieved some domestic competition results. In addition to the previous youth boxing stage, especially the youth boxing championship results, as a reference for ranking, Wang Hao Only then did he rank among the boxers in the 64kg class of the International Boxing Federation.
Wang Hao is still very concerned about his ranking in the AIBA.
"Your ranking is very good!" Bian Fang said, "This is the first time I have seen a boxer who has just entered the ranking of an adult boxer who has just entered the International Boxing Federation and has never participated in an adult boxer international competition. His score is so high!"
Bian Fang continued: "You are currently ranked 23rd among the world's 64kg boxers of the International Boxing Federation! You are at this level, and the Chinese boxer ranks the highest. Among all Asian boxers, there is only one Japanese boxer. Fuji Kosuke II, ranked nineteenth, a little ahead of you! And your amateur boxing record in the International Boxing Federation is currently 108 victories and zero defeats!"
"If I remember correctly, not only have you won all the amateur boxing matches you have participated in, but you should have won all the matches so far by KO!" Bian Fang suddenly remembered something, his eyes It is also full of shock.
Wang Hao nodded. The AIBA's count of its own matches includes all the international matches in the youth boxer stage, as well as some important domestic matches, otherwise there would not be so many matches.
Naturally, Wang Hao clearly remembered that all his victories in the more than one hundred games were won by KO, but he was quite surprised that Bian Fang could understand so clearly. Wang Hao knew that Bian Fang must be the same Careful.
For this ranking, Wang Hao is basically acceptable. After all, he has entered adult amateur boxing for a very short time. Judging from Wang Hao's current adult amateur boxing results, this ranking is actually quite high. The big factor is that Wang Hao once won the youth boxing championship.
Wang Hao knows that this World Boxing Championship is an opportunity to prove his strength in adult boxing and greatly improve the ranking of the International Boxing Federation. The gold medal in the World Boxing Championship is second only to the gold medal in the Olympic Games. This year's World Boxing Championships 64kg champion.
"Among the boxers participating in this year's World Boxing Championships, who are the strongest?" Wang Hao also asked.
"There are a few of them!" Bian Fang had already got to know the main fighters. He nodded and said, "The boxer who participated in the Hamburg World Boxing Championships is currently ranked highest in the world by the International Boxing Federation. Bulgarian Ichikov, the silver medalist in the kilogram class, his main technical features are fierce punches, fast speed, and tricky angles!"
"Bulgarian Ichikov always likes to wear red shorts and clothes in boxing matches, and he punches like a poisonous snake, fast and fierce, so people gave him a nickname, 'Red Cobra'!"
Bian Fang continued: "He ranks third among boxers in the 64kg class of the International Boxing Federation!"
Ranked third!
To be able to win the Olympic silver medal in boxing, Wang Hao knew that Bulgarian "Red Cobra" Ichikov must be a very strong boxer, but Wang Hao did not expect that he was only ranked third in the International Boxing Federation, which made Wang Hao have no idea about the first and second rankings. boxer, a great interest took place.
Bian Fang continued to talk about the strongest boxers in this competition and the highest-ranked boxers in the current AIBA.
"In this World Championships, there is actually an Olympic champion and a World Championship champion, but they are all promoted from the 60kg class, and have not played important games in the 64kg class! So in the The ranking of the National Boxing Federation is still a bit behind Bulgaria's "Red Cobra" Ichikov!"
"Among the two, the first is the Russian Nagaev, the 60kg champion in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. He has a comprehensive technical system and a tough style of play. He was given the nickname 'Hammerhead'! "
Russian "Hammerhead" Nagaev!
Wang Hao also kept the name of this Olympic champion in his heart. Obviously, Nagayev will also be one of Wang Hao's strongest opponents in this World Boxing Championship.
"The other person is the champion of the 60kg class in the last World Championships, the Cuban boxer 'Havana Ruffian' Raditz." Bian Fang continued, "He has very good skills, and his speed and reaction are very fast!"
Hearing Raditz's name, Wang Hao also smiled.
At the World Youth Boxing Championships more than two years ago, Wang Hao and Raditz met in the semi-finals. At that time, Wang Hao relied on left-handed play and KO Raditz to win.
At that time, Wang Hao knew that Raditz was a difficult boxer, and Raditz was the favorite to win the World Youth Boxing Championships. He just met Wang Hao ahead of time, so he could only get a tie for third place.
Raditz is a little older than Wang Hao, and he should have started boxing for adults after the World Youth Boxing Championships. Judging from the results, Wang Hao knows that Raditz has obviously improved a lot and can win the World Championships The champion means that Raditz is at least a top boxer in the 60kg class, and he must be one of the best boxers in the 64kg class.
Wang Hao knows that although he has won Raditz once, if he is not fully prepared, he may not be able to win Raditz every time, and what progress Raditz has made in the past two years, Wang Hao still does not know, Wang Hao Take Raditz as one of his biggest opponents in this World Junior Boxing Championships.
Bian Fang continued, there was another main opponent that Wang Hao needed to pay special attention to.
"The last high-ranking competitor who needs special attention is the American boxer 'White Dynamite' Jill Vagers! He has comprehensive skills and punches fiercely. He was once the American Golden Gloves champion in his youth! The last world adult boxing Tournament Jill Varjes narrowly beat the subsequent champion to take the bronze medal!"
Hearing the name of Jill Varjes, Wang Hao knew that in this World Boxing Championships, he faced many new opponents, but there were also many old opponents. They were all the most dominant boxers in the world when they were teenagers.
In the World Youth Boxing Championship when Wang Hao won the championship, Jill Vadjes was also one of the four favorites to win the championship, but he met the Soviet national youth champion Kamenlev who won the runner-up ahead of time, which resulted in a failure to win a very good result. name.
Even so, Wang Hao knows that Jill Vajs is very strong. After all, he has the qualifications of the American Golden Gloves champion. The opportunities he may encounter in international competitions are not so good, so he participated in major competitions. He has not been able to win the championship, which is why he is not as good as Raditz.
Wang Hao did not fight Jill Vadjes in previous matches, but in the World Youth Boxing Championship where Wang Hao won the championship, Wang Hao once knocked down Jill Vadjes' younger brother Carl Vadjes in the group stage. Vajs.
Bian Fang introduced the main boxers who he considered the greatest threat to Wang Hao, and Wang Hao also took down their information.
Wang Hao knows that there are many adult amateur boxers in the world, but many of them will retire in their thirties, or enter professional boxing at a young age, or some will retire early due to injuries.
So good young fighters like Jill Varjes and Raditz are just some of the best adult fighters in the world, and part of the reason why they can quickly achieve results in national competitions after entering adult amateur boxing.
After introducing the main boxers, Bian Fang took out a folded A4 white paper from his pocket.
After unpacking it and handing it to Wang Hao, Bian Fang said: "This is the list of 64kg boxers who are currently ranked ahead of you in the world! I guess you will be very interested. Take a look!"
Wang Hao took the list and first looked at the top two boxers.
