Wang Hao from China and Ichikov from Bulgaria will Compete on the same stage to compete for the gold medal in the 64kg class of this year's World Championships.
Ichikov ranks third in the world in the 64kg class of the International Boxing Federation, and is the highest-ranked boxer in the 64kg class of this World Boxing Championships. It is entirely reasonable for him to enter the final.
Wang Hao, on the other hand, ranked 23rd in the International Boxing Federation, and made great strides all the way. He successively KO'ed the Japanese boxer Kosuke Fuji, who was much higher than himself, the Nigerian boxer Borg, and Cuba, who was ranked in the top ten of the International Boxing Federation. Boxer Raditz and American boxer Jill Vagers reached the final and became the biggest dark horse of this tournament.
In particular, Wang Hao KO'd all the strong opponents he met, which is very shocking, because after all, for boxing matches, there is still a big difference between winning by points and winning by KO.
Today's two semi-finals in the 64kg class can be said to be very exciting. While the audience had a good time, they also had infinite reverie about the next final between Wang Hao and Ichikov.
"Both fights were won by KO! Wang Hao and Ichikov seem to be both powerful boxers!" An audience member said, "I don't know who will win in the end when the two meet!"
"I am also looking forward to it. The Chinese boxer Wang Hao can be said to have made a sudden breakthrough in this World Championships and made great strides all the way. But Ichikov is also the strongest boxer participating in this tournament, especially he also KO'd the world's fifth-ranked boxer today. Nagayev, there is a lot of suspense about whether Wang Hao can continue his dark horse momentum!" another audience member said.
"In my opinion! Both are powerful boxers with a high knockdown rate, but it seems that Ichikov is stronger and has more experience in the game, while Wang Hao seems to be faster. And the technique seems to be more delicate!" Another audience member said, "The suspense between the two in the final is very high, and whoever wins is possible, but because both of them have a high knockdown rate, I feel that the final decision of the game is based on points. The chances are slim!"
With all kinds of predictions and ideas, the audience is looking forward to the final between Wang Hao and Ichikov two days later.
At the end of the semi-final match, Atoli Lomachenko and Wang Hao discussed and formulated the game strategy.
Atoli Lomachenko's strategy for Wang Hao is to move forward and backward more, so that Wang Hao can use his speed advantage to hit more straight punches in the middle.
Atoli Lomachenko said: "Ichikov has a lot of strength, and he punches well, with great strength and fast speed. Nagayev's loss today is because he got too many shots from Ichikov. Fist."
"For Ichikov's punching style, you must pay attention during the game. When you are within Ichikov's attack distance, you must move forward and backward, and try not to move left and right." Atoli Lomachenko continued.
Wang Hao nodded. He could understand what Atoli Lomachenko meant. Ichkov punched well. If Wang Hao was still within the range of Ichkov’s attack and often moved left and right, he would be easily caught by Ichkov. Husband's swinging fist hit him.
Ichikov's punching power is very powerful,
If he was hit by another attack, the consequences would be disastrous.
Wang Hao thought of Joshua, the dominant young boxing champion of the British heavyweight class in the previous life. Although Joshua was tall and big, he was very strong in close combat, especially the mid-range and short-range uppercuts were very threatening.
Many heavyweight boxers are tall, have long wingspan, and fight at close range. They are not good at it. In many important matches, Joshua used his excellent technique at medium and short range to knock down his opponent and win the game. .
For example, in the match between Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko at that time, Joshua used an uppercut from close range, and finally KOed Wladimir Klitschko.
But when Joshua's technique was used in the match against the Mexican chubby Ruiz, something went wrong.
Ruiz has short wingspan, low height, and is good at swinging punches. When Joshua was still using his best medium and short-range punches, he was finally hit by Ruiz in the mid-to-short range left and right movements. In the end, because of this heavy blow, he lost the game.
Although Joshua won the game back in the second round, the first loss in his career was inevitable.
Wang Hao listened to the game strategy that Attoly Lomachenko formulated for himself, and combined with Joshua's classic loss to think about it, Wang Hao was able to understand Attoly Lomachenko's intentions very well.
For opponents who are good at swinging punches, especially fast swinging opponents, try not to move left and right within his attack range, but should leave the opponent's attack range as soon as possible.
Atoli Lomachenko continued: "Although Nagayev mainly moves back and forth today and punches more straight punches, due to the speed, Ichikov's swinging punches are very fast, while Nagayev's punches are fast. Gayev's movement speed was a bit off, so Nagayev still got a lot of punches from Ichkov."
"Fortunately, your movement speed is much faster than that of Nagayev, so I judge that it is a feasible strategy to use straight punches that mainly move back and forth, and pay attention to movement speed and timing at the same time. .”
Attoly Lomachenko went on.
"Mainly straight punches in the middle, and close-range uppercuts can also be used when appropriate. Ichikov's wingspan is about the same as yours, and Ichikov's swinging punches cannot exert their power at close range. "
Wang Hao nodded, thinking that the game strategy that Atoliy Lomachenko formulated for himself was very appropriate, and it was based on experience.
After discussing some details, Wang Hao and Atoli Lomachenko decided on the game strategy.
In the match between Wang Hao and Ichikov, he will mainly hit long-distance straight punches and close-distance uppercuts, and at the same time move mainly forward and backward. The main purpose is to limit the performance of Ichikov's best swing punches. .
In the two days before the start of the game, according to the formulated game strategy, Wang Hao started intensive pre-match adaptive training in the training ground of the Chinese national team.
The head coach of the national team, Bian Fang, also found a boxer from a European national team that had a good relationship with the Chinese team. He had a similar wingspan to Wang Hao and was also good at swinging punches. He fought Wang Hao for several rounds. Let Wang Hao better adapt to Ichikov's style of play.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the final day of the World Championships. Today, all levels of the World Championships will determine the final champion.
The competitive sports center in Hamburg was also crowded with people today. The scene was packed with nearly 10,000 spectators, and almost no seats were left.
Wang Hao came to the scene early, and after successfully passing the weighing, he came to the waiting room to do pre-match preparations. Although this was the first time for Wang Hao to participate in the world-class final of an adult boxing competition, Wang Hao was not emotionally. Not nervous, seems very calm.
Two acquaintances also came to Wang Hao's waiting room before the start of the game. They were unusually tall and strong, and they were the second of Brother Klitschko.
A week ago, Wang Hao went to Berlin to watch Vitaly Klitschko's WBO World Championship Challenge. After the match, Vitali Klitschko expressed that he would come to Hamburg to watch Wang Hao's match.
Today is the final, and the Klitschko brothers have already bought tickets in advance and will arrive at the venue early in the morning.
Wang Hao was very happy to see the arrival of the Klitschko brothers. He hugged and exchanged pleasantries with Vitali Klitschko and Vladimir Klitschko successively.
Artoli Lomachenko was also very happy to see the arrival of Klitschko's brother. He hugged the two brothers one after another, and explained to Vitali Klitschko that he could not go to Berlin to watch his first world show The reason for the Boxing Challenge.
Vitali Klitschko invited Attoly Lomachenko to watch the WBO World Boxing Championship, but because of Attoly Lomachenko's business, he couldn't make the trip. This is Vitali Klitschko becoming After the WBO world champion, the two met for the first time, and Artoli Lomachenko naturally had to make a special explanation.
The four chatted happily for a while, talking and laughing, and then the Klitschko brothers left for the time being.
Vitaly Klitschko said to Wang Hao: "We won't take up any more of your time, we will go to the scene first, and we will celebrate together after your game is over."
Soon, it was the final of the 64kg class. In the introduction of the on-site host, Wang Hao and Ichikov appeared one after another.
Wang Hao was wearing yellow shorts and a vest today, while Ichikov was still wearing his favorite red shorts and vest, and red gloves.
Wang Hao and Ichikov maintained a high knockdown rate in this World Championships, especially Wang Hao, who won all the games by KO, and is the biggest dark horse in this tournament.

"It's finally time for the match between Wang Hao and Ichikov. This is the match that is most likely to be knocked out today!" said an audience who had been looking forward to the start of the match between the two.
"Who do you think will win, Wang Hao or Ichikov?" Some spectators also asked friends who were watching boxing together.
"I think Ichikov will win. After all, he has more experience in the game. At the age of 29, he is at the best age in terms of body, technology and experience!" Someone replied.
"I think Wang Hao has a better chance of winning!" Another person replied, "This Wang Hao from China has already won many incredible victories in this competition. I think Wang Hao can still win this competition." win!"
Amidst the expectations and discussions of the audience, Wang Hao and Ichikov stepped onto the ring successively.
Atoli Lomachenko watched Wang Hao take the stage with all his attention from the ring. Today is the final of the World Boxing Championship. Whether he can win this victory is very important to Wang Hao.
Although Atoli Lomachenko was very focused on waiting for the start of the game, he performed very calmly without many emotional fluctuations, showing the stability of a boxing master.
In contrast, Bian Fang and Sun Zeyong seemed a little excited. After all, today is the final. If Wang Hao can win a gold medal in the World Championships, it will be of great significance to the Chinese national boxing team. Bian Fang and Sun Zeyong are looking forward to and nervous emotions are revealed.
The head coach of the Bulgarian national team also watched Ichikov take the stage under the ring, with a slightly serious face.
The head coach of the Bulgarian international team regards Ichikov's game today as the most difficult game of this World Championships, which is much more difficult than the last game between the team and Nagayev.
Because, through such a long period of competition, the head coach of the Bulgarian national team has already seen that Wang Hao is a complete boxing genius, with excellent skills, speed, reaction and strength, and almost no shortcomings.
Especially the head coach of the Bulgarian national team, saw Atoli Lomachenko in Wang Hao's coaching team at the scene of the last game, which made the head coach of the Bulgarian national team feel a bit stunned, and at the same time understood why Wang Hao Will become the biggest dark horse of this tournament, why Wang Hao, as a native Chinese boxer, can have world-class skills.
The two days of game preparation also made the head coach of the Bulgarian national team rack their brains and prepared several sets of game strategies for Ichikov. The head coach of the Bulgarian national team hopes that these game strategies will work and allow Ichikov Cove successfully won today's game.
The game is about to start!
The experienced on-field referee from Germany began to repeat the game precautions to Wang Hao and Ichikov.

The competition bell rang, and the final of the 64kg class of the World Championships, the competition between Wang Hao and Bulgarian boxer Ichikov officially started!
The Nuoda training ground of the Hamburg Athletic Center quickly fell silent, and all the spectators at the scene focused their attention on the central boxing ring, watching the match that had already started.
At the beginning of the match, both Wang Hao and Ichikov played more cautiously, and the two first tested with jabs.
Boom!
Wang Hao threw a jab and tried to hit Ichikov on the forehead. The latter slipped slightly to avoid Wang Hao's jab, and then immediately countered Wang Hao with a jab.
Whoosh!
Wang Hao's reaction was also very fast, and he dodged Ichikov's jab with an immediate backlash.
The two punched a few jabs back and forth, and Wang Hao found that although Ichikov was slightly shorter than himself, he was a long-armed boxer, and his wingspan was almost as long as his own.
These back and forth jabs gave Wang Hao a certain feeling for Ichikov's wingspan and rhythm.
Whoosh!
Wang Hao spotted a gap in the middle of Ichikov, moved forward quickly, and hit Ichikov in the face with a straight forehand.
Whoosh!
