Chapter 275 All Parties Prepare for War
| | | -> -> Hernandez, who ranks first in the 64kg class of the International Boxing Federation, is the king of the 64kg class. He already has two gold medals in the World Boxing Championships and one gold medal in the Olympic Games , the goal is to win the Olympic gold medal.
If Wang Hao wants to win the Atlanta Olympic Games, he must climb the mountain of Hernandez and become the new king.
Wang Hao clearly knows that he will face many challenges in this Olympics, but Hernandez is the biggest one, so when Wang Hao is preparing for the Olympics, he has been learning about Hernandez and has done a lot targeted training.
Through the information collected by Bian Fang, Wang Hao knew that Hernandez's speed and strength were top-notch in the 64kg class, and his skills were very comprehensive and skilled, especially in close combat. Hernandez The vast majority of knockouts are in close quarters, where uppercuts to the head and body are used to finish off opponents.
After knowing the main technical characteristics of Hernandez, Wang Hao also asked Bian Fang to find some Hernandez game videos for research.
Through these game videos, Wang Hao studied Hernandez's technical details, and improved his current technical weaknesses that might be caught by Hernandez.
Wang Hao's technical enhancement and improvement are mainly in two aspects. One is the close-quarters fighting technique and dodging technique. Wang Hao focused on practicing short-distance force and quick evasion, and fought against boxers with good tight-fitting skills from the national boxing team. Some actual combat.
At the same time, Wang Hao also strengthened his long-distance technique, mainly to increase the speed of the jab, as well as the accuracy and strength of the backhand.
Wang Hao's preparation is actually two levels, because Hernandez's melee combat skills are very strong, so naturally Wang Hao will not choose to melee with Hernandez first, the best way is to be able to Hernandez controls the long-distance, which is the reason why Wang Hao strengthened the long-distance technique in response to Hernandez's style.
The strengthening of close-range fighting skills is naturally also to deal with Hernandez's technical style, because although Wang Hao's goal is to control Hernandez at the periphery first, in three rounds of nine-minute games, there will always be There may be times when playing close range, and because Hernandez is also very fast, Wang Hao's strategy of controlling Hernandez at the periphery may not be effective.
Therefore, Wang Hao must also strengthen his close-range fighting skills to deal with the possibility of a close-range attack with Hernandez. Of course, because the time is too short, it is difficult for Wang Hao to improve his close-range skills to the level of fighting with Hernandez in a short time. Hernandez is at the same level, but at least he can be hit less by Hernandez when close combat occurs, and it is enough to be able to fight for a certain period of time.
Of course, Wang Hao did not let go of the Gopak dance and Lomachenko speed ball training. They have been doing it as a routine training. They have a great effect on improving Wang Hao's basic qualities such as his reaction and pace, and it is also Wang Hao's surrounding footwork that is his trump card. basic training.
In the half a year before the start of the Olympic Games, Wang Hao spent most of his time training at home. During the middle of a month, he went to Kiev, Ukraine to do some pre-match preparations under the guidance of Atoliy Lomachenko.
Atoli Lomachenko is also very familiar with Hernandez, who has ruled the 64kg class of the International Boxing Federation for a long time, and provided Wang Hao with a lot of advice and guidance, many of which Wang Hao did not think of, or Wang Hao thought of Yes, but Artoli Lomachenko gave better guidance on the details, which naturally benefited Wang Hao a lot.
During this time in Kiev, Wang Hao met the Klitschko brothers several times. On the one hand, he recounted the old days, and on the other hand, Wang Hao also learned that Wladimir Klitschko will represent Ukraine in the Atlanta Olympics. Competitions above the kilogram class.
This reminded Wang Hao of some information from his previous life. In his previous life, Wladimir Klitschko participated in the Atlanta Olympics and won a gold medal in the category of over 91 kilograms.
This made Wang Hao feel that this trip to the Atlanta Olympics in the United States is becoming less and less lonely. With Jiang Tao of the national boxing team and his old friend Wladimir Klitschko participating together, Wang Hao no matter whether it is training, competition or spare time Can find partners.
While Wang Hao was intensively preparing for the Olympic Games, the other boxers were not idle either. They also went all out to prepare for the Atlanta Olympic Games.
In the Olympic boxing competition, there are only 32 places for each level, so there are many outstanding boxers, especially boxers from boxing powerhouses, who may not all have the opportunity to participate in the Olympics. They need to go through cruel domestic or intercontinental trials. to have the opportunity to participate in the Olympics.
But there are also very few boxers who can directly participate in the Olympics without participating in the trials. There are two in the 64kg class. Wang Hao is one, because he was the gold medalist in the last World Championships, and the other is Cuba. King Hernandez, he was the last Olympic champion in the 64kg class, and he can also directly advance to the Atlanta Olympics without participating in the trials.
Cuba! Havana! Rafael Trejo Training Camp!
This is one of the holy places of boxing.
In Cuba, boxing has a broad mass base. There are many young people who like boxing. The echelon of talent training is also very complete. Coupled with the good management and talent mining mechanism of the Cuban Boxing Association, Cuban boxing masters gather. The number of medals is second only to the United States, which is not easy for a small country with a population of only a few million and not rich.
Both Cuban boxing and American professional boxing are the most representative and prosperous boxing sports, but the characteristics of the two are very different.
American professional boxing is full of business and money, while Cuban boxing is a pure land of boxing.
In Cuba, although the boxing training facilities here are backward, people’s participation is very high. Boxing is a national sport; although there are no luxurious stadiums, all Cuban citizens can watch boxing games for free; although boxers’ income is not high. High, but they are sincerely respected and loved in Cuba.
Just like the American writer Price said, "There are no luxury boxes, no exclusive parking spaces, no sponsors, no team members walking around, no tickets sold at the price of a car... in Cuba can appreciate very pure boxing. As a boxing fan, I think this is what boxing should look like. It used to be such a sport. Many boxers in Cuba participated in this sport because they love boxing , there are not many cases like this in other parts of the world."
At this time, in a low room in the Rafael Trejo training camp, a hale and hearty boxer was watching a boxing video on a black and white TV in front of him. This video was specially found by him. In the video is the final of the 64kg class of the last World Boxing Championships, between Chinese boxer Wang Hao and Bulgarian boxer Ichikov.
And the boxer who buried his body deeply in the sofa in front of the black and white TV and is carefully analyzing this boxing match is the leader of Cuban boxing in the 64kg class and the number one in the 64kg class of the AIBA today. Top boxer, Hernandez!
As a boxing champion who has won many world championships and Olympic Games, has more than 200 games in his career, only lost two games in the early stage, and is a dominant boxer in the 64kg class, Hernandez can achieve brilliant results There is also a reason.
He is skilled, thoughtful, trains hard, and never underestimates any opponent, so he has been able to sweep all boxers at the same level in the past six years without losing a single match.
Hernandez's preparations for the Olympics this time are as important and meticulous as all previous games, and Hernandez's preparations are also focused.
In last year's World Championships, Wang Hao, who won the championship, was the focus of Hernandez's preparations. The video Hernandez was watching was collected by the coach of the Cuban boxing team.
Hernandez watched the game video carefully, and he found that Wang Hao had comprehensive skills, fast speed, and extraordinary strength. Hernandez knew that he needed to seriously prepare for the match against Wang Hao in order to be able to When meeting Wang Hao in the Olympics, he won the competition smoothly.
Fortunately, the Cuban boxing team has two fights against Wang Hao in the 64kg class. Raditz can serve as a sparring partner for Hernandez.
Squeak!
At this time, the old wooden door that was originally closed in the room opened, and an old black man with a wrinkled forehead and wearing sportswear walked in.
Hernandez looked back at the person who came down, and said, "Coach Taka!"
The black old man in sportswear named Taka nodded, glanced at the TV and said, "I have watched this video five or six times. This Chinese boxer named Wang Hao is not simple. The threat to the Olympic Games is even greater than Kamenlev, Ichikov, and the United States' David Diaz, Jill Vagers, and Yudah.
Hernandez nodded, and said: "I can also see that he has some unique features compared to other fighters, and I am studying it!"
Taka nodded. Hernandez is his boxer. Taka knows Hernandez very well. Most people think that Hernandez can dominate the 64kg class for so long because of boxing. Talent is good, but Taka knows that talent is just a kind of icing on the cake for Hernandez. The reason why Hernandez has gone so far is the attitude of hard training and meticulous spirit. rely.
Taka believes that although Wang Hao is good, he is a brand new young opponent for Hernandez, but as long as Hernandez takes it seriously, coupled with Taka's own boxing experience, Wang Hao will have a better chance against Hernandez. Dez could not pose a substantial challenge.
Russia! Moscow!
As a boxing powerhouse that could keep pace with the United States and Cuba, the former Soviet Union also left two boxing legacies after its disintegration, one is Russian boxing and the other is Ukrainian boxing.
The boxers trained by these two will have the power to dominate one side in the future, whether in the field of amateur boxing or professional boxing.
In a boxing gym in Russia, former Soviet national youth boxing champion, former World Youth Boxing Championship runner-up, former world championship boxing runner-up, Kamen Lev is training hard in the boxing gym, his coach is drinking vodka while giving Kamen Lev directs technically where improvement is needed.
Kamenlev worked very hard to prepare for the Olympic Games. For more than half a year, he trained in the boxing gym for more than ten hours every day.
Kamenlev's goal is also very clear, to win the 64kg boxing gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics to make up for his lack of gold medals in the World Championships in international competitions and the Olympics.
Now Kamenlev relied on his good performance after entering the field of adult amateur boxing, and won the silver medal in the previous boxing world championship, and in the adult amateur boxing competition so far, he has only lost to Hernandez, Therefore, he can currently rank second in the 64kg class of the International Boxing Federation.
In order to prepare for the Olympics, Kamenlev even gave up participating in the last World Boxing Championships, that is, in the World Championships in which Kamenlev gave up participating, Wang Hao won the championship.
