Chapter 302 Unexpected(1/2)
The so-called test is actually a sparring exercise.
Let Jin Xiangxing put on the protective gear, imitate Mayweather's movements, and have a real confrontation with Tang Hao.
The purpose is not to defeat Tang Hao, but to help him get familiar with it or adapt to Mayweather's playing style.
Zhuang Jiajie and Arum were not very interested in Tang Hao's visit to Jin Xiangxing. In fact, Jin Xiangxing was semi-practicing as Mayweather before, and Jin Xiangxing seemed to appear out of thin air to them. They even felt that this spider who was suddenly brought back was just a liar.
The test match began immediately under the gaze of two people.
At the beginning, Jin Xiangxing took the lead in attacking Tang Hao in reaction, shaking his body left and right, and constantly punching Tang Hao in a fast fist to defend.
"Is this Mayweather?" Zhuang Jiajie looked at him and shook his head. Although he had a very amateur understanding of boxing, he had some knowledge of Tang Hao after entering the professional boxing world. He naturally knew some of the boxing champion Mayweather. In fact, I also saw it in the performance match last night. What Mayweather is most well-known is not his offense, but his defensive tactic of lifting shoulders and shrinking his neck. Jin Xiangxing's attack speed is good in front of him, but it is definitely not Mayweather's playing style.
But at this time, Arum was watching and thinking.
Noting the expression of Arum beside him, Zhuang Jiajie couldn't help but say, "Bob, I think this Northern Dynasty person is really a fraud. We should not waste our time on this."
"Look at it again." Arum waved his hand and said.
Zhuang Jiajie wanted to say something, but when he saw that Arum had this attitude, he sighed and continued to look at the boxing ring.
Tang Hao was also surprised at this time. Jin Xiangxing used his footsteps and fast punches to attack from the beginning. Although he did not cause any substantial damage to him, it has to be said that he was in a passive situation at the beginning.
However, he obviously would not be suppressed for too long. Taking advantage of the gap between Jin Xiangxing's attack, he rushed to Jin Xiangxing's body, followed by a quick straight punch to attack Jin Xiangxing's head.
He basically didn't keep his strength in this punch because it was related to the training issues in the next two months, so he was not ruthless at all.
Tang Hao's fist wind was fierce, and after he gained 80% of his strength, his fist power had reached an amazing level.
In the flash of lightning, Jin Xiangxing retreated and leaned back his upper body, lifted his right shoulder to block his head, and at the same time his neck was shrinking down to protect his head behind his shoulder.
Lift your shoulders and shrink your neck!
Zhuang Jiajie was stunned for a moment.
A ray of light appeared in Arum's eyes.
The tilt back and lifting shoulders made Jin Xiangxing's head in an absolutely safe position. Tang Hao's punch hit Jin Xiangxing's arm, but due to the distance between the fist, it did not cause the imagined killing. Jin Xiangxing just took a step back and avoided Tang Hao's straight punch.
A punch failed and Tang Hao was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had been blocked so thoroughly.
After waiting for a while, he couldn't help laughing.
This is the sparring training he has been looking for.
He looked excited and continued to attack Jin Xiangxing.
Jin Xiangxing was calm in the face of Tang Hao's attack. He not only avoided most of the attacks by lifting his shoulders and tugging his neck, but also stood firmly even after being hit occasionally. He even seized the opportunity of defensive counterattacks twice to launch an attack on Tang Hao, forcing Tang Hao to slow down the frequency of the attack.
When Zhuang Jiajie saw this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that our previous judgments were wrong."
"Yes, he is the sparring trainer we are looking for." Arum nodded at this time and said, "I think if Tang is facing a really beautiful boy now, the latter will launch an attack as soon as possible, just like Jin did."
"Why?" Zhuang Jiajie asked curiously.
"It's very simple. He will think that Don is weaker than him. Many people may ignore it. The beautiful boy is actually an excellent offensive player. His ko ratio is not very high, but most kos are facing opponents who are weaker than themselves." Arum explained.
Zhuang Jiajie nodded thoughtfully.
After the test match, Jin Xiangxing was finally knocked down by Tang Hao with a punch.
After the latter successfully stood up, Tang Hao announced that the test match ended here, and Jin Xiangxing, the homeless man, officially became his professional sparring player.
On the contract, Tang Hao gave a weekly salary of 150,000, which was half the more than he promised before.
Of course, Zhuang Jiajie has no objection to this. After all, this sparring is only 2 months long. And the most important thing is that it is too difficult to find Tang Hao's sparring skills.
With full-time training, Tang Hao's targeted training was also carried out in an orderly manner.
Time flies, and more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye. There is only less than a week left before the battle of the century between Tang Hao and Mayweather.
Mayweather's personal estate.
A large pickup truck was parked on the original golf course, and Mayweather was standing next to the pickup truck for professional training.
At this time, someone would be shocked if he saw what Mayweather was doing, because he was not doing boxing training, but was holding an axe and chopping the wood that was thick with one person.
At this time, the world boxing champion turned into a lumberjack.
After more than an hour of "logging" work intermittently, Mayweather finally stopped, threw the axe to the ground, and then walked straight to a room outdoors.
There was air conditioning in the room, and you could see from the display screen that this was a liquid nitrogen device that reached minus one hundred and forty degrees below zero.
This is a cold temperature device for relieving muscle fatigue.
After someone came to help him wipe it, he followed him in.
About a few minutes later, he walked out of the device and waited for someone to put on his pajamas and jacket, and he walked straight to the soft chair and sat down.
"Sir, Chef Q is ready." When he sat down, someone next to him immediately said that Chef Q was the royal chef he specially invited, and he had to pay a salary of $50,000 a week...
"Well, let him start." Mayweather waved his finger, then waved to the person standing not far away.
A young man with a thrilling spirit followed, Mayweather's only assistant, Ryan Joseph.
"Floyd, you don't have to be so serious, right? Your opponent is just a newcomer." After Joseph came over, he glanced at the pile of cut wood and couldn't help but speak.
"Ryan, this shouldn't be what you said. You know, that guy Ebof was kosher because he was despised and he was kosted without even a single round." Mayweather said, grabbing the cut fruit net and giving it to the mouth.
"You are right, contempt for your opponent is irresponsible to yourself." Joseph nodded and said.
"You have the potential to be a philosopher," Mayweather said with a smile.
"You have been doing this strength training for a month. Do you still have to continue?" Joseph then pointed to the log that was cut into several sections.
"Continue." Mayweather nodded and said with a smile, "My opponent thought that if he found that guy Jin, he would have a chance to defeat me. He probably never thought that I would defeat him with an attack at the beginning."
"That guy has a strong punch, but he won't even have a chance to punch in front of your fast punch." Joseph followed.
"This is unexpected." Mayweather said with a smile.
"Well, but the training should be reasonable, although my reminder is actually nonsense." Joseph said with a smile.
"No, Ryan, this is a good suggestion, and in fact, I don't plan to continue practicing like this." Mayweather finished speaking and whistled directly.
With the whistle, five or six sexy beauties in charming clothes immediately walked out of the room beside him, and soon walked to Mayweather's side, and wrapped them up like snakes.
Mayweather reached out to touch her, and a burst of unrestrained laughter appeared in her mouth.
Joseph stepped down with tactfulness.
...
"Will Taylor Swift be a guest in this boxing match and sing the song at the opening?" Tang Hao had just finished training and was obviously stunned when he heard Zhuang Jiajie say it.
Although he didn't know much about entertainment, Taylor Swift still heard a little bit. This is the most popular female singer in the world for a long time in his previous life, and it is difficult not to know about it.
But the key to the problem is that this is obviously inappropriate, right?
He couldn't help looking at Zhuang Jiajie and said, "Taylor Swift's words seem to be a lyricist song?"
"A serious American country singer, although some songs in the later stage are live-action, to be honest, she is not suitable for such occasions." Zhuang Jiajie also looked bitter.
"Is this matter decided?" Tang Hao said, wiping the sweat on his forehead with a towel.
"Yes, Bob has no objection. He said he believes in Taylor. I think this guy is not an old pervert, right?"
"It's not good for you to say bad things in secret."
"I'm just kidding, but you see, we all think it's unreliable."
"Forget it, let them go. How to arrange it. You must know what to do with an old fritter like Bob." Tang Hao said as he threw the towel aside, then walked to the chair and sat down, holding Mayweather's game video and continued to watch it.
Zhuang Jiajie smashed his mouth and said nothing.
...
Time flies, a week passed quickly, and there was only the last day left before the official game. Tang Hao and Mayweather arrived in the stadium one day in advance to rehearse.
This place has been temporarily transformed into a boxing gym, with all the electronic equipment around it set up in place, and a total of eight live cameras broadcast the boxing rings from every corner, ensuring that no image in the game is missed.
Although there is still one time before the competition, the hundreds of staff arranged on the spot have already begun to get busy.
Tang Hao and Mayweather soon met inside the Staples Center.
"Hey, Tang, I'm glad to know you. Sorry, as an opponent, this seems to be our first time meeting." Mayweather gracefully and reached out to Tang Hao with a smile.
"For boxers, it's not too late." Tang Hao said symbolically and shook his hands.
"Haha, it seems that you, like Ryan, have the potential to become a philosopher." Mayweather said with a big laugh.
When Mayweather spoke, Joseph behind him glanced at Tang Hao, but there was no change in his expression, and he seemed to be a little disdainful of Tang Hao.
Tang Hao just smiled faintly.
"I didn't expect that you would let Jin be your sparring player. You know I said something at the beginning." Seeing Jin Xiangxing following Tang Hao, Mayweather said without hesitation.
When Jin Xiangxing heard this, he unconsciously pressed his fist.
"Then I'm sorry, you know I've just started boxing." When Mayweather talked about Jin Xiangxing, Tang Hao followed suit, "But to be honest, Jin is really an excellent sparring player. I don't think there is anything more suitable for me in this country than him."
"Is that true?"
"Isn't it?"
