"Is this true? Today isn't April Fool's Day! Is Zhang Guan crazy for having twelve boxing matches in six days?"
"Look at the list of opponents. Rahman, Thomas, Chambers, Ibragimov... are all top boxers in the heavyweight boxing world. These people can probably kill a cow with one punch! Zhang Guanyao How is it possible to fight twelve such people in six days?"
"Zhang Guan's manager said it himself. Is this true? But how could a boxing match be so intense? Could it be that they weren't playing a boxing match? They were probably getting together to fight landlords."
"It's not a boxing match? That's unlikely! The ones you see are all top boxers. If they don't box, they will definitely not want to come."
The reporters around started talking one after another, and Zhuge Wenbo was obviously very satisfied with the result. He stretched out his hands to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said: "I think you must have questions about this schedule. Twelve games in six days, this It has never existed in boxing, but the schedule is indeed like this. As for the reason, it is mainly to save time. As you all know, Zhang Guanzai will participate in the Turkish Men's Basketball World Championships next, and also We are preparing for the Asian Games at the end of the year, so we cannot waste too much time and energy on the boxing challenge.”
"You mean to say that such a tight schedule is just to deal with challengers?" a reporter asked immediately.
"No, no, no, this is definitely not coping. Although the schedule is very intensive, it is arranged within Zhang Guan's ability. Zhang Guan is a professional athlete, and he will face every game seriously. I believe Zhang Guan's opponents, I will also devote myself seriously to the competition." Zhuge Wenbo said immediately.
"We know that boxing matches are very consuming. A match requires twelve rounds. Can Zhang Guan's body withstand such a high-intensity schedule? I think even if Zhang Guan doesn't want to cope with the match, his physical strength It may not be allowed, right?" Another reporter immediately asked.
"A boxing match will only last twelve rounds if it lasts the whole game. In fact, most matches cannot last twelve rounds. It is often the case that the opponent is knocked down in the first few rounds. If Zhang Guan fights quickly, I think there will be no problem in terms of physical strength." Zhuge Wenbo smiled and nodded at everyone, and then said: "Dear reporters, there is still some time before the game, if there are no accidents If so, there will be no changes to the schedule. We also hope that all journalists and friends can help us promote more, and we also welcome all journalists and friends to watch the game on site!"
…
USA.
"Tiger" Thompson sat in front of the computer, looking at the computer screen with a surprised look on his face. The phone in his hand showed the call status, and "Quick Man" Chambers was on the other end of the phone.
"I saw the schedule, six days, twelve games. Is Zhang Guan crazy? And all his opponents are top-notch players, and their level is no worse than you and me. Is this true?" Thompson said to his mobile phone explain.
"It's true." Chambers on the other end of the phone responded immediately: "Zhang Guan's agent team has admitted it, and I have also contacted several people, such as Banks, Adamek, Pitt, and Raman, I confirmed the match time with them and it is exactly as written on it.”
"What on earth is Zhang Guan going to do? This is a boxing match, not to mention two games a day, but also for six consecutive days. Does he think it's a sprint?" Thompson said to himself.
"Tony (Thompson), don't you think Zhang Guan is looking down on us by doing this?" Chambers said.
"Look down on us? What do you mean?" Thompson asked.
"He doesn't seem to pay attention to our challenge at all. Such an intensive schedule even makes me think that he has defeated us!" Chambers said.
"You mean, Zhang Guan thinks he can defeat us easily?" Thompson asked.
"Yes, I feel that way." Chambers continued: "Maybe he thinks he defeated David Haye, so he can easily beat us! Maybe he thinks we are relatively ordinary and have no ability at all. We need to take it seriously! This kind of schedule is clearly saying that he despises us!"
"Huh, despise us? The last person who dared to despise me stayed in the hospital for half a month!" Thompson snorted coldly: "If Zhang Guan really dares to despise me, I will let him have a taste of it!"
"Tony, you must be gentler. Don't forget that our game is on the same day. If you send him to the hospital, I will have no opponent in the night game!" Chambers He said half-jokingly.
"Then Zhang Guan has to survive the first day smoothly. Maybe Zhang Guan will be beaten to the hospital on the first day. By the way, who is Zhang Guan's opponent on the first day?" Thompson asked.
"Raman and Banks, haha, it looks like Zhang Guan really can't survive the first day!" Chambers continued: "I met 'The Rock' and 'Coach' on the first day. Tony, let's prepare a bunch of Send me flowers and go to the hospital to visit Zhang Guan!"
…
"Does Zhang Guan look down on me so much? He will fight me in the afternoon and Bacchus in the evening? Does he think that after fighting me, he will still have the energy to fight Banks?" Raman's eyes flickered. There was a hint of sternness.
"You look down on me so much! I, 'The Rock' Raman, have been in the boxing world for more than ten years, so I can't be looked down upon by you like this! Zhang Guan, just wait, I will never show mercy!"
…
"Hashim Rahman, nicknamed 'The Rock', is 189 centimeters tall and has a wingspan of 208 centimeters. Judging from his height ratio, he is definitely a natural boxer." Lewis continued: "Your first opponent But he is a tough guy, even I have lost to him before."
"You seem to have only lost to two people, right? One of them is him?" Zhang Guan asked.
Lewis nodded: "I have had one draw and two defeats in my career. The draw was against Holyfield and the two defeats, one was to McCall and the other was to Raman. Also at that time, Raman won the three gold belts of WBC, IBO and IBF from me, but seven months later, I took back my three gold belts from him. This guy’s weight His punches are very powerful, but his performance is unstable. When he performs well, he can beat top boxers, but when he performs poorly, he is at the level of a first-class boxer."
"This guy should be very resistant to beatings! Otherwise, he wouldn't have the nickname 'Rock'." Zhang Guan said.
"It is true that he is very resistant to beatings, but as he grows older, his physical strength is not as good as in previous years." Lewis continued: "On the first night, you have to deal with Jonathan Banks. Banks is a young man. , he should be only four or five years older than you, he has very comprehensive skills and was once Klitschko’s assistant coach!”
Zhang Guan nodded. He remembered Tyson Fury, whom he met before. That guy once served as Klitschko's sparring partner. The assistant coach is obviously several levels higher than the sparring partner, which at least shows that Banks is more powerful than Fury.

In June, the World Cup in South Africa attracted the attention of the whole world. In front of the World Cup, all other sports competitions of the same period eclipsed it.
One month of the World Cup has consumed too much of the fans' energy. For European audiences, the game time is still suitable for watching, but for Asian audiences, the World Cup has turned into a late-night battle, and they can always watch it every morning. I saw some depressed people walking on the street with dark circles under their eyes.
The end of the World Cup is a relief for many fans. At least they don't have to stay up late. Attention to other games has also begun to pick up with the end of the World Cup.
On July 14th, the Capital Boxing Gym was bustling with people. Although today was not a rest day, there were still a large number of spectators coming here to watch the game.
There were matches for six consecutive days, and there were two matches every day, which is unusual for a boxing gym. What's more, "The Rock" Rahman is appearing today. "The Rock" Rahman is also a well-known boxer and can attract many boxing fans to the venue.
In the stands, "Tiger" Thompson and "Quickman" Chambers were already sitting in the front row.
"I met with Raman yesterday. He was very dissatisfied with Zhang Guan. He felt that Zhang Guan was looking down on him, so he told me that he would give Zhang Guan some color today." Thompson said.
"Is Raman serious? It looks like we won't be able to play tomorrow's game. Maybe after this game is over, we will book a flight back to the United States tomorrow." Chambers said with a smile.
"Actually, I think Laman may not be able to win." Thompson continued: "I thought about it carefully yesterday. Zhang Guan dared to make such a schedule, saying that he was not prepared. Zhang Guan's coach is Lewis, and I think Lewis It’s impossible to just let Zhang Guan run wild, maybe he has already formulated a strategy for Zhang Guan!”
"Tactics? What tactics can be formulated?" Chambers asked in confusion.
"Maybe it's the fast break. Raman is already thirty-eight years old this year, and his physical strength and endurance are not as good as before. I guess Lewis will definitely take advantage of this." Thompson said.
While Thompson and Chambers were discussing, the lights in the arena dimmed and players began to enter.
…
Jonathan Banks got out of the car and hurried towards the venue.
"The capital of China is really congested. There are people and cars everywhere. It takes less than 20 minutes to reach such a short distance, which makes me even late! Now the game has started!"
Banks trotted into the venue. At this time, the lights in the venue had dimmed, and the spotlights on the roof were pointed at the boxing ring.
"Fortunately, the game has not started yet, and it is still the entry stage for the players. My seat is in the first row, area A, which should be over there." Banks walked through the aisle and walked towards the first row.
"Sorry, make way, please make way!" Banks passed through the crowd and found his seat. Before he could sit down, he saw two familiar faces, none other than Thompson and Chamber. Sri Lanka.
"Tony (Thompson)! Eddie (Chambers)!" Banks immediately greeted the two.
"Oh, Jonathan is here! The seat next to me happens to be empty, come over here and sit!" Chambers immediately waved to Banks.
"Boom!" The bell for the start of the game also rang at this moment.
There was an ear-splitting cry all around.
Banks was startled by the sudden sound. He trembled violently, then covered his ears and ran towards Chambers.
"Jonathan, when did you arrive in China?" Chambers then asked.
"I arrived the day before yesterday, and my game is in the evening. What about you? When did you arrive?" Banks asked.
"Tony and I came here together. We arrived yesterday morning. Our game is in the evening, but I guess Zhang Guan may not be able to last until then. Do you think so, Tony?" Chambers' words were not heard. Thompson's response.
Chambers couldn't help but turn his head to look at Thompson, only to find Thompson looking at the boxing ring in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Chambers also looked towards the boxing ring and happened to see Zhang Guanzheng raising his arms while Raman fell to the ground.
The referee waved his arms rhythmically and shouted loudly: "Eight, seven, six..."
"The referee is counting down! What's going on? Rahman was knocked down? Didn't it just start? I was talking to Banks just now. What happened on the field? I only spoke for ten seconds. Well, why did Raman fall to the ground?" Chambers looked confused.
…
Banks came to the seat and sat down. Chambers' voice sounded in his ears:
"Tony and I came here together. We arrived yesterday morning..."
The shouts around him were so loud that Banks struggled to hear Chambers' words clearly. Then he raised his head and looked towards the boxing ring, ready to enjoy the game.
However, at first glance, there are only two people standing in the boxing ring, a boxer and a referee.
"Why is there one person missing?" Banks looked carefully and found another person lying on the ground.
"It's Raman! Raman was knocked down? Why was he knocked down? I remember the bell just rang for the start of the game! That was when I sat down, Raman was knocked down? What happened? What happened? Who can tell me what happened?"
…
"Five, four, three..." The audience at the scene had begun to follow the referee's gestures and count down loudly.
The audience in the first row could see Raman's chest rising and falling, which meant that he was breathing, but he did not get up.
"Two! One!" The referee finally said the final number late. He walked up to Zhang Guan, grabbed Zhang Guan's arm, raised it high, and announced that Zhang Guan had won the final victory.
The celebratory lights in the arena were intertwined with the fireworks sprayed around the ring, and ribbons fell from the sky.
On the wall, the current time is displayed in the upper right corner of the scoreboard.
15:00
The game starts at 15:00.
The game ends at 15:00!
"The Rock" Raman was knocked down by Zhang Guan in the first minute of the game!
