"In three days and six matches, Zhang Guan won all of them, including top boxers like 'Tiger' Thompson, 'Fast Man' Chambers, 'The Rock' Rahman, and Ibragimov. Even so, no opponent can survive a round! Zhang Guan seems to be replicating the miracle of boxing champion Tyson. No matter who the opponent is, it only takes one round or even one attack for him to resolve the battle. ! Next, Zhang Guan will face the cruiserweight boxing champion Steven Cunningham this afternoon. I wonder if Cunningham can break the 'one round' curse? Let's wait and see!"
"American Warship" Steven Cunningham is Zhang Guan's next opponent. Unlike other challengers, Cunningham is not a heavyweight boxer, but a cruiserweight boxer. He once won the IBF cruiserweight gold belt in 2007 and successfully defended the title in December of the same year. The following year, he lost to Adamek due to a controversial point and lost the IBF cruiserweight championship belt. After Adamek entered the heavyweight class, Cunningham once again became the IBF cruiserweight champion.
It is not a huge disadvantage for a cruiserweight boxer to fight a heavyweight boxer. After all, the weight difference between the two is not very big. In many cases, the cruiserweight boxer will even win. And if it is below light heavyweight, the gap between heavyweight and heavyweight is a bit big, and there is no comparability at all levels.
Cunningham has also been working very hard to move towards the heavyweight class, and he will indeed successfully enter the heavyweight class in the future.
Cunningham's skills are very comprehensive, but compared with the heavyweights, the power of his fists is relatively average. This is also the main gap between the cruiserweights and the heavyweights. Many cruiserweight boxers have very good skills and very good footwork. Flexible, but the power of the fist is insufficient. In a heavyweight competition, it cannot cause effective damage. On the contrary, it is easily knocked down by a heavyweight punch.
Adamek, whom Zhang Guancheng defeated last night, was the man who took away the IBF title from Cunningham. Adamek moved up to the heavyweight class and could not survive one round. Cunningham was still Boxers who stay in the welterweight category are even less likely to be Zhang Guan's opponents.
The time on the wall changed from 15:00 to 15:01, and Cunningham also fell to the ground. Zhang Guan still maintained the undefeated golden status of defeating his opponent in one round. In fact, this game is just an appetizer for Zhang Guan. He will face a truly powerful opponent tonight.
Alexander Dimichenko, a Ukrainian boxer, nicknamed "Little Giant", is only 28 years old this year. He is a new star that has emerged in the heavyweight boxing world in recent years. He is 201 centimeters tall, with a wingspan of 211 centimeters. The talent is even better than Klitschko Jr., and he has excellent boxing talent. In addition, he is Ukrainian, so he is known as the successor of the Klitschko brothers.
Although Dimichenko's skills are not as delicate as Klitschko's, they have one thing in common, and that is heavy punches. Dimichenko is not that kind of technical boxer, but he has the kind of heavy punch that can kill with one blow. At this point, no opponent Zhang Guan has encountered before is as good as Dimichenko.
So during the game, Zhang Guan played more cautiously. Zhang Guan was still wary of Dimichenko's heavy punches, so he also had reservations in attacking. Moreover, Zhang Guan's luck was not very good that night, " The probability of triggering the "heavy hit" skill is relatively low. In the last attack of the first round, Zhang Guancai used the "heavy hit" effect to cause damage to Dimichenko.
Dimichenko's resistance to fighting was also very strong. He did not fall down, but leaned on the guardrail. He became the only boxer in four days to last until the second round.
However, Dimichenko only stopped in the second round. Dimichenko simply lay on the ground 48 seconds after the start of the second round.
Four days, eight wins, and eight KOs of opponents, only one person could persist until the second round. This sturdy record also attracted the attention of the world.
Many people originally thought that under this kind of schedule, Zhang Guan might not be able to survive the first day. However, inadvertently, Zhang Guan had defeated eight opponents, and the total time spent did not exceed 20 minutes.
The attention of the entire boxing world was attracted, and boxing fans were discussing whether the next four opponents would be able to stop Zhang Guan's progress.
Zhang Guan's ninth opponent is Abdulsalamov, a Russian who was the champion of the 2007 World Championships and the 2008 Olympic Games. This resume is very similar to Povetkin. In the short year since he entered the professional boxing world, Abdulsalamov has only played eight games in total, all of which were won by KO. Five of the games were knocked down in the first round. opponent. It can be said that Abdulsalamov is currently the most promising rookie in the boxing world.
He has excellent technique, punches fiercely, and his heavy punches can determine the outcome with one punch. Abdulsalamov’s future can be said to be limitless, but in fact he is a boxing champion full of tragedy. In the future, after Abdulsalamov won the WBC Americas gold belt, in a game He was injured, and a blood clot appeared in his brain. The craniotomy operation almost turned him into a vegetative state, and he even relied on extreme oxygen to maintain his life for a period of time.
But now, Abdulsalamov is extremely fierce. He even started a fight with Zhang Guan at the beginning of the game.
"Bang!" Zhang Guan hit Abdulsalamov's shoulder with a punch, and the heavy blow effect was triggered at the same time, but Zhang Guan did not continue to attack, and he even took the initiative to take a step back.
In the previous confrontation, Zhang Guan hit Abdulsalamov, which also triggered a heavy hit effect, but almost at the same time, Abdulsalamov also hit Zhang Guan.
If things go according to the past, Zhang Guan will definitely take advantage of Abdulsalamov's 1-second stun and try to KO him, but Abdulsalamov's heavy punch also caused a lot of damage to Zhang Guan. This is also This makes Zhang Guan unable to guarantee subsequent attacks.
"What a sharp punch! It hurt me so much!" Zhang Guan steadied his breathing and gave himself a buffer.
Abdulsalamov only entered the field of professional boxing after the 2008 Olympic Games, which means that he has only been boxing for more than a year, but Zhang Guan feels that Abdulsalamov is better than those before. The opponent is more difficult to deal with.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and this is the case with Abdulsalamov now.
Compared with those veteran boxers who have been famous for a long time, Abdulsalamov has no psychological burden and is more relaxed in his fighting style. For Abdulsalamov, losing means losing. Well-known boxers such as Thompson and Chambers have not survived the first round. It is not shameful for him to be knocked down by Zhang Guan in the first round.
This open mind allowed Abdulsalamov to survive until the second round, but when Zhang Guan's luck appeared, the effect of the "Heavy Attack" skill showed its power twice, and Abdulsalamov was eventually defeated. Got to KO.
