There are so many boxing organizations in the world, including more than 70 in the United States. In fact, many boxing organizations are no longer able to organize effective competitions. They only occasionally show up in some regional competitions and contribute a little bit when organizing competitions. , work with other powerful large organizations to jointly certify the so-called world king and show their presence.
The most famous among boxing organizations are undoubtedly the so-called four major professional boxing organizations: World Boxing Association WBA, World Boxing Organization WBO, World Boxing Council WBC, and International Boxing Federation IBF. In addition, there are more famous professional boxing organizations such as BU, IBA, WBB, IBO, IBC, IBU, PBO, WBN, GBU, UBO, etc. Among them, IBO and WBF are also very famous in terms of popularity. Many world-class boxing champions are also registered.
As the current chairman of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Surman has great success. The WBC has 162 member countries, which is simply a miniature United Nations. In countries where professional boxing is developed, Suleman will always receive the highest level of reception. For example, when he goes to South Africa, he will be received by the president; when he is in Mexico, he can have dinner with the president; even in the United States, he is a frequent visitor to the White House.
However, Suman looked like he had a huge headache today.
"Two years have passed so quickly. I didn't even realize it. That troublesome guy is about to come back." Suman said to himself, but his brows furrowed more and more.
Next to him, the assistant held a folder in his hand and said: "Mr. Chairman, it seems that there is no shortage of opponents for Kevin Taylor's comeback. We have asked many boxers, and almost all of them are very willing to be Kevin Taylor's comeback." -Tyler’s first opponent after his comeback, this is the list I selected.”
"Haha... It's just as I expected." Suman smiled slightly and said after taking the list: "Taylor was once the strongest heavyweight boxing champion in the world. If he comes back now, there will definitely be many boxing champions who can't wait to expose him. Beat him up!"
The assistant nodded: "If he was still the same Taylor as before, maybe no one would be willing to be his opponent. Now, everyone knows that he is just an old lion king, and his teeth and claws are no longer sharp. So those young lions can't wait to knock him down and prove their strength."
It is said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves in front are beaten to death on the beach. If those young professional boxers want to become famous quickly, the best way is to defeat a very famous boxer, preferably a boxing champion level. And under normal circumstances, how can a young player beat a boxing champion? Sports are all about strength. Those who can become boxing champions and wear that gold belt may not be 100% sure that they are the strongest at this level, but they are definitely the best.
Now Taylor is obviously a very suitable "front wave". His reputation is the biggest among the "front waves". If he can be beaten to death on the beach, even an unknown rookie will become famous in one battle.
What's more, Taylor, a boxer who once dominated the boxing world, has already had his technical characteristics thoroughly studied. Even ordinary people know that Taylor's fighting style relies heavily on explosive power, and he has already passed his peak. With his current With his age, his explosive power has seriously deteriorated, and he can no longer throw the ferocious combination punches he had when he was young.
It's not difficult for professional boxers to find a way to deal with Taylor. At that time, Taylor could defeat ten with one strength, and no one could beat him with three axes. Now, Taylor's "one strength" may only be 50%. This is simply too easy for a professional boxer to deal with. .
Therefore, boxers with some strength all hope to be Taylor's opponent in the first match of his comeback. Just imagine, in Taylor's first comeback match, defeat Taylor, defeat this former boxing ruler, one fight at a time. It's such an exciting thing to become famous and step on Taylor's way to the top.
And this is also where Surman has a headache, what kind of opponent to arrange for Kevin Taylor's first game back.
Surman looked at the list, but kept shaking his head, obviously not satisfied with the boxers on the list.
"No, none of these will work. Their strength is too weak." Suman denied it.
"As a rule, strong boxers will not be arranged for the first match after a boxer's comeback," the assistant said.
"This is indeed the convention, but it should not be applied to Taylor." Suleman folded his arms and thought for more than ten seconds, and then said: "How about Sanders? Can he accept the challenge?"
"Are you talking about 'Trench' Sanders? Isn't that too strong? He is the tenth-ranked boxer among the gold belt challengers, and his technical characteristics seem to be somewhat restrained by Kevin Taylor. Taylor Will you be unable to defeat him?" the assistant asked.
"That's why we let him go to meet Taylor's first game after his comeback, because none of us know how much skill Taylor still has left, and Sanders is a good touchstone." Surman He spoke.
The assistant looked at Sulman with a puzzled look, and Sulman went on to explain: "For us, Taylor is valuable because he was once a boxing champion and the ruler of the heavyweight boxing world. As an ordinary boxer, can I personally pay attention to him? If Taylor can't even defeat Sanders now, then it means that he no longer has the strength of a boxing champion. A former boxing champion with very ordinary strength cannot win at all. It’s not worth investing more resources. Just imagine, who would pay attention to a competition between rookies?”
"But Taylor should still have a lot of fans. From this point of view, he should still have some commercial value." The assistant said.
"In that match with Hayfield, Taylor bit someone's ear. This was almost the biggest scandal in the boxing world in decades! If you can't beat someone, bite someone's ear. If it were you, you would support it. Such a boxer?" Surman asked.
The assistant laughed dryly, then shook his head. Sulman continued: "Tyler was a troubled guy when he was young. You should still remember what he went to jail for, right? Rape! To be honest, if he was just an ordinary boxer, I might have Just remove him from the WBC!"
…
"Coach Li, one of my opponents after my comeback has already come out, and it's 'Trench' Sanders." Taylor's expression looked a little solemn.
"'Trench' Sanders? I've never heard of his name." Li Dai obviously doesn't know much about the boxing world. Apart from the world's top well-known boxing champions, Li Dai doesn't know anyone else. , I have never heard of Sanders. So Dai Li took out his cell phone and searched for information about "Trench" Sanders.
Taylor, who was on the opposite side, directly introduced Li Dai: "Sanders is 26 years old this year. He is a new star who has risen in the heavyweight boxing world in the past three years. When I was just suspended, he had just gained some fame. At present, he Ranked tenth among WBC belt challengers."
The gold belt is the gold medal in boxing. Only the person who holds the gold belt can be called the "boxing champion".
In a boxing organization, the strongest person in a certain level is naturally the owner of the gold belt, and the top fifteen people in the same level are the challengers of the gold belt. These fifteen people are ranked according to their points. The first place is the first challenger for the gold belt, the second place is the second challenger, and so on.
The top fifteen people ranked in terms of points. Although they are ranked in order, they are all qualified to challenge for the gold belt. For example, a boxer who happens to be fifteenth in points and becomes the fifteenth challenger is just qualified to challenge for the gold belt, but he does not have to defeat the previous fourteen boxers one by one. You don’t have to score points to reach first place, but you can directly challenge the boxing champion at that level. If he wins, then the gold belt will be his, and he will become the new boxing champion. The fourteen people who were originally ranked in front of him in points are still challengers.
In the same way, if you don't rank in the top fifteen in terms of points, you won't even be qualified to challenge for the gold belt.
The heavyweight category is always a popular category. In the world's top boxing organization like the WBC, if you can get your points into the top ten, you can definitely be regarded as the top player in this category in the world.
Dai Li still knew these basic knowledge of boxing. Although he had never heard of Sanders, after hearing the ranking of the tenth challenger, he knew that the opponent was a tough opponent.
"You seem to be very worried. Are you afraid that you will lose the game?" Li Dai continued to console him: "This Sanders is a boxer whose name I have never even heard of, and you are the boxing champion. I believe you." We will definitely win!”
"If it was ten years ago, I would have been able to defeat this guy in one round, but now, I think it will be difficult for me to win this game. I thought my opponent would be weaker in the first game after my comeback. , the difficulty will be lower, but I didn’t expect that the WBC arranged a very difficult opponent for me.” Taylor looked unconfident.
"Is this Sanders very powerful?" Dai Li asked.
"His nickname is 'trench'. You should know what a 'trench' is, right? During the war, soldiers on the defensive side hide in trenches and shoot at each other. The trenches can protect themselves and avoid bullets and shells. "Taylor said slowly.
"You mean, this Sanders is very good at defense." Li Dai asked immediately.
Taylor nodded: "Among heavyweights, there are very few boxers with a defensive style, because at heavyweight, the power of fists can no longer be resisted simply by defense. And Sanders's style of play is actually I prefer to defend and counterattack, looking for opportunities to inflict damage on my opponent during the end of a round of attack. Now, this is the type of opponent I am most afraid of. I would rather face a boxer who fights against me. I also don’t want to face a boxer like Sanders who plays defensive and counterattack, he is too restrained on me.”
"It seems that you can only fight quickly and try to knock him down at the beginning of the game." Li Dai said with a smile.
"I'm afraid it's difficult for me to do this now." Taylor shook his head helplessly: "Looking back now, I really think this comeback may have been a mistake. I can even imagine those who want to The young people who are coming up are definitely lining up to kick my ass! Then they will say that I defeated Kevin Taylor, which is enough for them to brag for a lifetime... "
Dai Li sighed slightly. Confrontational competitive sports are so cruel. Every newcomer is trying to step on the seniors to get the upper hand. Because of this, many boxing champions will not wait until they are old and can no longer compete before retiring. The vast majority of them will choose to leave the boxing ring with dignity when their form is declining, so as not to be used as a stepping stone by their juniors and lose their boxing career. The dignity of the boxing champion.
"If Taylor hadn't lost 500 million and was in debt, maybe he would have chosen to retire with dignity."
