In the final of the World Junior Boxing Championships in Kiev, Ukraine a few years ago, Wang Hao KO Kamenlev to win the championship.

That was Wang Hao's first world championship. At that time, Kamenlev was still the national youth boxing champion of the former Soviet Union, with super strength.

Losing to Wang Hao can be said to be a pain point in Kamenlev's boxing career. After the end of that session of the World Youth Boxing Championships, Kamenlev also sank, but he quickly cheered up, regained confidence, and won the victory. Wang Hao became his target.

Since then, after years of hard training, Kamenlev's strength has also gradually improved, and he soon entered the field of adult boxing. After more than two years of struggle, he ranked in the 64 kg class of the International Boxing Federation. The second in the world, second only to the Cuban strongman Hernandez, it can be said that it is also very good.

Kamenlev participated in the previous boxing World Championships in Hamburg, where Wang Hao won the championship, and won the silver medal of that World Championships. He lost to Hernandez in the final.

In the last Hamburg World Championships, Kamenlev did not participate. The reason was naturally to prepare for the Atlanta Olympics.

Before the end of the World Championships in Hamburg, Kamenlev, who did not know Wang Hao's debut in adult boxing, set his goal on Hernandez, who surpassed the first person in the 64kg class.

But at that World Championships, Wang Hao made his debut. Wang Hao, who participated in the national competition for the first time, ranked 23rd in the world, KO opponents all the way, won the final World Championships championship, and ranked in the world after the game. Soared directly to the third place in the 64kg class, second only to Kamen Lev and Hernandez.

When Kamenlev saw Wang Hao's name on the latest ranking of the 64kg class of the International Boxing Federation, Kamenlev was very surprised.

Because Chinese boxers seldom show up in international boxing events, Kamenlev once thought that Wang Hao might have died after the World Youth Boxing Championships.

It wasn't until he saw Wang Hao's soaring world ranking and the information about the World Championship champion that Kamenlev knew that Wang Hao had never given up on the international arena. It was just because of his age that he had just made his debut. gold medals at the World Championships.

While this surprised Kamenlev, his emotions became complicated.

Wang Hao entered the international arena of adult boxing, allowing Kamenlev to see the hope of revenge, so he has two goals in the Atlanta Olympics, one is to defeat Hernandez to win the Olympic championship, and the other is to defeat Wang Hao.

If these two goals can be achieved, Kamenlev will also become the number one boxer in the 64kg class of the International Boxing Federation, and the new king of this level.

In fact, Kamenlev's performance in one Olympic Games was indeed very eye-catching. In the last round, he strongly ended the top ten Argentine boxers in the world.

The semi-final between Kamenlev and Wang Hao will be held the day after tomorrow. Kamenlev is determined to play at his best level, defeat Wang Hao strongly, and avenge his shame.

At the same time, Wang Hao, who returned to the training ground from the boxing match, also devoted himself to the preparations for the match with Kamenlev.

After watching Kamenlev's games in the past few days, Wang Hao found that although Kamenlev's game style has not changed and his technical system is still the same as before, Kamenlev's physical fitness has improved significantly compared to a few years ago. It is the physical hardness and punching strength that have improved significantly, and some technical details have also improved.

When Wang Hao was preparing for the match against Kamenlev,

Also thinking about how to play this game.

In fact, after Wang Hao defeated Kamenlev in the final of the World Youth Boxing Championship, Wang Hao went back and made some replays of the games, the purpose of which was to see if he had the opportunity to fight better in the competition. Some loopholes can be caught, and Wang Hao summed up some experience at that time.

But now, after observing Kamenlev's current technical characteristics, Wang Hao still feels that these experiences can be used, and there are some flaws in Kamenlev's technical system that can be grasped.

Just when Wang Hao was about to devote himself to training, Bian Fang found Wang Hao.

Wang Hao won the game and entered the semi-finals. As the head coach, Bian Fang was naturally in a good mood. He smiled and said, "I have some good news for you!"

"Good news?" Wang Hao wondered.

Bian Fang nodded and said: "This year's Olympic Games will select outstanding athletes. The athletes with the best performance and the most outstanding performance from each country will participate in the selection. The athletes who are recommended and selected will be honored by US President Clinton at the White House. Meet."

Clinton received at the White House!

Wang Hao thought to himself, isn't this equivalent to visiting the White House!

Bian Fang continued: "Our Chinese delegation can choose two athletes to participate in the selection. Of course, whether you can be selected in the end, you need to compete with outstanding athletes recommended by other countries. You have great hopes!"

When Bian Fang said that Wang Hao had great hopes, the smile on his face became even brighter. He continued: "There are many potential excellent athletes that our country can recommend, such as Deng Yaping and Liu Guoliang in the table tennis team, Xiong Ni in diving, Fu Mingxia , Zhan Xugang in weightlifting, Li Xiaoshuang in gymnastics, and Wang Junxia in long-distance running, but after the consideration of the team, if you can reach the final of the 64kg class, you can get a recommended place! Compete for another referral spot!"

Wang Hao was also a little surprised to hear that as long as he can enter the final and win at least one silver medal, he can get a recommendation spot.

After all, there are so many outstanding athletes in the Chinese delegation, and there are many gold medalists. In terms of performance alone, they are more likely to be recommended, but the delegation gave Wang Hao a spot because Wang Hao's sport is boxing.

Whether it is table tennis, diving, weightlifting or gymnastics, the Chinese team has no shortage of Olympic gold medals, but for boxing, a medal is very precious and a great breakthrough, not just for the Chinese team The breakthrough can be said to be the breakthrough of the yellow race.

Therefore, in the eyes of the delegation, even if Wang Hao wins a silver medal in boxing, it is more meaningful than a gold medal in an advantageous event, so Wang Hao was specially given a spot.

Of course, the condition is that Wang Hao must enter the finals, which can be regarded as a positive incentive for Wang Hao.

Hearing what Bian Fang said, Wang Hao was also very happy. It is a good thing to receive such attention from the regiment. Moreover, Wang Hao is indeed very interested in visiting the White House. If there is a chance, Wang Hao will definitely fight for it.

Now, Wang Hao has another solid reason to play the rest of the game well.

After Bian Fang finished telling the good news, Wang Hao also discussed with Bian Fang the next match against Kamenlev. Wang Hao communicated with Bian Fang what he thought were some loopholes in Kamenlev's technique.

Bian Fang gave Wang Hao some useful insights and suggestions, and asked Wang Hao to find out the best loophole to catch from several possible loopholes in Kamenlev's technology.

For more than a day before the start of the semi-finals, Wang Hao was on the training ground, working hard to familiarize himself with Kamenlev's loopholes, trying to practice the movements very well so that he can play very well in the game.

At the beginning of the match, Wang Hao and Kamenlev's punching rhythm was not fast, and they were mainly jabs. Obviously, both of them were testing each other.

For Kamenlev, after a few years, he met the boxer who had defeated him again. While he was full of shame, Kamenlev's punches were very cautious. He wanted to test Wang Hao's attitude before launching a fierce attack on Wang Hao.
