Chapter 481 Midnight Boxing (7)
Hopkins recalled his professional boxing career so far, "Actually, I have lost twice in my career so far. In addition to the loss to Roy Jones Jr., there was another loss, and that loss was even worse. Early, it was the first game of my career."
"My opponent was a boxer named Mitchell. He was also playing the first professional game, but I lost that game. But from the first defeat to when I met Roy Jones Jr. in the middleweight. So far, I have played nearly 20 games, all of which have been victorious."
"But Roy Jones Jr. made me very passive in that game. He was so talented. I lost to him by a small margin." Hopkins continued.
"But I think it is nothing to lose to Roy Jones Jr., it is too difficult to not lose to Roy Jones Jr.!" said the host Katherman.
"The current Roy Jones Jr. is indeed in full swing, sweeping the entire light heavyweight class, but when I was playing the game, Roy Jones Jr. had just made his debut. He has not been so popular yet. The current Roy Jones Jr. has been deified. But it is true that Roy Jones Jr. has an amazing record when playing amateur games." Hopkins continued.
"I know that Roy Jones Jr. was once the winner of the National Golden Glove Award. He also won the light heavyweight silver medal at the Seoul Olympics." For boxing superstars like Roy Jones Jr., Katherman naturally knows a lot. , Continued, "Now little Roy Jones has gathered all the light heavyweight gold belts in one, and almost knocked down all the fighters who came to challenge him. He is indeed a little deified now, but you think today's boxing world is light weight Can anyone beat Roy Jones Jr.? I even heard that Roy Jones Jr. plans to play a game in the heavyweight class and win a heavyweight title."
Hearing Katherman's question, Hopkins was also very serious, saying: “There is indeed no boxer in the light heavyweight class that has the ability to beat Roy Jones Jr., but no boxer will continue to win. I believe I'm beating Roy Jr. The boxer of Jones will appear sooner or later. As for Roy Jones Jr. wants to challenge the heavyweight world champion and take a gold belt for the champion, I think if Jr. Roy Jones wants to be lighter. If he crosses the heavyweight class, he must be crazy if he competes in the heavyweight class. Any boxer in the heavyweight class can easily shred him. There is a reason why professional boxing has such a fine weight class."
Hearing that Hopkins emphasized that professional boxing is divided into levels, and that the heavyweight boxing champion can easily tear Roy Jones Jr. to pieces, Wang Hao also smiled in his heart.
Wang Hao knows that Hopkins has a clear understanding of how professional boxing is divided into different levels. Hopkins is actually a light heavyweight boxer, but when he started from the middleweight class, he was defeated by Ronaldinho. After Ejones was defeated, Hopkins did not upgrade anymore, staying in the middleweight with a light heavyweight physique.
Therefore, when Dela Hoya and Trinidad were promoted to middleweight and played against Hopkins in the later stage, they all suffered. Dela Hoya and Trinidad who rose from a small level were in physical confrontation. It's not even bigger than Hopkins.
But Hopkins' expectations of Roy Jones Jr. upgrading to the heavyweight game were indeed wrong. Wang Hao knew that a few years later, Roy Jones Jr., who was truly invincible in the light heavyweight class, did upgrade to the heavyweight game. , Also defeated a technical heavyweight boxing champion, the WBA heavyweight boxing champion Ruiz at the time, and Roy Jones Jr. was indeed Ruiz who surpassed the heavyweight challenge from the light heavyweight.
Although Roy Jones Jr., who won the WBA heavyweight title, immediately gave up the title and returned to the light heavyweight class, but Roy Jones Jr. has created boxing history in this fight. It is possible for a genius like Roy Jones Jr. to win such a heaven-defying victory.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao also felt that although he certainly didn't have the idea to get involved in the heavyweight, when he upgraded to the middleweight and defeated the fighters like Hopkins and Taylor and became the king of the middleweight, he could follow suit. Roy Jones Jr., from the middleweight to the super middleweight directly to the light heavyweight to challenge the Jr. Roy Jones.
And in Wang Hao's eyes, Roy Jones Jr. cannot be defeated, because Wang Hao, who has experienced the previous life, knows where the key to defeat Jr. Roy Jones is.
Upgraded to heavyweight, won the WBA heavyweight title, and returned to light heavyweight. Roy Jones is the most brilliant. At the peak of his career and popularity is also at the peak. At this time, almost all boxers are talking about Ronaldinho. Yi Jones's discoloration changed, and his feet were already weak before he stepped onto the ring to fight against Roy Jones Jr.
But Wang Hao knew that Roy Jones was actually the most vulnerable at this time. Excessive weight loss had a great impact on Roy Jones and became a boxer of another level. At this time, he is not afraid of Ronaldinho. I Jones, and a boxer who masters the technical characteristics of Roy Jones Jr., has a chance to beat Roy Jones Jr.
Anthony Tafel came into being in this way.
Anthony Tafel used to be the captain of the American boxing team at the Atlanta Olympics. His technical prowess is naturally very strong, but he is not very well-known and popular after entering professional boxing, but he defeated and knocked down Roy Jones Jr. in the peak period. , So that Anthony Tafel became famous.
There are still a few years before Roy Jones upgrades to challenge Ruiz and then gets knocked out of the ring by Anthony Tafel. Wang Hao knows that if he grasps the rhythm of the upgrade, this is a chance to shock boxing and create miracles in boxing. Probably it belongs to me.
As long as Wang Hao can grasp the opportunity to upgrade to challenge Roy Jones Jr., when Roy Jones Jr. has just returned from the heavyweight class, and if Anthony Tafel's play style is studied well, Wang Hao will have the opportunity to play at Roy Jones Jr. At his peak, he defeated Roy Jones Jr., and even knocked down Roy Jones Jr.
The HBO show continued. When the show talked about the unknown defeat of Hopkins, the host Katherman also focused on talking with Hopkins about how Hopkins came out of the failure and gained Today's results.
In the process, we can see the greatness of Hopkins. From a boxer who lost in the first professional game to a middleweight overlord, Hopkins' experience is very inspirational.
Immediately afterwards, the host chatted with David Reid and "Viper" Forrester about some of their unknown stories, and talked with David Reid in particular about his winning the only one of the US team in the Atlanta Olympics. The boxing gold medal and the story afterwards, and "Viper" Forrester talked mainly about some of his personal life.
Immediately afterwards, the host Katherman talked to Trinidad.
