"Xiao Rong, how are you doing now?"
"Sister Xian, it's not bad, hee hee! He is very good to me and has a good temper."
On July 22, Wang Zuxian called Cheng Derong and felt relieved after hearing her words.
"Then continue to develop and don't come back yet."
When Wang Zuxian said this, he suddenly smiled and said: "You know, the news that you two are dating has been hyped by the media in Xiangcheng recently. It is estimated that some paparazzi from Xiangcheng will go to the United States to follow you.
Although you are in the United States, the Xiangcheng media has paid more attention to you and your exposure has been greater. Even if you don't negotiate with Zhou Quan in the future, you can definitely continue to develop when you come back, so don't worry. "
"Sister Xian, Zhou Quan is really well-known here. There are some reporters guarding outside the hotel every day." Cheng Derong said with a smile.
When she is with Zhou Quan, whenever she appears in public, reporters will come to interview and take photos. She also often accepts interviews from these media, and has often made headlines in the American media in the past half month.
"By the way, Sister Xian, do you want to come over and watch his boxing match? Many big Hollywood stars will be there that day." She added.
"Let me check the time. It's very busy here." Wang Zuxian said.
…
On the 29th, the WBC held a press conference. Zhou Quan and David Tua conducted physical examinations and weigh-ins, and then accepted media interviews.
Zhou Quan himself has a high reputation and influence, far surpassing David Tua, so he did not make any provocative behavior to attract attention during the ceremony.
But instead of provoking, David Tua did because Tua needed more attention.
When the two stood together for the media to take pictures, David Tua looked at Zhou Quan with contempt and said: "Boy, you should go back and play your sissy basketball. That is the sport that is suitable for you."
"Kacha kacha..." The media took photos frantically.
Zhou Quan smiled, stretched out his right fist, thumb pointed upward, and then turned around when David Tua laughed.
"asshole!"
David Tua's expression changed and he rushed forward, but was pulled away by several WBC staff members.
"idiot!"
Zhou Quan couldn't stand this level of provocation without changing his smile. He deeply despised this kind of thing with only muscles and no brain in his head.
…
July 30, Atlantic Forum Arena.
The auditorium is already full. The boxing ring is in the middle, surrounded by extra seats, which is also the best seat. The first three rows are now all filled with celebrities.
Counting Larry Johnson, Oakley, and Postman, Zhou Quan should have had four professional boxing matches, but there was only one real boxing match, which was the one with the Polish Bad Boy last year.
Neither the media nor the four major boxing organizations have counted his first three matches as a professional record, so this is Zhou Quan's second real professional boxing match.
The WBC obviously attaches great importance to Zhou Quan's second professional boxing match. This match is not a back-up match, but the main match. There will be three back-up matches before this.
Although the first boxing match with the Polish Bad Boy had good ratings, it did not attract any significant boxers to watch the match. That match was also a back-up match.
But this time it was different. There were many professional boxers attending the fight, and it even attracted several famous world heavyweight boxing champions, including Holyfield, Lewis, Frank Bruno, Herbie Hyde, and Michael Mueller.
"Evander, are you interested in Iron Fist?" the reporter asked.
"NO, he can't attract me for the time being. I'm just bored. There haven't been any good boxing matches recently." Holyfield shook his head and said.
"Who do you think has better dodge ability, Iron Fist or Michael Tyson?" the reporter asked again.
Holyfield pondered for a moment and said: "Iron Fist's dodge ability is really good, it should be on the same level."
"So where do you think Iron Fist needs to be stronger before it can attract you?" the reporter asked again.
"Strength, tonnage, heavy hitting ability, technology, actual combat experience, don't think he beat the Polish bad boy. In fact, the Polish guy is nothing at all and has no strength. And I even heard that he has no time to train at all, so I don't think crossing over was the right decision, he should just focus on playing his basketball, he crossed over," Holyfield said.
"Last question, who do you think has a better chance in this boxing match?" the reporter asked.
"I bought David Tua. I even think that even if David Tua stands still, Iron Fist cannot knock him down. In front of David Tua, he has no right to be called Iron Fist." Holyfield Said disdainfully.
"Lennox, why did you come to watch this game?" A reporter was also interviewing Lewis.
Lewis shook his head, flicking the hair on his head, and said with a smile: "The Pole can't hit the Iron Fist even once. I'm a little interested in his dodge ability."
"Who do you think has a better chance in this boxing match?" the reporter asked.
"It should be David Tua. His ability to withstand blows is too strong, and Iron Fist's ability to hit hard is too poor. Even if he occasionally hits a few punches, he will not be able to cause damage to Tua." Lewis said without hesitation.
Stallone was also interviewed. When asked who had a better chance in this game, he said: "I am more optimistic about Iron Fist."
"Is it because of personal relations?" the reporter asked.
Stallone smiled and shook his head: "That's just one reason, but more importantly, I hope he wins, which represents the success of a challenging spirit."
"Rocky?"
"Yes, we should have the courage to take on different challenges, and Tekken's crossover can give us courage."
Many NBA stars were also present, such as Jordan, Larry Johnson, Postman Karl Malone, Barkley, Oakley, Olajuwon, O'Neal, Joe Dumars, Isiah Thomas, Rodman, Schramm husband, Kendall Gill, Reggie Miller, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and more.
There are thirty or forty All-Stars. Because of Zhou Quan, this boxing match is as attractive to these NBA stars as a finals.
Jordan is naturally the star among stars. After winning the championship again, his attention and influence have skyrocketed. The media has been hyping that he will once again start a dynasty road to three consecutive championships.
"Michael, who are you betting on?" A group of reporters surrounded him.
"The Terminator," Jordan said.
"Can you reveal how much you bought?" the reporter asked.
"It's a little fun, just a few thousand dollars, just a kind of participation." Jordan said.
In fact, as the "God of Gambling", his gambling addiction was very, very big. This time, because no one from the media to those gambling cities was optimistic about Zhou Quan, he bet a full half million US dollars.
…
Cheng Derong and Wang Zuxian sat in the front row, the best seats.
"Tekken, are these two ladies your girlfriends?"
"Miss, are you Iron Fist's ex-girlfriend?"
When Zhou Quan saw them off, a large number of media reporters came over to take photos and interviews.
"I still enjoy the sense of vanity being interviewed by a bunch of American reporters, but the questions these guys ask are too uncomfortable."
After dealing with a wave of reporters, Wang Zuxian smiled helplessly.
"I heard from these reporters that he had several celebrity girlfriends in the past, from the year before last, last year, this year, and next year." Cheng Derong pouted.
Wang Zuxian said hurriedly: "Don't listen to the media. In fact, as far as I know, there are two of them. The first one is British and the second one is French. I heard that they were the ones who broke up, not Zhou Quan.
Xiao Rong, don't worry, he is not an irresponsible person. I am still very accurate in judging people. "
…
After three back-up games, it was already ten o'clock and the main game was about to begin.
In the ESPN commentary box, the commentators are Michael McGee and Lori Wilkins.
"The media and professional organizations are not optimistic about Iron Fist. Lori, do you think Iron Fist has a chance?" McGee asked.
"His main weakness is that he doesn't hit hard enough. If he can gain weight to 100 kilograms, I believe his strength will skyrocket. Now, I am not very optimistic about him." Wilkins said.
McGee nodded and said: "Me too. More importantly, David Tua's ability to resist fighting is really strong, even stronger than Tyson. Iron Fist's iron fist may not be able to hit him or break his defense."
Wilkins took a deep breath, and then said: "Then we look forward to Iron Fist creating a crossover miracle."
It was almost time, ten ten, and Zhou Quan stood at the exit, waiting to appear.
The other outlet, is David Tua.
At 10:12, the lights in the entire venue went out, and then two bright lampposts lit up, shining on an exit.
The change in lighting immediately heightened the atmosphere of the scene, and countless boxing fans looked towards the exit.
At this time, the passionate voice of the host Javier Green rang out: "Now let us welcome the black boxer, the bronze medalist in the 91kg and above category at the 1992 Olympics, the New Zealander known as the terminator and Little Tyson, David…Tua!”
"Pa bang bang..."
There was warm applause and lots of cheers.
David Tua appeared, wearing a black cloak. His short body looked unusually thick. He looked like he was strong, extremely strong.
The host's voice continued: "So far, David Tua's professional record is 11 wins, 7 KOs, and a complete victory record. He has an iron-like body and a dinosaur-like neck. He has never been defeated by an opponent. Knocked down."
Watching his opponent climb onto the ring, that strong body made Zhou Quan feel a strong sense of excitement. He couldn't wait to knock down that body.
It was almost Zhou Quan's turn to appear. Many celebrities in the first three rows stood up. Some people who were close to Zhou Quan walked to both sides of the exit aisle, waiting for his appearance.
"Miss Cheng, Miss Wang, you just stand here."
Entrusted by Zhou Quan, Philip had been taking care of Cheng Derong and Wang Zuxian. At this time, he also took the two to the exit and arranged them at the front, opposite Roberts.
The two of them were a little nervous when they saw Hollywood stars on both sides behind them, as well as some very tall black and white men, who should be NBA stars.
At this time, the host's voice sounded again, this time more passionately: "Now, let us welcome the red boxer, the iron fist killer from UCLA, the superstar from the NBA, the MVP, AMVP, FMVP winner, a powerful The cross-border person is Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou...Zhou Quan from China!"
"Oh ho!"
Huge shouts began to sweep through the Atlantic Forum Arena like a hurricane.
Cheng Derong and Wang Zuxian were startled. The buzzing shouts made them lose all hearing. They looked around nervously. The dark scene made them feel a huge pressure, as if they were physically In the mouth of a monster.
Zhou Quan appeared wearing a red cloak. The first one on the left was Cheng Derong. He looked at the girl and smiled. Seeing that the girl didn't know what to do, he smiled and stretched out his left fist.
Cheng Derong immediately stretched out his hand nervously and touched Zhou Quan, and then Zhou Quan and Wang Zuxian also fist-bumped. When he turned around, Roberts, who was standing in the first place on the right, directly gave him a warm hug and a face-to-face salute.
"ah?"
Cheng Derong regretted it a little.
"Be conservative! Xiaorong, this is your boyfriend. Be more enthusiastic next time. Everything will be in your bowl. Don't be robbed."
Wang Zuxian shouted loudly.
"Um."
Cheng Derong blushed and nodded.
Zhou Quan came under the ring and took off his cloak.
"This thing belongs to me."
O'Neal grabbed it, put it on his body and said with a smile, "Do I look like Superman?"
"It doesn't look like a cloak on you, but more like a shawl." The assassin complained.
"A shawl is a shawl."
O'Neill hugged Zhou Quan and had no intention of returning it to Zhou Quan.
"Iron Fist, come up."
"Thanks!"
Rodman and Reggie Miller climbed into the ring and pressed the ropes on Zhou Quan, who then climbed onto the ring.
Sitting at the bottom corner of the red square, coach Hans warned: "Iron Fist, the only way you can defeat him is to use your dodge ability to avoid his heavy blows, and then use your precise strikes to continuously kill him. Dealing cumulative damage and eventually knocking him down.
Remember, you should not seek the opportunity to KO with one blow. His resistance is too strong, so you must be patient. If one hit fails, just hit twice, ten hits, or a hundred hits. You can do it, I believe in you.
In addition, you must be careful. He only has one chance to beat you, KO you directly, otherwise he will lose the points, so be careful of his heavy blows, don't risk attacking, and definitely don't give him a chance to get close, just pull away. Hit him like flying a kite. "
These words were not said for the first time, they were just repeated reminders to strengthen his impression, because once the game starts, no matter how loud the coach shouts in the audience, it will actually have no effect. The boxer who is in a fighting state will never listen again. What tactics.
"clang!"
At 10:20, the bell rang.
Under the boxing ring, Cheng Derong and Wang Zuxian felt extremely nervous when they heard the bell. It was their first time watching a boxing match.
"Box!"
The stage referee shouted loudly, and the first round officially began.
"Bang bang!"
David Tua slapped his head with both fists, signaling Zhou Quan to hit him.
"Oh, little Tyson challenged Iron Fist at the beginning."
In the ESPN commentary box, McGee said excitedly.
"Hit him!"
Stallone and others shouted.
"Bang!"
Zhou Quan was not polite, slipped his left foot forward, and instantly stabbed David Tua in the face with his left fist, blasting a jab.
"Bang!"
David Tua did not defend or dodge at all. He just lowered his head and received the punch with his forehead. Then he grinned ferociously at Zhou Quan and provoked him again. He repeatedly slapped his head with both fists to signal Zhou Quan. Hit him.
Zhou Quan smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hands, released the hug, and motioned for David Tua to come up.
"Oh, Iron Fist answers provocation with provocation."
In the ESPN commentary box, Wilkins roared excitedly.
"Shet!"
David Tua bit his mouth guard and cursed secretly, half-armed, and stepped forward to attack.
This half-armed state leaves the middle door half open, but allows both fists to strike faster.
But his mobility was poor. Just as he was about to grab the ball, Zhou Quan's attack had already begun.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Another jab hit David Tua's face, and it was a double combo of front and back hands. In the next moment, Zhou Quan's right fist, which was a heavy back hand punch, hit the big one again. Wei Tua's face.
"pretty!"
Mikey yelled excitedly.
"fine."
Wilkins immediately yelled.
"Ouch!"
David Tua's head was hit hard and he didn't even shake. Instead, he roared at Zhou Quan like a wild beast, with an extremely powerful momentum.
"Well done, your ability to withstand blows is too strong! Terminator, fuck him!" Jordan roared excitedly.
