Chapter 146: The Grouping of Experts

Wang Hao moved from the hotel arranged by the Bawang Boxing Club to the hotel where Huang Yueying lived, and started pre-competition training at the martial arts school opened by Huang Yueying's father and friend Chen Sheng.

Soon, this year's National Youth Boxing Championships will officially begin.

The national competition is also divided into group competitions and finals. Boxers who stand out from the group competitions are eligible to participate in the final national finals.

Taking the lightweight class as an example, there are only 32 boxers in the final finals, and they will be eliminated in pairs through a lottery until the final champion and runner-up are determined.

There are about 200 boxers from all over the country participating in the group stage. Among the two hundred boxers who can advance in the fierce group stage, the winners can enter the final round of 32 boxers.

Previously, the boxers that Wang Hao was familiar with in the National Youth Boxing Championship East China Trials, such as Song Haoqiang, Zhang Xianbing, Solanum Solanum, and Zhang Shuzheng, etc., needed to participate in the group stage to compete for the qualifications to enter the finals.

As for Wang Hao, because he was the first place in the selection competition in East China Province, he won the only qualification in East China Province to directly advance to the finals of the national competition. Wang Hao did not need to participate in the group stage, so he had more time for preparation and training.

And like Wang Hao, there are only a few boxers in the country who have won the title of directly advancing to the finals. There are last year's champions and runners-up, Jiao Wuxuan and Zhu Changsheng, as well as the first place in the provincial trials of several boxing strong provinces, such as Huo You Jiang, Miao Shaolong and others.

The fierce national group stage was played for five full days, and the boxers from East China Province who participated in the group stage performed differently.

The powerful Song Haoqiang naturally made it through the group stage and advanced to the national finals, while Zhang Xianbing, Solanum nigrum and Zhang Shuzheng all lost.

Zhang Xianbing won two group matches, and Solanum nigrum and Zhang Shuzheng only won one game. Neither of them reached the standard for qualifying for the finals. They bid farewell to this year's National Youth Boxing Championship ahead of schedule.

These group matches are of little significance to Wang Hao, because the fighters that Wang Hao mainly focuses on have basically advanced to the finals in advance, so Wang Hao has only been to the competition site twice during the group competition, and he is familiar with the competition venue. , without too much attention.

After the end of the group stage, there will be two days of rest, and the second day will be the draw and pre-match weighing for this year's finals.

At this time, Qiu Youyue and Qian Quanfang from the Taishan Boxing Club, and Liu Qianjun, the coach of the boxing team of Dongyue Sports School, had also arrived.

Among them, Liu Qianjun arrived early because Zhang Shuzheng had a competition.

The three of them plus Zhang Shuzheng who had just finished the game continued to stay on the field,

Responsible for the field affairs of Wang Hao's competition, which made Wang Hao have no worries, and he can devote himself to the competition and training with all his heart.

For the weighing and drawing of lots the day before the final round, Qiu Youyue and Qian Quanfang accompanied Wang Hao to the weighing site.

Wang Hao has always been very strict about his weight control, and this time the weighing is also a pass.

There are only three levels for youth boxing competitions, and the weight limit for lightweight is 58.97 kilograms.

Wang Hao's weight reached 58.5 kg this time, which is Wang Hao's current highest weight before the competition.

At the weighing site, Wang Hao saw many familiar faces, including Jiao Wuxuan, Zhu Changsheng, Song Haoqiang, Huo Youjiang, Miao Shaolong, etc., as well as Zheng Wuyi, a lightweight senior brother from Bawang Boxing Club, and the previous The youngest Qin Shicheng was knocked down by Wang Hao's two punches.

Obviously, both Zheng Wuyi and Qin Shicheng have advanced to the finals of the national competition.

After the weighing of all the 32 finalists, the on-site lottery began. According to the result of the lottery, the order of the competition was determined. The number Wang Hao drew was No. 16.

According to this lottery order, Wang Hao will first choose the boxer with the number 15 in the duel. After winning, he will compete with the winners of the 13th and 14th boxers for a place in the top eight.

The boxers from No. 1 to No. 16 are counted as the upper half, and boxers from No. 17 to No. 32 are counted as the lower half.

The only winner determined in the upper half will compete with the only winner in the lower half for this year's National Youth Boxing Championship.

After all the boxers had drawn their numbers, the staff at the venue quickly posted the lottery results and the schedule of the match on the huge display board.

The moment the schedule was hung up, all the fighters looked nervously at the information on the display board.

Wang Hao also quickly searched for his name and number. When he saw the number fifteen, which was his opponent in the first match, Wang Hao smiled.

The boxer who got number fifteen turned out to be Qin Shicheng.

Wang Hao had just knocked out Qin Shicheng in a flash at the exchange meeting organized by the Bawang Boxing Club a week ago. He did not expect to meet Qin Shicheng in the first round of the National Youth Boxing Championship today.

Wang Hao continued to look at the information on boxers from No. 9 to No. 14, his face became a little serious.

Among the six boxers from No. 9 to No. 14, there were actually two of the four favorites to win the championship, including the champion of the previous two National Youth Boxing Championships, Jiao Wuxuan.

Wang Hao regards Jiao Wuxuan as the strongest opponent in this year's National Youth Boxing Championship. The match with Jiaowuxuan is the most risky for Wang Hao. He did not expect to meet Jiaowuxuan before the top four. This is really an early match Enter the dragon.

Fortunately, Jiaowuxuan's number is ten, which means that at least Wang Hao and Jiaowuxuan will not meet in the round of 16. If both of them beat their opponents, they will meet in the quarterfinals.

In addition to Jiao Wuxuan, another popular boxer is Huo Youjiang, a boxer from Guangnan Province known as the "Foshan Spirit Monkey". Huo Youjiang is the strongest boxer in Guangnan Province and one of several champions this year. hot guy.

Huo Youjiang's wingspan is extremely long. He is 1.7 meters tall and has a wingspan of 1.85 meters. Any boxer who competes with him will be troubled by his distance control.

If he meets Huo Youjiang, it will not be an easy match for Wang Hao.

Moreover, Huo Youjiang's number is No. 13, that is to say, if Wang Hao beats Qin Shicheng in the first match and Huo Youjiang also beats his opponent, Wang Hao and Huo Youjiang will meet in the top 16.

It's going to be an intense contest between the first-time Nationals big dark horse and lightweight title favorite.

Wang Hao carefully looked at the other fighters from No. 9 to No. 16. Among them, there was a very strong fighter who was also known to Wang Hao.

It was Sima Cuo, the boxer who was known as the kicker.

At the level of the national competition, Sima Cuo is actually very strong. Even if it is not as good as Jiaowu Xuan and Zhu Changsheng, it is basically comparable to Huo Youjiang and Miao Shaolong.

Wang Hao met Sima Cuo at the exchange meeting organized by the Bawang Boxing Club before. Like Jiao Wuxuan, he had just joined the Bawang Boxing Club, and Zhang Shuzheng had introduced it to Wang Hao.

Although Sima Cuo is very strong, his reputation is not as good as that of Huo Youjiang and Miao Shaolong. The main reason is that he has a bad record of hitting too low in the competition, and his reputation is relatively bad. Everyone doesn't want to compete with him.

In Sima Cuo's boxing experience so far, there have been several cases of hitting too low, two of which directly disabled the opponent's ability to compete, and Sima Cuo was directly sentenced to lose due to violations.

The most famous one was in last year's National Youth Boxing Championships. Because he didn't have an advantage in the competition, Sima Cuo fought impatiently. He was tired of his old problem of irregular movements. opponent's crotch.

This punch directly made the opponent fall to the ground, and he couldn't even participate in the following competitions.

And Sima Cuo was directly sentenced to lose, and was punished by banning for half a year.

Since then, Sima Cuo's reputation has been bad. Everyone thinks that Sima Cuo is still very strong, but when the fight is not going well, he can't control his movements.

If this problem can be corrected, it is still very promising, but if there is another serious under-hitting in a major national competition, Sima Cuo's boxing career may also be abolished.

The number drawn by Sima Cuo is No. 12, that is to say, if both Sima Cuo and Jiao Wuxuan beat their first opponent, they will meet in the top sixteen. game between.

Wang Hao's quarter group, from No. 9 to No. 16, actually brought together last year's champion Jiao Wuxuan, this year's favorite Huo Youjiang, who is no less powerful than Huo Youjiang's strong opponent Sima Cuo, and this year's The big black horse Wang Hao, among the eight boxers, there are four top boxers.

It can be said that the quarter group that Wang Hao belongs to is the strongest group in the finals of this national competition, and it can be called the death group.

After Wang Hao read the information on all the boxers from No. 8 to No. 16, his expression was also very serious. It is really not easy to get out of this group. There are Xinjiang games in order to better prepare for the top sixteen games.

As for the Jiaowuxuan match, Wang Hao had already watched one at the exchange match organized by the Bawang Boxing Club.

As the champion of the National Youth Boxing Championship for two consecutive years, he has never been defeated in the national competition, and he has taught Wuxuan. It has been fully reflected in the exchange meeting challenge.

Zheng Wuyi, the number one boxer of the Bawang Boxing Club, is also super strong, and he was also the number one in the trials in Lianghu Province. However, he was completely defeated in the match with Jiaowuxuan, and was knocked down twice by Jiaowuxuan.

Through this game, Wang Hao fully understood the super strength of Jiao Wuxuan, and also thought about the coping strategies in the previous few days of the game, and made training preparations.

Therefore, compared to the intuitive understanding of Jiaowuxuan's technical characteristics, Wang Hao has only heard about Huo Youjiang's technical characteristics and has never actually seen them. This is not good for preparing for the game strategy.

Therefore, Wang Hao has decided to try to make a quick decision in the first match against Qin Shicheng, and then go to Huo Youjiang's first match, trying to know the enemy and himself.
