Friends familiar with boxing know that the American "bronze bomber" Deonte Wilder beat the then WBC heavyweight boxing champion Bermane Stevenne in January 2015 to become the new boxing champion, and then successfully defended the title in 10 consecutive games. It was a remarkable achievement, as Wilder defended the dignity of the American boxer.
But there is a little-known history, and you may not know that these achievements of Wilder are actually inseparable from a benefactor, which can also be said to be his lifelong benefactor, and this person is the former indisputable heavyweight overlord Lennox Lewis.
It was 2013, when Wild was still on his way to the top, and he was getting closer to the boxing throne step by step. One night, Wild meets the boxing champion Lewis, who ends up loving Talent and teaches Wild how to punch in the parking lot.
As you know, Wilder was the bronze medalist at the 2008 Olympics, but despite this, his skills are not superb, and he can only be said to be good. Wilder's jab was not on the table in 2013. It just so happens that Lewis is the master of stinging boxing, invincible in the heavyweight boxing world, and his excellent stinging is indispensable.
Lewis said to Wilder, "Look at my hand here, it's from here, I didn't take my hand back, I had to be straight and fast." ”
Lewis moved his foot as he punched him to the left. Lewis also told Wilder: "Raise your hand and the jab punch is going to come out of different positions." Lewis later said he was impressed by Wilder's progress.
We see Lewis wearing a wide shirt directing Wilder in boxing. Wilder studied hard.
Wilder repeated Lewis's movements until Lewis called out to stop. Lewis was satisfied. Lewis then raised Wilder's hand a few inches and told him, "Fight out of here." I've helped you get closer to your goal. I'll help you correct some mistakes, I actually have a lot to show you, but today that's enough. ”
Of course, Wilder was grateful to Lewis. Wilder added: "I know how to be a heavyweight champion and I'm a guy who works hard to achieve my goals. ”
Sure enough, in January 2015, Wilder beat Stevenne to win the coveted heavyweight title.
Wilder had defended the heavyweight title 10 times in a row before being defeated by Tyson Fury, which is already a remarkable achievement.
Of course, Wilder eventually lost to Fury. We cannot blame this fault on Wilder's lack of learning. In fact, Wilder lost to Fury, not wild incompetent, but Fury is too strong, especially the ability to resist the fight can be called perverted level. Wild has tried his best. If it weren't for Lewis's true biography, Wild might not have defended the title 10 times.
In fact, Lewis is also a good boxing champion, he has also pointed out David Price and Dubois before, of course, the people he favors, in the end, they all lost. Price, in particular, lost very badly and was KO by many people. Dubois later lost to Joyce as well. From this point of view, Wilder is still a better mix.
Therefore, Lewis was Wilder's benefactor for a lifetime, without Lewis's careful guidance in the parking lot, and without the later Wilder. What do you say? 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
