Recently, more people in Hong Kong are talking about political and economic events, but Zhong Peisheng's "Pearson Arena: Invincible Cup WE ARE CHAMPS 2021" held at the Kowloon bay International Trade and Exhibition Center on the evening of September 18.
According to reports, Zhong Peisheng was dissatisfied with Lin Zuo's "pumping" behavior earlier, and the two began a scolding battle on the Internet, and finally decided to solve it in the ring. Zhong Peisheng offered to give Lin Zuo 1 million yuan "boxing remuneration", as long as he was willing to agree, Zhong Peisheng would be responsible for preparing for the entire open boxing match. This "Zhonglin War" has always been a topic of conversation in Hong Kong. Zhong Peisheng is a "rich third generation", graduated from a prestigious university, and has successfully established a world-class "e-sports team" and has been learning boxing for three years. Lin Zuo is also not from a cold background, and has a high education, and is currently working in the upper echelons of insurance, but he has no experience in boxing at all. Because Lin Zuo has always been a bit strange in his words and deeds, and often "pumps water", many netizens hope that Zhong Peisheng will teach Lin Zuo a good lesson.
In the end, the whole boxing match was very successful, in addition to the "ZhongLin War", there were several other boxing matches, there were competitions of boxing seniors, there were also big battles between artists and online celebrities, and there were competitions between female artists. In addition, Zhong Peisheng invited Yin Guang to sing and Leung Wing Chung to narrate, which was a very "Hong Kong people's memory" exhibition match.
Regarding the remarks on the Internet about the "ZhongLin War", the author also has a few points to discuss:
1. Some netizens believe that Zhong Peisheng has been practicing boxing for 3 years, but he still has not been able to KO (knock down) Lin Zuo, who only learned boxing for half a year, has lost.
In fact, there has always been a difference in the weight of Zhong Lin and Lin, although Lin Zuo should have a certain responsibility to narrow the distance, but when he was "weighed", he still had 72.3kg, which was 7.5kg heavier than Zhong Peisheng. Taking the International Amateur Boxing Federation as an example, Zhong Peisheng's weight belongs to the "heavyweight level", and Lin Zuo is heavier, which has reached the "middleweight" level. In boxing, the side with the weight of the pound will have a clear advantage both in the weight of the punch and the fight.
In other words, Zhong Peisheng is more experienced, but Lin Zuo has a weight advantage, and he has been instructed by a famous teacher for half a year, and he is definitely not a "novice" who does not understand anything, and it is not easy to knock him down in the game.
In addition, in the case of Yu Ye's "heavyweight" boxing match, the end of the game with "knockdown" is relatively rare. Before the two sides shouted that they could "knock down" each other in a short period of time, it was just a kind of propaganda technique, even if it was a press conference before a professional boxing match, there would be this type of "shouting" or "scolding battle".
2. Some people think that the "Zhong Lin War" is just a performance for "hype", and some people point out that Zhong Peisheng and Lin Zuo must have had a tacit understanding and cooperated with each other in private.
Zhong Peisheng has already responded to this matter, which probably means that if the "Zhong Lin War" is just a performance of "collusion", do you have to cooperate with the "hype" of all media friends? In addition, Zhong Peisheng also said that if the two of them could deceive everyone, it would inevitably seem that they were too smart.
On the whole, this boxing match is of course of a performance nature, and ticket sales alone can have a lot of income, which is enough to offset part of the expenses, and can also hire workers in the boxing and entertainment circles to let everyone have a job and remuneration together. In addition, in addition to Peisheng Chung and Lin Zuo, other contestants can also win popularity. As Zhong Peisheng said after the end of the event, everyone is a "winner".
As for whether Zhong Peisheng and Lin Zuo are "colluding"? The author believes that even in a completely "hostile" state, it is still possible to exchange information, let alone this is just a boxing match? In boxing, there are many rules and requirements to be observed. Even if it is a fair game, it is impossible to be completely without consensus.
It is reported that Lin Zuo was trained by Master Xiang Bairong and his boxing gym, and was also trained by Zhong Peisheng. On the other hand, if Zhong Peisheng did not give Lin Zuo time and training at all, he would probably not be able to win. The two sides have enough training to go down, and it cannot be called "collusion".
3. Lin Zuo's playing style of "takeaway boy" in Stephen Chow's movie, with dodging and fighting as a delaying tactic, is completely within expectations.
Some people think that Lin Zuo is very clever in only dodging and fighting against Zhong Peisheng, and some people laugh at his incompetence. But if you look closely, you will know that this tactic is completely within expectations.
▪︎ Lin Zuo weighs 7.5kg more than Zhong Peisheng, at least in the fight, it is easy to have a weight advantage. A person who weighs so much more than you presses you with his body can already consume a lot of your physical strength.
▪︎ Zhong Peisheng's boxing style, shaking his head and body for dodging, the center of gravity is sitting low and then using the force to play different combinations of straight hook punches, basically referring to the style of the famous Cus D'Amato Style. The representative of this style is, of course, the boxing king of the last century, Tyson. After Tyson became famous, he also changed his playing style as he grew older, and the combination of punches and shaking decreased, and he changed to simple heavy punches, and the later training was not as hard as before he became famous. What kind of limitations did Tyson encounter at that time? One of them is that they are often consumed by people in a tangled manner.
▪︎ I believe that boxers who are good at cus D'Amato Style style can still restrain fighting. But one attacks in this way, and one fights with restraint, it seems that there is indeed a certain consensus. Coupled with The narration of Liang Rongzhong, it basically reminds all Hong Kong people of the plot of Stephen Chow's movie "The Destruction King". If the two sides have not communicated at all before, it seems that it is impossible to talk about it. Of course, there is a certain consensus and tacit understanding between the two opposing sides, which does not mean that the two collude. The two sides can still compete with all their strength in the ring.
4. Some netizens attacked Lin Zuo, believing that his boxing level was too low, like a clown.
▪︎ As mentioned above, Lin Zuo's playing style is within the calculation. This may even be something that both parties would expect. Then, Lin lied for half a year mainly practicing these footwork and techniques, how could he not do it well?
▪︎ You can pay attention to it, in addition to a few times when Lin Zuo "turned around and ran away", many times he successfully "escaped from the rope corner", and when dodging, he bounced away with footwork, and the route was arced, which could not be regarded as a retreat, which was completely qualified boxing footwork. In addition, Lin Zuo's entanglement is effective, and it is necessary to practice the same, not to say that the entanglement will be successful. Lin Zuo had been instructed by the special person in the Master's Boxing Gym for half a year, how could it be too bad?
▪︎ Moreover, Lin Zuo's head is larger and looks like a young man, but in fact, he is 171cm tall, which is not short in Chinese society, plus the weight is 72.3kg. His body size is not very fat, and it is estimated that he is a body with heavier bones. In short, we should not look at Lin Zuo too little.
▪In addition, boxing is a "gimmick", not a "you die me" thing. Lin Zuo received 1 million yuan of "boxing remuneration" from Zhong Peisheng, Zhong Peisheng is his "half boss", even if he has the ability and conditions, will he spend half a year to practice the method of knocking the other party down? Could it be that he would specialize in learning a lose-lose style of play? What good is it for others and for themselves? It makes the most sense to specialize in fighting and wandering.
▪︎ The author remembers the plot of Jin Yong's martial arts novel "Deer Ding", when Wei Xiaobao knows that the real identity of "Xiao Xuanzi" is originally the Kangxi Emperor, will he still do his best to wrestle with Kangxi? Anyone who faces the "rice class master" and has no great vendetta, of course, will not give a heavy hand. As for Wei Xiaobao, even if he made a heavy hand, he might not be able to win the "Little Xuanzi", it was another matter.
In the end, the boxing match has been over for a week, but there are still people in my circle of friends who have mentioned it. Everyone expressed their opinions, and the music was also harmonious. Hong Kong has always been an economic city and an entertainment capital, and over the past 10 years, Hong Kong citizens have focused too much on politics, which has not been the norm in Hong Kong. This boxing match also seems to confirm that Hong Kong society has begun to rectify the chaos. Although we still have a lot of deep-seated social contradictions to deal with, I believe this is a good start.
