On the night of the Warriors' Glory 52-year-end ceremony, there was a fierce competition for the 64kg GOH belt, and Zhang Juntian from the Warriors Glory Global League Dadongxiang Fight Club stood out and won the GOH belt with three wins in one night.
That night, Zhang Juntian faced Thai champion Valachar in the first round. During the match, he thought clearly, maintained a suppressive state throughout the whole process, seized the opportunity, a high kick and a direct headshot, and then knocked the opponent to the ground twice in a row, and the opponent advanced by TKO in 1:47; In the second round of the eight-man battle, he faced against player Yuan Wu. In the face of this rare defeat, he successfully defeated his opponent with superb punch and kick combination skills and mature offensive routines to advance to the final; In the final, Zhang Juntian faced Ahmad Nika, known as the "Great Demon King of Iran". Both sides played fiercely and entered a fierce competition at the beginning, but Ahmad Nika was terminated by the referee for multiple hugging violations and was disqualified on the spot. Zhang Juntian successfully became the bantamweight 64KG glory gold belt winner.
Winning the GOH belt is very good news for every good fighter, and it is no exception for Zhang Juntian and his team, but in addition to being happy, there is inevitably some unwillingness, "Because this belt final is the opponent foul and sent out, it may be that the audience is not happy to watch it, as our coach, for our team, it is also unwilling to get a gold belt in this way." We still hope to have a rematch with him, to really take him down and defeat him. ”
Coach Zhao Shijie has always had a good impression of Zhang Juntian. Similar to many fighters, Zhang Juntian also started fighting when he was a child, and he was only 13 years old when he first arrived at the Dadongxiang Club, and he was still very young. "I didn't have a deep impression of him at first, but then I deepened my impression of him."
At that time, Zhang Juntian was training in the youth team and was only more than 1.5 meters tall. When he first competed, he was fourteen or fifteen years old, in his 50s and less than 55 kilograms, and the players he played were all about 60 kilograms, and there was no smaller class. "At that time, I told him that you don't have to care too much about winning or losing this competition, you should train yourself in this competition, and your real time is in three years." Coach Zhao Shijie said that he didn't expect him to play well in the game, although there were losses and wins, but a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child can play such a quality on the field, which is very valuable.
Zhang Juntian in the later stage did not live up to the coach's expectations. He spends a lot of his time on training, constantly consolidating his basic skills, and consciously conducts special training when he finds his shortcomings, and he has to practice more every night, never absent from the training room.
At the same time, his performance in the ring continues to amaze everyone, and he can successfully TKO his opponent "Lao Jianghu" Nicky against a foreign fighter for the first time, and he can also win the battle against experienced fighters such as Po and Yopeiya, and he can also successfully knock out his opponent in the bronze belt final of the Grand Prix...... Many people call him "a star player with a lot of potential in a short period of time".
This is a compliment and an affirmation of him. But Zhang Juntian is not complacent, he believes that the victory is a multi-faceted factor, to believe in the team, believe in the coach; You should also be sober on the field, and try to play the training and coach's tactics on the field; "There are no shortcuts in competitive sports, and only by working hard in your usual training can you show your true skills in the ring." ”
Getting this belt this time is an affirmation for Zhang Juntian, but he is not ready to stop, but continues to train. "I'm very happy to get this belt, but it doesn't mean anything, there are more strong opponents, so I'd better keep working hard and do a good job of training every day to prepare for the next fight."
We also wish Zhang Juntian, a brave fighter, to overcome obstacles on the road of fighting, constantly challenge himself, and win more wonderful!
