Perhaps because of the scarcity of resources, the competition of Asian heavyweight fighters is particularly eye-catching.
In 2005, K-1 was built in Hawaii, USA.
This year, South Korean giant Choi Hong-wan has just debuted, with a record of 4 total victories, for the second time to meet Sumo Yokooka turned to kick boxing field Shu Taro.
Cui Hongwan is 218 cm tall and weighs 160KG, Akitaro is 203 cm tall and weighs 233KG, and the visual impact brought by the two meat bomb chariots can be imagined.
Of course, the result was not unexpected, Aketaro was ravaged by Choi Hongwan like a human target, and was KO in the first round.
Tyson, the boxer invited as a guest, watched the game on the stage while eating popcorn...
Choi Hongwan provoked Tyson
And then something unexpected happened.
The winning Choi Hong-wan repeatedly provoked Tyson in the ring and waved him to the stage.
Tyson, on the other hand, just shook his head and waved his hand, while chewing on the popcorn in a big mouthful, revealing an awkward and polite smile.
He even gave Cui Hongwan a thumbs up, deliberately "showing weakness".
Cui Hongwan saw that Tyson did not even move his ass for half a day, and then he aggressively stepped down from the stage.
Fortunately, he did not act too aggressively, but only returned to the ring after touching his fist with Tyson.
Did the former boxing beast be afraid to admit it when he met the first warrior of The Great Korea?
In fact, as far as the strength of the two people is concerned, in addition to being compared to making kimchi, It is possible that Cui Hongwan has a very low chance of winning under any rule that does not restrict the martial arts.
So why did Tyson "admit it"? Maybe K-1 and Choi Hongwan's little calculations are wrong.
The match was played on July 29, 2005.
Just a month ago, Tyson completed the last match of his career and announced his retirement from boxing.
Tyson said when he retired:
"In order not to let the sport continue to be humiliated, this is the end of my career, this is the end."
At this time, Tyson was already determined to quit boxing, and it turned out that he had never stepped into a professional boxing ring since 2005.
In addition, Tyson, who was 35 years old at the time, no longer insisted in the boxing ring with high pay.
It would be even more impossible to let him play a kickboxing match that was several levels lower than the commercial level, against a "chick" who had just debuted.
And just from the perspective of hype, Tyson is not unable to act with K-1.
But the problem is that Choi Hongwan's popularity is completely out of proportion to Tyson's, and it is clear that this scene did not fully communicate with Tyson in terms of prior K-1.
Then, in the face of an "unknown" challenger and the event without adding money, Tyson is completely unencumbered by adult beauty.
In the face of Tyson, a big guy who has been groping in professional boxing Vanity Fair for many years, the empty glove white wolf trick seems to be completely unworkable.
In fact, Tyson also attended the WWE show as a guest, and was rudely treated by WWE superstar Austin on the spot.
Austin also gave Tyson a middle finger, Tyson did not say a word, went up and pushed Austin, the two people almost crazy on the stage to do a game, more than a dozen people can not hold.
Later, Tyson "clashed" with others at WWE many times, of course, WWE itself is a big show, and Tyson's identity at this time is also an actor.
So a lot of times, matchmaking is a market behavior, and the higher the standard of the game, the more so.
Today's story is just the tip of the iceberg of a negative example.
Therefore, everyone knows how much effort is required behind the promotion of various "super wars".
