Battle I reached the fourth place in the world! 18-year-old "fighting chicken" Zhang Peimian: I am still not satisfied!
Zhang Peimian, known as "China's strongest middle school student", is rising at an unprecedented pace. Zhang Peimian, who is only 18 years old, is the first martial arts reality show in China, one championship game "Sa! In "Force Fist Opening", he defeated Zeva Liluo, who was half a head taller than himself, and Hao Chenwei, the "Assassin of Time", to win the grassweight kickboxing four-man championship and win the opportunity to go to the international ring of the ONE Championship.
On March 11, in "ONE: Immortal Light", Zhang Peimian made his international debut against the "time bomb" Josh Tona. Compared with Zhang Peimian, who is 163 cm tall, Australian celebrity Tona is taller, has won the ISKA world championship, ranked second in grassweight Muay Thai, fifth in kick boxing, and has good strength. But the 18-year-old Chinese teenager will hit fast and slow, small and big, relying on a combination of extremely sudden forehand swings and high-frequency punches and legs, knocking down Tona four times in less than two rounds. The referee terminated the match at 2 minutes and 11 seconds after the second round, and Zhang Peimian TKO was in the top five of the world, becoming the first Chinese boxer to receive a $50,000 bonus.
Looking at Tona's professional record, even the youngweight champion challenger and Akimoto Haogui, who defeated Qiu Jianliang, failed to end him. The performance of knocking down TKO 4 times fully shows how terrible Zhang Peimian's strength is. Such a wonderful performance made ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatry Xiyoutang notice the new star from China: "I believe that Zhang Peimian can become the next superstar, and I am very much looking forward to his next performance." ”
After the match, in the official ONE ranking, Zhang Peimian reached the fourth place in the grassweight boxing, behind China's Wang Junguang, Aslanbek Ziklev and Asdemil Bolzov. Due to the retirement of Sam A.G.E. Hayadao, the title of World Champion in StrawWeight Kickboxing is currently vacant. Zhang Peimian may be only 2-3 wins away from the championship throne. Zhang Peimian was very excited about this: "Entering the top four, I feel extremely excited in my heart, but I am not satisfied. 4 knockdowns in two rounds has proved my strength, because I am only 18 years old, growing every day, I am eager to fight, I believe that in the near future I will take the grassweight challenge! As long as it is the person who ranks ahead of me, I want to fight! ”
Due to the impact of the epidemic, Zhang Peimian did not return to China after the game, but stayed in Singapore to train with his teammate Ji Duo Yibu and "Fighting Lin Sister" Lin Heqin. "I want to be a world champion, but I know it takes more effort. After winning, I received a lot of praise, which became my motivation to move forward, and I will continue to improve my strength and repay everyone's support for me with more exciting games. I would like to especially thank Shengli people and team for cultivating me! Although there are many difficulties during the epidemic, I will overcome them one by one, complete the daily training plan that my coach has set for me, and be ready to return to the field at any time. ”
Compared with the grass-level competitors, the fly-level master is like a cloud, considering Zhang Peimian's age, the future body will continue to grow, so some people have compared him with the fly-level master. "Now my weight is also the lightest in the grass level, upgrading combat is a matter of future consideration, and when the weight grows, I will also try to upgrade the battle." But at the moment I want to get the GrassWeight Kickboxing World Championship first! ”
At the age of 18, rare talent, and a down-to-earth and hard-working mentality, the world's top four is just a starting point for Zhang Peimian. The future of the teenager can be expected!
