Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 102 World Boxing Champion

 “Hello Mikkel! Welcome to the Miami game.”

On the boxing ring, Link greeted the opponent.

"Hello!"

Mikol nodded expressionlessly.

The referee came over and read out the rules of the game. After confirming that the two people had no objections, he waved his arms vigorously.

 “Boxing!”

After the referee waved his arm, the sound of cheering on the scene became quiet like a string that was suddenly cut short.

But the two still people on the boxing ring suddenly started to move.

After hearing the referee's order, Link stepped forward, waved his fists and attacked Mikol first. Almost at the same time, Mikol also attacked him, swinging his fists to attack Link's head. The punches with both fists were no heavier than Link's. Difference.

Link has already studied with Coach Brooks and Coach West before the game regarding Micol's offensive rather than defensive playing style.

Although Mikol has a professional record of 41 fights, 40 wins and 32 KOs, and seems to be a very high-level boxer, in the eyes of old experts in the boxing world, his boxing is also flawed.

His fists are very heavy, which also leads to his over-reliance on heavy punches. His technique is a little rough, and his fighting style is not flexible and delicate enough. His best fighting style is very similar to Link's, a series of heavy punches, using heavy punches to suppress the opponent. Take advantage of the opponent's weakness and KO with one punch.

Link's advantage over his opponent is not in punch weight, but in technique and abundant physical strength.

Seeing the opponent's heavy punch, Link immediately retracted his fist, blocked his arms in front of his body, and switched from an all-out attack to a defensive attack. This was also the first time he switched from offense to defense in the WBA championship series.

 Bang, bang, bang!

Mikol took the opportunity to catch up and attacked his defense with both arms wildly, hitting more than 20 punches in a row within 6 seconds. Link used his arms to block, changing positions while punching, and received all the opponent's heavy punches. .

 Bang, bang, bang!

Mikol continued to attack, punching harder than the previous one. The weight of the punch was at least 1,200 pounds, no less than Link's punch. The punch made Link's arm numb, and he received two punches on the shoulder and left side of the abdomen, which was also very uncomfortable. Feel good.

“Why is Link defending? Can he defeat Mikkel in 100 seconds?”

Dino asked as he touched his chin.

 “Look carefully, this is Link’s tactic.”

 Simon said.

 “Tactics?”

 Dino raised his eyebrows. Fighting like Link, he would definitely not be able to win by KO within 100 seconds, and he could earn pocket money.

"Look, I said he has regressed. He used to take the initiative in games and never waited to be beaten. Now he is beaten by Mikol and can't fight back. Huh, he asked for it. Who told him not to take it? I'm going to New York."

Mario snorted coldly, raising his big nose.

 “The game has just started, why are you anxious?”

Morales said with a sideways glance.

"Isn't what I said the truth? A good sparring partner is crucial to a boxer. If I were here, Link would definitely be stronger than he is now, and you can't compare to me at all."

Mario said as he bumped Morales away with his shoulder.

Morales curled his lips and stood next to Reggie.

 Bang, bang, bang!

 Micol has very good physical strength. He punched more than 80 times in a row in less than 40 seconds. In the first 40 seconds, Link only punched 8 times. The rest of the time, he defended with all his strength and made his defense watertight.

 “Link, fight back quickly, 100 seconds are coming.”

 Someone in the audience shouted.

But Link was still fighting back defensively, his expression showing no urgency at all.

“Did Link change his tactics? Don’t he pursue the goal of KOing Mikol within 100 seconds?”

Editor-in-Chief Raphael Varane touched his chin and said.

"Could this be a tactic arranged by Link in advance? Make an agreement with everyone for 100 seconds first to create pressure on the opponent, forcing the opponent to defend or take the initiative to attack? If others defend, he will attack crazily. His fists are very heavy and bombing His offensive style is also suffocating. There are very few people who can defend against his continuous attacks within 100 seconds.

Perhaps it was out of this consideration that Mikol chose to take the initiative to attack and use offense instead of defense to survive 100 seconds? "

 Doug Fisher said thoughtfully.

"Is that so? What if Link doesn't win within 100 seconds?"

 asked Anderson Gyllenhaal, director of the Miami Herald.

“Haha, of course let’s continue the game. Have you noticed that Link only said that he would win by KOing everyone within 100 seconds, but he never said that he would give up after 100 seconds.”

Raphael Varane laughed.

"Is that so? Link is too cunning."

 The people around him were amazed.

“Haha, I’ve said it before, Link is a smart guy. He always uses his brain to play the game, never just relying on his fists.”

Raphael laughed.

In the boxing ring, Link was focused on the game, only following his own feelings, not caring about anything else, and not caring about 100 seconds. The most important thing at the moment was to win the game and win the game in the shortest time, but he needed a chance. An opportunity to counterattack.

 Bang, bang, bang!

 At eighty seconds into the game, Mikol punched more than 110 times in a row and hit Link more than ten times.

 But he continued to punch hard, which consumed a lot of energy. At the end of the first round, his attack speed slowed down, he was sweating a lot, and he was out of breath.

Seeing that the opponent was reducing the frequency of attacks, Link knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately launched a counterattack, swinging a jab and hitting the opponent on the head.

Mikol reacted quickly and raised his arms to defend himself. At the same time, seeing Link counterattack, he also punched Link straight in the face.

"careful!"

 Someone shouted in the audience.

Link ignored the opponent's fist and suddenly threw his drooping right fist forward, hitting the opponent's head at a speed faster than the opponent's.

 “Whoa, backfist!”

 Someone exclaimed.

Yes, a back-throwing punch. Link took advantage of the opponent's lack of defense and slammed the back-throwing fist into the opponent's raised left forearm, hitting the left side of Mikol's face with huge inertia.

　　Bang!

Mikol was hit in the head by a backward punch. The left side of his face suddenly deformed, his mandible deviated to the right, and his hair and saliva were violently thrown to the right.

 The speed suddenly increased.

Mikol plopped and fell sideways on the boxing ring.

"Wow!"

 The audience was quiet for more than a second, and suddenly a huge exclamation broke out.

 Everyone was surprised and pleasantly surprised by the sudden knockdown.

Just now I saw Link being passively beaten. In the blink of an eye, he punched back and hit his opponent in the head with his famous stunt.

 “Can Mikol still stand up?”

 “Come on Mikol, stand up quickly Mikol!”

Dino couldn't help shouting.

Franco and Simon suddenly turned to look at him suspiciously, which side are you on?

  Dino quickly closed his mouth, clenched his fists, and silently cheered for Mikol.

Mikol supported the ground and slowly stood up, his steps staggering a little.

Link's back throw punch is one of the most lethal punches. In amateur matches, there are hoods for protection, and many people are often knocked unconscious by his punches. In professional matches, there is no cushioning of the hood, and the lethality of the back-thrown punch is doubled.

Most people simply cannot digest the impact force of 3 or 400 pounds.

But Mikol is not an ordinary person. He has excellent ability to resist blows. He struggled on the ground for a few seconds, supported the ground with his arms, and slowly stood up.

The referee walked up to Mikkel and asked him if he could continue playing.

Mikol stared at Link and nodded yes.

Link also secretly admired him, he is really a tough guy.

  —

 “Boxing!”

 The game starts again.

Mikol beat his chest and looked at Link murderously.

Link also stared at the opponent and took the initiative to attack Mikol with his fist. The opponent spent a lot of money in the first 80 seconds of attack, which was the opportunity to counterattack.

 He attacked Mikol's defense with one punch after another.

 After Mikol received a few punches, he found that he could not defend him, so he gave up his defense and launched a counterattack.

 Bang, bang, bang!

Both men gave up their defense, swung heavy punches, and attacked each other hard, punching to the flesh.

 "Come on! Come on Link!"

 "Come on, Mikol! Hold on, Mikol!"

 Seeing the two men fighting, the audience's shouts were deafening and could almost lift the roof of the Hard Rock Stadium.

Since Mikol takes the lead in attacking, he consumes more energy than Link and is slower than Link. His defensive skills also become more lax as he loses strength.

  Within less than three rounds of fighting, Link gradually gained the upper hand.

 He saw the opportunity and sent a swift and tricky jab from the left side of Mikol to break through his defense and hit his chin hard, causing Mikol to fall back and a line of saliva flew out of his mouth.

good chance!

Almost as soon as Mikol stepped back, Link took a step forward and hit the opponent's left face with a straight right fist.

Mikol is also a very powerful guy, with a very strong resistance to blows. 90% of other opponents will fall to the ground after being hit, but he was not knocked down after being hit by Link's heavy punch.

He grabbed the rope, steadied himself again, and bent down, wrapping his arms around his protective head.

 Micol’s coach also shouted ‘defense’, ‘comprehensive defense’ and ‘hold on, the first round is over soon’.

Link didn't want to give the opponent a chance to regroup, and he didn't want to be called a 'talker'. He gritted his teeth, raised all his muscles in anger, and launched a bomb attack at the opponent, punch after punch, within 3 seconds. 8 punches.

　　Bang!

An uppercut hit the side of Mikol's face, and then a straight punch hit Mikol's forehead again.

Mikol was beaten until his eyes turned white, his body swayed, and he fell on the ring with a bang.

Link retracted his fist and looked at his opponent who fell on the ground, wondering if the opponent could stand up.

 If you stand up again, the round will be over. Even if you win in the end, if you exceed the 100-second agreement, it will not be considered a complete victory.

  “10, 9, 8, 7”

 The referee came over to count, counting from 10 to 1. Mikol held the ground and struggled a few times, but could not stand up for more than 10 seconds.

 “Yay! Link wins!”

The audience was silent for two seconds, stood up suddenly, and cheered loudly. Tens of thousands of people cheered together, like a roaring tsunami.

Link breathed a sigh of relief and raised his fists high.

 “I declare that the winner of this game is, Link Baker!”

 The ring referee raised Link's arm high.

 “Link is the champion!”

　　"Mikol lost? Lost with one punch?"

 Dino was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed Simon's arm and looked at the time. The time showed 100 seconds.

  100 seconds? How could it be such a coincidence? Did you win the bet or not?

“I declare that the WBA super middleweight championship competition is over, and the new WBA super middleweight world champion is Link Baker!”

 Gilberto Mendoza, Chairman of the WBA Association, held his gold belt and announced loudly to everyone.

Then the gold belt was handed over to Link, along with a check for 800,000 yuan, which was the competition bonus. Whoever won would get the lion's share. This part of the bonus was the WBA's money from the auction of the right to host the competition.

“Mr. Link Baker, congratulations on becoming the WBA world boxing champion. I hope you will achieve more achievements in boxing in the future.”

Chairman Mendoza held Link’s hand and smiled.

"Thanks!"

 “Well done, Link, it was a great game.”

Miami Sports Commission Chairman Brundage, Americas Association Vice President Lynn Walker, Florida Boxing Association Chairman and others also came to the ring, held Link's hand to congratulate him, and took photos with him.

Link thanked several people, took the golden belt, and raised it high towards the audience.

 "Link the Fighter! Link the Fighter! Link the Fighter!"

James, Michael, Reggie and others were jumping and shouting.

 "King Fighter Link! Fighting King Link!"

 The audience stood up, clapped their hands, and shouted loudly.

Link looked at the golden boxing championship belt under the incandescent light.

His eyes were a little dazed. From the dark mine, to the even darker underground boxing ring, and then to the American boxing ring, he had struggled for two lifetimes, and finally today in the world-class boxing ring, he lifted the world boxing championship gold belt and became the world's best boxing champion. Boxing champion.

 The efforts in the past have not been in vain, and the blood and sweat in the past have not been in vain. All the efforts have been worth it.

 “Link, you are the world boxing champion.”

Morales, Reggie, Simon, Mario, and Dino roared and rushed to the ring, lifted Link up high, and threw him several times.

Link laughed. I think after tomorrow, all major media in the world will report the news that he became the WBA boxing champion. A world boxing champion who is only 20 years old. I wonder if Old Liu will sigh with emotion when he sees this news. The doll is awesome

 “Even Mikol is not his opponent?”

 In the audience, Greg Cohen looked at Link on the ring and frowned tightly.

Originally, he wanted to use Pascal, Jermaine, and Mikol to suppress Link's arrogance, let him suffer setbacks in the game, and then find a way to regain him.

Even former super middleweight world boxing champion Mikkel has lost to Link. It is extremely difficult to continue to suppress him.

"Mr. Cohen, Link is too strong, and he will also take advantage of the situation to build momentum. For this kind of boxer, it is best to cooperate with him and suppress him. This will not be possible unless his strength declines after more than ten years. "

The assistant said.

Greg Cohen tapped his knees with his fingers, his rhythm was fast, and he was very agitated. If he had decisively agreed when Link proposed a 70% share, he would not have missed this cash cow in vain.

 Based on Link’s ability to become a world boxing champion at the age of 20, his potential is indeed no worse than Mayweather and De La Hoya, and giving him a 70% share is not too much.

 It’s a pity that I still underestimated Link at that time.
