Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 176 Sneak attack (two in one)

 "Link, Andre Lell's uppercut is very tricky, please be careful."

 At the game scene, coach Brooks warned.

"I see!"

Link nodded, took off the towel on his body, passed the rope on the left side of the ring, and entered the ring.

 “Link! Champion!”

 “Come on Link!”

 “Link, you are the best!”

 When he stepped onto the ring, tens of thousands of spectators shouted his name loudly.

According to Madison Garden Arena, all 26,000 tickets were sold out the day before the game, including luxury boxes, front-row VIP seats, and 20,000 general audience seats, with an average ticket price of US$280.

According to information on the Internet, ordinary tickets for this game were sold for more than 500 US dollars on the black market, and VIP seats were priced at more than 2,000 US dollars.

 For many people, coming to watch a game live is also a very luxurious expense, and it is more expensive than a concert.

When Link came on stage, he noticed that in the audience, there were not only people holding his boxing posters, but also many audience members shaking his album posters and the posters of the movie "Blue Sea 2".

This shows that his plan was successful. After he became a star singer and actor, some fans and movie fans also became his boxing fans and came to watch his boxing matches.

 This is a very good phenomenon.

As long as he continues to persevere, fans will support him whether he participates in a boxing match, holds a concert, or releases a movie in the future.

 “Andre! Come on!”

 “Andre, defeat that pretty boy.”

 Opponent Andre also stepped into the boxing ring, and many people shouted his name, mostly black people.

 Seeing this situation, Link was helpless.

Although the "Grammy conflict" has subsided, the label of "racist" forced on him by Lear, 50 Cent and others has not been removed. He still faces hostility from some black boxing fans.

However, these people who cheer for Andre may also be fans of Kanye and others.

They posted comments online accusing him of deliberately provoking Kanye and others by releasing a rap single.

Since he didn’t get a response, he was probably unconvinced and came to attack him offline again.

Link also welcomes these black fans. If you come to watch the game, you have to buy a ticket. He is a star boxer and gets 15% of the ticket share. The more these people come, the more he earns.

 The ring referee came on stage, greeted the audience, and announced the rules of the game to Link and Andre Rey.

 When both sides expressed that they had no doubts, the referee waved his arm forcefully.

 “Boxing!”

The game started. Andre Rey bared his white teeth and handed over his fist, wanting to bump his fist and say hello.

Link put down his right fist and was about to respond to him. Andre Reil suddenly took a step closer. The left fist he used to say hello changed midway and turned into a swift left uppercut, heading towards Link at an extremely fast speed. His chin was raised.

"careful!!"

 Coach Brooks and others in the audience exclaimed.

Link was also a little surprised. In amateur competitions, fist bumping and saying hello before the game is a mandatory procedure and a kind of competition etiquette.

In professional boxing, this kind of etiquette is omitted, and there are no strict rules about whether to bump fists or not.

Link saw that the opponent was about to fist-bump and say hello, so he naturally would not ignore it, but he did not expect that Andre Lell would choose to attack in this way, which seemed very insidious.

However, he can also understand the opponent's thinking, because he is too strong, and the top boxer of the same level, Mikkel Kessler, could not survive a round in his hands. If he wants to defeat him, he must use unconventional means.

  For example, a sneak attack.

As long as you can successfully attack him at the beginning of the game and give him a heavy blow, you will have a great chance of winning the game, becoming the WBA world boxing champion, and becoming the first person to defeat Link.

Although this method is very insidious and will be criticized by others afterwards and given the nickname of "bad intention", the benefits gained are real, such as US dollars and reputation, so it is very cost-effective to use this method to compete.

Link saw the opponent suddenly change his moves, and his muscles tightened instantly.

 He ​​wanted to take a step back, but the opponent's uppercut was extremely fast, as if it had been tempered for thousands of times. The edge of the fist turned into a crescent arc and hit his chin at an extremely fast speed.

 It is too late to retreat.

Link turned his head with extremely fast reaction speed.

 He saw the opponent's fist grazing the side of his face and passing through his left ear.

　　Bang!

Andre Rey hit him in the chest with another straight right punch.

This was a heavy cannon punch with a force of no less than a thousand pounds, and Link couldn't help but take a step back.

"Wow!"

 Seeing that the challenger Andre Leal was able to hit Link and force him back at the beginning of the game, the audience couldn't help but exclaimed.

 “Well done Andre!”

 “Andre, one more punch and kill Link.”

 “Andre, world boxing champion.”

 Many black spectators stood up and shouted loudly, giving Link a thumbs up and booing.

 “Well done!”

 At the Black Gold Music Club on 34th Street in Brooklyn, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others saw the live broadcast on TV. Andre Rey punched Link back and yelled excitedly.

They turned out to be Tyson's boxing fans. After Tyson retired, they successively followed many black boxers, including Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., Mayweather, Jermaine Taylor, etc. people.

It's a pity that some of the previous ones have retired, and some are old and their strength has been greatly reduced. Jermaine Taylor was defeated by Link, and Mayweather's weight class was too low to help them defeat Link and breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that I see Andre Rey defeat Link, I feel very excited. I am looking forward to the next game, Andre can defeat Link and steal his WBA world boxing title. If it can be done, That would be great.

 “Come on Link!”

 “Link the Fighting Champion!”

 “Link, you are the best.”

When the anti-fans loudly cheered for Andre Rey, Link's boxing fans and fans also shouted loudly. His fans were even more numerous. In the audience of 26,000 people, more than half of the audience were It's for him.

 So when his boxing fans shouted together, the huge sound directly crushed the shouts of the black fans.

 “Tsk! The world boxing champion only has this level?”

In the boxing ring, Andre Rey said disdainfully.

Link glanced at him, didn't say anything nonsense, moved flexibly, approached his opponent, and swung his fists towards Andre's head.

Andre is three centimeters shorter than him, but his muscles are thicker than him. The deltoid muscles on his shoulders look bigger than his head, and the muscle tissue on his arms is very strong.

Seeing him attacking with his fists, Andre immediately raised his fists to protect his head.

　　Bang! Bang! Bang!

One punch, two punches and three punches, Link waved his fists one after another, hitting Andre's arms defense.

Originally, he could use head-to-body, head-to-body tactics, hitting up and down, hitting down and hitting up, but he didn't. He aimed all his attacks at Andre's head, launching a wave of violent attacks, vowing to Breaking through Andre's arms defense and hitting him in the head.

Andre was startled by the huge weight of his punch. Being hit by his fist felt as if someone had hit his arm with a wooden hammer, it was fierce and cruel.

 He couldn't help but want to put down his arms, but he couldn't.

 Once you put it down, you will be hit in the head.

 So he fought and retreated, trying to widen the distance between him and Link so that Link could not be defeated.

But what he didn't expect was that Link's speed was too fast, his steps were very flexible, and his fists and steps cooperated extremely closely. No matter how he retreated, Link could quickly catch up with him and continue to hit his arm with his fists. Smash it over.

 “Come on Link!”

　　"Link hit harder! Kill him!"

 “Link, that’s it!”

The audience saw Link swinging his fists and hitting Andre one after another. No matter which way Andre ran, he could quickly stick to him and continue to punch the opponent's arms to defend himself, punching him again and again. A punch does not give the opponent a chance to breathe at all.

 The audience was breathless and found it very enjoyable.

 Many people stood up, waving their fists and shouting like Link.

 “Hold on, Andre!”

 “Andre, fight back quickly!”

 Those who supported Andre at the scene and in front of the TV also shouted nervously.

Andre was so out of breath from Link's strong attack that he didn't even have a place to hide. He could only retreat to the side of the ring, leaning his back against the rope, and was about to use a hugging tactic.

But Link didn't give the opponent a chance. He hit Andre's left arm with a right fist, causing Andre's body to tilt, leaving a huge hole in the defense of his arms. He followed up with his swinging fist and swept over from the left. , banged Andre's right arm, and his fist hit Andre directly on the forehead. Andre was staggered by the beating.

Link followed up with a swift jab, hitting Andre on the left side of his cheek.

　　Bang!

Andre's head jerked back, and a circle of concussive ripples appeared on his face centered on his left cheekbone. The sweat on his face and the tears in his left eye also splashed like water on the drum surface. .

 Poof!

Andre stumbled backwards, sat down on the ground, and then fell to the ring with his upper body.

"Wow!"

Tens of thousands of spectators at the scene screamed in surprise. Just fifty seconds before the start of the game, Link launched more than 80 attacks in a row, hitting the opponent with one punch after another, without giving the opponent a chance to punch at all.

During this process, Link's attack never stopped, and the audience stared at the ring nervously, not daring to blink and breathing cautiously.

 Until just now, his opponent was knocked to the ground by two punches.

Throughout the whole process, Link showed extremely fast boxing speed, flexible steps, and extremely superb boxing skills. His punches were very close to the flesh, and not a single second could be omitted.

Like a good movie, there is no peeing throughout.

Bravo.

 There was a burst of warm applause.

Thousands more spectators stood up and roared loudly.

 “Link! Champion!”

 “Link! Champion!”

 “Andre, come on!”

 “Andre, stand up quickly!”

On the ring, Link looked expressionlessly at Andre Lehr, who slowly stood up from the ground. The referee stepped forward and asked Andre if he could continue to participate in the game.

Andre glared at Link angrily, spat and said yes.

 “Boxing!”

 The referee announced that the game should continue.

Andre roared angrily, waved his fists, and actively launched a counterattack towards Link, but he was a power boxer and his attack speed was slower than Link.

Link stared at the opponent's fists, moved his feet flexibly, lowered his head, tilted his head, and dwarfed his body from time to time. He avoided Andre's fist by a few millimeters more than ten times.

　　When he dodged Andre's fist, the audience never stopped screaming. They kept wowing and wowing, turning into a group of frog people.

Andre swung his fists and punched more than twenty times in a row. Except for a few times when his gloves grazed Link's skin, none of the attacks could fall on him. Andre was going crazy. He roared and rushed over to hug him. Live with Link and fight him hand to hand.

　　Bang!

When Andre stepped forward, the attack rhythm couldn't help but slow down. Link looked at the gap in front of the opponent and sent a fierce right straight punch, which passed through Andre's fists and hit his face steadily. .

The force of this punch exceeds 1,200 pounds, like an iron ball hitting a basketball.

 Andre's face, centered on his nose, instantly sunk downwards.

Link withdraws his fist.

 Poof!

Andre's nose was bleeding, and he unconsciously took three steps back. With a bang, he fell on his back on the ring.

 The referee stepped forward and squatted next to Andre for the countdown.

 “10, 9, 8, 7, 6”

Andre pulled the rope next to him and stood up unsteadily, but before he could take a step, he leaned on the rope again and fell to the ground.

“8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

André Leyre failed to stand up within ten seconds.

Link won and successfully defended his title.

 “Link wins!”

 “Link the Fighting Champion!”

 “Lin Keqian is always the best.”

Link’s fans at the scene shouted excitedly. In the auditorium on the second floor, there were several fans who held up a banner saying, ‘You Are The One’, obviously they were his fans.

Link smiled slightly and waved his fist towards the surrounding audience.

 The live camera was focused on his face, and the confident and handsome smile on his face was broadcast to thousands of households through satellite signals.

 “Alas, I lost!”

 Lille, 50 Cent, T.I., and Drake looked at Link's handsome face on the TV unhappily.

 “Andre was too weak, he couldn’t even last one round.”

 50 cents said.

“That **** Link is too fierce, and Andre has no chance of winning under his hands.”

T.I. spread his hands helplessly.

“Hey, are you watching Link’s game too? Or is it a high-definition signal?”

Eminem walked in from the outside, looked at the big-screen TV and joked, "The news said that Link can get 10% of the PPV income in this game. If you pay to watch his game, it is equivalent to giving him money." , It turns out you are also Link’s boxing fans.”

The Lille guys immediately became angry. According to the HBO TV channel boxing live broadcast charging standard, a single game is 69.99 US dollars for ordinary signals and 79.99 US dollars for high-definition signals. They paid 79.99 US dollars to watch this game, and Link can get 7.999 US dollars.

Originally, with their tens of millions of net worth, they didn't care about these few dollars, but when Eminem said this, it felt like he was really sending money to Link.

 This made them even more unhappy.

“Do you feel like you’re at a loss? I have a suggestion. You can find more people to watch the replay, so you won’t be at a loss.”

Eminem joked while sitting on the pool table with a can of cold beer.

 “Hey, that seems to make sense.”

 50 cents said, rubbing his chin.

 “Don’t listen to his nonsense.”

Lil Wayne rolled his eyes and asked Eminem, "What's wrong with you coming here?"

"Of course, last week you said you were going to release a single to beat Link's "I\'mTheOne". I advise you not to do that. Link successfully defended his gold belt, and with the media's hype, the single was released again. If you can sell more songs and release a single at this time, it will be very embarrassing if you can’t beat him.”

Eminem said.

Lil Wayne frowned and touched his dreadlocks, "Then let Link's single be number one on the rap chart?"

It would be okay if they ignored Link after he released his rap single and allowed it to reach No. 1 on the rap chart.

 But after media publicity, everyone in the circle knew that East Coast Rap was joining forces to deal with Link, and many people wanted to see the result.

If they ignore it and allow "I\'mTheOne" to stay at No. 1 on the singles chart, it will be tantamount to admitting defeat. This will not only disgrace him, but also disappoint fans.

 So the current situation is that it is difficult to get off the tiger.

"We have already lost, so there is nothing wrong with admitting defeat. Just before the game, Link was interviewed by the media. Some reporters said that you are deliberately suppressing Link by doing this. Link did not take the opportunity to attack, saying that this was not suppression, but a This is a normal competition, and Link also intends to relax.

I suggest you take the opportunity to accept this statement and tell reporters that you also like the song "I\'mTheOne" and are Link's boxing fans. Maybe you can gain Link's friendship. "

Eminem suggested.

“Are you kidding us? Now we are not the only ones who have issues with Link. Fans are also attacking Link online and at the competition. Now we suddenly say that we are Link’s boxing fans. What will the fans think?”

Leal said with a grin.

　　50 Cents and T.I. nodded. The fans were still fighting. They made peace with Link first, and those fans were likely to turn black.

"what are you guys saying?"

Kanye West walked in through the door.

Eminem’s expressions changed. If they hadn’t run fast last time, they would have been shot by Kanye.

 “Quick! Turn off the TV!”

Lir said hurriedly.

If Kanye sees Link winning in the ring, he will inevitably become depressed or manic. If he smashes it again, the club will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.

　　Bang!

Eminem took the beer in his hand and hit it **** the screen. Click~The screen went black.

Lil Wayne glared at him angrily. The newly bought high-definition TV was scrapped by him again.
