Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 243 The match comes unexpectedly

If he wants to go one step further and defeat the famous Link, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

If Link wants to dominate the super middleweight boxing world, Andre Ward will be the last opponent he encounters at this level, and also the most powerful opponent.

Link and Andre Ward both want to step on each other's heads, so after training during this period, he will take the time to watch Andre Ward's game videos.

What we are watching today is the combined WBO-IBF boxing title fight that took place at the Arena Arena in Berlin, Germany on September 12, between Andre Ward and the Armenian-German boxer Arthur Abraham, known as ‘King Arthur’.

"Okay, the game is about to begin. Let's turn the camera back to the boxing ring. Standing on the ring now is the current WBO-IBF-WBF-IBO boxing champion Andre Ward. He is 183 cm tall and has an arm length of 185 cm. centimeters.

He once won the light heavyweight championship of the Athens Olympics in 2004. After switching to professional boxing in 2004, he has defeated all previous and current boxing champions in the super middleweight field except Link. His current professional record is 25 fights. Win 18 times by KO. "

In the TV footage, a strong black boxer raised his arms high, wearing black gloves on his hands, and beat his chest at the camera, full of fighting spirit. It was Andre Ward.

"Today at Staples Arena, in front of 68,000 spectators, he will face the most popular and prestigious boxer in the current boxing world. He is also the 2008 Olympic middleweight champion and the holder of five world swimming records. Author, super popular singer, teen idol—Link Baker!”

The live HBO TV camera suddenly hit Link’s face again.

"Um?"

Link blinked when the red light on the camera flashed, and his eyes suddenly went into a trance, and he saw the surrounding scenery changing rapidly.

 The flat curtain turns into a noisy boxing ring.

 The quiet small cinema has also turned into a lively boxing arena.

There are many people crowded around, including Coach Brooks, Morales, Simon, Dino, Franco, etc.

Outside is a packed auditorium, with an old white man in a suit, a Latin girl with a hot figure, Tyson with big gold teeth, a blond boy brandishing his fists, and a T-shirt with the words "Like Lin" printed on it. Boxing like that'.

Thousands of spectators held up his boxing posters and shouted "Come on Link" and "Link will win".

 The noisy scene and deafening shouts made Link unable to react.

“Link, what happened? You look bad. What did you do last night?”

 Coach Brooks waved his hand in front of his eyes.

last night?

Link hit his forehead with his fist, remembering what happened yesterday.

Yesterday when he was watching the video tape, he had a glass of lemonade next to him.

Selena came over later and brought him a fruit plate and barbecue.

 He smelled alcohol on Selena and criticized her for drinking.

Selena got angry and secretly added some cocktail to his glass, lying that it was cranberry juice. When she drank it, it tasted like juice. But the more she drank, the more dizzy she became. Before he could react, she passed out drunk and fell asleep. There was no relief when I woke up, and my whole body felt like it was floating.

  I don’t even know how I got to Staples Center.

"Wow, what happened? Why does Link look so out of shape, as if he is sleepwalking? Today is the finals of the super middleweight field. The four major organizations of WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF are competing for their gold belts. Mr. Link Baker, who everyone thought had a chance to dominate the super middleweight class, was out of shape before the game started.

 Unbelievable!

I seem to see the balance of victory slowly sliding towards Andre Ward. It is said that before the game, major gambling companies have set up betting projects for the two of them. The odds of Link and Andre Ward winning are 1.1 to 1 and 32 to 1 respectively. I think everyone bet on Andre Ward. Anyone who wins will have the opportunity to make a lot of money, and the bookmaker will also lose a lot of money.

 The game is about to start. What will be the result of this game?

Whether the out-of-form WBA/WBC boxing champion Link continues to defeat his opponents with crushing methods, or whether Andre Ward bucks the trend, creates miracles, and successfully unifies the super middleweight division, please let us all open our eyes and watch. Standing in the boxing ring, maybe the next second will be the most exciting moment in the boxing world in 2009. "

The on-site commentator held a microphone and spoke loudly in a very inflammatory tone.

At the same time, the HBO cameraman also focused his lens on Link's handsome but slightly dazed face. Through the camera lens, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV saw that something was wrong with Link, as if he was still hungover. .

 “Selena! How old are you? Why are you still acting like this?”

 In the living room of No. 16 Bay Villa, Ms. Mandy glared at Selena angrily.

"Do you know how important this game is? It's the super middleweight finals. If you win this game, Link can unify the super middleweight class and become the world's top boxing champion. If he loses, he will lose tens of millions. , I won’t pay you even if I sell you.”

 “Woooooo!”

Selena's little face was crying, her eyes were red, and her big eyes were full of tears. She sniffed and said, "I didn't know his drinking capacity was so bad. I only secretly added half a cup of Tequila Sunrise. Who knew?" He would get drunk, woo woo~ I was wrong, I shouldn’t have done that.”

 “It’s okay, don’t cry.”

 Catherine held her shoulders and wiped her fleshy face with a tissue.

"If you win a boxing match, you will lose. It doesn't matter if you lose. Sometimes losing the match is more conducive to the development of the boxer. Just like Tyson and Holyfield, their second match was more topical and the match bonus was It’s also higher. If Link loses to Andre Ward, the prize money is likely to be doubled in the next revenge battle.”

"Really?"

Selena blinked her wet eyelashes and looked at Catherine pitifully, hoping that what Catherine said was true, so that she could change from the culprit to a person with merit.

"Whatever is true is of course false. Link is an idol boxer. He maintains an unbeatable record. Boxing fans will worship him even more and regard him as a super powerful person. Losing is a stain, especially if he is not a loser. In terms of strength, I lost to you.”

Ms. Mandy looked sullen and poked Selina's forehead.

“Woo, I didn’t know his drinking ability was that bad. He would be drunk for a whole day with one glass of wine. I know I was wrong. If he loses, I don’t want to live anymore.”

Selena lay in Catherine's arms and cried very sadly, her shoulders twitching.

 “Okay, don’t cry.”

Taylor patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Link is very powerful, he won't lose."

"real?"

 “Yes, the game is about to start, get up and cheer him on.”

Taylor smiled.

Selena wiped her eyes and watched Link on the TV walking from the corner of the ring to the middle, standing face to face with Andre Ward. The referee in the middle raised his hand and shouted, 'Boxing! ’

　　"Come on Link, I will be scolded to death if you lose. Please, you must win."
