Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 31 I want to challenge all boxing champions

 He ​​turned his attention to the reporter in the second row holding the microphone with the logo of HBO TV station. This was a tall female reporter wearing a beige women's suit. She was also the most good-looking among the reporters.

 “Miss reporter, what is your question?”

"Mr. Link Baker, boxing champion Bernard Hopkins, as well as boxing champions Chris Bird, Hashim Rahman, James Toney, Giant Valuev, they openly questioned your I think it is impossible for a normal person to KO his opponent 16 times in an amateur competition. They also think there is something wrong with the competition. What is your response to this?”

The reporter asked with a smile as she blinked her big eyes.

Link spread his hands and smiled regretfully: "I haven't seen the relevant reports, so I'm not sure if they have said these things, but I make a promise here. All boxers who question me, whether it is Hopkin Si, Chris Bird, James Toney, or Valuev who is 213 centimeters tall, or other boxing champions, if they don’t believe in my strength, they can challenge me after I change my profession, everyone, no matter what level, as long as they can last three rounds in my hands."

Link paused, looked at all the reporters, and said sonorously, "Even if I lose!"

 “What?!”

The scene was quiet for two seconds, then exploded with a bang.

 What did Link just say?

He said that after he enters the professional boxing ring, anyone can challenge him, no matter what level, as long as he can last three rounds in his hands, he will lose?

 Is he serious?

 He is a super middleweight boxer challenging all professional boxers?

Is he crazy?

West's mind was also in a state of shock. Link's answers to the first few questions were decent, but later he suddenly made a bold statement, saying that he could defeat all challengers within three rounds, regardless of heavyweight. This was too much. He's so crazy that if word spreads about it, people will definitely call him 'Larger Talker' Link or 'Talker Link'.

"Mr. Link Baker, you just said that you can accept the challenge from everyone in all weight classes. As long as they can last three rounds in your hands, you will lose. Everyone here includes Holyfield, Mayweather, Howard Roy Jones Jr., Joe Calzaghe, the Wladimir Klitschko brothers, David Tua, all the boxers?”

HBO female reporter’s face turned red with excitement and she named more than ten popular boxing champions in one breath.

As long as Link dares to say yes, it will immediately appear on the news. Link challenges these boxing champions, thinking that they cannot last more than three rounds in his hands.

This news will definitely become the most exciting sports news today and for some time to come.

Link looked at the female reporter and smiled softly, "Beautiful Miss Reporter, what I just said has a premise. Anyone who questions me or is unfriendly to me can challenge me. If those boxing champions you mentioned Even if you don’t believe in my strength, I will also accept the challenge, three rounds, everyone is equal!”

“Hey, Mr. Baker, don’t you think your words are a little too arrogant?” shouted a reporter from “American Express”.

Link shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "My strength is too strong to allow me to keep a low profile."

　　Boom!

The reporters were shocked by his words. How arrogant does this person have to be to say such extremely arrogant and shameless words?

 West covered his old face with his hands. His old face, which had been darkened for more than sixty years, couldn't help but turn red at this moment.

"Link, Roy Jones Jr. has also publicly questioned you. Will you challenge him after changing jobs?" a reporter from the "Miami Herald" asked.

Judging from the performance of the "Miami Herald" during this period, it is obviously a newspaper that favors itself. Link does not mind giving the other party a very eye-catching news. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Roy Jones Jr. has always been A senior boxer that I respect very much. The reason why I practice boxing is also influenced by him and Tyson. However, I feel sorry for his public doubts. After all, he is a veteran that I respect, and 37 For the sake of my age, I only use one round when I compete with him. If it takes more than two rounds, I lose.”

 “Link, don’t talk nonsense.”

West could hear sweat pouring out from behind. He said he would beat other boxers for three rounds, but it turned into one round for Roy Jones Jr.. This was not a provocation, it was an insult. He was punched by Roy Jones Jr. When fans hear this, they may not know how they will scold Link.   West tugged on Link’s arm and asked him to restrain himself a little, not to be so impudent and easy to get hit.

Link turned back and gave West a reassuring look, telling him not to worry too much.

 Even if he arouses the anger of all the boxing champions, those boxing champions will not come to fight with him.

Because boxing champions have promotion companies behind them, they will never participate in matches that have no chance of winning, and they will never participate in matches that do not make money. Those boxing champions will not bring gold belts to fight with them. It’s okay if they win, but they have to pay for losing. If you take out the gold belt, you will lose more than you gain.

In addition, Link is not afraid of losing to them. He has only practiced for more than a month, and his boxing skills, strength, speed, and reflexes have been greatly improved. If he practices for another year, two, or three years, he doesn't think there are many people in the boxing circle. He is his own opponent.

 He is not afraid of them coming, only that they dare not come.

This group of reporters was probably fed by the few explosive materials he threw out, and after asking a few random questions, they generously opened the encirclement and let him pass.

 “Hey, Reggie, what do you think when you hear your idol talking wild words here?”

 Mario bumped the dazed Reggie with his arm and smiled evilly.

Reggie looked back and sighed: "Link is so awesome. He is a boxer who combines strength, wisdom and courage. A perfect boxer. I want to learn from him."

 “Are you crazy?”

Mario grabbed Reggie's shoulders and shook him hard, yelling, "Reggie, can you please wake up? Link is just a guy who likes to brag and get attention. He is not as powerful as you think."

"No, no, you are wrong, Mario. This is not bragging, nor is it seeking attention. This is self-marketing. As an amateur boxer, Link is always thinking about promoting himself. Today, he took the opportunity Challenging boxing champions is self-marketing.

I bet that after these news are reported, Link's popularity in the boxing world will skyrocket, comparable to that of a second-rate boxing champion. If he switches to professional boxing, his appearance fee for each game will be at least 1 million. Above, above 1 million, Mario, if you were asked to market yourself, how could you make your popularity reach the level of a second-rate boxing champion? "

Reggie looked at Mario with burning eyes.

 Mario scratched his head. Naturally, he had no choice but to ask him to agree with Link's approach. This was absolutely impossible.

“But he actually challenged all the boxers. Isn’t this bragging? How could he beat everyone?”

"Why not?"

Reggie shook his head, looked at Link walking up to the ring step by step, and praised, "A long time ago, a Chinese neighbor of mine once told me that a truly courageous person, even if there are 10,000 enemies blocking his way, He also dares to rush in alone, Link is this kind of person. "

 Mario imagined a scene of killing ten thousand people and said, "This is not courage, this is stupidity."

Reggie glanced at him and shook his head, "No, no, you don't understand, you will never understand."

Mario looked at him, and suddenly became angry. He clenched his fist and punched him a few times, "Fake, you **** guy, have you forgotten that I taught you how to box, and how dare you do it in front of me?" Pretending.”

 Reggie was beaten until he grinned and ran away in embarrassment.
