Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

 Chapter 52 Qualifying Round 2

 “Come on Link!”

 “Canadians, come on!”

  The second round of 18-9 competition continued in the afternoon. In this round, Link met Denis Uhls, the number one super middleweight in Canada.

  24 years old, 184 cm tall, 188 cm long, with an amateur record of 67 fights, 61 wins and 6 losses. He is a skilled amateur elite, a bit like Anderzej.

However, the opponent's physical strength and resistance to fighting are better than Anderzej's, and he is also more difficult to deal with. It is very difficult to KO the opponent within four rounds.

 “Boxing!”

Time is limited. After the game starts, Link seizes the time to attack without giving his opponent a chance to rest.

 In the first round, he threw more than 100 consecutive punches, including more than 20 straight punches weighing more than 1,000 pounds, before he broke through the opponent's defense and hit the opponent once in the face with a jab.

He also had to lament that the difficulty of the Olympic series was indeed much higher than that of the Golden Gloves. If in the Golden Gloves Championship, his twenty heavy punches, except for Andre and Morales, no one else could catch them. .

“Link, now you have a good chance of winning. You can win by scoring points. Why don’t you give up the KO?”

 Coach Ed persuaded.

 Andre Berto and others saw him sweating profusely and advised him not to be too obsessed with KO. That thing has no other use except good-looking statistics, and it will be even less useful after entering the professional boxing world.

 “It doesn’t matter, I can hold on.”

Link shook his head. Since it was a goal set by himself, he had to achieve it even if he died from exhaustion.

 Hence, men must be more ruthless to themselves before they can be more ruthless to others.

 How can you become a boxing champion if you are not ruthless?

 Bang, bang, bang!

 At the beginning of the second round, Link continued to attack his opponent with heavy punches, one punch, two punches, three punches, ten punches and twenty punches.

 He turns his attack into a violent storm, airtight, leaving his opponents breathless.

 With 10 seconds left in the second round, Link finally hit the opponent in the forehead with another straight punch.

 The Canadians were beaten and took a step back, leaving the door wide open.

Link took advantage of the opportunity and struck the opponent's face with two extremely fast jabs.

　　Bang! The two punches were so real that Dennis threw his head back, took two steps back, and fell on the ring.

"Wow!"

 The game went into two rounds, and finally the first knockdown came, and the audience cheered loudly.

 "Come on Link! Keep fighting!"

Morales and Andrzej roared loudly in the audience and kept shaking their fists.

Link panted heavily and waved his fist, but he did not dare to relax in his heart.

There are only two rounds left in the game, and only one knockdown has been completed so far. If you want to completely KO your opponent and kill the game, you may need to continue to attack hard, but continuous attacks will consume a lot of money.

 Plus this is the second game today.

 There is not much energy left.

Link shook his head, feeling that he was really going to cause trouble for himself.

 “Aragorn, what do you think of Link’s performance?”

Savon asked, looking at the boxing ring.

Aragorn crossed his arms, nodded slightly and said, "It's not bad. It's a little more severe than expected, but it's not difficult to deal with it."

Savon nodded. This Link Baker is not only a heavy gunner, but also has good boxing skills. He is worthy of being the Golden Gloves Championship champion.

 Just judging from the strength he has shown so far, he is worse than Aragorn.

  —

 The third round begins.

Link continued to attack his opponent with heavy punches. Compared with the previous two rounds, this attack had a clearer target, attacking directly towards the opponent's nose and chin.

 These two points are the weak links of the human body. Once hit, they will cause bleeding wounds to the opponent, getting twice the result with half the effort.

 Bang, bang, bang!

Link gritted his teeth, and his fists fell like raindrops on his opponent's arms, ribs, and shoulders.

 After attacking more than 60 times in a row, he finally broke through the opponent's defense and hit the opponent's nose with a jab.

 The opponent's eyes were filled with tears after being beaten, his vision was blurred, and the focus of defense was also on the bridge of his nose.

good chance!

Taking advantage of the collapse of his opponent's defense, Link punched the opponent's **** on the left and right sides of his forehead with two consecutive punches. The opponent staggered, and Link took the opportunity to make up for it with a straight punch.

　　Bang!

 With 15 seconds left in the third round, his opponent Dennis finally fell to the ground again.

Link was also so tired that his whole body was steaming, and the muscles in his arms kept trembling.

 “10, 9, 8, 7…”

 Unfortunately, as soon as the referee called out the four count, the opponent slowly got up from the ground. Link sighed, what a tough guy.

 The fourth round is also the last round of the game.

 After the game started, Link took a breath and continued to attack the opponent's turtle shell defense with his fists.

 Bang, bang, bang!

Link no longer intends to conserve his energy, and continues to attack the opponent's defense with heavy punches.

 After attacking for more than 80 consecutive punches, almost using up all his strength, he finally knocked down his opponent again.

　　Bang!

The opponent Dennis was hit on the side of the face, his body tilted two steps to the left, and hit the ground with a bang.

 “Can you still get up?”

Link put his fists on his knees and gasped for air. He was so tired that he couldn't straighten up.

 “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5…”

The referee called the count of 6, and the opponent grabbed the rope and stood up staggeringly again, winning cheers from the audience.

"sharp!"

Link sighed in admiration and had to admit that the player who can become the number one player in each country is very tenacious in terms of physical strength, technology, and willpower. No matter how many times he is knocked down in the game, as long as he can still stand up, he will continue. Keep fighting.

 This also makes it exponentially more difficult for him to win by KOing his opponent.

 The game continues with only 69 seconds left.

Link didn't dare to waste a second. He used the last bit of strength he had left to exert all his strength and unleash it on his opponent.

 With only 32 seconds left in the game, he finally knocked down his opponent again.

　　Bang!

 The opponent fell.

Link was also leaning on the rope, barely able to straighten his back.

 “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3…”

 When the referee was about to finish counting ten, the opponent miraculously stood up again.

 The audience burst into applause.

　　　…”

Link curled his lips, he was indeed the number one in Canada, his strength was indeed very strong.

 But will you give up the goal of winning by KOing your opponent?

impossible!

 Even if there is only 1 second left, he will work hard and try his best to achieve the goal.

The game continued. Link roared, raised his numb and swollen arms, and attacked his opponent again.

 He breaks the defense with heavy punches and makes sneak attacks with jabs.

 One punch, two punches, and three punches.

  30 seconds 20 seconds 10 seconds.

Link used up the last bit of his strength.

　　Bang! His opponent was knocked to the ground again.

Link habitually punched the air force twice more, then withdrew his numb arm and looked at his opponent lying on the ground.

 Can he get up this time?

 “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1”

 Didn’t get up.

Link gasped and raised his fist.

 Although it was very tiring and difficult, I won.

 “Link, you win!”

"Link, you knocked out another man. You are so perverted."

Morales and several others jumped up from their seats and stood under the ring, slapping their palms on the ring and yelling at him.

Link smiled lightly, but he did not dare to be careless at all. He almost failed in the second round. How will he win the next few rounds?

　　KO all opponents to enter the Olympics. This goal is indeed a bit of a trap for me.

　　“I declare that the winner of this game is Team USA’s Link Baker!”

 In the boxing ring, the referee raised Link's arm high.

“It’s a bit interesting, but the championship is still mine.”

 Aragorn said calmly.

Savon glanced at his disciple and said with a smile: "Don't be too careless. This Link is good at attacking and has very heavy fists. He is not easy to deal with. You should watch a few more of his games to understand his style. If you encounter him in the future, It’s easier for him.”

 Aragorn nodded.

"I will!"
