Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 57 Anesthetist VS Rock

Link's hesitation only lasted for a second before he was forgotten.

 When competing on stage, every second counts. Since you have made up your mind to KO your opponent, you should do everything you can to knock the opponent to the ground. Hesitation, hesitation, and self-doubt will all lead to a complete failure of the game.

After the game started, Link turned on the blacksmith mode, followed Peters closely, and kept hitting Peters' arm with heavy punches, one punch after another.

Peters' body is very strong, and the opponent is wearing protective gear, so the blow is like hitting a wooden board, making a popping sound.

Moreover, the opponent's defense was also very good. His arms tightly protected the head and ribs, protecting the effective parts very tightly. No matter where he hit, Peters' fists and arms would arrive in time to provide supplementary defense. and pick-and-roll.

In the first round, Link threw 87 punches, 35 heavy punches, with an average of one punch every four seconds. Only two heavy punches accurately hit the opponent's ribs. Since the opponent's ribs were protected by protective gear, the two punches brought The damage to the other party is not great.

 But after Link finished a round, he was covered in hot sweat.

“Link, have you ever thought about changing your style of play?”

Coach Ed sprayed water on him with a water bottle and said: "I'm not asking you to give up KO, I mean, switch from offense to defense. I also saw the game between you two just now. You were not only attacking Peters, Peters is attacking you too, and he's just hit you in the effective part at least twice.

 The meaning is obvious. He does not recognize your strength and does not think you can KO him, so he also wants to fight back and score points on you. It's better to defend first, consume the opponent's strength, and then counterattack in the third round. You may gain something unexpected. "

Coach Ed knew that he couldn’t be persuaded, so he used a different method of persuasion.

Link listened to Ed's words and looked at the Haitian Peters at the opposite corner.

In previous matches, due to the opponent's low strength, lack of stamina, low speed, or insufficient ability to fight, every time he threw a heavy punch, those opponents would switch from the offensive end to the defensive end, guarding tightly, lest they be hit hard by him. Knockouts, like Andre Berto.

But it was different here. Peters was not afraid of his heavy punches and believed that he could take his heavy punches. His heavy punches had no deterrent effect on Peters. Peters even wanted to use heavy punches to deter him. .

Perhaps in Peters' heart, he is the weak one.

This discovery surprised Link. After playing so many games, he was often called an anesthetist and a KO madman. This was the first time he was regarded as the weak side.

 He spat out the water in his mouth, had an idea in his mind, and decided to test it out to see if it was right.

 The second round started, Link and Peters walked to the middle of the ring.

 “Hey, Peters, you did a great job defending.”

Link said appreciatively.

Peters snorted with his flat nose and had no intention of speaking.

Link stared closely at his opponent's expression and saw a hint of contempt in his eyes.

This discovery also makes Link feel very interesting. He has played so many games and has KOed 20 opponents. This is the first time he has been despised in a game.

This kind of contempt is not unfamiliar to him, on the contrary, he is very familiar with it.

When I first learned boxing from Lao Liu, he was short and thin, with rough technique and clumsy steps. Apart from his great strength, he had almost no advantages.

 Boxing is a world for the strong.

 Unsurprisingly, he encountered a lot of ridicule, contempt, and disdain. His first nickname was "Miner".

In order not to be laughed at or looked down upon, he trained in the boxing gym every day, punching the sandbags with punches, and lifting barbells heavier than himself again and again. He suffered countless injuries, but he never gave up training.

 He has grown up little by little in the contempt of others, so he is very sensitive to this kind of look.

After realizing the other party's thoughts, Link decided to test it. If the other party really despised him, this would definitely be good news.

He followed Peters's steps and continued to attack, but the intensity of the attack in the second round was reduced compared to the first round, and the power was also much smaller.    This also gave Peters a chance to fight back.

After one of his attacks failed, Peters took the opportunity to punch him and hit him in the chest with a straight punch. Link was hit and took a step back. Peters was unforgiving and followed up with several straight punches and stabbings. The punch quickly hit Link's ribs and shoulders.

Link stumbled backward, leaning his back against the rope.

"Wow!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the scene, especially from the American boxing team.

In the past, Link would hit others and push them back repeatedly, but now he is being hit by his opponents and push them back again and again. This phenomenon is so rare that everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

 “Is Peters that strong? Even Link can’t bear it?”

Andre Berto and others looked at the boxing ring in shock. They all knew how strong Link's fighting ability was. But now Link couldn't catch Peters' punch. How heavy was Peters' punch? ? Is it still above Link?

Link’s punch weighs more than 1,000 pounds, and Peters is even more powerful than him. Isn’t he at the level of a world boxing champion?

 “Will Link be KO?”

Jones Fullers asked.

 Everyone was surprised by his question.

If KO Madman Link is KOed, it will definitely become the biggest news in the boxing world in 2008, bigger than the news that British boxing champion Joe Calzaghe defeated Bernard Hopkins.

On the ring, after Link hit the rope, the offensive and defensive postures of both sides changed instantly.

Peters changed from passive defense to active counterattack, swinging his fists and hitting Link's arm one after another, as if he wanted to break through Link's defense and knock him to the ground.

But Link's speed and reaction ability far exceeded him. When defending, Link raised his arms, moved flexibly with his feet, and dodges flexibly with his head, avoiding the opponent's heavy punch attack again and again.

 At the end of the second round, Peters fired 85 punches, mostly heavy punches.

 At the beginning of the third round, Peters continued to attack hard. The weight of his punches slowly dropped, reaching about the level of Mario, and he was sweating profusely.

Link continued to defend in this round. His defense was still watertight, he was not broken by Peters once, and his cheeks were still clean.

“It turns out that Link can not only attack, but he is also extremely sophisticated on the defensive end.”

Savon praised.

In the previous games, although Link also defended, he spent most of the time attacking and did not show much defensive ability. In this round, Peters attacked with all his strength, but could not break through Link's defense, not even once. No.

Savon looked at Link with more and more admiration in his eyes, because he suddenly discovered that Link was a perfect boxer. Even if Link was defeated by Peters in this round, he was better in offense, defense, speed, and strength. , mentality, and boxing quality, he has shown extremely high talent.

 Other than being too ostentatious, this is almost a perfect boxing apprentice.

“No matter how good the defense is, it’s useless. The third round is almost over and he hasn’t scored a few points yet. The outcome is almost doomed.”

 Aragorn shook his head.

 “Do you think Link will fail?”

Rosniel turned around and asked.

 “Failure to complete the KO is failure.”

Aragorn said.
