Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 79 Boxing Match Arrangements

 “CUT!”

The guest appearance of the crew of "Fast and Furious" went well. He played the role of Dwight, an underground racer.

In Fast 4, in order to catch the real culprit who killed his girlfriend Letty, Brian, the male lead, joined forces again to catch the South American drug lord, and joined a cartel organization that used racing as a cover, and successfully infiltrated it.

 Dwight, played by Link, also participated in that racing competition and was eventually abused by the two leading actors.

Dwight didn't have many scenes. He only showed up a few times in the game and made a few provocative moves towards the protagonist. Since the racing took place at night, Link only took two afternoons to complete the filming. No time was wasted for training.

 “Hey, Link, your acting skills are pretty good. I hope we can work together again if we have a chance.”

 The male lead Paul Walker shouted while sitting in the car.

"OK!"

Link smiled softly. During the filming, he only sneered at the camera twice and made a set of disdainful expressions. He didn't do any other actions. Can this be called good acting?

But I thought of what Stephen Herrick said. Director Stephen said that in Hollywood nowadays, handsome actors are more popular than actors with good acting skills. He has a good appearance and knows a little bit about acting. He is fully qualified to play a small role like "Dwight".

“Director Lin, if you have a suitable role in the future, remember to contact me. I can take on various roles.”

Link shouted to Director Lin Yibin when he left.

 “Link, is it okay to be gay?”

The second female lead, Michelle Rodriguez, shouted.

Hahaha! Everyone laughed.

“Except for this, I can play all gender-normal roles. I like acting.”

 “Okay, I remember.”

 Director Lin made an OK gesture.

Link waved his hand, said goodbye to the crew, and got into the business car driven by Simon.

“Link, Franco just sent me some information, please take a look.”

 Seeing him say hello, Simon handed over a piece of information.

Link looked at it and saw that it was a statement made by the British boxing champion Joe Calzaghe.

Joe Calzaghe is 36 years old and a British super middleweight boxer. He switched to professional boxing in 1992 and became the WBO super middleweight world champion in 1997. He has held the WBO super middleweight gold belt for 10 consecutive years and the United States in 2006. Boxing champion Jeff Lacy won the IBF super middleweight belt.

After defeating Danish boxing champion Mikkel Kessler in November last year, he collected four super middleweight gold belts from WBA-WBC-IBF-WBO, and his career record reached 44 fights and 44 wins.

On May 19 this year, he was promoted to lightweightweight. The weight of Berned Hopkins, Bernestelling Boxed, has added another game with a career record of 45 wins and 45 wins.

 And plans to challenge Roy Jones Jr. in November this year.

Since Joe Calzaghe has been promoted to light heavyweight and is too heavy to compete in the super middleweight competition, he announced yesterday that he would give up all super middleweight gold belts in his name.

According to regulations, the four major professional boxing organizations will hold qualifying and challenge matches in the near future to determine the ownership of the four boxing championship gold belts. All super middleweight professional boxers can sign up to participate.

 “Link, do you want to participate?”

Simon straightened his back and looked at Link and asked.

“Of course, this is a good opportunity to shorten my time to become a world boxing champion, of course I have to participate.”

Link thought for a while and said.

“Are you a little anxious? The fight for the gold belt will be around October. At that time, you have just participated in the Olympics and have not received professional boxing training. If you directly participate in a professional competition, the risk will be relatively high.

Franco's proposal is that after the Olympics, the company will first arrange for a few professional boxers to practice with him. If it is easier to win against them, then he will sign up to compete for the gold belt, which will be less risky. "

Simon suggested in a cautious tone.

Link nodded and agreed to Simon's proposal.

 The battle for the gold belts of the four major organizations is a series of games. New boxers entering the professional boxing world need to first participate in regional qualifying competitions and obtain the intercontinental boxing championship belt. With the intercontinental gold belt, they are eligible to compete with other intercontinental boxing champions, or challenge the organization's internal world ranking of 16th The boxer ranked 30th will win the international boxing championship belt.

After becoming an international boxing champion, you can then participate in the qualifying tournament to compete for the challenger title. Since the super middleweight world boxing championship of the four major organizations is vacant, you only need to attract the challenger to get the gold belt and become the world boxing champion.

The difficulty is no lower than the Olympic series. Simon suggested competing with boxers within the company first, to get used to the rhythm of professional competitions, and then go to professional competitions. This is a safer suggestion, so Link supports it.

 The car returned to the promenade, Link and Gadot got out of the car, and Simon took the driver away again.

 Back in the small shop, the door was lit with lights, and there was a burst of laughter and laughter in the room, as if there was a party.

Link walked in and saw James, Daniel, Michael, and three young girls sitting together around a low table. On the table were more than a dozen beer cans, barbecue, fruit salad, etc.

A few people were eating and chatting, looking very happy.

“Hey, how can you have dinner here while I’m filming?”

Link pulled Gadot and sat down

"You are too busy and I can't wait for you."

"Yes Link, you missed a good thing about Daniel. Today he won second place in the Bund Hot Dog Contest. We are celebrating this good news."

Michael shouted, holding up his beer.

 “Is there a hot dog competition?”

Link asked in confusion.

James nodded repeatedly and said while chewing on the ribs: "Not only hot dogs, but also barbecue, sandwiches, ice cream, there are also competitions for diving and surfing. Don't forget to participate in the next beach diving competition."

 “Okay! Daniel, congratulations to you, I will also try your hot dogs tomorrow.”

Link held a bottle of light beer and smiled.

"haha, thank you!"

Daniel said happily.

Link sat nearby, listening to several people chatting about the hot dog contest. His mind was a little dazed. Since the qualifying competition, he has been busy signing contracts with companies, becoming celebrities, multi-millionaires, making movies, etc. Going away seems to be getting further and further away from the people around you.

 Listening to their jokes, I don’t feel much resonance.

Link was a little helpless. He didn't know if he was walking too fast and separated from the masses, or if life should be like this. He met a group of people, left a group of people, met a group of people again and left again. But Link was a rather nostalgic person. People don't like to meet new people, and they don't like to be far away from the original people.

He stood up, found the keys to the yacht and asked, "It's not dark yet, do you want to go have a drink on the yacht?"

A few people were stunned for a moment and cheered loudly.

 “Link, your suggestion is great.”

 “Come on, have a party on a yacht, it’s great to think about.”

Link smiled lightly and felt that it was not too difficult to have fun with others.

　　Although he has to make guest appearances on the set and sometimes accompany everyone on overseas trips, most of his energy and time are devoted to boxing training.

In order to help him train, Coach West hired two sparring partners for him. Both were strong black men with a height of 1.9 meters. Their boxing skills were average, but their bodies were strong and their ability to resist beatings was very good. They wore protective gear and could persist. Play ten rounds with Link.

In addition to the two new sparring partners Henry and Brown, Mario Morales also brought his luggage and paid a tuition fee to the West Boxing Gym shortly after the qualifying round, and also said that he would be a sparring partner for Link. .

Now Link has three and a half sparring partners, Morales, Henry, Brown, and the other half Mario who is determined not to let go of his role as a sparring partner.

Link often practices offensive techniques with Henry and Brown, defensive techniques with Morales, and heavy punches with Mario. The efficiency of training has also skyrocketed.

 At the beginning of August, when the punch weight was retested, the highest punch weight of his right fist reached 1520 pounds, an increase of 40 pounds from the first measurement, and the average of the ten punches was 1380, an increase of 30 pounds from the first test.

 The highest weight of the left fist was 1360 pounds, an increase of 50 pounds from the first time, and the average weight was 1050 pounds, an increase of 30 pounds from the first time.

 After two months of training, the weight of both fists has increased by more than 30 pounds. The training effect is very significant. The average weight of Reggie's fists has increased by up to 10 pounds, and Mario has regressed by 5 pounds.
