Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 87 Super Potential

 "Link, go faster, let me see how fast your fist is."

  “Pay attention to the coordination of steps, and the steps and fists are consistent to ensure a stable center of gravity, a stable center of gravity, and a balanced body, so that you will not be knocked down by your opponent.”

“That’s great. The coordination of your feet and fists is perfect. You are indeed a very good boxer.”

"But there is also a problem. You have too few killing moves, and your back-throwing punch is too famous. It is easy to be guarded in professional competitions. If you often use the back-throwing punch, it will cause more damage to your arms. I suggest you train a few more killing moves. trick."

"You don't have to worry about your killer moves. Depending on your punch weight and speed, as long as you strengthen your training, in the super middleweight class, your straight punches, jabs, uppercuts, and swing punches can all be the killer moves to KO your opponent. trick."

"Yes, that's it, head - body, head - body, head - body, hitting up and down, hitting down and hitting up, coupled with your liver-blasting punch and heavy punch, wow, it's unimaginable, Link, you Definitely become the dominant player in the super middleweight division.”

Under the boxing ring, Tommy Brooks waved his fists and shouted excitedly.

"Overlord? Are you exaggerating? Don't forget that he hasn't played a professional game yet and is just a professional rookie."

Dino Dua leaned on his chair and curled his lips.

“No, no, he is a world champion, a ring anesthetist who has won 26 KOs in 27 amateur matches. According to his strength and speed, his development in the professional boxing world will be better, there is absolutely no problem.”

Brooks stared at Link on the ring and praised him repeatedly.

 “Is he really that good?”

 “Of course, better than I said.”

After Brooks finished answering, he heard a different voice. He turned around and saw the old man Lou Dewar walking over with a cane.

 “Can he become a world boxing champion?”

　　Loud Duva asked.

“Moreover, if nothing else happens, his future achievements will not be worse than those of Hector Camacho and Bernard Whittaker.”

Hector Camacho is a legendary boxer from Puerto Rico. He has won gold belts in three weight classes: super featherweight, lightweight, and super lightweight; Vitak has won four major organizations in four levels. The gold belts are all legendary boxing champions in the boxing world in the 1980s and 1990s, and they are also boxers who came out of major event companies.

Brooks continued: "Link's boxing weight is more than 1,500 pounds. He is at the top level in the super middleweight and even light heavyweight classes. His speed is no worse than that of the light heavyweight boxers, as well as his boxing skills and his tactics. His control of the game and all that, he's just an incredible boxer, I've never seen a better boxer at just 20 years old."

Lou Duva frowned and looked at Link on the stage. When Franco was planning to spend 100 million to sign Link, he almost got angry when he heard about it. He threw a teacup on the spot and kicked Franco out. He also dismissed Franco. Franco's position in the main event, but no one expected that just over a month later, Link, who was favored by Franco, would become the world champion.

 He ​​took a breath and asked: "Could it be that Franco made a very successful deal?"

"According to the current situation, it is like this. Link is a light-skinned man, handsome, powerful, and an Olympic champion. Combining these points, his business potential will be several times higher than that of Mayweather and Roy Jones Jr. He is bigger, and although $100 million is a bit exaggerated, signing him at this price will definitely not make a loss.”

Brooks said in an affirmative tone.

 Lou Duva looked at Link and frowned, was he really wrong?

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, Dino Dua, who was sitting on the chair next to him, laughed wildly. He fell from the chair to the floor with laughter, clutched his stomach, pointed at the old Dua and laughed, "My respected father, do you still remember that day two months ago?" Franco came home and said he wanted to sign Link with a big contract. You got mad on the spot and called him crazy. His brain was dried out by the Miami sun and you kicked him out of the main event company. What now?

Linkback, who you looked down upon at the beginning, has become an Olympic champion and a money tree that is about to grow up. And Franco, who was driven away by you, will make a fortune from this. My arrogant father, do you regret it now? ? "

Dino laughed.

Old Duva glared at Dino Duva, the arm holding the crutch trembled, and he had the urge to beat the traitor to death with a stick.

"Dino, don't talk nonsense. Your father didn't agree at first because of the company's development."

Brooks waved his hand at Dino and asked him not to make Old Dewar angry again. Old Dewar was old and being angry was a loss to the main event company.

"Haha, am I wrong? My father once said that it is not terrible to do something wrong, but not to know how to correct it. My wise and knowledgeable father, when are you going to correct your mistake and apologize to your son Franco? "

Dino sat on the ground and asked with a half-smile.

Lou Duva glared at him and said to Brooks, "Since Franco has done a good job, let him continue to do it. How successful he can be depends on his ability."

  "Okay!"   Brooks nodded and sent Old Duva out.

 “Come on Link, try to get ten hundred gold belts, and let the old guy see how good you are.”

 Dino Duva shouted from outside the ring.

 In the boxing ring, Link ignored him, but he also noticed when Old Duva came in.

This old man was born in the 1920s. He was a boxer and became a boxing agent and coach in the 1950s. He entered the industry earlier than Don King and Bob Arum. He can be called a living fossil in the American boxing community. .

 It’s just that he doesn’t understand how old Dua, who is in his eighties, has a son in his twenties, who is just like his grandson.

He continued to train, first practicing the fist shield, which is a leather armor made of highly elastic sponge. It is thick and elastic and can slow down the impact of the fist. It can be held with two hands or one hand. Link wears the gloves and keeps hitting Mo The fist shield in Lares's hand was hitting faster and faster, and more and more sweat was dripping from his body.

 After training the combination boxing, he practiced offense and defense with two professional boxers to adapt to the rhythm of professional boxing matches.

"Link, the WBA qualifying competition is about to start. You are fighting in the super middleweight class. Eat more these days and restore your weight to more than 76 kilograms first."

 After training, Brooks said.

"I see!"

Link nodded and came out of the locker room after changing clothes. Dino Dua also changed into more serious casual clothes and stood in the aisle at the door, accompanied by two strong boxers. When he saw him Just shouted,

“Link, do you want to go to the Midnight Queen Bar? I know a lot of beautiful girls. Do you want to introduce a few to you?”

 “I’m not going, I’m still busy.”

Link declined politely, saying that he could be friends with Franco, but he would stay away from people like Dino who seemed to be more troublesome.

“Link, don’t be like this. Today is your first day at the training ground. Let’s go to the bar to celebrate. I’ll treat you!”

Dino said, patting his chest full of bones.

Link waved his hand to express his gratitude, but there was no time. Simon came from the side and said, "Dino, Link doesn't smoke, drink, or take drugs. He doesn't like picking up girls very much. He would be very bored in the bar, so he usually almost Not going to the bar.”

“Don’t smoke, don’t drink, and don’t pick up girls? How can there be such a person?”

Dino looked at Link in surprise, as if looking at a monster, "Then what do you like?"

 “Boxing!”

Link shook his fist, picked up his backpack and left.

 “What a proud guy.”

Dino looked at his back and said.

“No, no, Link is easy to talk to and likes to make friends, but he just doesn’t like to deal with those crooked guys.”

 Simon explained.

 “Irregular? Who are you talking about?”

Dinodua asked dissatisfiedly with a dark face.

Simon laughed and jogged a few steps to follow Link.
