Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

Bang, bang, bang!

In the brightly lit boxing training ground, Link, wearing a thin T-shirt, red sports shorts, and palm-protecting gloves, punched the black leather sandbag hanging on the beam.

Punch after punch, the sandbag made a popping sound as he hit it, but the shaking amplitude was not large.

The sandbag was filled with iron sand, sawdust, sea sand, wheat, and sponge, weighing 100 kilograms. He could also hit the sandbag with force, but the purpose of training the sandbag was to practice the coordination of steps and fists and feet, and to cultivate a sense of rhythm, not strength.

Therefore, during the training process, the smaller the shaking amplitude of the sandbag, the better.

After practicing for more than two hours, Link had a layer of sweat on his body, and his T-shirt was stuck to his back, revealing the inverted triangle back outline.

After returning from Nashville, he was going to go to the Lincoln Cultural Center to participate in the rehearsal of MJ's concert, but they called again and said that MJ had something urgent to do and could not come to New York for the time being, and the rehearsal would be postponed for a few days, and the time would be notified separately.

MJ even called him to apologize in person.

Link guessed that he was probably in physical trouble, and he wouldn't have any opinions, but he felt that he probably wouldn't be able to see MJ in person, which was a bit regretful.

With free time, except for going to the recording studio to practice singing, he spent the rest of his time in the training ground. After watching Mario's game last time, he also found that he had some problems in his mentality and approach to the game.

He was too impetuous in the game and wanted to create hot spots too much, which also led to his game having only gorgeous data without much actual connotation, and not a classic battle.

After learning from the pain, Link decided to calm down and seriously polish his boxing skills, and strive to show more boxing qualities in the next game, rather than pure strength.

Bang bang bang!

While practicing boxing, Mario, Morales, Dino came, and Joe Smith, a 20-year-old white boxer who was newly added to the main event, was 183 cm tall and had a wingspan of 193.

After Mario won the light heavyweight gold medal in the tournament, he joined the main event company at Dino's instigation and prepared to switch to professional boxing this year.

"Link, there were a lot of hot girls at the Screaming Girl Bar last night. It's a pity that you didn't go."

Dino said with his two big flower arms holding the sandbag.

"If I go, you won't have anything to do."

Link smiled lightly, put away his fists, and said to Morales and Mario: "Let's start training now. Who will go first?"

"I'll go first!"

Morales raised his hand and said.

"Wait!"

Mario frowned and looked at Link, and said solemnly, "Link, there is one thing I think you should pay attention to."

"Say it!"

Link took the boxing gloves and put them on.

Mario raised his chin and said with a face full of fat: "Link, I am now the light heavyweight champion of the US Amateur Boxing Championship. If it weren't for the bad timing, I might have become an Olympic champion.

I think you should be more polite when talking to me, just like just now, you should say, Mario, do you have time? If you have time, how about we fight, instead of rudely asking who will come first, which is too rude."

Link smiled lightly, nodded and said: "That makes sense, then Mr. Mario Joao, do you have time, how about going on stage to fight?"

"Okay, then I will fight with you to see if you have made any progress recently."

Mario shrugged his shoulders, put on boxing gloves, and followed Link to the boxing ring.

"How long do you think Mario can last?"

Dino asked with his arms folded.

"Under 10 seconds!"

Morales grinned.

"No way, Mario is the light heavyweight champion, and he can only last ten seconds in Link's hands?"

Joe Smith couldn't believe it. He knew Link was very powerful, but Mario was the champion of the U.S. Amateur Championship and a light heavyweight boxer. It was impossible for him to not last even ten seconds in Link's hands.

——

"Come on, Link. You were stronger than me before, and you could beat me however you wanted. Now I am also a champion, and you can't knock me down easily again."

On the boxing ring, Mario raised his fists, and his head swayed left and right on his shoulders, looking very flexible.

Link glanced at him: "I suggest you wear protective gear to protect your head."

"I don't need it! Come on!"

Mario roared, waving his fist and actively hitting Link.

Link swung his fist at Mario's forehead at a faster speed, and suddenly Mario stopped, quickly turned his head to the left, and flexibly dodged his fist.

Seeing that he missed a punch, Mario grinned triumphantly. From today on, the days of being bullied by Link will end.

"Be careful!"

Bang! Mario felt a collision on the right side of his forehead, as if his head was hit by a hammer. The strong inertia dragged his body to the left and staggered one step. Bang! He fell heavily to the ground, and his left face came into close contact with the rubber plate of the boxing ring, and saliva flew out of his mouth.

"Why did you slack off at this time?"

Link looked at Mario on the ground and asked in confusion.

Mario blinked and was also confused. Why did he have such random thoughts just now?

After thinking about it, he felt that it was not his fault. It was that Link, that bastard, was too cunning. His first punch was a fake move, deliberately letting him dodge, and the second punch was a real punch, taking advantage of his unpreparedness and punching him.

He was too despicable.

"Put it off, Morales, let's continue!"

Link said with a wave of his hand.

Hearing his words, Mario almost ran out of breath and fainted. He was a boxing champion and was rated as one of the ten most noteworthy boxers of the year by "Boxing Ring" magazine. He actually said, "Hold on". This is too disrespectful. Be polite.

Then he felt someone grabbing his leg and dragging him from the middle of the ring to the corner.

Mario cursed in his mind, could he switch sides when mopping? Wouldn't it hurt if his face wiped the floor?

Link looked at Mario who rolled his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

This guy was too arrogant after he won the championship. He drove cars, picked up girls, smoked marijuana, and held parties for three days in a row. If you didn't show him some color, with his strength, he would only be used as a stepping stone for others if he entered the professional boxing world.

When the time comes, his loss will be too ugly and he will lose face if he is exposed by the media.

So it is necessary to give him a beating every once in a while.

"Link! Let's begin."

Morales took the stage wearing a headgear and boxing gloves.

Link continued to sparring with Morales, who planned to participate in the Golden Gloves Championship in June. After training with Link for more than half a year, his skills, defense, and resistance to fighting have been greatly improved.

Participating in the Golden Gloves Championship again, even if he faces several old opponents such as Andre Berto and Andrzej, he still has a great chance to win the gold medal.

During training, Simon came over.

Tell him that the time for the WBA boxing championship challenge has been set. On May 25, the venue is still the Madison Square Garden Arena, and the organizer is the WBA North American Boxing Association.

The promise they gave was that Link's appearance fee would be no less than US$5 million.

This year, after Link Music received more than 10 million U.S. dollars and earned nearly 20 million from advertising endorsements, Link's desire to make money has become much lower.

What he cares more about is the strength of his opponent. The stronger the opponent, the more interesting it is to win and the more exciting the game will be.

He took a look at Andre Rey's information. He was 185 centimeters tall, 190 centimeters long, black, with a strong build.

The current record is 27 wins and 1 loss in 28 fights. The former WBF super middleweight champion was defeated by Andre Ward last year and lost the title. At the beginning of the year, he defeated Jermaine Taylor to become the WBA intercontinental champion. He is a good level. opponent.
