Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the boxing training ground, Link stood in front of the punch weight tester and punched the target ten times with all his strength, his face gradually darkened.

Although his new song won the first place on the Billboard Rap Chart, he was not in a very good mood.

Just now, he used the punch weight tester to test the punch weight and the average punch weight of ten punches.

The maximum right punch weight was 1610 pounds, and the maximum left punch weight was 1440 pounds.

Before the match with Tyson last year, he trained in seclusion for more than two months, raising the weight of his right fist to 1600 pounds and the maximum left fist weight to 1420 pounds.

But in the past six months, the maximum weight of his two fists has only increased by more than 10 pounds.

The average weight of his two fists has only increased by about ten pounds.

The speed of the punch weight increase has greatly slowed down, which means that he has slacked off.

In the past six months, he was busy recording music, releasing records, shooting commercials, and filming movies, and spent much less time on training.

According to the growth rate of punch weight from June to December last year, if I can spend more time on training in the first half of the year, the weight of my right fist can be increased to more than 1660 pounds.

What a pity!

"What's wrong?"

A black face full of flesh suddenly leaned over from the side of the test machine and glanced at the screen.

"1580 pounds?!"

"How is this possible?!!"

Mario yelled, "Last year in the boxing gym, your maximum punch weight was only 1480 pounds. In just one year, your punch weight has increased by 100 pounds? How is this possible?"

"Last year I didn't receive systematic boxing training and didn't know how to exert force. Now I know, so I'm stronger."

Link said calmly.

"But, if you increase 100 pounds a year, 1000 pounds in ten years, won't you become a superman in another ten years?!"

Mario stared with envy and jealousy.

Link shook his head, "My punch weight has only increased by ten pounds this year."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of a question. The slower the growth rate of his punch weight, perhaps it is not only because of the reduction in training time, but also related to his own physical condition?

Due to his own limitations, the speed of improvement is getting slower and slower, and the longer it takes?

Link thought about it and decided to train seriously for a period of time after the game before making a judgment.

"Ten pounds of punch weight increase in half a year? You are still not satisfied?"

Mario looked at him with a crazy face, envious.

He trained hard every day, and his maximum punch weight was only 1020 pounds. If he relaxed a little, it would slip below 1000 pounds.

Like Link, while practicing boxing and doing other things, not only will the punch weight not decline, but it can also increase by 10 pounds. This is what many boxers dream of, but he still looks very dissatisfied, which is too hateful.

"I am born strong, you don't have to envy me."

Link shook his head, put on boxing gloves, and walked to the training area to lift the barbell.

Mario waved his fist at his back, walked to the punch weight test, pulled out the punching target, and took a deep breath.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Five consecutive punches, the maximum punch weight is 990 pounds!

"Ah!!!"

Mario clenched his fists and roared angrily.

——

"979899100! Huh!"

In the equipment training area, Link put down the 200-pound barbell and exhaled a long breath.

Within two hours, he completed ten sets of strength training in a row, including clean and jerk, bench press, weighted squats, etc., all the muscles in his body bulged, hot sweat rolled on his skin, and his body seemed to be filled with great power.

He likes this feeling of being full of physical strength.

During the training, Franco and Simon came and told him that the compensation agreement for the boxing champion challenge had been signed. In addition to the basic appearance fee of 2 million, he will also receive an additional 15% of the ticket revenue and 10% of the TV broadcast revenue.

There are three main parts of income from professional boxing matches.

The first is the basic appearance fee, which is paid by the organizer of the main event. The appearance fee varies depending on the influence and popularity of the boxer.

The second part is the share of PPV income from cable TV broadcasts.

According to convention, the signal producers of this match, namely HBO and SHOWTIME, the two TV stations that broadcast boxing matches live, can get 10%-60% PPV share for each match.

Satellite live broadcast agencies and signal distribution agencies can get 30%.

Boxers and companies participating in the competition can get 10%-60%. The more famous the boxer is, the higher the PPV share ratio they get.

The third part is peripheral income, including income share from tickets, casinos, hotels, airports, car rental companies, advertising sponsorship, etc., which also varies according to the influence of the boxer, and the highest share can be 50%.

Link is currently very famous in the United States, but his appeal in the boxing market is still not as good as that of top boxers such as Mayweather and De La Hoya. Therefore, he got the lowest share ratio in the boxing champion challenge.

In order to get a higher share, he needs to win a few more fights and get more gold belts.

"Link, the four major organizations' super middleweight championship title merger is also under discussion and will probably take place within the year. You should also be prepared."

Franco reminded.

"How are the four major organizations planning to compete?"

Link asked.

Franco shook his head and smiled: "You don't agree with Super Six, Super 1+5, and other boxing champions don't agree. The four major organizations have stated that they will no longer interfere in the competitions of several organizations' boxing champions. The next competition will be decided by several organizations." The brokerage company negotiates.

We are communicating with WBC boxing champion Carl French to start the WBC/WBA boxing title merger fight. Andre Ward’s agency is also communicating with IBF boxing champion Arthur Abraham. If the communication between the parties goes smoothly, the four major organizations The gold belt merger battle is expected to be held within the year. "

Link nodded. This arrangement was just as he thought. It could shorten the schedule and collect the gold belts of the four major organizations as soon as possible.

After seeing Franco and Simon off, he went to the open space to practice skipping.

Jumping rope can not only relax the muscles and make the legs and feet more flexible, but also improve the coordination ability of the hands and feet. In a boxing match, the coordination of the hands and feet is very important. When the footsteps can keep up with the speed of boxing, the speed of punching will be faster and the intensity will be stronger. The offensive line will also be farther.

If the steps are not flexible enough and the follow-up speed is lower than the striking speed, the punch weight will be greatly weakened, and it may even cause the center of gravity to become unstable and easily knocked down by the opponent.

After a week of retreat training, the WBA super middleweight title challenge begins.

The match took place at Madison Square Garden, with Link facing Andre Leal.

Andre Leyre, 28 years old, 185 cm tall, 190 cm long, black, with a strong build, was a bronze medalist in the middleweight event at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

After the Olympics, he switched to professional boxing. He is the former WBF super middleweight champion and current WBA intercontinental champion. He currently has a record of 28 fights, 27 wins, 1 loss, and 21 KO wins against his opponents.

A heavy-handed boxer.

Link has studied the opponent's game video. He has A+ for punching weight, A+ for physical fitness, A- for technique, and A- for speed. He is good at uppercuts. He has knocked down his opponent with uppercuts in 16 games and knocked down his opponents in three games. Injures the opponent's chin, causing the opponent's jaw to bleed.

The style is similar to Morales.
