Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

Chapter 443 During the match (8/10)

Bang, bang, bang!

Link got his first punch and didn’t hesitate. He chased after him and used the ropes to punch his opponent with two sets of combination punches.

Five of his eight punches hit him.

Beirut was so beaten that he hugged his head tightly with his arms and had no power to fight back.

Beirut couldn’t get rid of his attack and could only hug him tightly with his arms.

“Break!”

The referee came over and separated the two.

Link took a step back and ended the first round of attack.

“Too fierce, Link’s attack speed is faster than it looks in the video.”

In the VIP area of ​​the boxing ring, Olympic champion Zou Shiming wore glasses and stared at Link on the boxing ring.

When Link used a combination punch, he couldn’t help but swing his fist a few times.

Zou Shiming was the third runner-up in the 48kg class at the Athens Olympics in 2004 and the Olympic champion in men’s boxing in the 48kg class in 2008.

He is 30 years old this year, but he still fights amateur matches, mainly because professional boxers cannot participate in the Olympics.

For this reason, he needs to wait until the end of the London Olympics next year before he can turn to professional boxing.

Zou Shiming has been following Link's boxing since the 2008 Olympics. He was too busy training before to fly abroad to watch.

This time, Link held a boxing match in Hong Kong Island. After seeing the news, he was originally going to take a leave to watch it. He would gain more from watching it on the spot.

Later, when the leader of the boxing team heard about it, he waved his hand and sent a stack of tickets, announcing that the top three in all weight classes could go to the scene to watch the fight.

Zou Shiming is the number one amateur boxer in China and a representative figure of boxing. He was also arranged to watch the fight near the ring.

After seeing Link's match on the spot, Zou Shiming was quite shocked.

Link's fist is very fierce. The first punch just now was like an electric drill, with an extremely fierce momentum, unreasonably breaking through Beirut's armrest and hitting the opponent's face.

Ordinary people see this punch and think it's nothing, just a fist hitting the face, which can be done by couples in normal fights.

But for these veteran boxers, they know how difficult this punch is.

First of all, boxing gloves are relatively large in size. They are not only elastic, but also increase the area of ​​the fist, just like the difference between using a cotton swab to poke a piece of cloth and using a toothpick to poke a piece of cloth. There is no doubt that the former is more difficult to do.

Secondly, the people participating in boxing matches are not ordinary people. They are well-trained boxing fighters who often do offensive and defensive training and know how to defend so as not to be hit.

The opponent's strong defensive ability will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of hitting.

This is also the most obvious difference between boxing matches and ordinary people's fights.

In the competition between top boxers, the strength difference is not big. It is very difficult to find the opponent's flaws and knock down the opponent in the game.

If the heavyweight world boxing champion lets go and attacks ordinary people, he can almost knock one down with one punch.

In this game, Link's opponent is the WBA light heavyweight world boxing champion, a top boxer who has been trained in many major competitions and has quite good strength.

Link, a boxer who has just been upgraded to light heavyweight, can knock out the opponent with one punch. This strength is indeed very strong.

"It's really amazing. He knocked the light heavyweight champion back three steps with one punch. The punch weighed at least 1,200 pounds. It was too powerful."

WBC-IBF lightweight intercontinental champion Xiong Chaozhong also stared at Link and said.

Xiong Chaozhong is 29 years old this year, 155 cm tall, and was originally a copper miner.

He entered the professional boxing world in 2006 and won the WBA/WBC/IBF mini lightweight Asian boxing championship. He is also the most famous boxer in the current domestic professional boxing world.

The next step is to go out of the Asian division of the four major organizations to compete for the international boxing champion title and get the qualification to challenge the world boxing champion.

Unlike Zou Shiming who came from the national team, his boxing skills mainly rely on natural strength and self-exploration, and he came from a wild way.

During training, he often watches foreign professional boxing matches and learns the competition methods of top boxers.

Because Link is famous and strong, he has always been at the top of the "Boxing Ring" P4P strength list.

Link is also one of the people Xiong Chaozhong often observes and learns from.

But watching the video tape has a disadvantage.

Because the boxer's punching speed is extremely fast, the camera lens on the scene often cannot keep up with the rhythm, resulting in blurred lenses, or the shooting angle on the scene is not ideal, and the learning effect is not good.

Today, he was shocked to see Link's game on the scene.

Link's punching speed is faster than it looks in the video tape, and his punches are more powerful. When he hits the opponent's body with one punch, the ripples on Beirut's skin and muscles can be clearly seen from the audience.

In addition, Link's combination punches and steps are very clever. Every attack and every step back are worth learning.

Xiong Chaozhong feels that Link deserves the title of "Grandmaster" in boxing.

"Link is only 22 years old, how can he be so powerful."

Zhang Zhilei, the heavyweight silver medalist of the 2008 Olympics, exclaimed.

Zou Shiming and Xiong Chaozhong, two older boxers, are also a little speechless. At their age, they are still competing in amateur boxing and intercontinental competitions.

But Link had already become the super middleweight champion at the age of 22, and now he was challenging for the world light heavyweight champion. He also earned 30 to 40 million US dollars in prize money for each match. He was indeed an amazing boxer.

Bang, bang, bang!

In the boxing ring, Link waved his fists and continued to launch a fierce attack on his opponent Beirut.

Left jab + right jab + straight punch + left jab.

Fists continuously hit Beirut's defense line.

At the beginning of the game, Beirut underestimated Link's punch weight and suffered from poor defense.

In the subsequent games, in order to prevent being hit again, he increased his defense.

His arms tightly protected his head, and his feet kept moving and changing positions to prevent Link from hitting his abdomen on both sides of his ribs.

While defending, he was also looking for an opportunity to counterattack and return the punch he had just received to Link.

It's a pity that Link's offensive method is very troublesome. One set of combination punches follows another, and the punches are endless, giving him no chance to counterattack.

And Link's offensive rhythm is also very annoying. If he holds his head and insists on defense without considering counterattack, Link will only hit his arms and attack his defense line.

If he dares to show a little counterattack, Link's fist will suddenly become fierce.

Not only attacking the arms and head, but sometimes also using liver-bursting punches and uppercuts.

Each move was more dangerous than the last, as if warning him not to fight back.

Because Link's punches were too fast and his punches were very lethal.

Every time Link gave a warning, he had to suppress his counterattack and defend himself.

This made him feel very frustrated.

He felt that Link had already taken control of the entire match, and he had to follow his rhythm. If he didn't, he would be beaten.

Beirut was unwilling to accept this.

He was the WBA light heavyweight world champion, and had defeated many powerful boxers of the same level. He had gone through untold hardships to get the WBA gold belt.

He would never give up this honor easily.

Now he was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Link to be exhausted.

In boxing matches, everyone knows a truth: attacking cannot last long, because people have limited physical strength, and continuous attacking consumes a lot of the body.

Now Link has punched more than 80 times in a row. This kind of continuous attack consumes more and more energy, and it is more difficult to persist.

This is his chance. As long as Link dares to relax his attack a little, he will swing his fist mercilessly and hit Link's face hard to avenge the punch just now.

At the same time, Link is the most popular and influential boxer in the world boxing world, and one of the boxers with the highest appearance fee.

As long as he can defeat him, he can become a world-famous boxer overnight, and the prize money will increase dozens of times.

Just like James Douglas, before defeating Tyson, he was just a heavyweight field, a boxer who was not outstanding, and each game had a prize of hundreds of thousands.

After defeating Tyson, he turned to compete with Evander Holyfield. Although he lost in the end, he also got a prize of 25 million US dollars.

If you can defeat Link in this game, you will have money, beautiful women, mansions, luxury cars, and everything.

Now you just need to defeat Link.

Beirut stared at Link across from him fiercely through the gap between his fists.

At this moment, his mentality is extremely firm. As long as he can defeat Link, he can realize all his dreams.

If you don't fight at this time, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life in the future.

"Hurrah!"

Feeling that Link's attack rhythm slowed down, Beirut did not waste the opportunity. He shouted "Kill" in Russian and swung his fist at Link.

Bang!

Link caught Beirut's fist with his right arm and took a step back.

Beirut is indeed a light heavyweight champion. His strength is indeed stronger than that of a champion with a false reputation.

The force of that punch just now was at least 1,200 pounds, which is no worse than that of a heavyweight intercontinental champion.

If he had taken the punch just now, he could have taken it steadily without taking a step back. But doing so was unnecessary and would have wasted his physical strength. It was a very stupid way of fighting.

And he took a step back, easily dissolving the opponent's punch, and also made the opponent waste his strength.

But in the eyes of ordinary spectators, this step was not simple.

What happened just now was that Beirut suddenly counterattacked and punched Link back a step, almost hitting the ropes. The situation was very intense.

Everyone thought Beirut was going to use a big move to recover from the previous disadvantage.

"Come on, Beirut!"

"Beirut! Ulla!"

Many of Link's black fans shouted loudly at the scene.

In addition to Tianxian fans, these people also included Nozomi Sasaki fans and Yui Niiro fans from Japan, Jun Ji-hyun fans from South Korea, and Girls' Generation fans.

Link didn't know where he had offended the fans of Girls' Generation.

Hundreds of boys held up the support signs of the nine idols of Girls' Generation and cheered for Beirut loudly, hoping that Beirut could represent them to defeat Link.

Bang, bang, bang!

In the boxing ring, Beirut bit his braces, glared, and waved his fists to hit Link one punch after another, giving full play to the fierce style of Russian boxing and tank-like offensive means.

"Too early! It's too early to counterattack!"

In the VIP area of ​​the boxing ring, De La Hoya slapped his thigh and shouted.

"If you don't counterattack now, when will you counterattack?"

Eddie Hearn asked back.

"It's best to do it after three rounds. Link has too much physical strength. If you want to knock him down, it's best to consume his physical strength to the maximum in the first few rounds and find an opportunity to counterattack after the third round."

Hoya said with a fist.

"Are you kidding? At the beginning of the game, Link punched Beirut and made him retreat three steps. You can see how strong he is. If you insist on three rounds and then counterattack, you will probably be beaten to death by him.

The best way is to fight him with fists in the first three rounds. ”

Eddie Hearn said.

Since Carl Franche lost to Link last time, the Arena Promotions Company has treated Link as its number one enemy, and often invited famous British boxers and gold medal coaches to hold seminars to study how to defeat Link.

But because Link has almost no shortcomings in terms of punch weight, speed, physical strength, technology, reaction ability, tactics, etc.

Everyone studied it many times, and the final conclusion was to fight with fists.

Because Link has never encountered a strong opponent, nor has he experienced the baptism of underground boxing matches, his fighting style is relatively gentle and lacks a sense of ruthlessness and iron blood.

So the best way is to use the most fierce and brutal fighting style to disrupt Link's rhythm and affect his game mentality.

There is no need to pay attention to any rules during the game, and don't worry about making mistakes. As long as you can beat him, all means can be used.

"It's hard! "

Hoya shook his head and said, "In boxing matches, the tactic of fighting is mainly used to deal with boxers of equal strength. Fighting can gain some chances of winning, but in this match, Beirut is obviously inferior to Link in other aspects except for his excellent punch weight and ability to withstand blows. He is not qualified to fight with Link."

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Beirut will never lose the game easily."

Eddie Hearn said, waving his fist.

Bang!

While talking, Beirut on the stage was using the hugging tactic to restrict Link, and suddenly violated the rules by hitting Link's nose with the top of his head. Link was caught off guard for a moment, and was hit in the chin when he dodged, with an obvious wound at the corner of his mouth.

Link backhanded a punch to Beirut's left rib side secretly. Beirut was hit and groaned, holding his arm tightly with both hands.

"Wow! "

There was a cry of surprise at the scene.

The audience cheered loudly, although the two sides had been fighting each other with great fanfare.

But for Hong Kong Island audiences who often watch martial arts movies, they still prefer more exciting hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing Beirut use illegal tactics in the game, he actually broke Link's mouth. It is rumored that Link rarely gets injured in the game, and he is known as the 'Golden Body Link'.

This time Beirut was able to break his golden body, which was so exciting.

Link's black fans shouted 'Come on Beirut, Fairy Sister is ours', 'Down with Link, long live Girls' Generation', and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated.

"Break! "

The referee came over to separate the two and gave Beirut a serious warning.

In boxing matches, using illegal tactics is a taboo, and penalties will be given according to the severity of the foul and the opponent's injuries.

For example, Tyson bit Holyfield's ear in the 1995 match, and even bit it to bleed. It was a big move and was directly judged as a loser.

And Holyfield also used illegal means many times in the game, such as the most common headbutt, repeatedly hitting Tyson's brow bone with his head during the hug, and scratching Tyson's face wound with his head during the hug again, causing the wound to expand. Big.

Because the moves used by Huo were more concealed, the referee did not stop the game, and Tyson was forced to go directly to the mouth.

And Huo used a headbutt in a boxing match. It was not the first time. In the match with "Rock" Hashim Rahman in 2002, he directly hit Hashim's forehead with a bump as big as an apple, and finally won the match.

Because Huo is bald, he often uses headbutts in the game. Boxing fans tease him that he has practiced "iron head skills" and call him "Shaolin monk".

This time, Beirut also used illegal moves against him in the game. His moves were more obvious. Obviously, the referee gave him a serious warning.

A serious warning is equivalent to a knockdown. If it happens two or three times, the referee has the right to directly declare him the loser.

After a headbutt, Link was also awakened by his opponent.

In the past games, he and his opponents fought more politely, at most using verbal attacks, and rarely using illegal means.

Over time, his vigilance has seriously decreased, and he almost forgot the bloody storm he had experienced in the underground boxing ring.

After a headbutt, he remembered that he is now the most popular and influential person in the world boxing world. Many people want to succeed by defeating him, and he has become the target of public criticism in the boxing world.

If he relaxes his vigilance too much and forgets the darkness in the boxing ring, he may become a stepping stone for others if he is not careful in the future.

So if you want to go further in boxing, you must be very alert in the future games, and you must not take it lightly and give the opponent a chance to take advantage of it.

Link clenched his fists and stared at Beirut opposite him quietly.

Beirut looked up and saw his deep eyes, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"Boxing! ”

The referee walked to the middle and waved his hand again to announce the start of the game.
