Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 443

Chapter 443 During the game (8/10)

 Bang bang bang!

Link succeeded with one punch and no longer hesitated. He chased after him and used the rope to punch his opponent in two consecutive combinations.

 Five out of eight punches.

Beirut was beaten until Beirut held his head tightly with both arms and was unable to fight back.

Beirut could not get rid of his attack and could only implement hugging tactics, wrapping his arms tightly around his shoulders.

 “Break!”

 The referee came over to separate the two men.

Link took a step back to end the first round of attack.

 “It's too fierce, Link's attack speed is faster than what you see on the video tape.”

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

 When Link used the combo punch, he couldn't help but follow up with a few punches.

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

He is thirty years old this year, but he is still playing in amateur competitions, mainly because professional boxers cannot participate in the Olympics.

 For this reason, he needs to switch to professional boxing after the London Olympics next year.

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

This time Link is holding a boxing match on Hong Kong Island. After hearing the news, he was planning to take time off to watch, but he gained more from watching at the scene.

Later, when the boxing team leader 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 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 from a position close to the ring.

 Zou Shiming was quite shocked after seeing Link's game live.

Link's fists were very fierce. The first punch just now was like an electric drill. With an extremely fierce attitude, it unreasonably broke through Beirut's arm and hit the opponent's face.

 Ordinary people see this punch and think it's nothing. It's just a punch to the face, which is what couples can do in normal fights.

 But for boxing veterans like them, they know how difficult this punch is.

 First of all, boxing gloves are relatively large. Not only are they elastic, but they also increase the area of ​​the fist. It is like using a cotton swab to poke the cloth and using a toothpick to poke the cloth. There is no doubt that the former is more difficult to do.

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

 The opponent's defensive ability is strong, which 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, there is not much difference in strength. It is very difficult to find the opponent's flaws and knock down the opponent in the competition.

If the heavyweight world boxing champion were allowed to attack ordinary people, he could almost knock them down with one punch.

In this match, Link's opponent is the WBA light heavyweight world boxing champion. He is a top boxer who has experienced many competitions and is quite good.

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

“It was indeed very powerful. He knocked the light heavyweight boxing champion back three steps with one punch. The punch must have weighed at least 1,200 pounds. It was too strong.”

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

Xiong Chaozhong is 29 years old and 155 centimeters tall. He was originally a copper miner.

Entered professional boxing in 2006 and has won the WBA/WBC/IBF mini lightweight Asian regional boxing championship. He is currently the most famous boxer in domestic professional boxing.

The next step is for him to go out of the Asian divisions of the four major organizations, compete for the international boxing title, and become qualified to challenge the world boxing champion.

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

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

Because Link is well-known and powerful, he has always topped the P4P strength list of "Boxing Ring".

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

 There is one drawback to just watching the tape.

Since boxers punch extremely fast, the live camera footage often cannot keep up with the rhythm, resulting in blurry footage, or unsatisfactory live shooting angles, and poor learning results.

Watching Link's game live today, he was very shocked.

Link's punches were faster and harder than those seen in the video. One punch hit the opponent's body, and the ripples on Beirut's skin and muscles could be clearly seen in the audience.

Also, Link's combination of punches and steps are very clever. Every attack and every step back is worth learning.

Xiong Chaozhong feels that Link can be called a 'grandmaster' in boxing.

“Link is only 22 years old, how can he be so powerful?”

 08 Olympic heavyweight silver medalist Zhang Zhilei 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 at the age of 22, Link had already become the super middleweight hegemon, and now he is challenging for the light heavyweight world championship. He also earns 30 to 40 million US dollars in prize money for each game. He is indeed an amazing boxer. hand.

 Bang, bang, bang!

On the boxing ring, Link waved his fists and continued to launch fierce attacks on his opponent Beirut.

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

 Hands of fists hit Beirut's defense line continuously.

At the beginning of the game, Beirut suffered from a loose defense because he underestimated the weight of Link's punch.

 In subsequent games, in order to prevent being hit again, he increased his defensive efforts.

Tightly protect your head with both arms, and keep shifting your feet to prevent Link from hitting his ribs and abdomen.

While defending, he was also looking for opportunities to fight back and return the punch he just received to Link.

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

The rhythm of Link's attack is also very annoying. If he holds his head and insists on defending without thinking about counterattack, Link will just hit his arms and attack his defense line.

If he dares to show any movement to fight back, Link's fists will suddenly become fierce.

 Not only attacks the arms and head, but also sometimes uses liver punches and uppercuts.

Each move is more dangerous than the last, seeming to warn him not to fight back.

 Because Link's punches are too fast and their punches are very lethal.

Every time Link issued a warning, he had to suppress his counterattack and guard against it.

This made him feel very frustrated.

It feels like Link has taken control of the entire game, and I have to follow his rhythm. If I don't follow his rhythm, I will get beaten.

Beirut is unwilling to do this.

He is the WBA light heavyweight world boxing champion. He has defeated many powerful boxers at the same level and went through all kinds of hardships to win this WBA gold belt.

 He will never hand over this honor easily.

 Now he is only waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity where Link is exhausted.

In boxing matches, everyone knows that attacking cannot last long. This is because people's physical strength is limited, and continuous attacks consume a lot of money on the body.

Now Link has punched more than eighty times in a row. This continuous attack becomes more and more depleted as it goes on, making it harder to persevere.

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

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

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

Just like James Douglas, before he defeated Tyson, he was only an unremarkable boxer in the heavyweight field, with hundreds of thousands of bonuses per game. After defeating Tyson, he turned to compete with Evander Holyfield. Although he lost in the end, he also received a bonus of 25 million US dollars.

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

 Now you just need to defeat Link.

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

At this moment, his mentality was extremely determined. As long as he could defeat Link, he could realize all his dreams.

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

 “Hurrah!”

Feeling that Link's attack rhythm was slowing down, Beirut did not waste the opportunity. He yelled "kill" in Russian and hit Link hard with his fist.

　　Bang!

Link caught Beirut's fist with his right arm and couldn't help but take a step back.

Beirut is worthy of being the light heavyweight boxing champion, and his strength is indeed stronger than that of boxing champions who are just in name only.

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

If he had received the punch just now, he could have caught it firmly without taking a step back, but doing so was unnecessary and would have been a waste of energy. It was a very stupid way of playing.

 And he took a step back, easily neutralizing the opponent's punch and causing the opponent to waste his energy.

 In the eyes of ordinary viewers, this step is not simple.

The situation just now was that Beirut suddenly counterattacked and punched Link so hard that he took a step back and almost hit the ropes. The situation was very intense.

Everyone thinks that Beirut is preparing to make bigger moves to recover from its previous disadvantage.

 “Come on Beirut!”

 “Beirut! Hurrah!”

There were many Link's anti-fans shouting loudly.

In addition to Tian Xian fans, these people also include Nozomi Sasaki fans and Shinheng Yui fans from Japan, Jun Ji Hyun fans from South Korea, and Girls' Generation fans.

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

Hundreds of boys held signs of support for the nine idols of Girls' Generation and loudly cheered for Beirut, hoping that Beirut could defeat Link on their behalf.

 Bang, bang, bang!

On the boxing ring, Beirut gritted his teeth, with angry eyes, swinging his fists and punching Link one after another, giving full play to the fierce style of Russian boxing and tank-like attack methods.

 “It's 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 we don't fight back now, when will we fight back?”

 Eddie Hearn turned around and asked.

“It's best to do it after three rounds. Link's energy is too strong. If you want to knock him down, it's best to consume his energy to the maximum in the first few rounds and find an opportunity to counterattack after the third round.”

Hoya said with his fists clenched.

“Are you kidding me? At the beginning of the game, Link punched Beirut and knocked him back three steps. You can also see how strong he is. If he persists for three rounds and then fights back, he will probably kill him.

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

Eddie Hearn said.

Ever since Carl French lost to Link last time, the Arena Promotion Company has treated Link as its number one enemy and often invites famous British boxers and gold medal coaches to hold seminars to study how to defeat Link.

 Because Link has almost no shortcomings in punching weight, speed, physical strength, technology, reaction ability, tactics, etc.

 We have studied it many times, and the final conclusion is to fight.

 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-bloodedness.

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

There is no need to pay attention to any rules during the game, let alone worry about making mistakes. As long as you can defeat him, all means can be used.

 “It's hard!”

De La Hoya shook his head and said, "In boxing matches, the tactic of boxing is mainly used against boxers of equal strength. Boxing can gain some chances to win. But for this game, Beirut, in addition to boxing weight and He is relatively good in fighting ability, but is obviously inferior to Link in other aspects. He is not qualified to compete with Link.”

“If you don't believe it, just wait and see, Beirut will never lose the game easily.”

Eddie Hearn said, shaking his fist.

　　Bang!

As he was talking, Beirut was using hugging tactics to restrain Link on the stage, and suddenly hit the bridge of Link's nose with his head in violation of regulations. Link was not prepared for the moment, and was hit on the chin while dodging, and there was an obvious wound at the corner of his mouth.

Link's backhand punch hit Beirut's left rib side covertly. Beirut grunted and held his arm tightly with both hands.

"Wow!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the scene.

The audience cheered loudly, even though the two sides had punched each other before, and the fight was lively.

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

Seeing Beirut using illegal tactics during the game, he even broke the corner of Link's mouth. It is said that Link rarely gets injured in the game, and he is known as the "Golden Body Link".

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

Link's anti-fans shouted, "Come on Beirut, the fairy sister is ours" and "Down with Link, long live Girls' Generation", and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

 “Break!”

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

In boxing matches, using illegal tactics is taboo, and penalties will be determined based on the severity of the foul and the injury of the opponent.

For example, Tyson bit Holyfield's ear in the 1995 match, and it even bled. It was a big move and was directly ruled a loss.

Holyfield also used illegal methods many times during the game, such as the most common headbutt, hitting Tyson's brow bone with his head during the hug, and scratching the wound on Tyson's face with his head when hugging again. Let the wound expand.

Since the moves used by Lao Huo were relatively hidden, the referee did not stop the game. Tyson was forced to speak directly.

This is not the first time that Lao Huo has used a headbutt in a boxing match. In the 2002 match with 'The Rock' Hashim Rahman, he directly knocked out a bump as big as an apple on Hashim's forehead, and he won in the end. Contest.

Also because Lao Huo is bald and often uses headbutts in matches, boxing fans ridiculed him for having practiced "Iron Head Kung Fu" and called him "Shaolin Monk".

This time Beirut also used illegal moves against him during the game. His actions were quite obvious, and the referee issued a serious warning to him.

 A serious warning is equivalent to a knockdown, and after two or three more strikes, the referee has the right to award a direct loss.

　　After receiving a headbutt, Link was also woken up by his opponent.

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

 As time passed, his vigilance dropped severely, and he almost forgot about the **** storm he had experienced in the underground boxing ring.

After eating a hammer, he remembered that he was now the most popular and influential person in the world boxing world. Many people wanted to succeed in defeating him, and he became a target in the boxing world.

If you relax your vigilance too much and forget about the darkness in the boxing ring, you may become a stepping stone for others if you are not careful in the future.

Therefore, if you want to go further in boxing, you must be very energetic in future matches and must not take it lightly and give the opponent a chance to take advantage of the loopholes.

Link clenched his fists and stared quietly at Beirut across from him.

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 again to announce the start of the game.
