Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 535

Chapter 535 Competition prize money exceeds 100 million

Dang Dang Dang!

The second round began. Link shook off the water droplets on his bronzed muscles and walked towards James Toney with his fists raised amidst loud shouts from the boxing fans.

James Tony also stared with a pair of white eyes, staring into his eyes like an angry black bull.

"Boxing!"

The game continued. In this round, Link continued his main attack, left straight punch + right straight punch + left swing punch + right swing punch. His fists violently hit James Toney's upper position, without giving the opponent any chance to breathe.

He did this as a last resort.

In previous games, he liked to use the tactics of hitting up and down, hitting down and hitting up.

But that doesn't work against James Toney.

The opponent's abdominal flesh is relatively thick and has strong resistance to blows. If you hit him on the belly and chest with a boxing glove, the damage will be very small.

Since this move was useless, he could only concentrate on attacking the opponent's arms to defend himself, and try to hit the opponent's head with his fist to truly knock him down.

James Tony also knew this, so he put two thick elbows on his head to block his attack.

Bang bang bang bang!

Link punched the opponent more than ten times in succession, all of them on the opponent's left hand, causing the opponent to adjust the focus of defense to the left side and allocate his attention to the left side.

Wait until the opponent gets used to his style of play.

He suddenly changed his hand, and with a swift right punch, he knocked away James Tony's right arm defense like a thunderbolt, and with a bang, his fist hit the opponent's face.

James Tony was hit on the right side of the face, and he staggered immediately. Link followed up with a fierce uppercut, penetrating James Tony's defense from below, and hit the opponent's left chin again.

This punch was more vicious than the first punch, hitting James Toney directly on the jaw.

With a bang, James Tony's head shook suddenly, his eyes narrowed subconsciously, the sweat on his bald head bounced up a few millimeters, and the skin on his face also shook upwards.

James Tony took three steps backwards and bumped into the rope. His huge weight pressed the rope into an arc.

Seeing that James Toney was about to be pushed to the ring by the rebound force of the rope, James Toney, who was experienced in competitions, subconsciously hooked his arm on the rope and bent his knees. When he was about to kneel down, he hooked on the rope. Stand firm.

"Oh! Almost!"

"Come on Link!"

"James, hold on!"

There was a loud shout from the audience.

Before Link could continue to step forward to replenish his punches, the ring referee came over and called a 'timeout' and asked James how Tony was doing and did he need treatment?

Because James Toney was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

James Tony chewed his braces and said no, staring at Link fiercely.

"Boxing!"

The game continues.

"Hey, James is going to lose."

In the audience, Holyfield sighed.

"James is older and he might have had a little chance twenty years ago."

Hoya said, clapping his hands.

"James' comprehensive strength is considered to be at the upper-middle level in the heavyweight category. Link jumped to the next level and could injure James in the second round. Based on this situation, it is really possible for this guy to defeat all the heavyweight boxing champions and dominate the heavyweight division. ”

Holyfield said.

"Is it possible? Guys like the Klitschko brothers, Valuev, Alexander Povetkin, and Tyson Fury are much better than James Toney. It will be very difficult for Link to defeat them."

Hoya said.

Mainly in terms of height, Link's height and arm length are more than ten centimeters less than the above ones. During the game, he needs to be very close to the opponent to hit the opponent's vital points. This makes fighting very laborious and dangerous.

When the opponent hits him, he only needs to keep a distance from him, so he doesn't have to worry about being hit by him.

Just like today's game, Link's arms are 12 centimeters longer than James Toney, which makes him easier to fight.

"The Klitschko brothers are indeed very strong, but they are not much better than Link. Don't forget that Link is also a master tactician. He is young and has plenty of physical strength. Against the Klitschko brothers, he is at least half as good as winning percentage.”

Holyfield said.

"Hey, Evander, next time you compete with Link, how many rounds can you last in his hands?"

Tyson turned around and chewed his big gold teeth and asked.

Holyfield frowned and stared at Link on the stage. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a wow sound and many people at the scene started shouting.

Just now, Link broke through James Tony's defense with another combination of punches, and then hit James Tony's chin and forehead with two punches. James Tony was hit in the head one after another, and was beaten against the corner post, using hugging tactics. Holding Link.

When the referee was about to separate the two, James Tony suddenly stumbled and hit Link's chin with his forehead. Because he was short, he hit Link firmly.

Link took a step back after being hit, and there were obvious injuries on the corners of his mouth.

"stop!"

The referee stopped the game and asked about Link's situation. James Toney argued that he accidentally hit it and it was not intentional. He also took the initiative to apologize to Link.

After discussion among the five referees in the audience, James Tony was given a warning.

"Hehe!" James Tony grinned at Link.

Link wiped his chin and showed some smile. This smile was very warm, but it made James Tony break into a cold sweat on his back.

"start!"

The referee asked to continue, but Link didn't want to give his opponent time to rest. He continued to use combination punches to tear apart the opponent's defense, and then hit the opponent's vital parts with heavy punches. This time, he struck particularly fiercely.

Two consecutive punches hit James Tony's nose, causing the opponent's nose and mouth to bleed.

James Toney was also shown his ferocity and began to use small tricks, quietly hitting him with the head, and even using his weight advantage to charge savagely.

Link was not afraid of the opponent's tricks and hit the opponent's head with both fists one after another.

The two sides fought hand-to-hand, punching to the flesh, and the battle was intense and fierce.

The audience also stood up and cheered loudly, which was very enjoyable to watch.

Bang!

When James Toney hit the opponent's head for the ninth time in the second round, he finally failed to stand firm. He took two steps back and sat on the ground. Because he was too heavy, he struggled for six or seven seconds before he got up.

Dang Dang Dang!

The second round is over.

Rest for one minute and continue with the third round.

Link took advantage of James Tony's nosebleed to stop, and followed up with a few combination punches to tear apart the opponent's defense, and hit the opponent's face with a few punches, like striking iron, making the opponent dizzy.

At 12 seconds into the third round, James Toney was knocked down for the second time.

This time, he fell on his back and hit the ring hard, like a mountain of meat on the ground. The visual effect was full, and there were bursts of lively exclamations from the scene.

"His!"

"What a tragedy!"

Hoya blocked his eyes and couldn't bear to look.

"It's already good that James can make Link injured. Come on James!"

Holyfield shouted.

"James, stand up quickly! Don't give up easily."

Hopkins stood up and shouted.

"If you ask him to stand up like this, do you want to watch him be beaten to death by Link?"

Morales spat.

James Toney struggled in the ring for seven or eight seconds. When the referee was about to end the countdown, he stood up unsteadily, roared at Link, and smashed his bald head with his fist, with an expression like "You're going to kill me."

Link moved his mouth and waved his fist to attack.

At 32 seconds into the third round, Link once again used a rough combination of punches to break through James Tony's defense. He hit the side of the opponent's face with a swinging punch, followed by a straight punch that hit the opponent's bare forehead.

James Toney crashed to the ground again.

This time James Toney lay on the ring and struggled hard for a few times, but he couldn't even lift his neck. In the end, he could only lie down and admit defeat.

Link successfully won the game.

Professional record: 32 wins, 32 KOs in 32 fights.

Although this game is not a title fight, it is Link's first game in the heavyweight category.

Winning the game also means that he has established a foothold in the heavyweight field and has the strength to challenge the boxing champions of the four major organizations.

However, for the sake of safety, Frank and the coaching team suggested that he fight in more heavyweight matches to accumulate some experience against heavyweight boxers.

After thinking about it, Link agreed to their proposal.

When competing against James Toney, he could also feel that the heavyweight boxer's overall strength was stronger than the light heavyweight boxing champion. He was superior in terms of punch weight, fighting ability, and competition experience.

It only takes him two rounds to fight the light heavyweight champion, but it takes three rounds to defeat an ordinary heavyweight boxer.

This also shows that there are more masters in the heavyweight field and the competition is more difficult.

This is why heavyweight boxing is more popular.

It looks very enjoyable.

The promotion of this game was good. The cable PPV sold 3.28 million copies in North America and earned US$256 million. The revenue from online live broadcast, tickets, hotels, advertising sponsorships, etc. was approximately US$430 million.

Link, James Toney and the promotion company earned approximately $200 million, with Link ultimately earning $115 million.

This is also the third time that his income in a single game has exceeded 100 million.

This time his opponent is just an ordinary boxer without a title. If he fights against the boxing champions of the four major organizations, the income of the game will be higher.

This is why all boxers want to fight in the heavyweight division. The heavyweight competition is more intense, attracts more attention, and the income from the competition is higher than the average in other weight classes.

After the fight, Link continued to train, with a heavyweight fight and three light heavyweight title challenges ahead.

At present, he does not have a heavyweight belt, so he has not given up the light heavyweight belt. He can also earn hundreds of millions of dollars more by participating in the defense of the boxing title.
