Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 562

Chapter 562: Reversal of the game in 80 seconds

The competition is about to begin.

In the boxing ring, Link and Deontay Wilder stood face to face. When they went to China to participate in the Olympic Games in 2008, the two trained together and were considered old acquaintances.

In the past few years, although we have not met each other, we have seen news about each other in the media.

Deonta has participated in 30 heavyweight boxing matches from 2008 to this year. Each match ended within 4 rounds. All matches were won by KO. There were also six matches where the referee took the initiative because the opponent was too injured. Stop the game.

From this point of view, Deonta's fists are very heavy and very lethal.

Ordinary boxers could not last more than one round in his hands, and those who persisted until the fourth round would have their faces stained with blood at the end of the game.

As one of the taller boxers, many compared him to George Foreman.

He's actually better than Foreman.

George Foreman is a big man, tall and long-armed, with heavy fists, but his fat body not only enhances his ability to resist blows, but also makes him slower, and his combat method is similar to that of a Tiger heavy tank.

This shortcoming also caused him to lose to Ali in 1974, Jimmy Young in 1978, and Holyfield in 1991.

Compared with George Foreman, Deonta is 2.0cm tall and weighs only 224 pounds. He is lighter and stronger than many basketball players of the same height.

During the competition, he is faster than the light heavyweight boxing champion and has flexible feet. He is also very good at taking advantage of his height and arm length to hit long-range quick strikes. Once he hits the opponent, he will quickly withdraw to allow the opponent to counterattack. Failed, its combat method is similar to that of a Panther tank, with high flexibility and heavy lethality.

When George Foreman meets Deontay Wilder during his undefeated victory, there is a 60% chance that he will lose.

Facing a powerful opponent like Deontay Wilder, Link hesitated before the game whether to meet the opponent now. What if he lost?

After hesitating, he chose to attack. Although Deonta was very strong, he was no worse than him in terms of comprehensive boxing quality. As long as he dealt with it seriously, he would have a great chance of defeating his opponent.

If you choose to escape this time and become afraid of your opponent, the mentality and momentum of the game will be greatly affected.

Since he entered the boxing world in 2008, he has faced difficulties, gained strength when encountering strong opponents, and won many battles. He has already developed a fearless and invincible aura in his heart. This aura not only affects his performance in boxing, but also in the field of boxing. Music, movies, etc. also have a great influence.

If you choose to retreat and escape at this time, your invincibility and fearlessness will become "fearful", and your strength will be greatly affected.

So he chose to fight Deontay Wilder.

When studying the opponent's strengths, he also discovered the opponent's shortcomings, or shortcomings to be precise.

Although Deonta has the advantages of height and arm length, flexible speed, and the heavy punch of the heavyweight class, his boxing skills are rough and his combination punches are poor. He often runs away with one punch. He is like an assassin and lacks the skills of a boxing master. momentum.

Also, because he is very powerful offensively, he usually focuses on strengthening his offense during training. He does very poorly on the defensive end. When attacked by his opponent, he mainly escapes and does not dare to fight face to face.

Also because of his rough skills and mediocre defensive end, he was unable to control the rhythm of the game, let alone tactics.

This is also the shortcoming of all big boxers. They rely on their physical advantages to be lazy in training, do not pay attention to boxing skills, let alone study ring tactics and grasp the rhythm of the game.

This kind of boxer can often successfully win the match when facing an opponent who is weaker than himself. Once he faces a boxer who is stronger and has slightly better skills than himself, he will be defeated immediately and lacks the quality to defeat the strong with the weak.

The most attractive part of boxing is the 'counterattack', the upset, the weak defeating the strong.

Link remembered that Deontay had won every fight before he met Tyson Fury. After meeting Tyson Fury, who was taller and stronger than him, he was knocked out two times in a row, and then lost to New Zealand boxer Joseph Parker. He was knocked out by Chinese boxer Zhang Zhilei and has been in ruins ever since.

Although he knows that his opponent has obvious shortcomings in boxing, Link will not despise his opponent because of this. He will only use his opponent's shortcomings to increase his own advantages and try to win the game cleanly and beautifully.

"Hey, Link, it's definitely an unwise decision for you to choose to fight me at this time."

Deontay Wilder grinned.

"I don't think so."

"Hey, you'll change your mind soon."

Deonta said, pumping his fist.

Dang Dang Dang!

The game bell rang, and the referee raised his arm and swung it down hard.

"Boxing!"

The game started. Before Link could make any tentative moves, Deonta took the lead and punched him in the face. From top to bottom, he was extremely fast and his fist was very fierce. Even if Link quickly turned sideways, His head was avoided, and his hair was hit by the opponent's glove, and he just missed hitting his head.

"Whoa!"

Seeing Deonta almost hitting Link's head, the audience let out a burst of exclamations, some were frightened, and some felt sorry.

Deonta missed a hit and immediately took two steps back to observe the situation.

Link raised his fists and approached Deonta, trying a set of combo punches. Due to the height difference, if he wanted to hit the opponent's head, he needed to get closer to the opponent, and approaching Deonta was very fast. , a person whose fists are very lethal is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.

It's the equivalent of rolling under a tank and setting up explosives.

Link needs a chance to hit his opponent.

Deonta saw that several of his punches missed, and he grinned with an excited look on his face.

"Deonta, kill Link, and you will be the best boxer in the world."

Deonta's assistant yelled from the audience.

Deonta jumped up and waved his fist again, shooting left and right at Link's head, each time faster and harder.

Link remained calm in the face of danger, constantly lowering his head, turning sideways, and squatting down, narrowly avoiding Deonta's killing moves again and again. His reaction speed was extremely fast and his movements were very flexible.

The audience watched the two fighting and kept screaming.

Deonta's offensive moves are very single. He prefers straight punches and jabs. He goes straight with few changes. He is not good at using combination punches to break through the opponent's defense and dodge to create opportunities to hit the opponent.

After ten consecutive failed attacks, Deonta became a little impatient and pumped his fists faster and harder, trying to force Link to the ropes or corners so that Link could not dodge.

Seeing that Link was about to hit the ropes, he quickly took a big step back, and his back hit the ropes directly. Deonta's rhythm was immediately disrupted, and he quickly accelerated towards Link and struck Link on the head with his fist.

However, when the opponent changed his moves in the middle, Link quickly stepped forward to close the distance with his opponent, and used a swift and violent liver-blasting punch to hit Deonta's left ribs hard.

Deontay is taller and faster than George Foreman, but has less body fat, which also makes him less effective in taking hits.

Bang!

Link's punch hit Deonta's left ribs firmly. Deonta grunted, his fist attack movement deformed, and his steps involuntarily moved backwards.

Link was relentless and followed quickly, lowering his head to avoid the oncoming straight punch, and then hit the opponent's abdomen with a heavy punch. Regardless of Deonta's reaction, he followed up with a right hook based on his feeling. Fisting.

Bang!

Feeling that his fist hit the target, Link wanted to add another punch, but saw Deonta on the other side suddenly staggered and fell on his back on the ring.

"Stop!" the referee shouted.

The audience stared blankly at the match in the boxing ring. After two seconds, they saw Deonta lying on the ground and screamed.

This exclamation was louder and louder than before, full of surprise and disbelief.

Many people stood up from their seats to watch.

"How is that possible?!"

"Killed Deonta in just over eighty seconds?"

"Didn't you say we were evenly matched?"

In the audience, Mike Tyson, James Toney, De La Hoya, Hopkins, Chris Bird and others looked at Deontae who fell on the stage in shock.

Because Deonta is tall, has long arms, fierce fists, and flexible speed, like Link, he is also an unbeatable boxer with an excellent mentality.

They thought that Deonta had a great chance of defeating Link. Even if he lost, he would go through twelve rounds and lose the game on points.

But what happened in front of them was very different from what they imagined. Deonta only lasted for more than 80 seconds before he was knocked to the ground by Link.

clean! Clean! Beyond imagination!

Link hasn't broken a sweat yet and seems to be playing very easily.

"Is there such a big gap between the two of them?"

Mike Tyson looked at George Foreman in surprise.

Forman was also stunned for a moment, spread his arms and propped himself up on the chair.

"The gap is indeed huge. We only see Link bullying old boxers, but we forget that he is faster than Deontay, and his punching weight is not inferior to Deontay, and his skills, combination punches, and tactics are all better than Deontay's. Deontay is stronger.

The only thing he seems to be inferior to is his height and long arms, and Link is a man who knows tactics very well. He has defeated the strong in the ring many times, so this shortcoming is nothing to him. "

"You mean Link will win?"

Mike Tyson frowned and looked at Deonta, who had already stood up.

"Link defeated Deontay in only 80 seconds, which shows that he saw Deontay's flaw and had a great chance of winning. However, Deontay also has a chance. If his mentality is good enough and he can adjust quickly, learn from the previous lessons and play steadily, he can also You may not lose.”

George Foreman said.

"Can Deonta adjust?"

Tyson looked uncertainly at the ring.

"This, this is too fierce!"

In the seat not far away, De La Hoya looked at Link with a shocked expression. Before the game, he saw that Link was much worse than Deonta, and thought that Link would suffer his first professional defeat here.

But after the game started, Link put into a tight defensive formation, and then used the elasticity of the rope to quickly get close to Deonta and hit Deonta in the left rib with a punch.

Then, while Deonta's foothold was not stable, he continued to attack to expand his results.

The last unexpected uppercut hit Deonta directly and fell on his back.

This wave of hand-to-hand combat looks simple, but is actually very complicated.

Each of Link's moves contains his tactical thinking about the game, his super tactical execution ability, and his exquisite ability to grasp the opportunity of fighting, firmly controlling the rhythm of the game in his hands.

As for the game at hand, no one except Link can formulate this tactic of defeating the strong with the weak and defeating the big with the small. Even if there is a coach who can formulate this tactic, no one can execute it as perfectly as Link.

De La Hoya shook his head helplessly. After Link became the super middleweight hegemon, he rarely saw Link using ring tactics, thinking that his ability in this area was weakened. Now it seems that is not the case at all.

It was because the previous opponent was too weak and Link could defeat it without any tactics.

But this time he used tactics again and knocked down Deonta, who was no weaker than him, in just 80 seconds.

With Link's current performance, he can be called the elite of the elite, the 'boxing master'.

"Great job, Link!"

Next to him, Frank stood up excitedly, raised his hands above his head, and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Isn't it a bit incredible?"

Morales grinned and looked at Hoya, "I really don't understand why you thought Link would lose before the game? Oh, I understand. It's because Link has been relatively soft in the ring in the past few years and likes to use positions. Fighting style, defeating the opponent bit by bit, but you forget that Link is a very cunning person. Think about the 2008 Golden Gloves Championship, this guy used those little tricks to fool us. Since then, none of us have Dare to underestimate him."

Hoya frowned, remembering that in order to deal with Link in the past, he arranged for people to interview Link's opponents. Everyone said that Link was cunning and cunning, and his mouth was very poisonous. If he was not allowed to speak, his strength would be reduced by 30%.

In recent years, Link rarely plays tricks in the ring, and rarely uses words to disturb his opponent's mind.

But this doesn't mean that this guy can't use it. Maybe this guy has used it too much and has become more skillful and hidden.

Hoya sighed secretly, and had to admit that he had underestimated Link this time, forgetting that Link also had the title of 'Master of Boxing Tactics', and that Link was once the best at defeating the strong with the weak.

Just to deal with this guy, those who are weaker than him cannot defeat him, and those who are stronger than him cannot match his tactics.

So who in the boxing world can beat him?

Alexander Povetkin? Tyson Fury? Klitschko?

How sad it is to live in the same era as such a guy!

"Link, come on!"

Morales shouted, raising his fists.
