Chapter 593 Grit your teeth and hold on
This event is spearheaded by the WBA boxing organization and is very large in scale and influence.
There will be a half-hour warm-up performance before the game, with singers such as lady Gaga, One Direction, and Drake invited to perform, as well as several top cabaret groups from Las Vegas.
After the performance, Link and Klitschko took the stage, and the game officially began.
“Boxing!”
The ring referee waved his arm.
Link and Klitschko touched their gloves and each took a step back. When Link was about to punch, Klitschko took the lead.
Klitschko is 39 years old this year. Although he is not in his golden age, he is still in his prime. His physical strength has not declined much. He punches very fast and his fists are very heavy. With a wingspan of 206 centimeters, if the opponent is not prepared, he will punch hard. It's easy to be knocked down by one punch from him.
Fortunately, Link carefully studied the opponent's boxing style and methods before the match.
Klitschko has first-class skills. Like his brother, he is an athlete trained during the Soviet period. His fighting style also inherits the style of the former Soviet boxing team, which is both powerful and tactical, and his fighting style is fierce.
Also, he has very good physical fitness, with speed, strength, and reaction ability.
Except for not being as good as the top black boxers in terms of fighting ability, there are almost no shortcomings in other aspects.
Facing such a nearly perfect opponent, Link did not intend to use sneak attacks or deceitful tactics to defeat the opponent. He would use upright boxing ring tactics to defeat the opponent and declare to everyone that he was qualified to dominate the heavyweight field.
Facing Klitschko's fist, Link sidestepped and then punched Klitschko in the left abdomen.
It's just that Klitschko is taller, has longer arms, has a wider attack range than Link, and stands farther away.
When Link punched, Klitschko only had to take half a step back to avoid it.
So it is difficult to hit the opponent.
After dodging his fists, Klitschko pressed forward, punched out with both fists, and attacked Link's head with intensive rhythm.
Link fought and retreated, and at the same time found opportunities to attack Klitschko and interrupt the opponent's rhythm.
In the first round, both sides traded offense and defense. Klitschko punched 154 times, hitting Link's shoulders and chest 12 times, and 0 times in the head. Link punched 102 times, hitting his opponent's chest and abdomen 17 times. Hit the opponent's head 0 times.
Judging from the situation in the first round alone, the outcome is unclear.
After a minute's rest, the game continued. This time Klitschko continued to maintain the rhythm of the first round, taking advantage of his arm length and speed to press Lin Ke, pressing step by step, trying to break Lin Ke with this method. Overcome the defense and expand the advantage.
After exchanging punches with the opponent for a few times, Link made some fine adjustments to his tactics. He still focused on defense, but was more active in attack, actively entering the opponent's attack range, and risking being hit. Find a way to hit the opponent in the head.
Originally, the fight between the two was very fierce in the first round. Now Link accelerated the attack pace and took the initiative to fight with the opponent. The game became more intense. The two sides punched back and forth in the boxing ring, and soon they were sweating.
The audience under the boxing ring also enjoyed watching it, and they shouted one after another.
"Link, hit hard! You are only one step away from the boxing champion of the four major organizations."
In the audience, Mario waved his fist and shouted.
“Hey, don't you hate Link? Why do you still cheer for him?”
Golden Reggie smiled.
“Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever hate Link?”
Mario said with a frown on his face.
Golden Reggie smiled and looked at Coach West, who was a little nervous next to him.
“Don't worry, Link will definitely win.”
"I understand, I just find it a bit incredible. I still remember meeting Link in a boxing bar in Miami in 2009. At that time, he was not an official boxer. It only took seven years for Link to fight from super middleweight to From light heavyweight to heavyweight champion, his growth rate is beyond imagination.”
Coach West looked at the powerful and fierce Link in the boxing ring and sighed.
"What does this mean? In the past seven years, Link has not only become the overlord of three levels, but also a superstar and a billionaire. There is no one better than him in the world."
Mario said.
“Yes, if you learn to flatter someone, it means you have become smarter.”
Golden Reggie chuckled.
"Shut up!"
Mario glared at him and continued to watch the match in the boxing ring.
At 87 seconds into the game, Klitschko took advantage of his arm length to knock Link's arm away with a swinging punch from the combo, and then hit Link's forehead with a jab. If Link hadn't dodged in time, he would have been injured. He'll get punched hard.
Just when Link was hit, his left uppercut also hit Klitschko's chin from bottom to top.
Klitschko was knocked backwards and quickly took two steps back.
Link took a step forward to approach Klitschko, and unleashed swift jabs, hitting him up and down, hitting Klitschko's chest and abdomen eight times in a row, and once on the side of Klitschko's face.
After Klitschko was beaten, he took the initiative to distance himself from him to prevent being hit by him again.
Link took advantage of the victory and pursued the opponent, approaching the opponent and continuing to launch a fast attack. However, this time Klitschko was on guard and defended with all his strength. Link punched more than 70 times, but only hit the opponent's body ten times, and failed to hit the opponent. head.
At the end of the second round, Link and Klitschko retreated to the corner to rest. While Link was replenishing water, he noticed Klitschko standing by the ring and discussing tactics with Klitschko.
“Link, this is the final showdown between heavyweights. Try to be more steady. Your physical strength is better than your opponent's, and your advantage will become greater in the second half of the fight.”
Coach Brooks said.
Link nodded and said "I understand". Although he is used to formulating his own tactics when playing games, he also attaches great importance to the opinions of the coaching team. Bystanders know that this is also the case in boxing matches.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The third round begins.
Originally, Link was prepared to follow Coach Brooks' advice and play more cautiously, but after his opponent came on stage, he turned into a defensive player. He held his fists in front of him, moved nimbly, and kept a distance of more than one meter from him. He seemed to be preparing to adopt a steady and steady tactic. .
Link tested it a few times and decided not to waste time with the opponent. He let go and attacked, hitting the opponent's arms with both fists one after another.
Klitschko's punches are no worse than his, but in terms of endurance and physical strength, Link believes that no one can match him.
He took full advantage of his physical strength and endurance to continuously throw heavy punches.
Bang, bang, bang!
At the 89th second of this round, he used a straight punch to break through Klitschko's defense and hit the opponent's left rib hard. The opponent groaned and subconsciously lowered his arm to block the left rib to prevent him from being hit again.
At this moment, Link followed up with a left hook, and his fist hit Klitschko's side of the face steadily with a sound of breaking wind.
Klitschko was beaten so hard that he took a step back and hit the ropes.
Link sees that his opponent has not fallen to the ground, so he chases after him and takes the opportunity to expand the victory. It is best to knock down the opponent in one fell swoop.
But Klitschko has a lot of experience in competitions. When he had no time to defend, he used hugging tactics to restrict Link's fists.
“Break!” The referee intervened.
Klitschko let go of his arms and took a step back. Link also shook the sweat off his arms and stared at his opponent closely.
“Vladimir, hold on!”
Klitschko shouted in Russian from the audience.
Little Klitschko looked at Link with a bit of cruelty on his face.
In terms of emotional management, Xiao Ke is obviously not as good as Dake.
Link didn't care what the opponent's expression was. When he saw the referee indicating that the game should continue, he immediately approached the opponent and launched a strong attack. He punched the opponent's arms with one punch after another. He did not spare any effort and was not afraid of excessive consumption.
At this moment, he only thinks about winning.
Bang!
Punching 53 times in a row, Link took advantage of the opponent's lack of defense and once again used a right swing punch to hit the side of the opponent's face.
Klitschko was hit on the head and tossed, sweat trembled from his short hair, and his body's center of gravity shifted.
Seeing that Klitschko was about to use the rope to steady his steps, Link took advantage of his speed and caught up with him and punched Klitschko in the body.
Bang!
Klitschko failed to stabilize this time and fell heavily on the ring.
“God, that's great.”
“Well done, Link.”
“Link, the **** of boxing.”

Link also sweated a lot because of the high frequency of attacks, which consumed a lot of physical energy.
In the fourth round, Klitschko continued to put on a defensive posture, ready to fight to the end.
Link gritted his teeth and persisted, continuing to use his advantages in speed and physical strength to attack his opponent, without intending to save energy.
At 134 seconds into the game, Link once again broke through the opponent's defense and hit Klitschko's chin with an uppercut.
uga! Klitschko's teeth, despite being protected by braces, made a clear clicking sound.
Klitschko staggered a few steps and tried to steady his body. Unfortunately, the impact of the punch was too great, which made Klitschko dizzy and fell to the stage again.
“Well done, Link!”
“Link, fight like this!”
When Klitschko fell to the ground, the boxing fans in the audience stood up and shouted loudly, come on.
