Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Want to wear the crown

Link's speech at Madison Garden Arena was released by the media, and it was like dropping a bomb, and the entire world boxing world was shocked.

After the Olympics, Link's fame has already broken through geographical restrictions and spread to the world boxing world. Many people know him.

After hearing that he had switched to professional boxing, everyone paid a high degree of attention to his game and wanted to see the performance of this Olympic champion.

After everyone got up, they opened the newspaper and wanted to see how Link made his debut, but instead they saw news like this.

The front-page news headline of the New York Post was 'Olympic champion Link Baker once again made wild claims that he would sweep all his opponents within 100 seconds'.

The subtitle is 'He doesn't think former world boxing champions Mikkel Kessler, Lucian Bute, Andre Ward, or even Joe Calzaghe can last 100 seconds in his hands'.

The headline on the front page of "USA Today" is, 'Link issues KO warning to the world'; the subtitle is 'Link warns all super middleweight boxers in the world, hoping they will give up the game and stop competing with him for the gold belt. Otherwise he'll KO them all'.

The headline of the sports section of "American Express" is 'Why did Joe Calzaghe suddenly announce that he gave up all his belts? Link Baker says it's because of him'

The subtitle is 'Link believes that the best tribute to Joe Calzaghe is to defeat him in the game and express regret for Joe's announcement to give up the gold belt'.

Everyone is a little confused when they see these news headlines.

Why do you want to beat everyone in 100 seconds?

What scared Calzaghe to give up the gold belt?

　What KOs the whole world?

Is Link crazy?

Everyone just wants to see how Link's game goes, whether he wins or loses, and which round he wins.

Why are the newspapers full of these news?

Is it a gimmick or a fact?

Everyone opened the newspaper and eagerly read the following news content. At first, they thought it was a trick of the newspaper and used this headline to attract readers' attention.

After reading the content, I found that it was not the case at all.

Those titles can only show one side of Link's speech, and the content of his speech is more eye-catching than the titles.

This news is too sensational.

In less than a day, it was reprinted and reported by several large newspapers in Europe and Asia, including Germany's "Bild", the British "Guardian" and "The Times", France's "Le Monde", Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun", etc.

Several media reporters interviewed several named parties over the phone.

Joe Calzaghe said that Link's statement is interesting, but not true. The reason why he announced that he would give up the gold belt was because he wanted to focus on the light heavyweight, not because of Link.

The "Times" reporter asked Joe Calzaghe whether he would fight Link if he challenged him in the future.

Joe Calzaghe said he wouldn't take no for an answer.

The reporter asked Calzaghe again what he thought of Link's statement that he should defeat all opponents at the same level within 100 seconds.

Calzaghe laughed and said it was funny, but he didn't think Link could do it, and no one could do it.

A reporter from "Le Monde" also interviewed former boxing champion Mikkel Kessler, currently ranked among the top three super middleweights in the WBA organization and the most promising to regain the WBA gold belt, and asked him what he thought about Link's threat to fight in 100 seconds. Defeat all opponents of the same level within a short period of time and dominate the super middleweight class?

Mikol said, "Linkback? I know that guy, he fought well in the Olympics, but this is a professional boxing world, and he thinks everything is too simple."

A reporter from "Le Monde" asked Mikol if they could meet in the future, would he be confident that he could defeat Link?

Mikol shrugged his shoulders and said: "He wants to fight me? First he has to defeat Andre Ward, Jermaine Taylor, and Jean Pascal and win the American gold belt before he is qualified to fight with me. I will fight. If he is lucky enough to get this qualification, I will definitely teach him how to speak with my fists."

Other media reporters also interviewed Armenian boxing champion Arthur Abraham, British Carl French, American Andre Ward and others.

These people also have fiery tempers. When they heard that Link claimed to defeat them in 100 seconds, they were all irritated. They said that Link was a talker and only talked big words. If they could meet him in the game, they would definitely win. He will give him a hard lesson with his fists and teach him how to behave in a low-key manner.

“Look, Link, look at this newspaper, and this, and this, Mikkel, Andrei, Calzaghe, Pascal, all of them are **** off by you.”

In the car, Dino Dua shook the newspaper in his hand and said. "so what?"

"How about it?!"

Dino was stunned for a moment, "Link, you have angered everyone, and everyone will be your enemy next. Do you know that you are an enemy of the whole world?"

Link shook his head, "What is the purpose of our game?"

“Get the golden belt!”

Dino said.

"That's right, since I want to be the king in the boxing world, these people will be our opponents sooner or later, sooner or later, does it make any difference? If I don't offend them and am polite to them, will they bow to me? "

Link asked.

Dinotua opened his mouth and said this, but that was not what happened.

A normal person's idea is that if you want to offend people, it's best to offend them one by one, and then eliminate them one by one and defeat them one by one. How can you be as reckless as Link, who offends his colleagues all over the world with his words? Be the enemy of the whole world.

This guy is definitely not in his right mind.

“Don't you feel a lot of pressure?”

Dino really wanted to get a microphone to interview him.

Hearing this question, Link suddenly remembered a famous saying, which seemed to be very suitable for his current situation, so he pretended to sigh deeply: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!"

　　唰! Everyone in the nanny car looked at him and felt that he should not be a boxer, but a philosopher.

“Link, this is a great thing to say. When you have time, teach me how to speak so that I can be as cool as you.”

Morales bared his white teeth and smiled.

“Do you want to be beaten to death?”

Dino asked with a sideways glance.

Morales opened his mouth, okay, it is indeed too risky to speak like Link, and not everyone can say this.

Link shook his head. The reason why he said this and made such bold remarks to reporters was not to pretend to be cool or to make some big news. He just wanted to push himself.

After recently coming to New York, or becoming a multi-millionaire and Olympic champion, he found that he was a little slack, and distracting thoughts began to appear in his mind. When practicing boxing, he would inexplicably miss women, and wanted to put aside training and go hang out with women. Sometimes I can't sleep at night.

Before the Olympics, this situation rarely happened.

After thinking about it, I guess it was probably after the Olympics, when I achieved some results and made some money, the pressure on my body was reduced, my motivation was reduced, and my tense mind and body unknowingly relaxed.

This is not a good phenomenon.

In order to solve this problem, he is going to add some pressure to himself.

Since the opponents in the qualifying round were too weak to put pressure on him, he came up with this idea to challenge everyone. He would fight against the odds and defeat everyone in 100 seconds or embarrass himself.

If you don't want to be embarrassed, you can only train hard, compete hard, and cherish every second on stage as your own dignity and honor. If you exceed 100 seconds, you will be disgraced.

So if you want to succeed, you must first learn to dig a hole for yourself.
