Chapter 443: When the Game is in progress (8/10)
Added 2024-09-17 14:25:44 +0000 UTCBoom boom boom!
Link succeeded with a punch, and he no longer hesitated. He caught up and used the action of the rope to swing his fist towards the opponent and hit two sets of combined punches in succession.
Five punches in eight punches.
He was beaten with his arms tightly around his head, and he had no power to fight back.
Beirut couldn't get rid of his offense, so he could only implement hugging tactics and hug his shoulders tightly with his arms.
“Break!”
The referee came over to separate the two.
Link took a step back and ended the first round of offense.
“It's too fierce. Link's offensive speed is faster than it looks on the tape.”
In the vip area of the boxing ring, Olympic champion Zou Shiming wore glasses and stared at Link on the boxing ring.
When Link resorted to a combination of punches, he couldn't help but wave his fists a few times.
Zou Shiming was the third runner-up in the 48 kg class at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the Olympic champion in the 48 kg class of men's boxing in 2008.
He is 30 years old this year, but he is still playing amateur competitions, the main reason is that professional boxers cannot participate in the Olympic Games.
For this reason, he needs to transfer to professional boxing after the London Olympics next year.
Zou Shiming has been paying attention to Link's boxing since the 2008 Olympics. He used to be busy training and didn't have time to fly abroad to watch.
This time Link held a boxing match on Hong Kong Island. After seeing the news, he was going to take a leave of absence to come and watch. He gained more from watching on the spot.
Later, after the leaders of the boxing team heard about it, they waved their hands and sent a stack of tickets, announcing that the top three in all weight classes could go to the scene to watch the fight.
Zou Shiming is the first person in amateur boxing in China and a representative of boxing. He is also arranged to watch from a position close to the boxing ring.
After seeing Link's game at the scene, Zou Shiming was more shocked.
Link's fist was very fierce. The first punch was like an electric drill just now. With an extremely fierce posture, he broke the opponent's arm frame unreasonably and hit the opponent in the face.
Ordinary people saw this punch and felt that it was nothing, it was just a fist hit to the face, usually couples can do it in a fight.
But for them, veterans of the boxing arena, they know how difficult this punch is.
First of all, boxing gloves are relatively large in size. They are not only elastic, but also increase the area of the fist. It is like poking the cloth with a cotton swab. The difference from poking the cloth with a toothpick is undoubtedly that the former is more difficult to do.
Secondly, the people who participate in boxing matches are not ordinary people. They are well-trained fighters. They usually do offensive and defensive training and know how to defend so as not to be hit.
The opponent's strong defensive ability will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of hitting.
This is also the most obvious difference between boxing matches and ordinary people fighting.
In the competition between the top boxers, the strength is not much different, and it is very difficult to find the opponent's flaws and knock down the opponent in the competition.
If you let the heavyweight world champion let go and attack ordinary people, you can almost knock one down with one punch.
In this game, Link's opponent is the WBA Light heavyweight world champion, a top boxer who has experienced many major competitions, and his strength is quite good.
Link, a boxer who has just been upgraded to light heavyweight, can knock back the opponent with one punch. This kind of strength is indeed very tyrannical.
“It's really powerful. He knocked the light heavyweight champion three steps back with one punch. The weight of the punch was at least 1,200 pounds or more. It was too fierce.”
WBC-IBF lightweight Intercontinental champion Xiong Zhaozhong also stared at Link and said.
Xiong Chaozhong is 29 years old and 155 cm tall. He was originally a copper miner.
He entered the professional boxing arena in 2006 and has won the WBA/WBC/IBF Mini Lightweight Asian boxing championship successively, and is currently the most famous boxer in the domestic professional boxing arena.
In the next step, he will go out of the Asian division of the four major organizations, compete for the title of international boxing champion, and be qualified to challenge the world boxing champion.
Unlike Zou Shiming's national team background, his boxing skills mainly rely on natural strength and self-exploration, and he is born in a wild way.
Usually in training, he will often watch foreign professional boxing matches and learn the methods of top boxers.
Because of Link's fame and strength, he has been at the top of the P4P strength list of "Boxing Ring" all year round.
Link is also one of the objects that Xiong Chaozhong often observes and learns.
Just watching the videotape has a drawback.
Due to the extremely fast boxing speed of boxers, the shots of the live camera often cannot keep up with the rhythm, resulting in blurred shots, or the shooting angle of the scene is not ideal, and the learning effect is not good.
Seeing Link's game at the scene today, he was very shocked.
Link's punching speed was faster than in the video, and his fists were stronger. The ripples on the opponent's skin and muscles could be clearly seen in the audience during a punch.
Also, Link's combination of punches and pace are very cleverly matched. Every time he attacks and every time he withdraws, it is worth learning.
Xiong Chaozhong felt that Link could afford to be a ‘master’ in boxing.
“Link is only 22 years old, how could he be so good.”
Zhang Zhilei, the heavyweight silver medallist of the 08 Olympic Games, exclaimed.
The two older boxers, Zou Shiming and Xiong Chaozhong, were also a little speechless. At their age, they were still playing in amateur boxing and intercontinental competitions.
But Link has become the super middleweight overlord at the age of 22, and now he is attacking the light heavyweight world champion, and he has a prize of 30 or 40 million U.S. dollars per game. He is indeed an amazing boxer.
Bang bang bang!
In the boxing ring, Link waved his fist and continued to launch a violent attack on his opponent.
Left jab + right jab + straight jab + left jab.
Fists continued to hit Beirut's defense line in a series.
But at the beginning of the game, because he underestimated Link's punch weight, he suffered from poor defense.
In subsequent games, in order to prevent being hit again, he increased his defense.
His arms tightly protected his head, and his feet kept moving and transposing to prevent Link from hitting his abdomen on both ribs.
While defending, he was also looking for an opportunity to counterattack and return the fist he had just received to Link.
It's a pity that Link's offensive style is very headache, one set of combination punches after another, the punches are endless, and he is not given a chance to fight back at all.
Also, Link's offensive rhythm is also very annoying. If he holds his head and insists on defending without considering counterattack, Link will only hit his arms and attack his line of defense.
If he dared to show a little counterattack, Link's fist would suddenly become fierce.
Not only attack the arms and head, but sometimes use liver punches and uppercuts.
One move is more dangerous than the other, and it seems to be warning him not to fight back.
Because Link's boxing speed is too fast, his fists are also very lethal.
Every time Link issued a warning, he had to suppress the counterattack and strictly guard against it.
This made him feel very aggrieved.
I feel that Link has already controlled the whole game, and he must follow his rhythm. If he doesn't follow his rhythm, he will be beaten.
I am not reconciled to this.
He is the WBA light heavyweight world champion. He has defeated many powerful boxers of the same level. He went through a lot of hard work to get this WBA golden belt.
He will never hand over this honor easily.
Now he is only waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity when Link is exhausted.
In boxing matches, everyone knows a truth. It is impossible to attack for a long time. This is because people have limited physical strength and continuous attack consumes a lot of energy.
Now Link has punched more than 80 times in a row, and the more this continuous attack consumes in the back, the more difficult it is to persevere.
This is his opportunity. As long as Link's offense dares to relax a little bit, he will wave his fist mercilessly and hit Link hard in the face to avenge the punch just now.
At the same time, Link is currently the most popular and influential boxer in the world boxing arena, and one of the boxers with the highest appearance fees.
As long as you can defeat him, you can explode overnight and become a world-famous boxer, and the prize money of the competition will be doubled dozens of times.
Just like James Douglas, before defeating Tyson, he was just a non-prominent boxer in the heavyweight field, with a prize of hundreds of thousands per match.
After defeating Tyson, he turned around and played against Evander Holyfield. Although he lost in the end, he also won a prize of 25 million U.S. dollars.
If you can beat Link in this game, there will be money, beauty, luxury homes, luxury cars, and everything.
Now you just need to defeat Link.
Through the gap between his fists, he stared viciously at Link on the opposite side.
At this moment, his mentality is extremely firm, as long as he can defeat Link, he can realize all his dreams.
If you don't fight at this time, you will definitely regret it for life in the future.
“Ula!”
Feeling that Link's offensive rhythm was slowing down, he didn't waste the opportunity. He yelled ‘kill’ in Russian and slammed his fist at Link.
Boom!
Link caught his fist with his right arm, and couldn't help but take a step back.
He is worthy of being the light heavyweight champion, and his strength is indeed stronger than that of the very well-known champion.
The punch just exploded with a power of at least 1,200 pounds, no worse than the heavyweight Intercontinental champion.
If he hits the punch hard just now, he can catch it steadily without taking a step back, but doing so is unnecessary and will waste his physical strength in vain. It is a very stupid style of play.
And he took a step back to easily defuse the opponent's punch weight, and also let the opponent waste his strength.
It's just that in the eyes of ordinary viewers, this step is not simple.
The situation just now was that he suddenly counterattacked, and Link took a step back with a punch and almost hit the rope. The situation was very intense.
Everyone thought that he was going to make a big move to recover the previous disadvantage.
“Come on, come on!”
“Beirut!Ura!”
Many of Link's black fans shouted loudly at the scene.
In addition to Tianxian fans, these people also have Sasaki Nozomi fans from Japan, Shinheng Yui fans, Jeon Ji-hyun fans from South Korea, and Girls' Generation fans.
Link didn't know where he had offended Girls' Generation fans.
Hundreds of boys held up the support cards of the nine idols of Girls' Generation and cheered loudly for Beirut, hoping that Beirut would defeat Link on their behalf.
Bang bang bang!
In the boxing ring, he gritted his braces, glared at his eyes, and swung his fists at Link one punch after another, giving full play to the fierce style of Russian boxing and tank-style offensive methods.
“It's early!It's too early to fight back!”
In the vip area of the boxing ring, Hoya patted his thigh and shouted.
“If you don't fight back at this time, when will you fight back?”
Eddie Hearn looked back and asked.
“It's best that after three rounds, Link's physical strength is too sufficient. If you want to knock him down, it's best to maximize his physical strength in the first few rounds and find a chance to fight back after the third round.”
Hoya said with a clenched fist.
“Are you kidding me?At the beginning of the game, Link had to take three steps back with a punch. You can tell how strong his strength is. If he persists in fighting back for three rounds, he is likely to be killed by him.
Fighting back in the first three rounds, fighting with him is the best way.”
Eddie Hearn said.
Since Carl Franche lost to Link last time, the athletic room promotion company has treated Link as the number one enemy, and often invites famous British boxers and gold medal coaches to hold seminars to study how to defeat Link.
But because Link has almost no shortcomings in boxing weight, speed, physical strength, technique, reflexes, tactics, etc.
Everyone has studied it many times, and the final conclusion is to fight boxing.
Because Link has never encountered a tough opponent, nor has he experienced the baptism of underground boxing matches, he is relatively gentle in his style of play, lacking a fierce and iron-blooded taste.
So the best way is to use the fiercest and most savage style of play to disrupt Link's rhythm and affect his game mentality.
There is no need to pay attention to any rules in the game, let alone worry about making mistakes, as long as you can defeat him, all means can be used.
“It's hard!”
Hoya shook his head and said, “In boxing matches, the tactic of fighting boxing is mainly used to deal with boxers of comparable strength. Fighting boxing can get some chances to win, but in this game, apart from his boxing weight and fighting ability, he is better than Link in other aspects. Obviously inferior to Link, he is not qualified to fight with Link.”
“If you don't believe me, you wait and see, I will never lose the game easily.”
Eddie Hearn said with a fist.
Boom!
While he was talking, when the stage manager was using hugging tactics to restrain Link, he suddenly hit the bridge of Link's nose with his head. Link was unstoppable for a while, and he was hit on the chin while dodging, and there was an obvious wound at the corner of his mouth.
Link hit Beirut's left rib covertly with a backhand punch, and Beirut was beaten with a muffled snort, holding his arms tightly with both hands.
“Wow!”
There was an exclamation from the scene.
The audience clamored loudly, although the two sides had been punching and punching before, they had a good fight.
But for Hong Kong audiences who often watch martial arts movies, they still like more exciting hand-to-hand combat.
Seeing that he used illegal tactics in the game, he actually broke the corner of Link's mouth. It is rumored that Link was rarely injured in the game, and he was called "The golden Link".
This time, it was so exciting to be able to break through his golden body.
Link's black fans shouted one after another‘ "Come on, Sister Fairy is ours’ and ‘Down with Link, long live Girls' Generation’, and the atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic.
“Break!”
The boxing referee came over to separate the two and gave them a serious warning.
In boxing matches, the use of illegal tactics is taboo, and penalties will be awarded based on the severity of the foul and the opponent's injury.
For example, Tyson bit Holyfield's ear in the 1995 game, and even bit the bleeding. It was a big move and was directly judged to be negative.
Holyfield also used illegal methods many times in the game, such as the most common head hammer, which kept hitting Tyson's eyebrow bone with his head during the hug, and scratched the wound on Tyson's face with his head when he hugged again, causing the wound to expand.
Because Lao Huo's moves were relatively hidden, the referee did not stop the game, and Tyson was forced to be helpless and go straight to his mouth.
It is not the first time Lao Huo has used a head hammer in a boxing match. In the 2002 match with ‘Rock’ Hashim Raman, he directly knocked Hashim's forehead out of an apple-sized bag, and finally won the match.
Also because Lao Huo is bald, he often uses his head hammer in competitions. Boxing fans ridiculed him for practicing 'tietou Gong’ and called him a'shaolin Monk’.
This time, he also used illegal tricks on him in the game. His movements were more obvious, and the referee issued him a serious warning.
A serious warning is equivalent to a knockdown, and two to three more times, the referee has the right to directly award a loss.
After taking a header, Link was also awakened by his opponent.
In the past games, he played relatively softly with his opponents, using verbal attacks at most, and rarely using illegal methods.
The long period of time also caused his vigilance to drop seriously, and he almost forgot the bloody storm he had experienced in the underground boxing ring.
After eating a mallet, he remembered that he is now the most popular and influential person in the world boxing arena. Many people want to succeed in the upper echelons by defeating him, and he has also become a target of the boxing arena.
If you let your guard down too much and forget the darkness on the boxing ring, if you are not careful in the future, it is very likely that you will become a stepping stone for others.
Therefore, if you want to go further in boxing, you must have a twelve-point spirit in future matches, and you must not take it lightly and give the opponent a chance to make a hole.
Link clenched his fists and stared quietly at the man on the opposite side.
he looked up and saw his deep eyes, and suddenly felt a chill in his back.
“Boxing!”
The referee walked to the middle and waved again to announce the start of the game.
