Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 19 Southeast Division Champion

　　Bang!

Jones stepped forward and hit Link's face with a swift straight punch. Link reacted faster and while dodging with his head, he hit Jones on the head with a backward punch.

 “Wow, it’s this move again!”

 “The anesthesiologist is finally online, God!”

 “Can he hit it?”

The audience exclaimed, because after watching it too much, everyone knew what Link's killer move was - it was a throwing punch that was thrown up quickly from behind. It often struck first and knocked out the opponent with one punch. It was very ferocious.

Jones also knew Link’s ultimate move. Before the game, in order to deal with Link’s ultimate move, he practiced with the coaches for two days and finally found a way to crack it——

At the moment of punching, quickly tilt your head back or squat down, and focus on Link's throwing punch instead of thinking about knocking Link down with one punch, using this move to lower Link's morale.

 Hence, before Link's back throw punch came, Jones was already ready to defend and leaned back tactically.

Link's backward punch swept across Jones' chin.

 “Woooo~”

 The audience exclaimed in disappointment.

 The killer move was avoided, but Link was not disappointed and continued to maintain a defensive posture.

 Jones could see that Link's strength and speed had decreased compared to the previous game.

 He guessed that Link had consumed a lot of energy in the last game and wanted to use this method to gain some rest time.

Jones didn't want him to succeed, and then punched Link's crossed arms with his second punch, trying to break through Link's defense. However, Link's superb skills made it extremely difficult to break through, so Jones could only attack with consecutive punches.

Faced with Jones' strong attack, Link still adopted a defensive tactic. In this round, Jones threw a total of 65 punches, 8 of which hit effective parts of Link's body. The referee gave Jones 10 points in this round and Link Only 8 points.

In the fourth round, Jones continued to attack, throwing a total of 72 punches, 9 of which hit effective parts of Link's body. Jones won another round.

 During the intermission of the fourth round, his coach suggested that he slow down his attacking pace to conserve his energy and prevent Link from making subsequent moves.

Jones disagreed. The game reached the fourth round. The first two rounds were 10-10. In the third and fourth rounds, he was clearly at an advantage. He could win the game as long as he won two more rounds. Why should he give up his current advantageous situation? ?

And in the contest with Link, he could see that Link had consumed a lot and his strength and speed had declined. He was very confident of defeating Link.

His coach saw Link sweating profusely and rehydrating on the sidelines, so he agreed with Jones’s suggestion to continue to get points and stabilize the victory as soon as possible.

"Link, why don't you take action? If you don't take action, you won't be able to win with points." Mario said while fanning him.

 “Wait a minute! I’ll take another round of rest.”

Link spat out the water in his mouth and staggered to the middle of the ring.

　　Bang!

The game continued. In this game, Jones made 84 shots, hitting Link's effective parts 10 times, and won another game.

 In the sixth game, there are only four rounds left before the end of the game.

 “Isn’t Link going to take action yet?”

 The audience and people from the promotion company all looked at Link in the ring with confusion, wondering why he suddenly became negative. Could it be that he broke up with his girlfriend before the game?

 In the sixth round, Jones punched 88 times and hit Link's effective parts 12 times. Jones won another round.

 “Link is going to lose?!”

The people from the promotion company sighed with some disappointment. Link's fight was too bad in this game. Although I don't know what happened to him, a boxer who was affected by off-field factors and lost the game showed that his mental quality was somewhat Difference.

 The people promoting the company were a little disappointed.

“Link, did you bet a lot of money on yourself that you would lose, so you wanted to lose the game on purpose?”

Mario asked, turning his big head full of scraps.

Link glanced at him and spat the water on the ground.

 “Look, I’m going to get mad next.”

“Shit, it’s hard for you to get into bed like this, what else can you do?”

Mario curled his lips and said.

　　Bang!

At 24 seconds into the seventh round, Jones hit Link in the face with a straight punch, but Link quickly turned his head to avoid it.

 “Jones!”

At this moment, Jones’ coach yelled.

Jones had no idea what was happening until Link threw a backward punch and suddenly hit him on the head. His body couldn't help but fall to the right. When he fell, he remembered that Link's back Throw punch! !

Just now he played a few smooth games and scored a lot of points on Link's face. Because the attack was so smooth, he had long forgotten Link's killer move and didn't even think about dodging it when he punched.

 He also did not expect that at this time, Link would be able to deliver such a vicious punch with his physical strength.

 Miscalculation!

　　Bang!

Jones had a look of reluctance on his face and hit the ground hard.

 “Wow~, back-throwing punch, see Link’s back-throwing punch again.”

“Has the anesthetist finally arrived? God, I’m sick to death.”

 “Link, come on, kill him!”

 Goodbye KO, the audience immediately cheered up. Just now Jones attacked and Link defended. Both sides did well.

But everyone came here to watch Link KO his opponent, not to watch his opponent beat Link on top of him, so they waited patiently and finally waited for a KO.

Next, Link did not disappoint the audience. After Jones got up, he took advantage of Jones' lack of recovery and used a series of heavy punches to break through Jones' defense. He hit hard with a swift jab and a left swing. in Jones' face.

 Jones was knocked to the ground by KO for the second time.

 “Link, come on!”

 “Link, I want to sleep with you!”

 “Link, let your fists come harder.”

 Seeing Link show off his power, the audience shouted excitedly.

After Jones got up, Link continued to take the initiative to attack, one combination of punches after another.

 “Hold him! Hold him!”

Jones’ coach yelled from the audience. Jones immediately stepped forward and hugged Link to prevent him from continuing to show off his power. Link hit Jones on both sides with his fists until the referee separated the two.

At the beginning of the eighth round, Jones raised his fists high and crossed them to protect his head, adopting a defensive tactic.

If it is in the first three rounds, Jones has a light heavyweight physique and super high resistance to blows. Link may not be able to break through his defense. Even if he breaks through, it will be very laborious, and he does not have that much physical strength to waste.

 But in the eighth game, after Jones attacked for four consecutive rounds, his physical strength was extremely exhausted, and he was knocked out twice by Link in a row. When he raised his arms to defend, he would also be extremely burdened.

At this time, his defense was at its weakest, and Link did not hesitate. He stepped forward and continued to use heavy punches to break open Jones's defense with both hands, and once again hit him in the face with a straight punch.

　　Bang!

 Jones was knocked to the ground by KO for the third time.

 “Good fight! Just fight like this!”

 In the audience, Franco Duva waved his fist and shouted excitedly.

 “Boss, do we want to sign him?” Assistant Simon asked.

 Franco Duva’s thick black eyebrows wrinkled and he looked at several figures not far away.

There were promoter Greg Cohen of Top Rank Promotions, promoter Dmitry Salita of Arena Room Promotions, Frank Warren of Queensberry Boxing Promotions, Vice President of Top Championship Boxing Promotions Al ·Haimeng, even the newly established Golden Boy Promotions Company sent people here.

People from several large boxing promotion companies in the United States are interested in acquiring Link Baker. It is not easy for his Hall of Fame promotion company to sign Link.

In addition, after the Florida competition, he contacted Link in Orlando and offered generous terms to sign him, but Link refused. Link said that he would consider signing after the Golden Gloves Championship.

Link is strong and is not in a hurry to sign a contract. Colleagues are also keeping a close eye on Link, a newcomer with huge commercial value. If you want to sign him, you must be patient enough and have enough terms to impress Link.

　　Bang!

On the ring, Link hit his opponent in the head with another swinging punch. Jones was knocked to the ground and squatted on the ground for four seconds before getting up. This was the eighth time he was knocked down.

 “This Jones is not bad either.”

 “Comprehensive technology.”

 “Extremely high resistance to blows.”

Several promoters nodded in approval as they watched Jones get up again after being knocked down eight times.

Link is a slugger. In the past, his opponents would be knocked down seven times at most before being unable to get up. Jones could still get up after falling to the ground eight times. He obviously has great potential.

“There is only one round left in the game, can Link complete the KO?”

 Everyone looked at Link's performance expectantly.

On the boxing ring, after nine rounds, Link was covered in sweat and kept taking deep breaths. This was not a pretense to lure the enemy, but he was really tired. He took less than three hours of rest after the last game and resumed the game.

The opponent in this match, Jones Fullers, is very strong and very resistant to fighting. His resistance to fighting is at least twice that of Mario. His defense is also very good, and he spends a lot of energy every time he breaks the defense.

 After attacking for three consecutive rounds, Link's physical strength reached a critical point. However, after Jones was knocked down eight times, his physical and mental condition was also extremely poor.

 Now they compete with endurance and willpower.

Link didn't lack endurance, nor did he lack willpower. When he was pushing the cart in the mine, and at the last moment of the iron cage battle, when he spit out blood clots from his mouth, he could still burst out with huge power, not to mention that he was now completely in a Advantage.

How can you lose in this kind of game? !

Roar!

Link went crazy and kept hitting Jones with both fists.

 Bang, bang, bang!

Link forced Jones in front of the corner post, firing with both fists. One punch, two punches, and three punches broke through Jones's arms defense. The fourth punch passed through the defense and hit Jones **** the forehead, until Jones lost reaction. ability.

 “Break!”

The referee came and grabbed Link.

Link stepped back and put his fists away in a gentlemanly manner.

Jones's arms were hung with ropes, and he fell forward and fell to the ground.

 The referee counts.

 “.8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!”

Link raised his hands high.

　　Boom!

 The atmosphere reached a climax, and the audience cheered loudly and shouted Link's name.

 “Yay! Link wins!”

 Mario and Reggie jumped up and shouted.

 "Link! Champion of Fighters! Link, Champion of Fighters!"

 “What a wonderful match, Link Baker will definitely become a boxing champion in the future!”

“From regional competitions to divisional competitions, Link made it to the Golden Gloves Championship finals with a record of KOing all his opponents. His performance is unmatched by anyone!”

“In 14 amateur matches, he won 14 times by KO. This record has never happened in any amateur match. Link has set a new historical record.”

The audience stood up and applauded Link, and the people promoting the company also looked at Link with burning eyes, as if they were looking at a mobile money printing machine.

 The media at the scene also focused their cameras on Link in the boxing ring to witness the birth of a new sports star.

“I announce! The gold medal winner of the Southeast Division of this Golden Gloves Championship is...Florida, Link Baker!”

 Yunus Musa, the vice president of the American Amateur Boxing Association and the organizer of the Southeast Division event, raised Link's arm high in the boxing ring.

 “Link! Champion!”

 The audience applauded and cheered.

In the auditorium, hundreds of boxing fans holding Link posters jumped up and down excitedly, shouting Link, Prince of Boxing, and some called Mr. Anesthetist.

Link smiled brightly and waved his fist at the boxing fans.

 “Family, see you in Miami!”
