Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 471: Taking action with anger

 In the boxing ring, the host of KBS TV station was introducing various data of Link and Hopkins, including height, arm length, weight, professional record, etc.

Hopkins is 18cm tall and 19cm long. He is a long-handed monster. He has a career record of 60 fights, 5 losses, 2 draws and 32 KO wins. He is also one of the most experienced boxers in the current professional boxing world.

And Link has 24 wins and 24 KOs in 24 fights. This is a dream result and is widely sought after by many obsessive-compulsive boxing fans. They hope that Link can keep it up and it is best to win all games by KO.

“Mr. Baker, are you confident that you can defeat Mr. Hopkins and win this game?”

KBS host Cui Xi asked as he handed over the microphone.

Several cameras under the ring immediately turned to take pictures of Link, and his image also appeared on the big screen at the scene.

　　“Yes, if you ask who can win this game, without a doubt, it can only be me.”

Link looked at the camera and smiled.

 “Come on Link Oppa!”

 “Link Oppa Fighting!”

 After he finished speaking, there were waves of excited cheers and screams, mostly from girls.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 simultaneously!

Opposite him, Hopkins curled his lips in disdain.

“Mr. Baker, according to the strength assessment, among all the opponents you have played against, where does Mr. Hopkins rank?”

 The host asked.

“About the top five, accurate data, I think it’s more appropriate to tell you after the game.”

Link said.

"As far as we know, among all the opponents you have defeated, except for Tyson, no other boxer can last three rounds in your hands. Facing Mr. Hopkins, you will also strive to win in three rounds." End the game within?"

 The host asked.

“Yes, finishing the game within three rounds was a minimum goal I set before the game, but I hope Bernard can last longer.”

Link said.

He could tell that the host wanted to stir up the atmosphere at the scene by asking these questions, so he answered the questions more openly. Sure enough, when he heard what he said, the boxing fans in the audience became restless.

 Farke!

Hopkins on the opposite side had a dark face and stared at Link with evil intentions. When he watched Link and Clinton Woods compete in Las Vegas last month, he saw the entire audience cheering for Link. Cheers, Link easily gets the home field advantage.

I thought that there would be fewer Link fans during the competition in Seoul, South Korea, but when I came to South Korea, I found that the streets were full of posters of Link, including boxing matches, new albums, and Captain America movie posters.

This situation almost made him think that everyone in the United States was a fan of Link.

What made him even more unhappy was that the situation at Jamsil Stadium was even worse than outside. The auditorium was full of Link fans, and posters and cheering items supporting Link were everywhere.

 Playing in a place like this is like falling into Link's base camp and playing against him in front of tens of thousands of Link fans.

This situation put him under great pressure, and at the same time his fighting spirit became stronger and stronger. It would definitely be a cool thing to defeat Link in front of tens of thousands of Link fans and beat Link into a pig head.

Hopkins looked at Link opposite and smiled coldly.

“Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Baker said he would defeat you within three rounds. Do you have the confidence to last longer or turn defeat into victory?”

The host handed the microphone to Hopkins and asked.

"Of course! I will not only defeat him, but also beat him like a mobile sandbag to let him know how powerful I am."

Hopkins bared his teeth and looked at Link, and waved his fist at him.

Link smiled lightly and didn't care.

 Dang Dang Dang!

The game was about to start, and everyone was waiting to leave the boxing ring. Hopkins looked at the KBS host unhappily and asked Link several questions, but he only got one?

 Maja Fak!

The audience in the auditorium was also very poor. It was clear that his answer was more domineering than Link's, but after he finished speaking, only a few fans shouted, and the others seemed to have forgotten their mouths. There was no movement at all. Not given either.

“Hey, Link, look at the audience. They are all your female fans. Guess, if I beat your pretty face into a pig’s head, will they be sad?”

Hopkins said with a malicious smile.

"It should be possible. After all, I'm really handsome. It's a tragedy that my face is injured. On the contrary, if I beat you into a pig's head, everyone should shout, hit it well, hit it hard, because this is a comedy." ”

"Honestly! Damn guy, you'd better pray to God and don't let me catch your flaw. If I catch your flaw, I will kill you." Hopkins clenched his fist and cursed fiercely.

 “Wake up! Stop dreaming, it’s time to compete.”

Link smiled nonchalantly.

 The ring referee came over and announced the rules of the game. The two of them stopped beeping and waited for the referee to announce the start of the game.

“Hoya, guess how many rounds Bernard can last in Link’s hands?”

At the boxing ring coach's bench, Franco crossed his arms and said.

 “Why can’t Link last fewer turns in Bernard’s hands?”

Hoya asked dissatisfied.

 “It’s impossible, we all know it.”

Franco said with a smile.

 “I guess three rounds.”

Eddie Hearn, the owner of the athletics room, said, stroking the stubble on his chin.

De La Hoya glanced at him dissatisfied, "Eddie, this game has nothing to do with you, why did you come to South Korea?"

“I heard that you and Bernard did a lot of work before the game to deal with Link. I want to see what your methods are and whether there is any value for reference.”

 Eddie Hearn laughed.

“Hmph! Don’t worry, I promise I won’t let you down.”

Hoya crossed his arms and said.

Franco frowned and stared at him, "Are there really any small tricks? Link, you also know that he hates these small tricks, and he will not hesitate to deal cruelly to those who use small tricks. I advise you not to compete in the competition." It will do you no good to irritate him."

De La Hoya shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something when the referee's voice came from the stage.

 “Boxing!”

The ring referee waved his arms. Link, who was wearing red gloves, bumped fists with Hopkins, who was wearing black fists. They took half a step back, and then stared at each other closely.

　　Bang!

Hopkins was the first to launch an attack, taking full advantage of his arm length and slamming a straight punch into Link's face.

Link reacted quickly. When he saw the opponent attacking first, he immediately raised his arm to block, received Hopkins' fist firmly, and then punched Hopkins in the face.

Hopkins raised his fist to block the attack. At the same time, he leaned back and took half a step back.

The reason is that De La Hoya repeatedly warned him before the game that Link's punch is very heavy, no worse than the heavyweight boxing champion, and he will suffer from a hard fight.

He didn't quite believe it before, but after being hit in the arm by Link, he knew it was true. Link's fists were indeed terrifying, and he understood why so many excellent boxers would fight one after another after meeting Link. Falling in the ring.

 The reason lies in the weight of the punch.

A guy like Link who has the speed of a lightweight boxing champion and the punch of a heavyweight boxing champion is really difficult to deal with.

Hopkins secretly gritted his teeth, raised his vigilance to the limit, and concentrated on dealing with Link's attacks. At the same time, he would also look for opportunities to attack Link, because he found that when fighting Link, Link would sometimes deliberately expose himself. Open a loophole and let him attack.

Hopkins dismissed this flaw.

Because De La Hoya told him that in order to enhance the enjoyment of the game, Link, a bastard, would sometimes let his opponent off guard during the attack and let the opponent attack him at will. Then he would have the opportunity to show off his super fast reaction speed and super high defense skills, allowing him to The audience cheered him on.

De La Hoya also said that for boxers who cooperate with Link, Link will generally not hit hard during the game. For those who do not cooperate, Link will hit harder in KO.

 Hopkins just wanted to curse after hearing this.

This **** Link is not in a boxing match, he is training a dog. No boxer with any blood will cooperate with him in this matter.

Hopkins was even more incompetent. He took advantage of Link's weakness and pressed forward, hitting Link roughly and brutally with a straight punch followed by several jabs.

One of the punches hit Link's chest, the other grazed Link's shoulder and almost hit his chin, causing a burst of exclamations at the scene, and many people shouting, "Oppa, be careful."

He originally thought that Link would explode and launch his Storm Fist, but Link didn't. He still shook his fists up and down, straight punches + jabs, hitting slowly and calmly, with a very calm expression on his face, completely No intention of ending the game within the first three rounds?

Hopkins secretly wondered, has Link changed his tactics?
