After the audience arrived in succession, the boxers on both sides also entered the stadium from the channel passages.
Tang Yan turned to look at the left side of the passage. Lu Yun walked out of the passage with the Chinese flag in his hands, which attracted a cheer from the audience.
After Lu Yun, Fernand Gonzalez also walked out from the channel on the right.
"Fernand! Fernand!"
As soon as he came out, he attracted cheers from many of the audience on the sidelines.
The Philippines and Singapore belonged to the South China Sea. Many Filipinos made a special trip to the Youth Olympic Games to see the fight. Together with the popularity of Gonzalez in Southeast Asia, it's not an exaggeration to say that he was at home.
Hearing the voice of the audience, his hands were raised like a hero, and the whole stadium was full of momentum.
Tang Yan was an archery enthusiast, but as a security guard boxing and fighting were also in his purview. This Gonzalez seemed to be a typical European-style boxer which may be related to his general Spanish lineage.
The host introduced the two boxers at the opening and then signaled the start of the fight.
Tang Yan's prediction was correct. After the two sides touched gloves, Gonzalez used his hands to protect his head in a defensive posture, a typical European boxing style.
This style of boxing was built on defensive advancement, taking on the opponents' attacks and then advancing step by step, a bit like a tank.
Lu Yun on the other hand showed an offensive stance, contrary to Gonzalez, he had a typical American style, with his left hand in front of his body and his right hand in an offensive position.
This style of fighting was also the style of the former Chinese boxing champion Zou Shiming.
Lu Yun threw two jabs tentatively. After feeling out Gonzalez, he followed up with another jab which Gonzalez dodged and threw a jab of his, with his long reach forcing Lu Yun back.
When Gonzalez went for another jab, Lu Yun with great speed slipped under it and launched forward closing the distance, he followed up with a right hook.
It was a quick punch which stole through Gonzalez's guard.
"Bam!"

Although it was separated by a glove, the strength was real.
Sure enough, Gonzalez took the initiative to retreat after the solid punch.
This quickly attracted exclamation from the scene.
At this time, Lu Yun seized the opportunity and followed up with a combination of punches.
"Boff! Boff!"
A burst of muffled sounds, Gonzalez was like a sandbag, swarmed by Lu Yun without a chance to get respite.
Whilst Lu Yun was throwing a combination of punches, Gonzalez seized the opportunity to throw a body shot and forced Lu Yun to retreat.
Tang Yan saw this scene, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Lu Yun's performance was really worthy of his muscles.
Most Asian boxers are weak, which is why most people choose to watch American boxing, but Lu Yun's strength was superior to most , which was why Gonzalez was being passively beaten. His attacks were sharp and powerful.
Lu Yun feinted him out of position, kept him off balance, speared him with cutting left jabs and ducked his ferocious returns, tied him up in clinches, nearly ripping his head off with his right uppercuts.
The fight between the two sides was still on going . Gonzalez had always been at the level of taking a passive beating. Under the heavy blows of Lu Yun, his tank-style advancement couldn't be played out. His punching speed was too slow. Nothing of a threat.
Lu Yun became more and more fierce, putting Gonzalez more and more on the back foot. As he got close to KO-ing Gonzalez
The bell sounded.
For the end of the first round.
As Lu Yun went to his corner, he was cheered by the audience.
In the absence of optimism, the Chinese boxer used his strength to win the respect of the audience.
However, at this time, Tang Yan noticed that Lu Yun was somewhat breathless.
This style of boxing was extremely offensive, which is why Lu Yun had managed to get continuous KO's, but it was a huge consumption of physical strength.
Amateur boxing had a total of four rounds, accumulating points or a KO to determine the outcome. If Lu Yun wanted to maintain this intensity for four rounds, this was obviously not an easy task.
The subsequent rounds also verified Tang Yan's thoughts.
Lu Yun's offensive was still sharp, Gonzalez in the second round was no match, but Gonzalez stayed resilient staying alive.
This situation continued until the third round, from there on Lu Yun significantly weakened due to the intense consumption of physical strength.
That round was still fairly even but in the fourth round Gonzalez seized the opportunity to start counterattacking, and got several hits on Lu Yun many of which were heavy blows. Which shook him up.
However, Lu Yun's speed was still dominant. Although he was finally suppressed, he used his fast speed to dodge to keep himself from being hit. He insisted on surviving until the final bell.
Nearing the end of the fourth and final round, Lu Yun was backed into a corner and feigning a body shot Gonzalez hooked three lefts to his head whilst he was guarding his body, and when he slewed around and swung, Gonzalez ducked and crashed his jaw with a right hook.
Which had him groggy for the first time that night. Sensing victory, Gonzalez shot the same hand three times toward his head,but Lu Yan still slightly dazed managed to weave through and get himself out of the corner but he caught a body shot to the midriff on his way out.
Then came the bell to signal the end of the fourth round, Lu Yun almost stumbled, but he stood firm and his face was full of excitement.
Although he hadn't been able to KO his opponent like in the previous rounds, he had the absolute upper hand in the first two rounds, and while he fell short in the third and fourth. He was still able to stand his own in the third, he had got some decent hits in there. That round was fairly even,if he counted points he felt he was absolutely dominant.
The judges on the side of the ring began to score points. The three judges for this match came from Kazakhstan, Mexico and Singapore.
At this time, Tang Yan was also preparing to stand up from his seat and prepare for another historic moment for Chinese boxing.
The judges judgment quickly came to fruition, and the staff sent the result to the referee's.
The referee then picked up Lu Yun's left hand and picked Gonzalez's hand in his right hand.
"The winner of the semi-finals of the Flyweight Division Youth Olympics 2010, is....."
The referee hadn't finished yet. Lu Yun filled with emotions couldn't control himself he held his left hand high and his face full of excitement.
On the other side, Gonzalez was a little lonely. He didn't expect Lu Yun's boxing to be so sharp before the fight. Although he held his own towards the end he didn't know if he did enough to clinch it back.
Many viewers at the scene also stood up and prepared to applaud Lu Yun.
"Fernand Gonzalez!" The referee followed up with the announcement of the final winner, followed by holding up Gonzalez's hand.
Lu Yun shouted excitedly, but when he felt that his hand wasn't lifted, and then saw Gonzalez, who's hand was raised on the other side, he was crushed.
In fact, it wasn't only him, but the audience at the scene were also a confused. Was there a mistake?
"Fernand Gonzalez!" The referee saw the reaction of the people around him and repeated his action raising the hand of Gonzalez again.
Gonzalez was also embarrassed at the beginning, but when he heard the confirmation from the referee, he jumped up and screamed in excitement.
Tang Yan's brows wrinkled up, then looked at the three judges by the ring side.
From the questioning sound of the audience on the scene, it was clear that this result was equivalent to treating everyone on the scene as a fool.
Lu Yun obviously couldn't accept this result. He turned around and spoke to the referee and kept confirming that Gonzalez actually won.
"Give it up, I am the winner, Chinese pig, I am the champion!" Gonzalez saw Lu Yun constantly questioning the referee and shouted at Lu Yun in annoyance and glee.
Lu Yun was even more fired up after hearing this, he rotated around in an instant and threw a powerful right hook at Gonzalez.
