72 Tang Yan vs Zhou Junhua 1

Song Nan hit the canvas and was out for the count.

The referee realized this and quickly looked down to check Song Nan's situation. When he saw that he was only stunned instead of in shock, his face couldn't help but relax.

Soon after, the staff members lifted Song Nan away. The referee went to the center of the boxing ring and held up Tang Yan's hand.

To signal Tang Yan as the winner of this round of competition.

At this time, the referee's face looked complicated. It was reasonable to say that he got off working and his mood should be relaxed, but the KO was so fast he seemed redundant.

The first round of the tournament ended in quick succession. Tang Yan and Lu Yun both successfully advanced to the second round.

In this round, there were only 8 boxers left. It was the quarter-final stage.

Tang Yan's second round opponent was Guo Nuzhi from Shanghai.

Guo Nuzhi was also a relatively new boxer. Like Song Nan, he was 19 years old. However, compared with Qin Nan, both his state of mind and strength was much stronger. He had also knocked out his opponent in the first round.

...

After the two touched gloves and separated to their corners.

The referee started the match, Guo Nuzhi took the lead by launching an attack on Tang Yan, which was a direct jab.

Tang Yan slipped to the left and dodged it.

Then two stepped forward and launched a left hook.

Guo Nuzhi raised his guard and used his right hand to block the blow aimed at his head.

However, Tang Yan launched a devastating right upper-cut almost simultaneously.

"Boom!"

Caught by Tang Yan's right-handed uppercut, his head shot back and was reeling. He felt his center of gravity become unstable.

After Guo Nuzhi fell to the ground, he struggled to get back up, but couldn't orientate himself, he was out for the count.

The referee followed up and signaled his victory raising his hand.

"You really don't give your opponent face at all." When Tang Yan came down from the boxing ring, Liu Lianglong couldn't help but say.

"We are here to win right, hahaha." Tang Yan said faintly.

This attracted a bitter smile from Liu Lianglong.

But at this time, he followed up with: "The opponents in the first two rounds were relatively easy, but in the next round, you have to pay attention, this opponent may bring you some trouble."

"Who?" Tang Yan looked puzzled at Liu Lianglong.

To be honest, he wasn't too worried about his opponents in this tournament.

"Your next opponent is Zhou Junhua. There have been rumors that he had retired, so I didn't expect to see him here."

"An old boxer?" Tang Yan said.

"Yeah, he's 32, he came in the top eight of the national championship in the previous years. His experience is very rich, so pay attention to his flow. "Liu Lianglong shouted.

Tang Yan nodded.

The two walked towards Lu Yun's ring to watch his fight.

Compared with Tang Yan's ease, Lu Yun's fight wasn't going so easily. He had finished a round but he still hadn't beat his opponent yet.

"Ding! Ding!"

The second round began.

After watching for a while, Tang Yan understood why Lu Yun couldn't resolve this fight quickly.

His opponent in this round was a defensive fighter who constantly moved to avoid his offense.

Although Lu Yun occasionally connected a punch or two and held the advantage he couldn't end it.

Tang Yan saw this and knew that it would continue to all four rounds at this rate. Lu Yun's physical exertion would definitely cause him to lose. He couldn't help but shout: "Follow through with your punches. Commit to them and end this."

Although Lu Yun was in the middle of fighting, Tang Yan's voice still entered into his ear. He suddenly gave up all defense and put all his energy into attacking. From punching volume to just power.

The situation changed in an instant. Lu Yun was a boxer who was known for his attack. After his full on attack, his opponent couldn't keep up.

It was completely different from before, Lu Yun was fully committing to every punch now instead of just using punch volume even though he missed one or two punches, his offensive was not reduced.

Soon, his opponent was forced into the corner of the boxing ring, as he lost space to dodge.

Lu Yun caught him with an almighty right hook for a clean hit.

At this time, the other boxing fights had ended. When they saw this hard-hitting knockdown, there was a cheering sound immediately from below.

Lu Yun was also very excited. After the referee finished the countdown, he excitedly screamed twice.

Liu Lianglong turned to look at Tang Yan at this time, there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

With the end of Lu Yun's match, the morning fights were done. The semi-finals would be held in the afternoon.

When the tournament entered this stage, a large crowd slowly came in to watch.

The competition between Tang Yan and Zhou Junhua attracted a decent crowd.

With two KO's it was difficult not to attract attention.

....

"This is my final year before I go into retirement, I wish to fulfill my dream of competing internationally for my country, hopefully at the Asian Games. To do that I need to win this tournament. So, I'm sorry." Before the game started, Zhou Junhua suddenly said to Tang Yan.

Tang Yan looked at him puzzled.

"Why are you telling me this." Tang Yan said faintly.

"So you can understand my situation!" Zhou Junhua said.

At this time, the referee went through the usual routine.

Tang Yan and Zhou Junhua touched gloves and moved back to their corners.
