Chapter 69 The Second Champion
“Come on Aragorn!”
“Aragorn kill that Yankee!”
In the auditorium, the Cuban audience shouted loudly. Compared with the relaxed and casual tone before the game, their shouts at this time were mixed with anger and complaints, because they could also see that Aragon might lose. A **** American.
There was also disappointment in Aragorn in their voices.
On the boxing ring, Link looked at Aragorn, who was walking across from him. The opponent was clenching his fists, and his muscles were tense. The sweat that had just been dried on his dark skin was coming out again. There were blood stains at the corners of his mouth, and his left cheekbone was red and swollen. Judging from the situation, It looks terrible.
Link knew that his condition at this time was not much better than that of his opponent, especially since the strain on his right arm affected his strength. It would be difficult to continue attacking the opponent with both fists.
But no matter how difficult it is, Aragorn must be KOed in this round.
Successfully KOing Aragon, the current Olympic champion seed and the elite among the elites, will not only become the super middleweight champion of the Americas, but also greatly improve his experience and mentality. Link does not want to miss these benefits.
What needs to be considered now is how to completely defeat Aragorn, who still has a small amount of blood remaining.
Link thought for a while, looked at Aragorn and said: "Aragorn, at this point in the game, you should know that you have lost. Even if you defend with all your strength, you can't change the result, but you can choose how to finish the last one. In the round, you choose to continue to defend and hide like a coward;
Or be like a warrior, use up your last anger, strength, courage, and will to launch a final attack on me. Maybe there is a chance to turn defeat into victory. Even if you don't win in the end, you will fall like a martyr, not Beat me up like a coward.
Aragorn, be a coward or a martyr, I'll give you a chance. "
Link said with a serious expression.
“I haven’t lost yet!”
Aragorn gritted his teeth and said.
“As you are now, I can defeat you with just one hand.”
Link said calmly, waving his left fist.
Aragorn glared at him angrily, his fists shaking.
"kill!"
Aragorn suddenly roared angrily, his dark face gradually turned dark red, and he clenched his fist and punched Link hard.
Link raised his brows, shouted angrily, and faced Aragorn with his left fist.
—
"Wow!"
The audience at the scene couldn't help but scream in surprise when they saw the two of them charging into each other again.
Both of them were injured, sweating profusely and staggering. At this time, ordinary people would choose to defend. Not only did the two of them not defend, they also dared to continue to attack fiercely. This kind of tenacity and ruthlessness was incredible. Not impressed.
“Come on Aragorn!”
The Cuban audience stood up, pumped their fists and roared loudly. Although they knew that Aragon might lose, they could not help but cheer him when they saw that he was still fighting bravely at the last moment and charging at the **** American. .
"Hold on, Link!"
“Champion Link!”
James waved the flag and led a group of people to shout loudly. Even though their voices were hoarse, every time Link punched, they would shout cheers, as if to accompany Link.
“Dad, can Link win in this fight?”
Taylor clenched his fists and looked nervously at the ring. He saw Link raising his right arm to defend and attacking Aragorn with only his left arm. He was in a very bad state. Taylor and everyone could see that Link's right arm might be injured. .
"It doesn't matter, Aragorn's condition is worse than him, and he knocked down Aragorn three times in the first three rounds, causing the opponent to count three times. As long as he holds on and resists Aragorn's attack, he has a great chance in this game. win."
Mr. Swift also looked at the boxing ring with a red face, watching the two people attacking and defending each other. He did not dare to blink, lest if he blinked, there would be a sudden change in the boxing ring, and he would miss the most exciting match. part.
“What if Link doesn’t hold on? Will he lose?”
Selena next door blinked her big eyes, put her fists on her chest, nervously watching the competition on the stage, and listened to the commentary of "Mr. Wheelchair" in her ears.
“Link should be able to hold on, wow!”
Mr. Swift straightened his body and exclaimed. On the boxing ring, Aragorn suddenly roared and punched Link on the forehead. Link took three steps back and hit the rope with his back, almost falling down. .
“Come on Aragorn!”
“Aragorn, fight back quickly!”
The Cuban audience also roared loudly with excitement, and some people swung drum hammers and beat the crocodile skin drum.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heroic and impassioned.
Aragorn did not disappoint the expectations of the Cubans. He mustered up his last strength and punched Link repeatedly, who was leaning on the rope. The battle became tense and tragic.
"There are only 50 seconds left in the game. Is Aragorn going to succeed in counterattack?"
"I understand. Aragorn deliberately showed weakness in the first three rounds to make Link underestimate the enemy. Then he exploded in the last round and successfully counter-killed Link. What a good tactic. Aragorn is worthy of being the elite among the elite."
"This is probably Savon's tactic. Savon is worthy of being a three-time Olympic gold medalist."
In the audience, promoters such as Dmitry Salita also held binoculars and watched the competition in the boxing ring nervously. The main reason was that the competition on the stage was too fierce. As an outsider, people outside the ring would also be affected by this atmosphere. When I got excited, my heart was on edge, wondering who would win in the end.
“Link is still too young and lacks experience in the game. If he practices for another two years, he may have a chance to defeat Aragorn.”
Greg Cohen said, shaking his head.
The promoters nodded in agreement. Aragorn was 25 years old and Link was 20 years old. There was a five-year difference. However, considering that 20-year-old Link could almost tie with 25-year-old Aragorn, everyone felt that Link was indeed very powerful. .
"Wow!!"
Suddenly, a loud and uniform exclamation erupted from the scene. Even several promoters couldn't help but exclaim. The drum sound suddenly disappeared at this time.
Everyone looked at the boxing ring in shock, and some couldn't believe their eyes.
10 seconds ago, in the boxing ring. Link panted heavily and looked at Aragorn opposite. After more than a minute of fierce fighting, the two of them had exhausted a lot of physical strength and willpower.
When Aragorn stood on the stage, his eyes were half-closed and half-opened, his body was shaking from side to side, the frequency of punches also dropped sharply, and the strength dropped to less than 500 pounds, with almost no lethality.
Link knew the time had come. He took a deep breath, held his right arm in front of him, and swung his left fist towards Aragorn. Aragorn blocked his fist with his right arm and swung his left fist towards his face. Smash it over.
“Link, be careful!”
Coach Ed yelled in the audience.
"careful!"
A loud roar suddenly erupted from the opposite corner.
Aragorn didn't understand why Savon shouted to be careful. Link's left fist was already held by him, and his injured right arm was blocking his body. What did he need to be careful about at this time.
Aragorn saw that his fist was about to hit Link's face, and he was very excited. If he hit it steadily, he would have a great chance of knocking Link down, or even completely KO Link, win the game, and become the American champion. The Cuban Boxing star.
Suddenly, he found that Link's right hand that usually covered his chest was missing. He was shocked. He only heard a sound of breaking through the air next to his ears, and a red fist slammed towards him ferociously.
Throw the punch back! !
Aragorn's eyes widened, as if his eye sockets were about to burst. He swung his fist at Link. As long as he hit Link first, everything would still have a chance.
Bang!
Before he could think about it, Link's right back throw punch came first, with ferocious speed and force, like a battering ram, and hit him **** the side of the face.
Aragon’s face was deformed sharply, sweat, tears and saliva were thrown out of his face. His head drove his upper body, and his upper body drove his legs, and he fell heavily towards the right side of the ring.
Bang Dong!
Link was also staggered by Aragorn's fist and sat on the boxing ring.
Wow!
There was a burst of exclamation from the scene.
"Wow! This punch is so great, so unbelievable. Link's right hand can still move. He must have done it on purpose. This is his tactic. He had a head-on fight with Aragorn before, just to find an opportunity to use it. That last punch, Link was awesome.”
In the auditorium on the second floor, Mr. Swift waved his fists and shouted excitedly.
Taylor also screamed excitedly a few times, suddenly turned his head in surprise, glanced up and down at Mr. Swift, and exclaimed: "Dad, why did you stand up? Is your paralysis healed?"
Mr. Swift looked down at the wheelchair behind him and said to himself, "Oh no," he was too excited just now and forgot to pretend, so he accidentally stood up. He coughed lightly and said in surprise, "Hey, why did I stand up? I can move my legs. Is my paralysis cured? Wow, it’s unbelievable.”
To prove that his paralysis was indeed cured, Mr. Swift stamped his feet on the spot. His legs were more flexible than those of healthy people.
Taylor curled up the corners of his lips, quickly congratulated his father, and asked his assistant Emily to call Mrs. Andrea and tell her the good news.
Selena Gomez next door stared at Mr. Wheelchair with round eyes. The shock in her heart was a hundred times stronger than that of the father and daughter. Can watching a boxing match cure paralysis? real or fake?
She grabbed the arm of her aunt Catherine beside her and said excitedly: "Catherine, look, Mr. Wheelchair has stood up. Just now he saw Link knocking down Aragorn with one punch. Suddenly he stood up and his legs can walk again." , don’t you think it’s amazing?”
Catherine looked at Mr. Wheelchair, nodded, said something magical, and then looked back at the boxing ring.
On the boxing ring, Link held his throbbing right arm and slowly stood up.
Not far away, Aragon fell sideways on the ring. The referee squatted next to him and began to count the seconds. Many Cuban spectators at the scene were still shouting "Aragorn, stand up" and "Come on Aragon."
But Aragorn lay motionless.
Link didn't know if Aragorn fainted, but it didn't matter much. There were still 50 seconds left. Aragorn's physical strength, strength and fighting spirit had been exhausted in the previous attack. Even if he could stand up, he was sure of it. Knock him down again.
As far as the current situation is concerned, I have all the best horses, so what do I have to lose?
“.3, 2, 1!”
After the referee counted ten, Aragon failed to get up. The scene was quiet for a second or two. Suddenly, a burst of warm applause broke out from the audience, and even many Cubans also applauded.
Even if Aragorn lost this game, he would have lost on the way to the charge, being generous and fierce, instead of cowering in defense and passively being beaten.
In the hearts of the combative Cubans, this was a brutal confrontation. Aragon tried his best to attack his opponent, but finally fell in the ring, even though he was defeated.
So what Link said to Aragorn at the end was not all about tactics. He also wanted to give his opponent some dignity.
"Link, you win! You defeated Aragorn, you are the champion!"
Morales, Andrzej, and people from the boxing team and coaching team shouted excitedly in the audience.
“Link!”
Fat James shouted while waving a red flag on the railing on the second floor.
"champion!"
More than a hundred people behind him stood up and shouted in unison.
“Link! Champion!”
Tyler, Mr. Swift, Selena, Catherine, Franco Duvall, Reggie and others stood up and yelled too.
“Champion Link!”
Thousands of European and American tourists and boxers watching the game at the scene clapped their hands and shouted loudly for the Link Champion.
"Link Champion! Link Champion!"
The sounds at the scene gradually became uniform.
Link stood on the boxing ring, took off his sweaty hood, faced the audience, and raised his left arm high.
Tall and strong body, solid arms, and unyielding back, standing tall in the boxing ring.
