Chapter 98： Knocked down with one punch

Chapter 98 Knocked down with one punch

“Link is out!”

“Come on Link!”

After passing the inspection, Link led the team out of the arena channel. When he just walked to the exit, a beam of light shone over, illuminating his position.

The voices of many boxing fans cheering for him came from the audience.

Link waved his fist towards the audience, signed his name at the referee's table, and strode towards the ring.

The opponent Jean Pascal also got through the ropes and stood on the opposite side of the ring.

“Good afternoon, gentlemen, would you like to be interviewed by me?”

Hearing the sound, he saw his old acquaintance Steve Mandanda, wearing a suit and holding a microphone with the HBO logo, walking onto the ring, followed by an HBO camera.

This game will also be broadcast on the HBO cable channel.

“Good afternoon Steve, aren’t you a host in the studio? Why do you go to the outfield?”

Link greeted.

Steve laughed, with a flash of embarrassment on his face, and said perfunctorily, "I like running in the outfield. You know, you can make more friends when you run outside. Haha~ Link, let's talk about the game. , your opponent in this game is Mr. Jean Pascal, who has won 21 games. He is very strong, it can be said that he is no worse than you. Do you still insist on defeating him within 100 seconds? "

“Of course, I told you, the thing I don’t lack most is faith.”

Link shrugged.

Steve laughed and handed the microphone to Pascal again, "Mr. Pascal, Link has KOed seven opponents in the game so far, and the time did not exceed 21 seconds. Facing such a fierce opponent, you are confident to defeat him. ?"

“Of course, my fists are stronger than his, and I will let him know that boxers fight with their fists, not their mouths.”

Jean Pascal shouted at Link, waving his fist.

“Wow, Mr. Pascal also looks confident. This game will be very exciting. Mr. Pascal, many people have said recently that Link is a talker in name only. Do you agree with this view?”

Steve asked.

Jean Pascal glanced at Link, shrugged and said: "I admit that he has some strength, but he is definitely not as powerful as the news said. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. I am here today and I will crush it with my fists." His false aura shows you who is the super middleweight king.”

Link smiled lightly.

 Steve handed the microphone to Link again, "Link, Mr. Pascal said that you are in name only, do you admit it?"

Link looked at him speechlessly. He said before the game that he would defeat his opponent within 100 seconds. He had already stoked the fire so much that he didn't need anyone else to add fuel to the fire. But Steve was still here to stir up trouble. , clearly a bit redundant.

“Yes, Steve, I don’t admit it, so please look at my performance next, I will try to end the game in the shortest time.”

Link said into the microphone.

“Well, it seems that both sides are confident in this match, but there is only one winner. Who will win the match and become the challenger for the continental boxing championship? Let’s wait and see.”

 Steve faced the camera and said a few lines, and led the cameraman off the stage.

The ring referee came over to check the glove labels, read the rules to the two men, and then announced the start of the game.

“Boxing!”

Link raised his fist and looked at his opponent Pascal.

Data shows that Pascal is a boxer who is good at attacking. He is powerful and has fierce uppercuts and straight punches. His KO rate in professional matches is as high as 80%.

The most appropriate tactic to deal with such a boxer is to guard and defend in the early stage, use superb skills to consume the opponent's physical strength, find opportunities to counterattack in the second half of the game, and then defeat the opponent.

But Link's time is limited. The time he set for his opponent and himself is within 100 seconds, so he can't delay even a second.

When he raised his fist towards his opponent, Pascal took a step back, raised his arms, and crossed his left and right hands in front of him. This was an obvious defensive action.

The opponent's purpose is obvious, which is to delay the game until after 100 seconds.

Of course Link would not let the opponent get what he wanted. He followed Pascal's footsteps and swung his fist towards the opponent's boxing frame.

employers。

His arms are 10 centimeters longer than his opponent's, and his punches are also very fast.

He hit the opponent's arm with two straight punches in a row. The huge punch directly knocked the opponent back a step, but Pascal quickly got into position, with his arms in front of him, his steps jumping flexibly, and his eyes straight. Staring at Link.

This is much better than the performance of Link's opponents in the first seven games. In the first seven games, some of his opponents were directly knocked down by his heavy punches, and some became panicked after being hit, and did not even care about defense. superior.

Pascal’s response was more sophisticated. Link once again punched the opponent's defense. When he hit the opponent for the second time, you could clearly see that the opponent's arm muscles tightened, and he assumed a full-strength posture, focusing his whole body defense on his head.

From this point of view, the opponent was also frightened by the weight of his punch, so he tried his best to protect his head.

good chance!

Link used the jumping rope posture to follow the opponent's footsteps flexibly, swinging his left swing fist to hit the opponent's head, and almost at the same time hit the opponent's left ribs hard with a liver-blasting punch.

Well!

The opponent grunted, quickly stepped back half a step, and moved his fists defensively downward unconsciously.

Link saw the opportunity and broke through the opponent's defense with a jab, followed by a straight punch on the opponent's forehead. With more than 1,200 pounds of force, the opponent was knocked back two steps and hit the rope. Up, but not down yet.

Link secretly praised him, he is indeed the number one super middleweight in Canada, and his ability to resist fighting is really good.

Before he could catch up with his second punch, Pascal suddenly gave up his defense and swung a tricky uppercut, hitting him on the chin. If he was hit this time, Link would probably lose.

He quickly dodged sideways, and the opponent's glove grazed the side of his face. Before the opponent could counterattack again, Link took half a step forward, leaned forward, and hit the opponent's head with a right swing fist. .

His fist hit the opponent's left wrist, but the force was too great, and the opponent couldn't block it with one hand, and then hit Pascal's temple hard with his fist.

Bang! Pascal's head was shaken, and the skin on his face showed concussive ripples. He staggered to the right and fell sideways on the ring.

"Wow!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the scene.

After the referee announced the start, the audience calmed down consciously and looked at the two people in the ring seriously, one was the fast shooter Link, and the other was the Canadian super middleweight boxing champion, to see if Link could finish in 100 seconds. Defeat Pascal within.

After the game started, I saw that Link failed to knock down Pascal with one punch, and I felt that there might be changes in this game.

Pascal not only has heavy fists, but also has very high physical fitness and resistance to blows. If he defends with all his strength, it will be difficult for Link to break through his defense within 100 seconds.

But surprisingly, Link broke through Pascal's defense in the next second and knocked out his opponent with one punch.

“Great job Link!”

Coach Brooks shouted in the audience, clenching his fists.

Just now Link used the latest combination of punches practiced, head-body, head-body, head-body, hitting up and down, hitting down and hitting up, sounding east and west, combining virtual and real.

This kind of combination punch has low technical content and can be learned by everyone, but the effect of using it will be different for each person depending on the boxer's condition.

Ordinary boxers have little strength and slow speed. Using this combination of punches cannot achieve the effect of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, combining virtual and real.

Link is different. Link is faster than boxers of the same level, and his punch weight is comparable to that of a heavyweight boxer. In his hands, this combination of punches will become a killer move.

Link first hits his opponent on the head with his fist. Due to his strong strength, the opponent has to defend the head position with all his strength, and the chest and abdomen will naturally be exposed.

At this time, Link took advantage of the opportunity and succeeded with a quick and fierce liver-blasting sneak attack.

The opponent received a punch in the ribs, and the center of defense naturally shifted downwards. The door to his head was wide open. Link punched him again, and Pascal was knocked down directly.

“.5, 4, 3, 2, 1!”

The referee squatted beside Pascal and counted down to 10. Pascal struggled for a while, stood up, swayed twice and then sat down on the ground again. It was obvious that the punch just now was very uncomfortable.

“Yay! Link wins!”

Morales roared excitedly and jumped up from his chair.

“Haha, it’s so fierce!”

Dinodua clapped his hands and laughed, "Simon, how many seconds?"

“42 seconds!”

“42 seconds? Pascal is the number one super middleweight player in Canada. Link only took 42 seconds to defeat his opponent. It was so fierce.”

Dino shouted excitedly, waving his fists.

“Link, the champion of boxing!”

In the audience, many boxing fans also shouted loudly.

Link waved his fist and stepped off the ring.

Although it was easy to win this match, it was the result of his hard training, because he kept training, constantly improving his strength and speed, and accumulated a lot of experience before he could hit the winning punch in the match.
