Chapter 16 State Championship
"Link! Come on!"
"Link! You are the champion."
As Link walked into the ring, his fans cheered loudly and cheered him on.
Link waved his fist and looked at his opponent in the finals, John Stevens, who was walking across from him. He was a little taller than him, with shiny black muscles and hard bones. Link couldn't help but sigh, it was another tough battle.
"Hey, I know you, your name is Link Baker, right?"
On the boxing ring, the black boxer John waved his arms casually and said.
"Hey, I know you too."
Link nodded politely.
"Haha, it's good to know me. You fought hard in the last fight, but I am stronger than you. Today I will defeat you and make them my boxing fans."
Black John pointed at a few girls holding Link posters in the audience, grinning with white teeth.
Link shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Stevens, this is impossible. Even if you defeat me, they will not become your boxing fans."
"Holy Gift Crab, what are you talking about? You want to say that they are white girls and will not like me, a black man?"
The black man John said dissatisfiedly that if he dared to admit it, he would report him for racial discrimination on the spot.
"No, no, of course not, it has nothing to do with skin color. They like me, not only because I am a fierce boxer, but also because I have a handsome face. I think it is not just them. When I become a boxing champion in the future, there will be many The hot black girl fell in love with me and became my boxing fan. After all, I am really handsome, don't you think?" Link said with a smile.
Pooh!
Black John spat towards the ring. He felt that this guy was really shameless. He bared his white teeth and said coldly: "Boy, don't be proud. I will definitely beat you down today and make your boxing fans You know, under my fist, you are just a weakling who can only cry. Let’s see if they will like you.”
Link shook his head and glanced at him with disdain. This glance was more lethal than words. Black John suddenly became angry, cursed Fake, raised his fist and prepared to fight.
"You two, please get ready."
The on-site referee separates the two people, checks their gloves, and announces the rules of the game. There are more rules for amateur games than for bar games, but time is limited. The referee only announces a few main rules and asks both parties if they understand English and if there are any problems with their ears. , you must listen to the referee's orders during the game.
"Boxing!"
The ring referee cut off the hands to announce the start of the match.
Link raised his fists and began to jump. His eyes were fixed on his opponent's shoulders. He moved two steps forward and approached Black John.
John also stared at his position, keeping a distance of one meter from him, and did not engage in direct combat with him.
Link guessed that the opponent had probably watched his game and understood his way of playing. At the same time, the opponent was not irritated by the pre-game dispute and was a relatively calm and experienced opponent.
Very tricky!
Not easy to deal with!
Link glanced at the opponent and simply put down his hands. His arms were naturally vertical at his sides, swaying, and at the same time jumping forward to approach the opponent.
He lowered his arms, which meant giving up defense. He dared to get close to his opponent without defense. This was serious provocation and contempt in the boxing ring.
Although John was warned by his coach before the game not to risk attacking and focused on defense in the first three rounds, he was angered by Link's actions at this time. He took a step back and suddenly jumped when Link followed up. He took a step forward and punched Link in the face.
The headgear used in amateur competitions can perfectly protect the area around the forehead and both sides of the cheeks. The middle part of the face is not protected, and this is also the key area for boxers to attack.
The distance between the two parties was close, and John punched faster. When Link turned his head, John's fist quickly came over and hit the protective gear on the side of his face. Link was almost hit in the face, and his back throw punch At this time, he caught up and violently hit the black man on the forehead.
The distance between the two sides was too close. Black John noticed his move and wanted to make a strategic back move, but Link's arm was 192 centimeters away.
Bang! !
A fierce swinging fist was like a hammer, hitting the black man's face hard.
Black John was hit on the head and fell to the side and back involuntarily. He fell to the ground with a bang.
"Wow! Awesome!"
"Well done!"
This punch was shocking and dangerous, fast and fierce, and full of spectacle. It suddenly ignited the passion of the audience, and more than 5,000 spectators at the scene shouted loudly.
"Link! Champion!"
The boxing fans in the audience chanted his name excitedly.
The media and thousands of spectators at the scene also focused their attention on this boxing ring.
"There's something interesting about this boxer."
In the audience, an elegant-looking brown-haired man held his chin and nodded slightly.
"Franco, do you like him?"
The woman next to her asked, holding her child.
The brown-haired man shook his head, took out his phone and called his assistant, asking to investigate a boxer named Link Baker.
In less than two minutes, his assistant sent Link's information to his mailbox. The brown-haired man read it over with a surprised expression on his face. He called his assistant and asked: "Simon, are you sure he has the first 7 games?" In a competition, you win by KOing all your opponents? This is an amateur competition, and you can win by KOing your opponents even if you have a headgear to protect you?”
"Yes, boss, all KOs. In the Miami knockout round, all three games ended in one round. Yesterday's three games, I knocked down my opponent an average of four times in each game. He is a heavy-handed player." Assistant Simon commented.
"No, no, he is not only a heavy-armed fighter, his speed, his skills, and his boxing awareness are all extremely good, not inferior to professional boxers at all. Interesting, very interesting."
The brown-haired man put down his phone and looked at Link with shining eyes. A handsome, strong, capable, light-skinned boxer, he has considerable commercial value.
"Franco, do you want to sign him? He looks very good."
The woman in the skirt asked.
The brown-haired man stared at Link and saw him knock down the black boxer again. He couldn't help but clench his fists, knocked his knees, and said, "Wait, wait, wait, and see how he performs next. I hope he can bring me more surprises."

Bang!
In the boxing ring, in the second round, the two sides exchanged more than 30 punches, and each won and lost.
With only five seconds left before the end of the second round, Link found a flaw in the opponent, quickly approached, broke through the opponent's defense with a set of combination punches, and knocked down Black John at the corner.
Second KO!
"Hey! Good morning, Mr. Cohen, I'm Carl."
In the audience, a middle-aged black-haired man with a camera saw Link knock down the black boxer again, and couldn't help but take out his phone to call Greg Cohen, the promoter of Top Promotion Company, and solemnly recommended Link Baker, a boxer from Miami, to him.
"Carl? Where are you? Orlando? What boxer won 8 games 8 times by KO? Tell me again in detail."
Hearing Cohen's answer, the middle-aged black-haired man smiled slightly. He knew that his words aroused Greg Cohen's interest, so he told him in detail about Link's participation in the Golden Gloves Amateur Competition.
"Sounds good, Carl, you continue to pay attention to this boxer named Link. If he can make it to the Golden Gloves National Finals, I will go to meet him in person."
"Understood, Mr. Cohen, I will continue to pay attention to his games."
The black-haired man hung up the phone with a smile. He is a scout who specializes in finding young, outstanding and commercially valuable boxers or athletes for boxing promotion companies.
I heard on the news today that there was a boxing match at the Amway Arena, so I came to take a look to see if there were any talented players.
The boxers in the first few matches performed generally, and there was no target worth paying attention to. When Link came on the field, I saw that Link first gave up defense to lure the enemy, then easily dodged the opponent's fist, and at the same time used a swing punch to kill the opponent.
This punch was quite strange, quite amazing, and quite shocking.
Carl was shocked at once.
This kind of fighting style has only appeared in professional boxing matches. A rookie boxer dared to do this, and did it very beautifully.
This made Carl curious about this boxer named Link.
He called a friend to ask for Link's information. After getting the information of Link's previous matches, he further determined that this boxer named Link was very worth investing in, so he called the promoter of the top promotion company.
As long as the top promotion company is willing to sign Link, he can also get a considerable commission from it in the future.
"Link Baker, come on, keep winning, the whole American boxing world will be shocked by you."
Carl, holding an e-cigarette, smiled as Link knocked down his opponent again.
——
Bang!
On the boxing ring, Link once again broke through Black John's defense with a heavy punch, and hit him in the face with a straight punch. Black John fell to the ground for the third time and failed to get up for more than ten seconds.
Bang!
The audience cheered loudly, shouting Link's name and calling him the boxing champion.
"I declare that the winner of this game is Mr. Link Baker!"
When the referee raised his arm and announced his victory, the cameras and cameras in the audience were all aimed at him.
There were many people engaged in sports in the audience. After the finals, they picked up the phone and called the promoters of several major boxing promotion companies in the United States, including Top Rank, Matchroom Boxing, Queensberry, Golden Boy, and Premier Boxing Champions.
On this day, many promoters from American promotion companies learned the name of a new person - Link Baker.
