Chapter 57 Anesthesiologist vs. Rock

Link's hesitation lasted only a second before he forgot about it.

In the competition on the stage, every second counts. Since he has made up his mind to KO his opponent, he must do everything he can to knock him down. Hesitation, hesitation, and self-doubt will lead to a complete defeat.

After the game started, Link turned on the iron-making mode, pressing Peters with his footsteps, and punching Peters' arms continuously, one punch after another.

Peters' body is very strong, and the opponent has protective gear on his body, so the fight is like hitting a wooden board, making a puffing sound.

Moreover, the opponent's defense is also very good. His arms tightly protect his head and ribs, protecting the effective parts very tightly. No matter where he hits, Peters' fists and arms will arrive in time to make up for the defense and break the block.

In the first round, Link threw 87 punches, 35 heavy punches, an average of one heavy punch every four seconds, and only two heavy punches accurately hit the opponent's ribs. Because the opponent's ribs are protected by protective gear, the two punches did not cause much damage to the opponent.

But after Link finished a round, he was sweating.

"Link, have you ever thought about changing your fighting style?"

Coach Ed sprayed water on him with a water bottle and said, "I'm not asking you to give up KO. I mean, switch from offense to defense. I also saw the match between you two just now. Not only you are attacking Peters, but Peters is also attacking you. He just hit your effective parts at least twice.

The meaning is very clear. He doesn't recognize your strength, nor does he think you can KO him, so he also wants to fight back and score points from you. Why don't you do a good job of defense first, consume the opponent's strength, and then fight back in the third round, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

Coach Ed knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he changed his persuasion method.

Link listened to Ed's words and looked at Peters, a Haitian man at the opposite corner.

In previous competitions, because the opponents were not strong, physically strong, fast, or had insufficient resistance to blows, every time he threw a heavy punch, those opponents would switch from the offensive end to the defensive end, guarding tightly, fearing that they would be knocked down by his heavy punch, such as Andre Berto.

But it was different with Peters. Peters was not afraid of his punches and believed that he could take his punches. His punches had no deterrent effect on Peters, and Peters even wanted to use his punches to deter him.

Perhaps in Peters' heart, he was the weaker party.

This discovery surprised Link. After so many games, he was often called an anesthesiologist and a KO maniac. This was the first time he was regarded as the weaker party.

He spit out the water in his mouth, and an idea came to his mind. He decided to try it out to see if this idea was right.

At the beginning of the second round, Link and Peters walked to the middle of the ring.

"Hey, Peters, your defense is very good."

Link said appreciatively.

Peters snorted with his short nose and had no intention of speaking.

Link stared at his opponent's expression and saw a hint of contempt in his eyes.

This discovery also made Link feel very interesting. He had played so many games and KOed 20 opponents. This was the first time he was despised in a game.

He was not unfamiliar with this kind of contempt, but very familiar with it.

When he first learned boxing from Lao Liu, he was short, thin, crude in technique, clumsy in steps, and had almost no advantages except for his great strength.

Boxing is the world of the strong.

He also encountered a lot of ridicule, contempt, and disdain, and his first nickname was "miner".

In order not to be laughed at and despised, he trained in the boxing gym every day, punching the sandbag one by one, lifting the barbell heavier than himself again and again, and he didn't know how many times he was injured, but he didn't give up training.

In the contempt of others, he also grew up little by little, so he was very sensitive to such eyes.

After realizing the other party's thoughts, Link decided to test it. If the other party really despised him, it would definitely be good news.

He followed Peters' steps and continued to attack, but the attack density in the second round was lower than the first round, and the power was much smaller.

This also gave Peters a chance to fight back.

After his attack failed, Peters took the opportunity to punch him in the chest with a straight punch. Link was beaten back a step. Peters was relentless and followed with several straight punches and jabs, hitting Link's ribs and shoulders quickly.

Link staggered back and leaned his back against the ropes.

"Wow!"

There was a burst of exclamations from the scene, especially from the American boxing team.

In the past, Link always beat others and beat his opponents back again and again, but now he was beaten back by his opponent again and again. This phenomenon was too rare, and everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Is Peters so strong? Even Link can't bear it?"

Andre Berto and others looked at the boxing ring in shock. They all knew how strong Link's ability to resist was, but now Link couldn't take Peters's punch. How heavy was Peters' punch? Could it be that he was stronger than Link?

Link's punches weigh more than 1,000 pounds, and Peters is stronger than him, so isn't he a world champion?

"Will Link be knocked out?"

Jones Foles asked.

Everyone was shocked by his question.

If the knockout maniac Link is knocked out, it will definitely be the biggest news in the boxing world in 2008, even bigger than the news that British boxing champion Joe Calzaghe defeated Bernard Hopkins.

On the ring, after Link hit the ropes, the offensive and defensive situation of both sides changed instantly.

Peters changed from passive defense to active counterattack, swinging his fists and hitting Link's arms one by one, as if trying to break Link's defense and knock him to the ground.

But Link's speed and reaction ability far exceeded him. When defending, Link raised his arms, moved flexibly, and dodged his head flexibly, avoiding the opponent's heavy punches again and again.

At the end of the second round, Peters hit 85 punches, most of which were heavy punches.

At the beginning of the third round, Peters continued to attack, and his punch weight was slowly decreasing, about the level of Mario, and his body was sweating profusely.

Link continued to defend in this round, and his defense was still watertight, not broken by Peters once, and his cheeks were still clean.

"It turns out that Link is not only good at attacking, but also extremely meticulous on the defensive end."

Saon exclaimed.

In the previous few matches, although Link also defended, he was mostly on the offensive and did not show much defensive ability. In this round, Peters attacked with all his strength, but he could not break Link's defense, not even once.

Savon looked at Link with more and more appreciation in his eyes, because he suddenly found that Link was a perfect boxer. Even if Link was defeated by Peters in this round, he showed extremely high talent in offense, defense, speed, strength, mentality, and boxing quality.

Except for being too flamboyant, this is almost a perfect boxing apprentice.

"No matter how good the defense is, it's useless. The third round is about to end, and he hasn't scored a few points. The ending is almost doomed."

Aragorn shook his head.

"Do you think Link will fail?"

Rosnier asked back.

"Not completing the KO is a failure."

Aragorn said.
