Chapter 98: One Punch Knocks Out

"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.

There were many boxing fans cheering for him in the audience.

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

His 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?"

When I heard the sound, I saw my old acquaintance Steve Mandanda, wearing a suit and holding a microphone with the HBO logo, walking onto the ring, followed by an HBO camera.

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

"Good afternoon Steve, aren't you a host in the studio? Why are you running 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, and 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, what I don't lack most is confidence."

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 punches are stronger than his, and I will let him know that boxers fight with their fists, not their mouths."

Jean Pascal shouted at Link, shaking his fist.

"Wow, Mr. Pascal seems very 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 softly.

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.

"Okay, 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, then 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, has great strength, and is very fierce in uppercuts and straight punches. His KO rate in professional matches is as high as 80%.

To deal with such a boxer, the most appropriate tactic is to defend tightly 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 waste 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, which was an obvious defensive move.

The opponent's purpose is obvious, which is to delay time and 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.

Bang bang!

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. However, 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 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, he 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-exploding punch.

Well!

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

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

Link secretly praised, worthy of being the number one super middleweight in Canada, his ability to withstand blows was indeed good.

Before he could follow up with the second punch, Pascal suddenly gave up defense and threw a tricky uppercut at his chin. If he was hit, Link would probably be injured.

He quickly dodged sideways, and the opponent's boxing gloves brushed his side face. Without waiting for the opponent to punch again, Link took a half step forward, leaned forward, and hit the opponent's head with a right swing.

His fist hit the opponent's left wrist, but the force was too great, and the opponent could not block it with one hand, and the swing punch continued to hit Pascal's temple fiercely.

Bang! Pascal's head shook, and his facial skin showed oscillating ripples. He staggered to the right and fell sideways on the ring.

"Wow!"

There was a cry of surprise from the scene.

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

After the game started, seeing that Link failed to knock down Pascal with one punch, I felt that there would be variables in this game.

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

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

"Link did a great job!"

Coach Brooks shouted with his fist clenched in the audience.

Just now, Link used the latest combination punch, head-body, head-body, head-body, hit up and hit down, hit down and hit up, make a feint to the east and attack the west, and combine the real and the fake.

This combination punch does not require high technical content, and everyone can learn it, but the effect of each person using it is different according to the situation of the boxer.

Ordinary boxers have little strength and slow speed. Using this combination punch cannot achieve the effect of making a feint to the east and attacking the west, and combining the real and the fake.

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

Link first hits the opponent's head with his fist. Because of his great strength, the opponent has to defend the head position with all his strength, and the chest and abdomen position will naturally be exposed.

At this time, Link took advantage of the opportunity and sneaked in with a fast and fierce liver-blasting punch.

The opponent was hit in the ribs, and the center of gravity of defense naturally moved down, and the head was wide open. Link hit another heavy punch, and Pascal was knocked down directly.

".5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

The referee squatted beside Pascal and counted down to 10. Pascal struggled, stood up, shook twice and sat down again. It was obvious that the punch just now was very uncomfortable.

"Yeah! Link won!"

Morales shouted excitedly and jumped up from the chair.

"Haha, too fierce!"

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

"42 seconds!"

"42 seconds? Pascal is the first super middleweight in Canada. Link defeated him in only 42 seconds. It's too fierce."

Dino waved his fist and shouted excitedly.

"Link, the champion!"

In the audience, many boxing fans also shouted loudly.

Link waved his fist and walked off the boxing ring.

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