Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 111 Beauty has a date (good luck in the Year of the Dragon)

Actually, Link would go to watch the match between Evander Holyfield and the ‘Behemoth of the East’ Nikolai Valuev without being invited by Ivaca.

Not just him, Dino, Nora Dua, Coach Brooks, and the professional boxers at the training ground all plan to go and have a look.

 Because Holyfield is the leading boxer under the main event and Valuev is under the top promotion company, this game is also jointly promoted by the two companies.

 It is reported that the prize money of this game is about 5 million US dollars.

As the current WBA boxing champion, Valuev takes the lion's share of the appearance fee, while Holyfield's appearance fee is between US$700,000 and US$1 million, which is more than 20 times less than the appearance fee for his rematch with Tyson in 1997. .

 Despite this, Holyfield is still happy to fight.

On the one hand, he also wants to win the WBA gold belt again. If he succeeds, he will become the only boxer in the history of boxing to win the WBA heavyweight title five times.

On the other hand, I heard that Holyfield’s investments have also been affected by the financial crisis, and he has a large amount of debt, just like Tyson.

After the car arrived at the Madison Square Garden Arena, Link separated from the people in the boxing ring and entered from the east entrance to a luxury box on the second floor of the arena with a good view.

There was only Eva in the box. She had long, straight golden hair, and was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and tight-fitting straight pants, which fully displayed her tall and concave figure. She held her arms and stood in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, looking out. A lively scene.

Link said hello, took off his windbreaker, hung it next to Eva's windbreaker, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to take a look.

 The WBO super middleweight competition is being held on the stage as a prelude to the heavyweight competition.

He knew one of the two people in the match, Andre Ward, a dark-skinned man who won the light heavyweight gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics and is currently the WBO North American super middleweight intercontinental champion.

 After more than a month of competition, the WBO qualifying competition has ended. Texas boxer Esteban Kamu defeated many opponents and qualified to challenge Andre Ward.

 In the second round of the game, Esteban was more active, waving his fists and attacking Andre Ward's head.

It's just that Andre's defensive skills are superb and his steps are very flexible. He retreats while fighting. Each time he retreats, the position is just where the opponent can hit. As long as the opponent attacks, he will immediately dodge. If the opponent does not attack, he will He will take the initiative to harass with punches and his fighting style is very cunning.

 In the three minutes of the second round, Esteban punched more than 90 times and was sweating. Andre punched very few times, but his movements were still very flexible.

At the beginning of the third round, Andre continued to harass his opponent and lure Esteban to take action. Until 140 seconds into the third round, Esteban took two steps back and took the initiative to distance himself from Andre in order to slow down the attack. rhythm.

At this moment Andre took action, following up closely with his opponent, punching out continuously with both fists, hitting Esteban one punch after another, four consecutive sets of combination punches, breaking through the opponent's defense, and hitting Esteban with a heavy punch. The left side of the opponent's forehead.

Esteban was knocked down, got up quickly, was knocked down again by Andre's punch, got up again, and was knocked down again.

 After being knocked down three times in one round, the referee on the boxing stage took the initiative to call a timeout and asked for the end of the game, announcing that Andre successfully defended his title.

 Pap, pah, pah!

There was a burst of warm applause, and Link also clapped his hands.

I have to say that Andre fought very well, with good technique, speed, and punch weight. He also used tactics very well. He is a very high-level boxer.

“Link, the news said that your playing style is very similar to Andre’s, which is a combination of strength and technique. If you fight against him, can you win the game within 100 seconds?”

 Ivaka turned her head and asked.

"Can!"

Link thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

At the same time, I was also thinking, if I met Andre Ward, how would I defeat him?

The opponent was the light heavyweight gold medalist at the 2004 Athens Olympics. In order to win the world boxing title, he took the initiative to lower his weight and switch to the super middleweight class.

His boxing re-evaluation is rated as A+, technique A+, speed A+, ring tactics A+, physical strength and resistance to fighting ability are temporarily unknown. Overall, he is an opponent not weaker than Aragorn. If he fights the opponent now, based on his punch weight and speed, he has a 50% chance of KOing the opponent within 100 seconds, and the other 50% depends on the opponent's ability to resist and defend.

If you delay fighting the opponent for a few months and wait until your strength and speed improve again in training, the probability of defeating the opponent within 100 seconds will also be greatly increased.

 So when faced with Iwaka’s problem, he was confident enough to say yes.

 “Are you always so confident?” Ivaca looked at him and smiled.

Link shrugged his shoulders and joked, "My strength is too high to allow me to be low-key."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies!

Ivaca glanced at him and laughed softly.

Link said this to reporters once before the final of the Amateur Golden Gloves Championship.

After being reported by the media, everyone felt that he was a very arrogant and individual person. This style would make some people like him, and some people would hate him. Those who liked him became his boxing fans, and those who hated him became his boxing fans. Just troll him on the Internet.

  But as he became the Olympic champion and WBA super middleweight champion, people who liked him liked him more, and people who hated him were also conquered by his strength, and they changed their attitudes and became his die-hard boxing fans.

 So Link doesn’t mind being hated by others, as long as he insists on doing his own thing well, he believes that one day, these people will be conquered by his performance and turn into fans.

“Link, you seem very humble and gentle in private, but you become arrogant and high-profile in public. Is this the personality you set for yourself?”

　　Eva looked at him with a smile and asked.

“Well, Dynasty Promotion is still a small company. If I want to gain a foothold in the boxing world, I need to learn to promote myself.”

“You have done a great job. There are very few boxers who have just debuted and gained such a high profile as you, as well as a match bonus comparable to that of a first-tier boxer.”

 Ivaka smiled.

Link smiled. Although he has done well, he is still far behind Mayweather, De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., the Klitschko brothers and others. He still needs to continue to work hard. .

Ivaca brushed her blond hair around her ears, invited Link to sit down, and poured him a glass of white wine.

Link sat across from him, quietly watching the other person open and pour the wine.

Eva is 26 years old this year. She is in the most attractive period of a woman. She is mature, sexy, intellectual and elegant. She exudes charming charm with every move of her hands and feet. Her every smile and frown will make people think about her. Her white and tender skin, watery honey Peach-like figure, long and slender legs.

 For such a woman, no matter in terms of body or identity, men will have a strong physiological impulse and desire to conquer.

 But after calming down, he will think of more.

Ivaca is the daughter of a wealthy family and a socialite in New York. She has followed the shrewd Mr. Thompson into the upper class society of the United States since she was a child. Her knowledge and experience are far beyond those of a second-generation person like herself, and she is also a shrewd woman.

If she just wanted to exchange some body fluids with him, it would be convenient in Miami right now, and she wouldn't have to wait until this time.

Now that the other party suddenly asked him out, Link felt that the other party's purpose was probably not for a date, but for something else.

Happy New Year everyone, I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Dragon, all the best, all your wishes come true, and everything goes well. Have a day off today, two updates.
