Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion
Chapter 247: Truly a Formidable Opponent"Link is going to lose?"
"No, come on Link!"
In the eastern section of the arena, Emma Watson shouted loudly.
"Emma, don’t forget you’re British, you should be cheering for Carl."
Robert teased her.
"Cut the crap, shout!"
"It’s useless, everyone is cheering for Carl now; only a few of us are cheering for Link, it’s not making any difference. But I think it’s only right that Link is losing; after all, he’s now a singer and doesn’t have time to train in boxing. I heard he’s also got several girlfriends; it’s inevitable that his performance would drop."
Robert shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
"Nonsense, Link won’t lose."
Emma slapped him lightly."Yes, come on Link!"
Daniel clasped his hands and shouted toward the stage.
Robert looked at him helplessly, thinking he was a bit simple-minded.
"Wow, this is my first time coming to a live match, and I never imagined the atmosphere at a boxing match would be this intense."
Adele said to Keira Knightley next to her.
She was still wearing her pretty dress, with her exquisite makeup done, and her brown big wavy hair, with eyelashes like fans on either side.
"It’s my first time watching a boxing match live as well. Watching people fight up close is indeed thrilling."
Keira Knightley supported her chin and laughed.
"Oh no, Link has been hit again, he isn’t really going to lose, is he?"
Adele clapped her hands and said, restraining her emotions to protect her voice, without joining the audience in yelling.
Keira Knightley pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn’t it good if he loses, he’s American."
"Haha, you’re right, if he loses, our country’s boxer gets another Golden Belt; if he wins, well, we’ll congratulate him. So no matter who wins or loses, it’s all good for us."
Adele laughed.
Bang!
At 105 seconds into the first round, under Carl Franke’s fierce attacks, Link was hit again and his back slammed against the ropes.
Boom!
Seeing him being pushed back by Carl Franke again, the British crowd in the venue got even more excited, and shouts of ’Go Carl,’ ’Carl must win’ were thunderous, causing the eardrums of those in the front rows to buzz from the noise. ℝÂŊŏ₿ÈṢ
"What’s happening, why is Link’s performance so weak today?"
Frank Bruno, known as the ’British Boxing King’ and former WBA Heavyweight champion, loudly asked while plugging his ears.
Lennox Lewis, with his arms folded, looking at the match on the stage, said, "This might be his tactic."
"I don’t think so."
Chris Eubank, the famous British boxer, said, "This might be the real strength of Link. Previously, he only fought in the United States, in professional matches. With the media’s hype, his ability was greatly exaggerated, transformed into an invincible boxer, a superhero boxer, an undefeated boxer, like a big bubble.
Last year, when I heard the news that he jumped three classes and defeated Tyson, I felt something was off. Now, it seems like that was just a fake match concocted by the promotional company to boost Link’s fame."
"Not likely, even if his match with Tyson was a bit staged, but defeating Miko Kessler in 101 seconds, Jermain Taylor in 98 seconds, and Pascal, those matches couldn’t possibly be fake."
Lennox Lewis, with his arms folded, shook his head as he spoke.
"I think the venue could be a factor."
Frank Bruno said, "I heard Link likes to fight home matches; every time he fights at home, he would perform spectacularly, such as in the Gold Glove Championship finals. Now, coming to London facing Carl on his turf, it’s understandable if he performs somewhat worse."
"Another thing, this guy has clearly slacked off in his training after getting the WBA title. Look at him these past two days in London, constantly attending shows, press conferences, friend gatherings, and I even heard he went to a fashion show."
Chris Eubank shook his head, "The most important thing for a boxer is focus, focusing on training, focusing on matches. When a boxer stops focusing on boxing, their decline in strength is inevitable."
Lennox Lewis didn’t argue and turned to Joe Calzaghe, who was attentively watching the match: "Joe, what do you think?"
Joe Calzaghe, former WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF Super Middleweight world champion, said: "I’m not sure, I’ve watched every match of Link, including amateur ones. He’s better in defense than in offense, but today his defense seems to have significant gaps. I’m not sure if it’s his tactic or if Carl’s offense is too sharp for him to handle."
Wow!
At 135 seconds, Carl Franke broke through Link’s defense with his fists, aiming a punch at Link’s face, only slowing down slightly, the fist just grazing past his face.
The crowd let out a disappointed sigh.
If that punch hadn’t been dodged, Link would have definitely been knocked down. Enjoy exclusive chapters from
"130 seconds! Only 50 seconds left in the first round, this is a number never seen in Link’s Super Middleweight fights before; Carl is creating a miracle."
BBC presenter Edward Campbell said excitedly to the camera.
"Link, you’re fighting terribly, can’t you keep your fists from blocking your head, throw some punches!!"
In a Fight Club in Las Vegas, United States, Tyson watched the live broadcast on TV, cursing angrily.
Next to him, ’Quickfire’ champion Chris Byrd glanced at him, took a sip of beer, and asked, "There’s a lot of media saying that last year’s match between you and Link was fixed, is that true?"
Tyson, showing his gold teeth, said: "Bullshit, that match had a prize of 10 million, split seventy-thirty. If I could have beaten him, why wouldn’t I have taken the larger share?"
