Chapter 547: Battle with Old Huo

Bang bang bang!

Since there is another boxing match in October, Link not only takes care of the children and the women at home, but also seizes the time to train. He practices five or six hours a day at the Muscle Beach Club to improve his strength.

After unremitting training, his strength, speed, endurance and explosive power have been significantly improved.

The maximum weight of the right fist is 1720 pounds, and the average weight of ten punches is 1620 pounds, which is nearly 40 pounds more than the test at the end of last year.

The maximum weight of the left fist is 1680 pounds, and the average weight is 1500 pounds, which is 35 pounds more than the end of last year.

In terms of speed, with a weight of 50 pounds, the speed of 100 meters is 11.6 seconds, and the 400-meter weighted run is about 45.1 seconds. There is also a significant improvement in the 10-kilometer test.

In the reaction speed test, through the touch cursor test, the reaction speed of ordinary people is 0.2-0.4 seconds, while his is 0.106-0.139 seconds, which is a superhuman level.

If he continues to improve at the current speed, his right fist is expected to exceed 1,800 pounds in two years, and his left fist will exceed 1,700 pounds. He will also be faster and have more endurance.

At the end of October, he led his team to Las Vegas to participate in the heavyweight boxing match, and his opponent was veteran Evander Holyfield.

Old Holyfield is 51 years old this year, the oldest boxer in the boxing world today.

He was originally planning to retire from the boxing world this year, but after receiving the invitation to the match arranged by Dynasty Sports, he decisively agreed, even though his appearance fee for this match was only 1 million US dollars.

Old Holyfield is 189 cm tall and has an arm length of 198 cm. He debuted in 1984 and has a professional record of 57 fights, 10 losses and 2 draws.

He once became the world champion of the three major organizations in the light heavyweight category in 1990, and defeated American boxer James Douglas in October 1990 to become the world champion of the three major organizations in the heavyweight category.

In the following two decades, he won the WBA heavyweight championship 4 times and the IBF heavyweight championship 3 times, setting many records.

During his career, he defeated boxing stars such as George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, and John Ruiz, and is also considered one of the most skilled heavyweight boxers in the world.

Since this was Holyfield's last fight in the boxing world, his opponent was Link, the big boss of the boxing world, and this match also attracted the attention of many boxing fans.

On the day of the match, the MGM Grand Plaza was packed with about 18,000 people, including more than 200 boxing stars, including Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Hasim Rahman, Mayweather, Chris Byrd, Hopkins, De La Hoya, Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan, etc.

The camera on the scene swept around the audience, all of which were strong professional boxers.

"Link is too cunning. After being promoted to heavyweight, he specifically looked for old men to fight."

De La Hoya hugged his arms, looked at the young and strong Link on the ring, and the old Ho opposite, curled his lips, and felt that even if Link defeated the old Ho, it would not be fair.

"You better watch your words, who is the old man?"

James Tony said unhappily.

"Although Evander is old, his fists are still very hard. It's not easy for Link to beat him."

Bernard Hopkins said.

"How difficult is it? If Link wants to fight quickly, the fight can be basically resolved within three rounds. If he fights slowly, he can tire old Ho to death in ten rounds. It's not difficult."

De La Hoya said.

"Link, come on!"

In the front row of the audience, Mario waved his fist and shouted.

"Don't shout so loudly, Link doesn't need to cheer for this game."

Dino Duva, who had "Lard Rice" tattooed on his arm, said.

"Link is really promising. After sweeping all the masters in the super middleweight class, he continued to sweep the light heavyweight class, and now he has jumped to the heavyweight class. It would be great if I were as good as him."

Mario puffed up his thick arms and said with regret.

Dino Duva glanced at him and felt very sorry. He originally thought that Mario and Link, boxers from the same boxing gym, would have some gaps, but not too big. This was why he signed Mario and became his agent.

But he was proved wrong. Sometimes the gap between two boxers is bigger than that between a kangaroo and a mouse.

Link's current professional record is 35 wins and 35 wins, a Grand Slam of the four major organizations in the super middleweight class, and a Grand Slam of the four major organizations in the light heavyweight class.

His achievements in the boxing world are unprecedented and unmatched.

Mario's current record is 15 wins and 7 losses. He retreated from the light heavyweight class to the light heavyweight class, but still lost.

It's not that he didn't train hard. The main reason is still in his talent. His physical strength, reaction speed, tactics, mentality, etc. These talents and qualities cannot reach the level of first-class boxers. Even if he practices hard, he can't gain a foothold in the boxing world.

Mario also lost too much. After two years of enjoying the dividends of Link's "senior brother", he became an ordinary boxer again. His appearance fee has also dropped from more than 100,000 US dollars in 10 years to several thousand now.

Link's appearance fee increased from several million to more than 100 million.

The gap between the two was too big.

"Boxing!"

The match on the ring began. After two attempts, Link took the lead in attacking. Holyfield raised his fists, ready to use superb defensive skills to delay the game, or even find a chance to defeat Link.

After Link started the attack, he did not immediately use the "heavy punch". He used superb combination punches to attack Holyfield's defense line, ready to compete with him in technology.

After Holyfield understood his intentions, he gradually relaxed his defense and used his superb skills to compete with Link.

"Evander was fooled."

James Tony slapped his knees and shouted, "Link is very cunning. He often deliberately uses false moves to set up traps for others during matches. When the opponent falls into the trap, he will immediately take action and catch the opponent off guard." . Evander is too careless and will suffer a big loss this round.”

When he competed with Link last time, he prepared to defend to the death, but he didn't expect that Link would use the tactic of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. He first hit his defense on the left side hard, and when he shifted the focus of defense to the left side, Link suddenly changed from Onslaught from the right.

At that time, he was staggered by the beating, and then he retreated steadily. If he hadn't been fooled that time, he didn't believe that he wouldn't have been able to last for three rounds.

"Eh~"

James Tony watched for a while and found that Link had no intention of cheating Holyfield. He was seriously competing with Lao Huo in boxing skills. There were several times when Lao Huo was too slow and couldn't defend as well, revealing a big flaw. Link also He didn't take advantage of the situation and kill Lao Huo with one punch.

"Haha, are you stupid? Link now likes to be a boxing coach for people. Before the game, he said that he would defeat Evander with pure skills. In this way, he wanted to show everyone the subtleties of boxing. Doing boxing promotion.”

Hoya grinned.

James Tony frowned, "Why didn't you play like this when you competed with me last time?"

"No need to ask, he must think your skills are too rough."

"Fart! I defeated Evander in 2003. It was all about technique."

James Tony curled his thick lips and said dissatisfiedly.

In October 2003, he fought against Lao Huo and won by technical knockout in the ninth round.

"What's the use of saying all this? I wasn't knocked unconscious by Link in the end."

Hoya smiled.

"It's as if you didn't. I remember that time you were beaten to the ground by Link and couldn't get up."

"Shut up!"

Hoya darkened his face and stopped talking.

After the first round of the match in the boxing ring, take a short break and continue with the second round.

In this round, the two sides still competed technically, punching back and forth, and the fight was very intense. Although Holyfield was older, he had a strong body, long arms, and rich competition experience.

He often uses tricky combination punches to cause trouble for Link.

In this round, Lao Huo punched 122 times, hitting Link's body 9 times and hitting Link's head 0 times.

Link punched 143 times, hitting Lao Huo's head 6 times, causing Lao Huo to be knocked down once.

In this round, Lao Huo punched more times, and Link took the lead and ran around. After the second round, Lao Huo was panting like an ox, and his dark skin was covered with shiny sweat.

"Evander is still getting old."

Mike Tyson sighed.

"You may not be able to play well when you are young. Link's skills are very comprehensive. I have watched all his game videos and I can't find his weak point."

'Big' George Foreman marveled.

"Can anyone in boxing beat Link?"

Shaquille O'Neal looked at the black boxers around him and asked.

People around him hesitated and said that the Klitschko brothers should be able to defeat Link.

O'Neal was not satisfied with this answer because the Klitschko brothers are also white.

He asked if any black boxer could beat Link, because everyone knew that black boxers were the best in boxing and had dominated the heavyweight class for decades.

"."

The surrounding black boxers fell silent. After thinking for a while, they could only say helplessly that in the current super middleweight, light heavyweight, cruiserweight, and heavyweight fields, black boxers have no advantage. If Link fights light weight, In terms of weight, Mayweather should be able to beat him.

"Why is this happening? Don't black people practice boxing now?"

O'Neill asked.

"Of course I'm practicing, but Link is too powerful and no one is his opponent."

Hopkins spread his hands and said.

"Is Link that powerful? I think I can defeat him if I go up."

O'Neal said, holding a fist as big as a sandbag.

——

The game continued in the boxing ring. In the third round, Holyfield consumed too much and his movements became slower and full of flaws.

Link had no intention of continuing to compete with his opponent's skills, and continued to throw heavy punches. He knocked down Holyfield twice at 27 seconds and 54 seconds. The second time he was knocked down, Holyfield failed to get up within seconds.

Link won the game easily.

His total income for this game was US$85 million, of which 2.63 million PPV copies were sold, which was slightly less than the previous game.

But the impact of this game was greater than the last.

This is Holyfield's final battle, the veteran's curtain call, announcing the end of an era, which is nostalgic.

In addition, in this game, Link and Holyfield showed superb offensive and defensive skills. It was also called a classic fight by "The Ring". The game video has also become a material for many boxers to study and learn boxing techniques. .
