Chapter 163: Chapter 154: The Competition

The 2009 National Amateur Boxing Championship was held in the City of Louisville, Kentucky, in the Middle East part of the United States.

Kentucky, seemingly unremarkable among the large states in the United States, is the home of Colonel Sanders.

Louisville may sound ordinary too, but it is the birthplace of the champion boxer Ali.

The championship took place at John's Cardinal Stadium, a large multipurpose sports complex that could accommodate nearly 80,000 spectators.

At noon, Link, wearing a baseball cap, entered the stadium with Dino, Simon, and Morales. There weren't many spectators, about twenty thousand, and in the middle of the two boxing rings, the semi-finals for the Super Featherweight division at 48kg and the Super Heavyweight division over 92kg were taking place.

The contestants, dressed in red and blue protective gear and competition T-shirts, were attacking each other. Since the Super Heavyweight contestants were larger, they attracted more viewers.
