Chapitre 56: Chapter 56: The Fourth Round
The competition has reached the fourth round, the top five, and only one person will be eliminated in this round.
Link VS Haitian boxer Calvin Peters;
Lorenzo Aragon VS Douglas Silva from Jamaica.
Fernando Vargas of Mexico VS Venezuelan boxer 'Alva Enriquez'.
Alva is the number one Venezuelan boxing team. He was defeated by Aragon in the second round. He then won five challenge matches in a row, defeating five opponents including Andre Berto, and qualified to compete for the top three. He is very strong.
It is said that if he hadn't met Aragon, he would have been promoted in the second round and would not need to participate in the challenge at all.
The first match of the fourth round was Aragon VS Silva from Jamaica.
Both of them are black, Silva's skin color is darker, and his body is also very strong, but after meeting Aragon in the ring, he is completely at a disadvantage.
Although Aragon looks very proud, he is indeed very strong. He has long arms, great strength, and continuous offensive. He often seizes opportunities and scores consecutive points on the opponent.
He is also very good at guerrilla warfare, his footsteps are constantly changing, and he often fights around his opponents, making them dizzy.
One more thing, his physical strength is also very abundant. After playing three rounds, he ran around on the stage and punched more than 400 punches, and he didn't sweat much.
In comparison, Link sweated a lot in the first three games.
"How do you feel?"
Coach Ed asked.
"Very powerful."
Link nodded.
Coach Ed frowned. The strength Aragon showed was not inferior to Link's. If Link was willing to use scoring to play the game, he still had a chance to win, but it was almost impossible to KO Aragon.
It's just that Link is a bit obsessed with his goal, and persuasion is useless.
"Don't worry, Ed, I can KO him."
"How to KO?"
"Hit hard!"
The game on stage ended, and the referee pulled Aragon and Douglas Silva to stand in the middle of the ring, facing the chief referee's seat.
The Olympic Games uses computer scoring, and the referee will score according to the number of times the boxer hits the opponent.
In the game, if a boxer hits the front or side of the opponent's head, waist and above with the peak of any fist (the color of the peak of the glove is different, mostly white) without any block, it will be counted as 1 point.
In the continuous close combat between the two athletes, according to the degree of advantage of the two sides in the fight, the score will be awarded to the athlete with the greater advantage, and the one with the greater advantage will get 1 point.
Knocking down the opponent in the game counts as 1 point each time.
The referee will score quickly after the boxer hits the opponent.
Three or more of the five referees press the button at the same time, which counts as 1 point, and if there are less than three people, the computer score does not increase.
In the end, the scores of the two were 32:14. Aragon defeated his opponent by a large margin. This was the fourth time Aragon scored more than 30 points in four rounds, which was quite impressive.
"Link, can you do it?"
Andre Berto asked.
Link thought for a while, it should be possible, but it is extremely difficult to control the score to more than 30 points in every game.
Because the time of the qualifiers is too short and the opponents are too strong, it is not much easier to hit the opponent's effective parts accurately and forcefully more than 30 times within four rounds than KO.

The second match, Fernando Vargas of Mexico VS Venezuelan boxer 'Alva Enriquez'.
The two sides played four rounds, and finally Alva Enriquez defeated Fernando Vargas, the number one Mexican team 24:21, and successfully completed a comeback.
It caused a lot of admiration at the scene.
Alva was eliminated in the second round, and then he succeeded in five consecutive challenge matches, and then he succeeded in reversing Fernando in Mexico in the 5-in-3 match. His strength is very strong.
Thanks to this counter-kill, Alva Enriquez once surpassed Link and Aragon, becoming the biggest highlight of this Olympic qualifier.
The third game is Link against Haitian boxer Calvin Peters, 23 years old, black, nicknamed "The Rock", 182 cm tall, 183 cm arm length, amateur competition record of 44 wins and 1 loss, the only loss was last year Lost to Aragon at the Pan American Games.
He has a strong and strong figure, like a black reef by the sea, with extremely high resistance to blows and extremely tenacious willpower.
According to his data, in the past 44 games he has experienced, he has never been knocked down, not even Aragon.
Since Link and "The Rock" Peters are both celebrities in the boxing world.
On the day of the competition, more than 3,000 spectators came to the scene, crowding the cultural and sports center venue. Among these people, there were ordinary citizens, hundreds of boxers who came to participate in the competition, and dozens of media reporters. Everyone wants to see if KO madman Link can knock down Rock Peters within four rounds, and also wants to see how long Rock Peters can last under Link's heavy blows, and whether he will kill Link.
Even the "Miami Herald" published a comment on this game, saying that this is a contest between a hammer and an iron block. Whether the hammer smashes the iron block or the iron block breaks the hammer, the two still need to fight.
However, the "Miami Herald" is also a bit pessimistic about the outcome of the game, because Link said before the game that he would win by knocking out all opponents, which means that he not only has to beat Peters, but also be able to completely knock him down, that is, knock Peters unconscious , unable to get up for ten seconds.
But to knock down a boxer like Peters, the success rate is extremely low.
Editor-in-chief Rafael Varane finally advised Link in the article to temporarily give up the plan to win the game by knocking out his opponent, and first win by points to get the Olympic spot. With his strength, it is not difficult to win a medal in the Olympics.
He also said that he is young, in a period of growth, and has great potential. Even if he encounters setbacks, he should not be discouraged. If he persists, he will definitely achieve great achievements in boxing in the future.
Editor-in-chief Rafael Varane is like a psychiatrist. Before the game even started, he did psychological counseling for Link to prevent him from falling into a slump after losing.
Even the local casinos in Havana opened a handicap for the two, and the odds of Link KOing Peters to win were as high as 1:10. I heard that many people bet on it.
Under the rendering of this atmosphere, Link couldn't help but doubt himself a little, can he really get a KO from such a powerful opponent?
When he stepped onto the boxing ring, his opponent "The Rock" Peters had already arrived, wearing blue protective gear, standing on the boxing ring like an iron tower, with a black head and a dull expression.
Link looked at the opponent, he was indeed a powerful opponent.
This person is probably the biggest challenge I have encountered since my debut. It must be very difficult to knock him down, but if I can knock him down, it is equivalent to completing a difficult challenge, and my mentality will become stronger , the game experience will also be richer.
It's like a process of accumulating mentality. The more victories, the stronger the mentality. A person with a strong mentality is the real strong.
So no matter how difficult it is, he must be knocked down.
"Come on Link!"
Morales and several people shouted loudly.
"I will!"
Link raised his fist and waved.
"Boxing!"
After the game started, Link waved his fists and launched a tentative attack on his opponent.
He wants to use his fists to test the opponent's reaction ability, punch weight, and how well the defense is done.
These boxing qualities cannot be seen through the videotape. You need to play on the field in person and compare them with yourself before you can make a judgment.
After more than ten exchanges of punches, Link found that the opponent's reaction ability was average, about B+;
The punch weight is at least 900 pounds or more, heavier than the punches of Morales, Mario, and Rosniel. After being hit, the arm is numb, and if hit on both ribs, there will be an urge to vomit blood.
Peters' arms are very strong, when he raises them to defend, Link's heavy punches can hardly break through his outer defense, and the defense strength is at least A+, or S-.
Link couldn't help but worry a little.
In previous amateur competitions, because the opponents were not as strong as him, he was used to using heavy punches to blast away the opponent's defense, and then used jab + straight punch + swing to hit the opponent's head, causing the opponent to be knocked down or completely defeated. knocked down.
Now that I have encountered a tough stubble, my heavy punches can't break through the opponent's outer defense at all, how can I fight?
"If Link insists on KO, he
