章 66: Chapter 66: Provocation
"Boxing!"
The referee came over and waved his arm.
The game continued, Link raised his fists and moved forward, approaching Aragon little by little, without fear.
While Aragon put his arms up, his shoulders moved up and down, and his feet kept changing positions.
Seeing the opponent's posture, Link knew that the opponent was more cautious and would work harder on defense. It would be more difficult to use the "injury for injury" tactic to deal with the opponent again.
However, in boxing matches, focusing on defense means another thing, which is that "the style of play tends to be conservative", at least more conservative than the first 100 seconds.
The opponent is ready to strengthen the defense, and Link's way is to continue to attack, bombard the opponent's defense line with heavy punches, and then try to find a fighter.
He swung his right straight punch to hit Aragon's head, Aragon leaned back to avoid his fist, and at the same time a left swing punch attacked Link's face from left to right.
Link ignored the opponent's left swing that was about to kill him, and almost at the same time swung his right uppercut, lifting Aragon's chin.
The main force-generating part of the swing is the chest muscles, scapular muscles, and inner arm muscles. There are many muscle groups involved, so the strength is great and the damage is great, but the attack distance is long and the speed is slow.
The main force-generating part of the uppercut is the waist and biceps. It requires fewer muscle groups and less strength, but the attack distance is short and the speed is fast.
If the uppercut and swing are launched at the same time, the hook often hits the target first.
At this time, Link's hook was launched a little slower than the opponent's swing. He didn't have a conclusion on whether it would be the last one to arrive before hitting the target, but when the enemy met on a narrow road, he might as well give it a try.
"Look!"
"They're going to trade punches again!"
The audience exclaimed loudly.
Just when everyone thought that the two were about to have a fierce collision, Aragon suddenly took a step back, retracted his left swing, and also avoided his uppercut, choosing a more conservative style of play.
The audience let out a disappointed boo.
Link looked at Aragon opposite, smiled slightly, boxing is called a "sport of the brave", Aragon actually flinched at a critical moment, indicating that the opponent had scruples in his heart and dared not go all out.
This is a good phenomenon.
Link raised his fist and took the initiative to approach Aragon, seeking a close fight.
噹噹噹!
The first round is over.
Link returned to the red rest area. In this round, the two sides fought indirectly dozens of times. During the fight, both sides had to concentrate highly. Both the spirit and the muscles were in an extremely tense state. After a game, the whole body muscles trembled.
When the first round was over, Link sat down on the round stool and accepted the services of Morales and Andrzej, including massage, feeding water, and wiping sweat, but the two big men were clumsy and didn't know how to serve people.
"Link, well done, come on, play slowly, don't be too impatient."
Although coach Ed has led the team to participate in many boxing matches, he rarely encounters a duel between boxers of the level of Link and Aragon. Both of them are evenly matched in terms of skills and other aspects, so coach Ed doesn't know how to do it. Pointing, can only say some words of encouragement, to cheer for Link.
Link nodded, and looked at Aragon in the opposite corner. Champion coach Felix was saying something to Aragon with a serious expression. No matter what he said, he probably couldn't reduce the pressure on Aragon's body and mind.
Although Aragon said he was not nervous before the game started, he was obviously nervous during the game.
Not decisive enough when attacking, hesitant when retreating, his style of play is not as flexible as before.
Link believes that at the end of the game, if Aragon fails to gain the upper hand, he will become more nervous. What Link needs to do is to disrupt his rhythm, find a chance to hit him hard, and make him more nervous. After all, his goal is to KO him to win, not simply beat him.
The time is short and the difficulty is high, so Link can only make steady progress, increasing his advantages little by little, and amplifying the opponent's disadvantages little by little.
噹噹噹!
The second round begins.
"Come on Link!"
"Link will win!"
James took the people on the second floor and shouted cheers vigorously.
Reggie and several apprentices from the boxing gym were also yelling, their voices broke through the siege of the Cuban audience and reached the ring.
Link waved his fist, walked to the middle of the ring, and looked at Aragon who was walking towards him. Aragon's expression was much calmer than before, probably because Saron's ideological work had worked. "Link, you should be nervous at this time, right?"
Aragon suddenly said coldly, his dark face made it hard to see his inner activities at this time.
Link secretly said it was interesting, "Why should I be nervous?"
"Your goal is to enter the Olympics by KOing all your opponents. For boxers of our level, failing to achieve the goal means failure. A proud person like you will never accept failure, but now it is the second round. , you tried your best to hit me only once, and you couldn't knock me down at all, shouldn't you be nervous?"
Aragon bared his teeth and said.
"That makes sense, but what does it matter? My failure only affects me alone, and if you fail, you let an American take away a victory on Cuban soil, which is not only your shame, It is also the shame of Cuba, you will be hated by the Cuban people, Aragon, are you nervous?"
"I won't lose!"
Aragon clenched his fists and glared at him coldly.
"Aragon, if I were you, I would fight him desperately. I would rather die heroically in the boxing ring than watch the enemy win. Are you just afraid of death?"
Link stared into the other person's eyes and said seriously.
Aragon gritted his braces, his arms trembling slightly.
The referee walked between the two.
"Boxing!"
Link glanced at Aragon, let out an angry shout, and raised his fist to hit the opponent on the head.
Aragon's face was dark, he blocked his straight punch with his left arm, and his right swing punch hit Link fiercely. Almost at the same time, Link raised his biceps and forearm muscles angrily, and a simple and direct left uppercut , straight up from the bottom to Aragon's chin.
This time the situation is similar to last time, last time Aragon gave in, but this time?
"Look!"
The audience widened their eyes.
Bang!
Link and Aragon were punched almost at the same time, Link was swept by Aragon's swing, his body staggered two steps to the left quickly, and leaned against the ropes.
And his left hook also came first, hitting Aragon's chin heavily.
This punch had a force of more than 1,000 pounds. Despite the double protection of the helmet and gloves, the impact force on Aragon's chin was also more than 200 pounds. His body couldn't help but lift up a little, and then he stepped back four or five times. Step, hit the corner post hard.
"Wow!"
There was an exclamation from the audience.
No one expected that the two would exchange punches again, and the way they did it was so simple and crude, it didn't look like two boxing masters were competing at all, but rather like hooligans fighting, you punch for my punch, punch to the flesh.
"This is almost a way of dying together, why do they do this?"
Host Steve looked at the boxing ring in surprise and said.
Rafael Varane shook his head and said: "The comprehensive strength of the two of them is comparable. If they play in the usual way, no one can beat the other in four rounds, and they are both eager to win the championship. At this point, the two can only exchange injuries for injuries, to see who can last longer."
"This is crazy, what if they get injured and how will they participate in the Olympics?"
"At this point, they can't control so much at all. They just want to knock down their opponents and win the game. They are fighting for honor. They are all real fighters!"
Rafael Varane shouted, waving his fist.
"Raphael, who do you think will win?"
Steve asked, holding the microphone.
Rafael looked at the boxing ring, shook his head, "The masters compete, and the outcome is often between one or two punches. It's too early to say who will win and who will lose."
