章節 33: Chapter 33: The Upper and Lower Horse
The anger of both sides on the ring had been stirred up by the unscrupulous host Steve.
Andre Berto glared at Link angrily, his anger overflowing.
Link looked at him calmly. He had just publicly declared that he would end the fight in five rounds. Five rounds meant ten minutes of fighting, and it was not easy to knock out a strong man in ten minutes. He had to have a strategy.
Andre Berto had heavy punches, fast speed, and good technique. He was a well-rounded opponent.
To solve him within five rounds, he had to find his "lower horse".
Only by using his "upper horse" to deal with his "lower horse" could he win.
What was Andre Berto's lower horse?
Link didn't find any obvious flaws when watching the video, but that didn't mean there was no solution.
After thinking about it, he decided to start with physical strength.
The biggest limitation of the human body is lack of physical strength. When the consumption is too large, the body's various functions and coordination will decline, and various problems caused by lack of physical strength will also appear. This is also called the weak period.
If a person has endless physical strength, he can be called a superman.
Although Link was not a superman and did not have endless physical strength, his physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people.
When diving in the sea, ordinary people would get tired after half an hour, but he could swim for half a day.
When training in the boxing gym, six hours a day was just what Mario and the others saw. When he got home, he was still training, training for more than ten hours a day, and his physical strength would recover the next day.
Physical strength was one of his trump cards that allowed him to dominate the boxing world, and it was his "upper horse" that others could never catch up to.
Link looked at Andre Berto and had an idea in his mind.
Andre Berto glared at him and mouthed the words "fake boxer."
Link smiled indifferently.
"Boxing!"
The referee on the scene checked the sealed sign, announced the precautions, and then cut his hand hard.
Before the match, Andre Berto stared at him fiercely, but after the match started, he took two steps back, more than a meter away from him, with a cautious and serious expression.
This was a calm and rational black man.
Some people said not to play mind games with black people, that was bullying.
But if you met a black person who could use his brain, it would be very difficult to deal with.
They had small heads, small targets, strong bodies, strong bones, developed motor nerves, were born athletes, and born boxers. Coupled with a smart brain, their combat effectiveness was absolutely powerful.
Seeing Andre retreating, Link waved his fists and took the initiative to attack. His tactic was to consume the opponent's physical strength as much as possible at the fastest speed.
When executing the tactic, he had to move and control the rhythm of the game in his own hands, using his own actions to mobilize the opponent's actions, and never let the opponent rest on the side.
Bang bang bang!
As soon as Link made a move, it was his most skilled and swift left jab + right jab + left jab + right jab. His hands completely abandoned defense and rained down on Andre's head.
The first five punches landed on Andre's arms, and the sixth punch broke through his defense and hit his left brow bone.
Andre was enraged and swung his fists at him, also very fast.
Link dodged sideways and backhanded a backhand punch, hitting Andre's forehead hard. He was five centimeters taller than Andre, and the hit would be a little higher.
Andre's ability to withstand blows was very good, and he had protective gear on his head, so he only staggered and stabilized his body.
"Andre, defend, don't fight head-on!"
Andre's coach shouted from the stage.
Andre raised his fists and tightly protected his head. He also understood the coach's meaning. Link publicly declared that the fight would end in five rounds. As long as he could hold on for five rounds, how could Link continue to fight?
The way to hold on was to defend fully and not give Link a chance to land a critical hit.
Seeing Andre adopt a defensive tactic, Link couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Andre had a small head and thick arms. With his arms crossed to protect his head, it was more difficult to break through.
But at this point, he could only try his best and push himself. If he didn't push himself, how could he unleash his greatest potential?
Link changed his combination punches, replacing the jab with his strongest and heaviest straight punch.
Bang bang bang!
Link swung his heavy punches, hitting Andre's turtle shell defense hard. Eight consecutive heavy punches, five were dodged by Andre, two hit his arms, and the last one hit his forehead. Andre was beaten and staggered, but he stabilized his body again. His ability to withstand blows was very strong.
"Link! Go!"
"Link! Hit him hard!"
Link's fans in the audience shouted loudly, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Link said he would KO Andre Berto in five rounds, can he do it?"
"It's too difficult, I don't believe he can do it."
"That's right, Andre Berto is no less skilled than him. If the two of them fight for ten rounds, Link might be able to win with a slight advantage in points, but it's absolutely impossible to KO Andre Berto in five rounds."
"It's not bad to lose. Link is young and impulsive, likes to brag, it's time to teach him a lesson."
In the audience, a group of promoters chatted while watching the match.
Greg Cohen looked at Link, who was constantly punching his opponent on the ring, with appreciation and amusement in his eyes.
There was a lot of news about Link's fake fights on the Internet, as well as news of several boxing champions questioning Link. Some of it was the result of his staff's operations, and some of it was probably done by Link's opponents.
After all, he had been too dazzling recently and had blocked some people's way.
The two forces converged, resulting in a huge amount of rumors online.
But because the media in Miami supported Link, and the Amateur Boxing Association also spoke out for Link, the doubts were suppressed.
The controversy actually helped Link gain fame.
It wasn't very cost-effective!
He was originally going to give up this plan and use other ways to put pressure on Link.
But just now, Link suddenly announced that he would KO Andre Berto in five rounds.
To knock out a muscular man of equal strength in five rounds?
Greg Cohen laughed out loud when he heard it. Link was too arrogant. It took him nine rounds to barely win against Jones Falls. Andre Berto was even better than Jones. It was impossible for him to KO his opponent in five rounds.
As long as Link failed to do so, the media would question his fake fights, and the public would gradually believe that he was fighting fake matches.
With the reputation of fighting fake matches, his career in the boxing world would definitely be affected, and then any blue-collar contract could sign him.
All this was thanks to Link.
Thinking of this, Greg Cohen couldn't help but smile.
The reason why he wanted to sign Link was not only because he was strong and could make money, but also because he was too strong and would pose a threat to the boxing champions under Top Rank.
As long as he signed him and let him fight the champions of other companies, and when necessary, let him give up the gold belt, or let him deliberately lose to Mayweather to increase Mayweather's winning rate, Top Rank would be invincible.
Greg Cohen smiled smugly, kid, you're too young, to be a boxing champion, it's not enough to just rely on your fists.
I'm going to win this round.
