Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

Chapter 033 Superior Horses and Inferior Horses

The anger of both competitors in the ring had been stirred up by the unscrupulous host, Steve.

Andrea Berto glared at Link, his rage at its peak.

Link calmly regarded him, having just publicly declared that he would end the fight within five rounds, a competitive period of ten minutes. Knocking out a tough guy in ten minutes was not easy, needing strategy.

Andrea Berto had heavy punches, quick speed, and good technique; he was a well-rounded opponent.

To defeat him within five rounds, it was essential to find his weak point.

Using his strengths against Andrea's weaknesses, victory could be achieved.

What was Andrea Berto's weakness?

While watching the video, Link hadn't spotted any obvious flaws, but that didn't mean there weren't solutions.

After much consideration, he decided to focus on stamina.

The greatest limitation of the human body is a lack of stamina. Excessive exertion causes a decline in bodily functions and coordination, leading to various problems from stamina deficiency, also known as the period of vulnerability.

If a person had endless stamina, they could be called superhuman.

Although Link was not superhuman, nor did he have endless stamina, his stamina far exceeded that of ordinary people.

While diving in the sea, normal people would get tired after half an hour, but he could swim for half a day.

In the boxing gym, six hours a day was what Mario and the others saw, but back at home, he continued training, more than ten hours a day, and his stamina would be fully restored by the next morning.

Stamina was one of his trump cards in dominating the boxing world, an advantage others could never match.

Link looked at Andrea Berto and formed a plan in his mind.

Andrea Berto shot him a glare and silently mouthed "faker" at him.

Link smiled indifferently.

"Boxing!"

The on-site referee checked the seal, announced the precautions, and then decidedly cut the air with his hand.

Before the match, Andrea Berto glared at him menacingly, but as soon as the match started, he voluntarily stepped back two steps, staying more than a meter away from him, his expression cautious and serious.

This was a calm and rational black man.

Some said you shouldn't play mind games with black men, as it was unfair.

But facing a black man who could think strategically was particularly challenging.

They often have smaller targets due to their compact head size, sturdy bodies, strong bones, and well-developed motor skills, making them natural athletes and born boxers. Combined with a clever brain, their combat power was formidable.

Seeing Andrea step back, Link swung his fists, taking the initiative to attack and aiming to exhaust Andrea's stamina as rapidly and extensively as possible.

When executing the strategy, it was crucial to get moving, take control of the match's rhythm, and provoke the opponent into action, never allowing him to rest on the sidelines.

Bang Bang Bang!

Link's first moves were his best and fastest: left jab + right jab + left jab + right jab, completely abandoning defense, raining down on Andrea's head like droplets.

The first five punches landed on Andrea's arms, but the sixth broke through his guard and struck his left eyebrow.

The hit enraged Andrea, who threw punches back at him with great speed.

Link sidestepped and countered with a rear hook punch that harshly landed on Andrea's forehead. Since he was five centimeters taller than Andrea, the punch hit a bit higher.

Andrea had excellent resistance to getting hit, and with the headgear, he only staggered before stabilizing his body.

"Andrea, defend, don't fight back hard!"

Andrea's coach shouted from below the stage.

Andrea raised his fists, closely guarding his head. He understood his coach's intention. Since Link had publicly declared to end the fight in five rounds, all Andrea had to do was last those rounds without falling. How would Link continue after that?

The method to endure was to focus entirely on defense and not give Link any chance for a knockout blow.

Seeing Andrea adopt a tight defensive strategy, Link felt a bit disappointed. Andrea had a small head and thick arms, his arms crossed and guarding his head, making it difficult to break through.

But at this point, he could only do his best and push himself. Without pushing himself, how could he unleash his maximum potential?

Link changed his combination punches and replaced the penetrating jabs with the strongest and heaviest straight punches.

Bang, bang, bang!

Link swung his heavy punches, furiously beating Andrea's shell-like defense. Out of eight heavy punches, Mario dodged five, two hit his arms, and the last one hit his forehead, making Andrea stagger but then stabilize. His ability to take punches was very strong.

"Link! Keep it up!"

"Link! Hit him hard!"

The fans in the stands shouted loudly for Link, making the atmosphere very lively.

"Link said he would KO Andrea Berto within five rounds, can he do it?"

"It's too hard, I don't believe he can do it."

"You're right. Andrea Berto's skills are not inferior to his, even if they fought for ten rounds, Link might win by a slight point advantage, but knocking out Andrea Berto in five rounds is absolutely impossible."

"It's not bad to lose, Link is young and impulsive, loves to talk big. It's time he learned a lesson."

In the stands, a group of promoters watched the match and chatted.

Greg Cohen looked at Link who continuously threw punches at his opponent, his eyes filled with admiration but also mockery.

There were many online rumors about Link throwing fake punches, as well as several boxing champions questioning Link. Some of this was orchestrated by his own staff, and some probably by his opponents.

After all, his recent brilliant performance had obstructed some people's paths.

When these two forces joined, the online rumor noise became significant.

But since the media in Miami strongly supported Link, and the amateur boxing association also spoke out for him, the questioning voices were suppressed.

In the midst of these arguments, Link's reputation actually got boosted.

Not very cost-effective!

He had planned to give up this plot and pressurize Link in other ways.

But just now, Link suddenly declared he would KO Andrea Berto within five rounds.

To knock out a muscle-bound strongman of equal strength within five rounds?

Greg Cohen laughed heartily upon hearing this. Link was too arrogant. He struggled to secure a victory against Jones Fullos after nine rounds. Andrea Berto was more formidable than Jones; he couldn't possibly KO him within five rounds.

As long as Link didn't achieve this, once the media erupted with accusations of him throwing fake punches, people would gradually believe that he was involved in staging fights.

With a reputation for throwing fake punches, his career in the boxing world would definitely be affected. By then, any blue-collar contract could sign him.

All this was thanks to Link's actions.

Thinking of this, Greg Cohen couldn't help but smile slightly.

His desire to sign Link was not just because of his strong ability and earning potential but also because Link was so powerful that he posed a threat to the top-level boxers under top promoters.

If he could sign Link and have him fight boxers from other companies, when necessary, either give up the Golden Belt or have him deliberately lose to Mayweather to boost Mayweather's win rate, the top promotion company could remain undefeated.

Greg Cohen smiled smugly to himself. Kid, you're too young. Dreaming of becoming a boxing champion is not just about having the fists.

This round, I've definitely won.
