Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion Chapter 738 - 535: Competition Prize Over 100 Million
Ding Ding Ding!
The second round has started, Link shakes off the droplets of water from his bronze muscles, and with the loud cheers of the boxing fans, he walks towards Jas Toney with his fists raised.
Jas Toney also stares with his eyes wide, fixing his gaze on Link, like an angry black bull.
"Boxing!"
The match continues, this round Link resus his offensive stance, launching a relentless barrage of Left Straight Punch Right Straight Punch Left Swing Punch Right Swing Punch targeting Jas Toney's upper body, not giving him a chance to catch his breath.
He does this based on adjustnts made according to the condition of his opponent.
Previously in matches, he liked to use the strategy of attacking from above and below, but this tactic isn't effective against Jas Toney because his opponent's abdominal muscles are thick and resistant to blows. Punching his belly and chest with padded gloves does little damage.
Since that tactic is useless, he focuses his power on attacking his opponent's arm defense, aiming to smash his fists into his opponent's head to truly knock him down.
Jas Toney is aware of this, so he uses his thick forearms to block, shielding himself from the attack.
Bang Bang Bang Bang!
Link throws over ten punches in quick succession, mostly targeting the opponent's left side, shifting the defensive focus there, and distracting his attention to that side.
Once the opponent gets used to his style of attack.
He suddenly switches hands, delivering a swift Right Swing Punch and thunderously breaking through Jas Toney's right arm defense; with a thud, his fist smashes into his opponent's face.
The punch lands on the right side of Jas Toney's face, causing him to stagger; Link follows up with a vicious Hook Punch, sweeping up from below, penetrating Jas Toney's defense and striking his left jaw again.
This punch is more ruthless than the first, striking directly on Jas Toney's jaw. There's a sound like clicking teeth, his head jerks violently, his eyes involuntarily squint, sweat on his bald head bounces a few milliters up, and the skin on his face trembles.
Jas Toney stumbles three steps backward, crashing into the ropes, his massive weight forcing the ropes into an arch.
Just as Jas Toney is about to topple over into the boxing ring from the rebounding force of the ropes, the experienced fighter instinctively hooks his arms around the ropes and bends his knees, stabilizing himself just as he is about to kneel.
"Oh! That was close!"
"Go Link!!"
"Jas, hang in there!"
A noisy chorus of shouts rises from the spectators.
Before Link can move in to continue attacking, the ring referee steps in and calls for a 'ti-out' to check on Jas Toney and ask if he needs any treatnt?
Because Jas Toney is bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
Jas Toney, with his mouth guard, says there's no need, glaring fiercely at Link.
"Boxing!"
The match resus.
"Ah, Jas is going to lose."
Holyfield sighs from the stands.
"Isn't that expected? Did you think Jas stood a chance against Link? Maybe twenty years ago."
Hoyle says, clapping.
"Although Jas is older now, his overall strength is still mid to upper tier in the heavyweight class. Link challenging a higher weight class and injuring Jas in the second round, given this situation, this guy really might be able to defeat all the heavyweight boxing champions and dominate the heavyweight class."
Holyfield comnts.
"Really? The Klitschko brothers, Valuev, Alexander Povetkin, Tyson Fury, these guys are much tougher than Jas Toney. It'd be very difficult for Link to beat them,"
Hoyle replies.
Mainly because of the height difference, Link's height and reach are over ten centiters shorter than the aforentioned, so during matches, he needs to get very close to hit the vital spots, making the fight very strenuous and dangerous.
And for his opponents, they just need to maintain a distance to avoid his hits.
Just like in the current match on the ring, Link's arm reach is 12 centiters longer than Jas Toney's, making it a bit easier for him to fight.
"The Klitschko brothers are indeed strong, but they're not much better than Link, don't forget Link is also a master of tactics, plus he's very young and vigorous. Against the Klitschko brothers, he has a better than fifty percent chance of winning,"
Holyfield states.
"Hey, Evander, you're up against Link next, how many rounds do you think you can last against him?"
Tyson turns around and asks with a big gold grin.
Holyfield frowns and stares at Link in the ring, about to speak, when suddenly a loud noise erupts from the crowd.
At that mont, Link breaks through Jas Toney's defense with another set of Combination Punches, landing two punches on Jas Toney's chin and forehead. Jas Toney's head being repeatedly hit, leans on the corner pole, resorting to clinching tactics to embrace Link.
As the referee cos over to separate them, Jas Toney suddenly leans back strategically, using his forehead to strike Link's chin, due to his shorter stature, hitting Link solidly.
Link staggers back a step, a noticeable wound appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"Stop!"
The referee stops the match and after checking on Link, issues a warning to Jas Toney.
"Hehe!"
Jas Toney bared his teeth in a grin at Link.
Link wiped his chin and also revealed a smile, warm yet making Jas Toney involuntarily sweat coldly behind his back.
"Start!"
The referee called for continuation, and Link didn't want to give his opponent any ti to rest, continuing with Combination Punches to tear through the defense and then hitting the vital areas with Heavy Punches, this ti striking particularly viciously.
Two punches in a row smashed into Jas Toney's nose bridge, causing both his nose and mouth to bleed.
Jas Toney also responded fiercely, beginning to use underhanded tactics during the match, continuously embracing and then headbutting him, even using his weight advantage to ram him.
Link was undaunted by his opponent's tricks, his fists repeatedly striking the opponent's head.
The two were in close combat, every punch making solid contact, the battle fierce and brutal.
The live audience stood up, cheering loudly, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
Bang!
In the second round, the ninth hit to the opponent's head caused Jas Toney to finally lose his balance, stepping back two steps, and sitting down on the ground. Due to his heavy weight, it took him six or seven seconds to struggle to his feet.
Ding Ding Ding!
The second round ended.
A one-minute break, then the third round continued.
In this round, Link was still on the offensive, taking advantage of the mont Jas Toney's nosebleed had just stopped, following up with several sets of Combination Punches to tear open the defense, and several punches to his face left the opponent dizzy.
12 seconds into the third round, Jas Toney was knocked down for the second ti.
This ti he fell backwards, heavily collapsing on the Boxing Ring, like a pile of flesh spreading across the ground, the visual impact was full, and the venue burst into lively gasps.
"Sss!"
"Too brutal!"
Hoyle covered his eyes, unable to bear watching.
"Jas managing to hurt Link is already quite impressive, go Jas!"
Holyfield shouted loudly.
"Jas, get up! Don't give up easily."
Hopkins stood up and yelled.
"You want him to get up in this condition, do you want to see him killed by Link?"
Morales retorted.
Jas Toney struggled for seven or eight seconds on the Boxing Ring, and as the referee was about to finish the count, he staggered to his feet, roaring at Link, smashing his bald head with his glove, a look of 'you're killing ' on his face.
Link moved the corners of his mouth, launching an attack with his fists.
32 seconds into the third round, Link once again broke through Jas Toney's defense with a brutal series of Combination Punches, a Swing Punch chopping at his side face, followed by a Straight Punch smashing onto his slick forehead.
Jas Toney collapsed again with a bang!
This ti, Jas Toney lay on the Boxing Ring, struggling powerfully a few tis, but couldn't even lift his neck, and finally had to admit defeat.
Link smoothly won the match.
His professional record now 32 fights, 32 wins, 32 KOs.
Although this match was not for the Boxing King title, it was Link's first match entering the Heavyweight division.
Winning the match ant he had firmly established himself in the Heavyweight division, possessing the strength to challenge the four major organizations' Boxing Kings, but for safety, Frank and the coaching team advised him to fight a few more Heavyweight matches, to accumulate so experience against Heavyweight Boxers.
After consideration, Link agreed to their proposal.
During the match with Jas Toney, he could also feel that the comprehensive strength of Heavyweight Boxers was stronger than that of the Light Heavyweight Boxing Kings, whether in terms of punch weight, resilience, or experience, they were all superior.
Fighting a Light Heavyweight Boxing King, he only needed two rounds, but fighting an ordinary Heavyweight Boxer, he needed three rounds to thoroughly defeat them.
This also indicated that there were more masters in the Heavyweight division, and the match difficulty was higher.
This is also why Heavyweight Boxing matches are more popular.
It looked very thrilling.
The promotion for this event was well done, with cable PPV in North Arica selling 3.28 million units, earning $256 million US Dollars, and inco from online streaming, tickets, hotels, advertising sponsorships etc., totaling about $430 million US Dollars.
The inco for Link, Jas Toney, and the promotional company was about $200 million US Dollars, with Link's earnings being $115 million US Dollars.
This was his third ti earning over $100 million from a single match.
And this ti his opponent was rely an ordinary Boxer without a title. If he fought against the Boxing Kings of the four major organizations, the match inco would be even higher.
This is also why all Boxers want to fight in the Heavyweight matches, as they are more intense, attract more attention, and the match inco is much higher than the average of other divisions.
After the match ended, Link continued training, preparing for the next Heavyweight match while also readying for a challenge match for the Light Heavyweight title of the three major organizations.
Currently, he didn't hold a Heavyweight Golden Belt, so he hadn't given up on the Light Heavyweight Golden Belt, participating in title defense matches could also earn him a few hundred million US Dollars more.
