Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion Chapter 777 - 562: 80-Second Turnaround of the Game2

It's akin to rolling under a tank and installing explosives.

Link needs an opportunity to hit his opponent.

Deontay, seeing his punches miss one after another, smirks with a look of exhilaration on his face.

"Deontay, if you take down Link, you'll be the toughest boxer in the world."

Deontay's assistant yells from below the stage.

Deontay bounces on his feet, again swinging his fists towards Link's head, each blow faster and more ferocious than the last.

Amidst the danger, Link keeps his cool, constantly ducking, sidestepping, and crouching, ti and ti again narrowly avoiding Deontay's deadly moves with his extrely quick reflexes and agile movents.

The live audience watches the exchanges between the two and can't stop exclaiming with excitent.

Deontay's offensive techniques are quite monotonous, favoring straight punches and jabs, very straightforward, with little variation, and he's not adept at using combination punches to break through his opponent's defense and dodging, to create opportunities to land hits.

After more than a dozen successive fruitless attacks, Deontay grows impatient, swinging his fists even faster and more fiercely, trying to corner Link against the ropes or in a corner, blocking his evasion.

As Link seems about to collide with the ropes, he quickly steps back, his back slamming into the ropes, which imdiately disrupts Deontay's rhythm. Deontay hastily rushes towards Link, swinging his fist down onto Link's head.

But as Deontay changes tactics midway, Link quickly closes in to reduce the distance, and as his opponent throws a punch, he delivers a swift Liver Blow Punch, crashing it into Deontay's left rib.

Deontay, taller than George Foreman and quicker, but with less body fat, which results in a less than exceptional ability to take hits.

Bang!

Link's punch solidly connects with Deontay's left rib, eliciting a groan from him as his punching motion warps, and he staggers backward involuntarily.

Link shows no rcy as he scores, swiftly following up, ducking under the oncoming straight punch, followed by a heavy punch to the opponent's abdon, then without waiting for Deontay's reaction, instinctively throws a right hook.

Bang!

Feeling the punch hit ho, Link wants to follow up with another, only to see Deontay suddenly stumble, falling backward onto the boxing ring.

"Stop!"

The referee shouts.

"..."

The audience stares blankly at the match on the boxing ring. After two seconds, seeing Deontay lying on the ground, they let out exclamations of disbelief.

This exclamation is even more uniform and louder than before, filled with intense shock and disbelief.

Many people also stand up from their seats.

"How is this possible?!"

"He took down Deontay in just over eighty seconds?"

"Weren't they supposed to be evenly matched?"

In the audience, Mike Tyson, Jas Toney, Hoyle, Hopkins, Chris Byrd and others watch in shock as Deontay lays defeated on the stage.

Given Deontay's height, long arms, ferocious punches, and agile speed, like Link, he is also an undefeated boxer with an excellent mindset.

They thought Deontay had a great chance to defeat Link, and even if he lost, it would be after a full twelve rounds, losing by points.

But what's happening before them is far from what they imagined; Deontay has lasted only over 80 seconds before being knocked down by Link.

Clean! Efficient! Beyond imagination!

Link hasn't even broken a sweat up to now, seemingly fighting with ease.

"Is the gap between them really that wide?"

Mike Tyson looked at George Foreman with surprise.

Foreman was also taken aback, loosening his arms that were crossed and leaning on the chair.

"The difference is indeed significant; we have only seen Link bully older boxers and forgot that his speed is faster than Deontay's, his punches are no less heavy, and his technique, combination punches, and tactics are all stronger than Deontay's. The only thing he seems to lack is the advantage of height and arm reach. But Link is very tactical, having won against stronger opponents multiple tis in the boxing ring, this disadvantage doesn't really matter to him."

"You an Link is going to win?"

Mike Tyson frowned as he watched Deontay, who had already stood up.

"Link knocked down Deontay in just 80 seconds, which shows he spotted Deontay's weaknesses, greatly improving his odds of winning. However, Deontay also has a chance; if he has a good ntality and can quickly adjust, learning from previous lessons and steadily fighting, he might not necessarily lose," said George Foreman.

"Can Deontay adjust in ti?"

Tyson looked uncertainly at the boxing ring.

"This, this is too brutal!"

Hoyle, sitting not far away, watched Link with a shocked expression. Before the match, he saw that Link was much weaker than Deontay and thought Link would suffer his first professional defeat here.

But once the match started, Link ford a tight defensive setup and, using the elasticity of the ropes, quickly closed in on Deontay, landing a punch to Deontay's left ribs, then capitalizing on Deontay's unsteady footing to continue the offensive and extending his advantage, subsequently finishing with an unexpected upper hook punch that sent Deontay sprawling on his back.

This close-combat flurry seed simple, but in reality, it was far from simple; every move Link made contained his tactical thinking for this match, his strong tactical execution ability, and his superb timing for seizing opportunities, firmly controlling the rhythm of the match in his hands.

In the current match, nobody except Link could devise such tactics of overcoming stronger opponents, and even if a coach could co up with such tactics, no one could execute them as perfectly as Link.

Hoyle shook his head helplessly; after Link beca the super middleweight champion, he rarely saw Link use tactics in the ring, thinking that he had weakened in this aspect. But now it seems that's not the case at all.

It was because the previous opponents were too weak and Link could defeat them without any tactics.

And this ti, he used tactics again and took down Deontay, who was not weaker than him, in just 80 seconds.

With Link's current performance, he genuinely deserves the title of 'elite among elites,' the 'Master of the Boxing Ring.'

"Link, well done!"

Next to him, Frank stood up excitedly, raised his arms above his head, and clapped vigorously.

"Isn't it sowhat unbelievable?"

Morales grinned at Hoyle, "I really don't understand how you thought Link would lose before the match. Ah, I get it now, it was because of Link's relatively timid performance in the ring over the past few years, preferring to beat his opponents with tactical positioning. But you forgot that Link is a very cunning guy. Back in the '08 Golden Gloves Tournant, this guy tricked us badly with those tricks, and since then, no one has dared to underestimate him."

Hoyle frowned, recalling how, in the past, to counter Link, he arranged interviews with Link's opponents, who described Link as cunning and venomous with words, and if they stopped him from talking, his strength would drop by thirty percent.

In recent years, Link rarely played tricks in the ring nor used words to disturb his opponents' minds.

But that doesn't an he can't do it; maybe he has used them so much that he has beco even more skilled and secretive.

Hoyle sighed inwardly, having to admit he underestimated Link this ti and forgot about Link's title of 'boxing tactics master' and that his strongest suit had been winning against stronger opponents.

But facing such a guy, those weaker than him cannot beat him, and those stronger cannot match his tactics.

So who in the boxing world can beat him?

Alexander Povetkin? Tyson Fury? The Klitschko Brothers?

Living in the sa era as such a person is truly a sorrow!

"Link, keep it up!"

Morales shouted, raising his fist high.
