Chapter 44: The Second Battle, a Five-Man Team
Five days later, a huge competition schedule was hung on the outer wall of the gate of Korakuen, Tokyo's boxing mecca.
Four-round lightweight boxing match: Luo Hao of Kamogawa Boxing Gym vs. Matsumoto Ryu of Kadokawa Boxing Gym, start time: 4 pm.
There was total silence in boxer lounge number five.
"Knock knock!" Suddenly, the door of the lounge was gently pushed open by a staff member, who said respectfully, "President Kamogawa, the third game is about to end. Please get ready."
"Okay, got it!" President Kamogawa replied expressionlessly.
"Bah, bah, bah, bah..."
At this moment, Luo Hao, like an agile cheetah, threw five consecutive jabs in the air, the wind from his fists was whistling, as fierce as a storm, and finally ended with a shocking swinging punch.
"It seems that Luo Hao is as hot as a volcano today!" Manager Yagi took off his glasses excitedly and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
Luo Hao put away his fist, his eyes gleaming with confidence. He said loudly: "Well! I have warmed up enough. I can go out at any time and let my opponent have a taste of my strength!"
Kimura stood aside with a smile on his face and praised: "Look at him, he looks more and more like a boxer!"
Coach Murouchi and Manager Yagi had also packed their things. They were full of energy and shouted in high spirits, "Then let's go, let's go!"
Aoki raised his arms and shouted, "Little devil, it's time to have a good fight!"
At the same time, in the No. 3 boxer lounge on the other side, the team from Kadokawa Boxing Gym was like a group of tigers out of the cage, they pushed open the door and embarked on a challenging journey.
The attendance rate at Korakuen Hall today was higher than during the preliminary round in Luohao, but it was still quite far from full.
Deep in the boxing ring, the spotlights shone brightly like stars at night, illuminating the entire ring as if it were daytime.
The light from those spotlights was like silver swords, piercing through the air and landing accurately on the boxer.
They dance on the boxers' muscles, depicting their strong physique and smooth lines, as if condensing their strength and courage into this bright light.
The atmosphere in the boxing ring gradually heated up as the boxers entered.
Cheers, shouts and applause from the audience rose and fell, forming a unique wave of sound.
In this wave of sound, one can feel people's enthusiasm, excitement, anticipation and nervousness.
As soon as you sit down, you will be immersed in this visual and auditory feast.
The air is filled with the smell of sweat, which is proof of the boxers' burning blood and a symbol of their perseverance and courage.
In this arena full of competition and challenges, every boxer is writing his own legend with his sweat and hard work.
In the brightly lit boxing gym, a thrilling match is about to begin.
The referee's voice was deep and powerful, and he solemnly explained the rules of the game to the two boxers, Luo Hao and Matsumoto Li, who were about to fight: "During the game, any irregular movements may result in penalty points.
I hope the two boxers can fight in an upright manner."
"Okay, both of you please go back to your corners." As soon as the referee finished speaking, Luo Hao and Matsumoto returned to their respective rest areas.
Matsumoto, with a professional record of one win and one loss, does not look outstanding and is the type that would be easily drowned out in a crowd, but his eyes are burning with a desire for victory.
The coach of Kadokawa Boxing Gym walked up to Matsumoto and said sternly, "Matsumoto, the guy opposite is a boxer with great explosive power and his arm span is much better than yours.
In this game, if you want to win, you have to defend well, fight in the middle distance, and win by accumulating points.
This will be an extremely tough fight, you must be mentally prepared, stay calm, and don’t rush into a fight with your opponent out of excitement.”
Matsumoto nodded in agreement, his eyes determined.
Turning his attention to the Yachuan Boxing Gym, Luo Hao was sitting quietly in the rest area, his eyes revealing a sharp look.
Chairman Kamogawa walked up to Luo Hao, his tone full of confidence: “Kid, the opponent Matsumoto is a point-scoring boxer.
Your mission is to move forward bravely and knock him down with your heavy punch.
Your statistics are far better than his, so there is no technique or strategy involved in this match. You just need to remember one thing - KO him with a heavy punch! "
After the president finished speaking, he carefully applied a layer of Vaseline on Luo Hao's eyebrow corners, and then firmly inserted the dental tray into his mouth.
"Dang!" The bell for the match rang, and boxers from both sides advanced steadily like tigers descending a mountain.
At this moment, a special and enthusiastic knocking sound came from the audience: "Bang bang!", "Hot blood!", "Bang bang!", "Fighting spirit!", "Bang bang bang bang bang!", "Burn, Luo Hao!"
It turned out that it was a group of five passionate fighters led by Daisuke Aoyama who came to cheer for Luo Hao.
Asada, Takasa, Miyata, and Kishimoto each held two empty mineral water bottles and knocked them hard, making rhythmic sounds.
Daisuke Aoyama was even more exaggerated. He waved a huge flag in his hand with the four big words "Hot-blooded Fighting Spirit" written on it.
The flag was as tall as a man and was waved vigorously in his hand, attracting the attention of the entire audience.
Suddenly, the entire boxing gym was attracted by the flag, and the audience turned their attention to the passionate fighting spirit of the five-member group.
Their cheers and shouts came one after another, adding infinite strength to Luo Hao.
There were waves of discussion from the audience, "The way these guys are dressed, they look just like the bad guys in the gang!"
"Everyone, don't get close to those five people!"
“Those five guys are horrible!”
"That boxer named Luo Hao, could he also be a member of the society?"
On the boxing ring, Luo Hao frowned slightly.
He thought Matsumoto's boxing stance was very strange. It looked like a traditional stance, but Matsumoto's front hand was stretched straight and swaying, which seriously interfered with his vision.
"What kind of strange standing posture is this? I've never seen it before! How should I deal with it?" Luo Hao thought for a few seconds but still had no clue.
"If you can't figure it out, then why bother? Just do as the president says, it will definitely be right!
Just rush up and hit him hard with a heavy punch! "Luo Hao quickened his pace and came to Matsumoto Li in two small jumps like a gust of wind.
He opened the scoring with a jab, followed by a powerful backhand punch.
"Bang! Boom!"
Matsumoto immediately withdrew his front hand and protected his face.
Luo Hao's straight punch came like a cannonball and hit Matsumoto Ryu's arm.
Matsumoto successfully blocked the punch, but he was also knocked back two steps by Luo Hao's heavy punch.
"This guy's punches are too powerful. Just as the coach predicted before the game, he's going to be tough!"
At this time, the commentator's voice sounded through the loudspeaker, "In response to Matsumoto's strange forward movement, Luo Hao responded with his usual heavy punches. So how should Matsumoto respond next?"
