AWB Chapter 20 Come on, kid!
Chapter 20 Come on, kid!
Luo Hao nodded repeatedly to President Kamogawa, who quickly stuffed the dental tray into his mouth and said, "The referee is already waving, go ahead, kid."
On the boxing ring, Luo Hao and Okamoto Jintai stood opposite each other, and a boxer from Okamoto Boxing Gym stood in the middle as the referee.
He read out the rules loudly: "Today's fight is no different from a four-round professional match. Remember not to attack the back of the head or the genitals.
Four rounds, with three knockouts in each round to decide the winner.
No headgear is needed, the gloves are eight ounces for professional matches. Although this is a simulation match, I hope you two can play with the spirit of a real match."
Luo Hao and Okamoto Jintai each retreated to their corners and got ready.
However, just as the game was about to begin, Luo Hao felt an inexplicable tension in his heart.
Since he entered the boxing world, he has experienced such nervousness twice, and it seems that he only feels this way when facing an opponent stronger than himself.
He had never felt so nervous before when facing those bad youths on the street. Perhaps this was the self-suggestion in his heart.
President Kamogawa also noticed that Luo Hao was acting strangely, but time was running out and there was nothing he could do to remedy the situation.
"when!"
"Hakimi!"
The bell rang suddenly and the game began.
At this moment, there was a loud "pop" sound suddenly from behind Luo Hao. The pain came like a tide, and tears welled up in his eyes in an instant.
It turned out that President Yachuan was anxious and slapped Luo Hao on the back, leaving a bloody handprint.
Luo Hao made a "wuwu" sound in grievance, but President Yachuan showed a proud smile: "Little boy, I have cured your pre-match nervousness.
That’s how I cured Yibu back then, hehehehe!”
Luo Hao endured the pain, walked to the center of the ring, and politely bumped fists with Okamoto Jintai.
However, Okamoto Jintai smashed Luo Hao's gloves with both fists, trying to give him a warning.
Luo Hao didn't care. He quickly adjusted his mentality, assumed a traditional boxing stance, and prepared for the fight.
Luo Hao kept in mind the tactical essence of President Yachuan. At the beginning of the game, he did not rush to launch an offensive, but chose to use stillness to overcome movement and carefully observe the opponent's punching style first.
When Jinta Okamoto saw that Luo Hao did not pounce on him as he expected, he couldn't help feeling a trace of contempt in his heart.
"Oh, you turned out to be a timid guy. Where did your arrogance go now?"
Although he thought so in his heart, his hands did not slow down at all. He rushed in front of Luo Hao in an instant, and his fists poured down like a rainstorm.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Five jabs were thrown in succession, trying to force Luo Hao to make a weakness.
Faced with this sudden attack, Luo Hao responded calmly, and each punch landed accurately on his arms and gloves.
He secretly evaluated in his mind: "This fist is indeed a bit heavier than Itagaki-senpai's.
However, I can still handle this lightweight force."
At this time, the steady and powerful voice of President Yachuan came from behind Luo Hao: "Kid, you're doing well. Keep it up and don't lose your composure."
Seeing that Luo Hao was not shaken by his attack, Okamoto Jintai felt a surge of anger in his heart, "You want to be a coward, right?
Then I'll let you have a taste of my power!"
He rushed up again and opened the way with two jabs.
"Bang bang!" Luo Hao countered the moves and blocked the two jabs steadily.
However, Okamoto Jintai did not give up. He immediately threw a powerful straight punch from the back.
Although Luo Hao wanted to implement President Kamogawa's tactics and rush forward to block Okamoto Jintai's straight punch.
But unfortunately, Jinta Okamoto was too fast and he had no time to rush forward.
The straight punch from the back hand came whistling with the air flow and hit Luo Hao's boxing gloves heavily.
"boom!"
A loud bang echoed in the stadium. Luo Hao only felt a huge force coming, and his legs involuntarily ploughed and slid backwards.
His boxing gloves seemed to emit wisps of white smoke under this heavy blow, which shows the power of Jintasu Okamoto's punch.
Luo Hao was shocked. "This punch was so powerful. This is the guy who is known as the future star of the lightweight division. It turns out that his reputation is real."
At this moment, Luo Hao suddenly felt something bounce on his back, "Oops! Unknowingly, he was forced into a corner by Okamoto Jintai."
At the same time, President Kamogawa's shout also reached Luo Hao's ears: "Kid, get out of the corner quickly, or you will be locked in the toilet by Okamoto Jintai."
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Luo Hao saw through the gaps in his gloves that Okamoto Jintai's fists were hitting him as densely and rapidly as a storm.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
Jintasu Okamoto immediately turned on the violent mode and kept punching wildly.
People around the ring began to talk: "It seems that this sparring partner may not be able to last even one round. Okamoto Jintai is a well-known heavy hitter."
"That's right. If Okamoto Jintai locked him in a corner and bombarded him like that, the sparring partner wouldn't have lasted long if he had just passively defended.
Once his defense is broken down, it can be devastating.”
At this time, Luo Hao's arms and ribs were being hit hard from all directions. "What should I do? What should I do? How can I break this situation?"
Although most of Okamoto Jintai's punches were blocked by Luo Hao's arms and gloves, a few of them still escaped and hit Luo Hao's face and ribs.
"If this continues, I will definitely fall to the ground in the first round. Luo Hao is as clear as a mirror."
"Kid, hold on to your head and rush out as fast as you can, or you're done for."
At this time, the voice of President Yachuan was heard, and Luo Hao felt as if he had received an imperial edict. He didn't care about anything else and just said one word: Charge!
He no longer hesitated, clenched his teeth, endured the pain, and used all his strength to push against Okamoto Jintai's fist and rush out.
Even though he was hit by several more punches from Okamoto Jintai, Luo Hao did not retreat at all and finally managed to break out of the suffocating rope corner.
"That was a close call!" Luo Hao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly distanced himself from Okamoto Jintai.
However, Jintai Okamoto did not chase after him, but just stood there with a disdainful smile on his face. He was laughing at Luo Hao's embarrassment.
"We can't go on like this. We have to step up our offense. We're here to take advantage of Okamoto Jintai's popularity today. If we get knocked down by him, not only will we not get any popularity, but we'll also bring shame to Kamogawa Gym."
So Luo Hao lowered his defensive stance and subconsciously began to circle around Okamoto Jintasu.
Luo Hao's actions left everyone confused. Okamoto Jintai was also wondering. Everyone around the boxing ring was stunned. Even President Kamogawa didn't understand his intention.
However, President Kamogawa did not stop Luo Hao immediately, but chose to observe the kid's next move first.
Chairman Okamoto in the audience showed a mocking smile on his face: "You can't even defend well, and you're still thinking about attacking, kid, you're going to lose miserably."
But at this moment.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp punch sound, Luo Hao's flash punch hit Okamoto Jintai's nose accurately.
Blood flowed down Jintai Okamoto's nose and fell on his gloves.
"Tick, tick!"
“This…” President Okamoto was suddenly speechless, and the sneer on his face disappeared in an instant.
