Text Chapter 36 Gambling Boxing
Usually at seven o'clock every night, the fighters in the comprehensive training hall will disperse. It's half past seven today, and there are more and more people in the comprehensive training hall. I asked Overseer Barrow why, and Barrow said disdainfully, "There is a fight of the century tonight, and your Chinese boxing champion Lu Bingtao will challenge the world's No. 1 Kavanagh. After saying the whip in Baroyan's hand, what the are you doing so much, give me a good job of cleaning the toilet!
I really didn't expect to see Taozi's game in such a place, hey!
I lowered my head and picked up the mop in my hand and continued my unfinished work.
It's been a long time, and I've almost forgotten everything that was before, but my friend, my love, are you okay? Have you forgotten me? Forget the wood that loves to punch shirtless in winter.
After finishing the toilet in a hurry, I stood silently at the end of the crowd, staring at the upcoming game on TV.
"Do you like watching games like this?" a gentle voice sounded beside me.
The interviewer was the instructor here, a Ukrainian named Archie.
I was a little surprised, and looked at him in a daze, I didn't know what he meant by asking, was it because I couldn't stand here as a stowaway. I'm worried about whether a bad answer will get a whip, the whip here really hurts!
"Do you really like this kind of game?" Archie said again at a slower pace, worried that I didn't understand.
I nodded and replied softly in Russian, which I was not proficient with: "Yes, I would love to see who wins tonight." ”
Archie nodded and looked at me, "Kavanagh will win tonight!" Kavana is the number one powerhouse in the world today, the perfect (Harmony) body with 77 kilogram skills and strength.
I didn't think much of Archie's words, but I nodded in agreement. Who wins and who loses in the end still has to speak with strength, and I have confidence in Taozi, who grew up with me since childhood. I'm sure Taozi can win!
"I see you train here every night for a long time, were you a professional fighter before?" Archie didn't look at me, his eyes still on the big screen.
Unexpectedly, the training I thought was hidden had already been discovered.
I shook my head, "I'm not a professional boxer, I just love boxing." Actually, I want to say that I'm just having fun, but I don't know how to pronounce the word "whatever" in Russian.
"yes, I've never seen a more professional amateur player than you, and the pros who train here don't have a lot of moves that you standard. Archie didn't emphasize his point, but just smiled at me, "Would you like to make a bet with me for tonight's boxing fight?"
"Take a gamble?" I don't know what Archie means.
"Yes, a gamble. I'm betting that you Chinese fighters will lose this fight tonight, do you dare to bet with me?" Archie turned to look at me, still with a faint smile on his face.
Don't you understand the strength of our Chinese fighters, and the number one in the world ranking is really the number one?
Archie's smile made me slowly let my guard down, and I nodded slowly, "I can bet with you, but I don't have anything to lose." I spread out my hands to show that I had nothing left.
"If you lose, you'll have to do a punch at my behest of you, would you like to? I know, you're better than a lot of us here!" Archie said nonchalantly, as if saying something insignificant.
"What if I win?" I put down the mop in my hand and stared straight at Archie.
"Then I'll arrange for you to get out of here at once. Archie patted me on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I said I could do it, and I was able to do it." ”
Archie's words were like high explosives, exploding in my head in an instant. I've got a chance to get out of here!
"Well, I'll bet you!" I put down the mop in my hand and sat boldly on the chair next to Archie.
Taozi, you must win this game, my fate is between your victory and defeat!
For the first time, I put my fate on the table. My departure and stay were in the results of a live TV match. Hey, that's exciting.
But who hasn't gambled a few times in their life?
Tonight, I am so eager for Taozi to take me out of this filthy hell with a hearty victory!
Let's fight, Taozi. What about being ranked No. 1 in the world? Slam him off the altar with your fists!
"Dang!" rang, and the battle of the century, which was related to my fate, began.
What would happen if Lu Bingtao knew that I still cared so much about his game?
Taozi and Kavanagh bumped fists, and the fight began!
Taozi's style has changed a lot compared to the last competition I watched, and this half-year training has allowed Taozi to completely get rid of his youth and become mature. Punches and kicks are coming out less and less often, but each punch and leg is more efficient. Now he is more like a tank, crushing his opponent to fight, forcing Kavanagh step by step, forcing Kavanagh from this corner of the ring to another corner. It can be said that Taozi controls the pace of the game.
What about being number one in the world? My brother will beat you to a pulp! Watching Taozi fight more and more, I couldn't help but be excited, and I couldn't help but go up and throw a beautiful hook to knock Kavana over on the stage.
"Dang!" rang again, and the first round was over. Taozi withdrew the fist that had been released, and the smiling man raised his hand back to the sidelines. In this game, if there was no bell, I think Taozi would have won.
Looking at Archie sitting next to me, I said softly: "This Chinese is playing well." ”
Archie knew what I meant, but didn't look at me, and still said lightly: "Don't worry, I mean what I say." But the game hasn't started yet, has it?"
I don't know what Archie means, but if you just talk!
After two sips of water, Taozi and Kavanagh stood in the center of the ring again, and the second round began!
In the second round, Taozi did not have the vigor of the first round, and the decline in physical fitness caused the strength of his fists and legs to drop a lot, and the two sides fought more and more. From what I know about Taozi, he is good at fighting fists and legs, and is weaker than the entanglement and hugging of both sides. Sure enough, under Kavana's constant embrace, Taozi became more and more impatient, constantly trying to break free, but his strength was obviously inferior to Kavana from Eastern Europe, and he was often thrown down by Kavana. Successive falls are not scored according to the rules, but they lose morale. Such a situation aroused Taozi's anger. Unnecessary movements began to increase more and more, and the consumption of physical energy also increased.
"Dang!" Fortunately, the ringing of the bell at the end gave Taozi a chance to ease.
Calm down, Taozi. Clenching his fists, I hope Taozi will let go of the burden in his heart and let go of the fight. In my heart, Taozi's strength is by no means limited to this.
"Hey, the game has just begun. Archie glanced at me and continued to stare at the big screen.
Yes, the game has just begun. As Archie said, Kavanagh only started to work in the third round. Even if Lu Bingtao is my best brother, I have to admit that Kavana is indeed better than Lu Bingtao. Facing Kavanagh, who was powerful in the third round, Taozi had almost no power to fight back. Taozi's physical strength has reached a critical point, and his confidence has been destroyed by Kavana's devastating punches and legs. This is an opponent with all-round technical strength and experience, and this is the best level in the world!
Taozi was defeated and lost to the number one in the world today.
I also lost and lost a chance to get out of this hell.
Taozi's face was gloomy when he walked off the ring, and I was in an unusually lost mood at the moment.
"Do you know why I won?" Archie stood up, facing me, holding his head high, "Because I've always had faith in the fighters I've trained!"
What? Astonished far past the loss in my heart, Kavanagh was trained by Archie?
"Remember you owe me a game!" Archie left without looking back, leaving me with only a back.
yes, I lost! Looking at the crowd that had ended, my heart was filled with loss.
"Hey, who's allowed you to sit here and watch the game!" Barrow roared and began to raise the whip in his hand again!
