Chapter 479: Xiang Hero VS Romero (Middle)
After a few back and forth between Xiang Yingying and Romero, Romero very dexterously dodged Xiang Yingying's front hook, quickly rushed forward, and hugged Xiang Yingying's front legs.
Xiang Hero was startled, quickly lowered his center of gravity, and when he tried to lock Romero's neck under his armpit, Romero had already quickly moved to his left side, exerting all his strength to lift his left foot.
Seeing this, Xiang Yingying quickly hugged Romero's neck, jumped with his right foot, and wanted to stabilize his center of gravity.
With just over 30 seconds to play in the second round, Romero's first leg takedown was successful, pinning Xiang to the canvas.
Luo An, who was a guest referee, frowned when he saw this, and glared at Xiang Yingxing, who was pressed to the floor and embarrassed. Not only Roan, but also Borg and Harris outside the octagonal cage also frowned, but they also have to admit that the wrestling skills of Romero, the Olympic wrestling silver medalist, are not comparable to those of a hero.
Now it can only be seen whether Xiang Hero can hold on, and knowing that Jon Jones' wrestling ability is no worse than Romero's, such a test is absolutely necessary.
At this time, Xiang Yingying didn't have the time to pay attention to Luo An's reaction, but instinctively completed the fully closed defense, locked Romero's waist with his legs, and his hands passed under Romero's armpits, sticking himself tightly to his body.
Romero snorted coldly when he saw this, his right arm propped up the ground, and his left arm passed through the gap between the two bodies with difficulty, against Xiang Yingying's neck, and pressed Xiang Yingying down with brute force.
No matter how strong the strength is, the body is stiff, and the neck can't reach the arms. Xiang Yingying had to let go of his arms and put his hand against Romero's forearm to reduce the pressure on his neck, and his upper body was constantly twisting, but he was already exposed to Romero's firepower.
I saw Romero waving his left arm excitedly and punching Xiang Yingxing's head, Xiang Yingying had to protect his head with his right hand, but he still received several punches.
"No, it won't! Could it be that this kid Xiang Hero lost like this? Strength and conditioning coach Borg watched the scene and kept muttering.
And Juan, Davis, and Boris were quite calm after seeing such a scene, and they knew that Xiang Ying could not be terminated by Romero like this, absolutely impossible.
Sure enough, Xiang Yingying, who had been punched several times, was furious, let go of his left hand against Romero's right arm, and quickly exerted force at his waist, making his upper body and head shake as much as possible, and at the same time, his free hands, clenched his fists, and hammered at Romero's head.
Heavy! It's so heavy!
For a while, he was defenseless and took several punches in a row, and even if Romero was wearing a helmet, he felt his eyes black and his head dizzy. He really didn't think that Xiang Yingying would still attack in such a situation, and his fists could be so heavy.
However, this guy is also too arrogant to really take Romero's heavy punches seriously.
So, Romero became angry, let go of his right hand against Xiang Yingying's neck, opened his bow left and right, and slammed Xiang Yingying's head.
"Crackling!"
The two launched a confrontation in this situation......
Seeing this, Luo An felt a headache, Davis and Boris also rolled their eyes, and Xiang Yingying's old mistake was repeated.
"Stupid! What do you want? Luo An couldn't help it, and roared angrily.
Hearing Luo An's roar, Xiang Yingying decisively gave up the confrontation with Romero, and honestly hugged Romero, so that he had no room to swing his fist. In fact, he just wanted to test the results of the training in the past 20 days to see if he would improve in terms of explosiveness and speed, in this kind of high-intensity confrontation.
However, the test results disappointed him, he didn't feel any better, and he felt the same as his previous opponents. In fact, Xiang Hero ignored that his current opponent is Romero, and in terms of the power of heavy punches alone, he is definitely the top presence of all fighters in the middleweight division.
Compared with Xiang Yingying's disappointment, Romero was angry, never thought that in such a situation, there would be people who would dare to fight against him and beat him to the point that his head was clouded.
However, Romero's anger is also a deep fear of Xiang Hero. In the process of confronting Xiang Yingying just now, he clearly felt that he had hit Xiang Yingying several times, but this guy actually acted like no one, and his punching action did not stop at all. Although he is wearing a helmet, he is not so resistant to beating!
At this time, Romero finally understood what Robert Vitekel said in an interview after he was discharged from the hospital; "Xiang Hero's ability to resist attacks has surpassed his cognition, and in order to achieve this effect, if it is not for eating illegal drugs, maybe we should explain it from the spiritual level."
In this way, for the rest of the second round, Romero tried his best to take out Xiang Hero. He felt that Xiang Hero was like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, his toughness was too good, and he had no way to bring any substantial damage to Xiang Hero.
Ground-pounding is useless, submission is useless, because Xiang Hero's jiu-jitsu skills are mediocre, but his defense is really good, and with his brute strength, Romero really doesn't have any effective offensive means.
And as time passed, Romero could clearly feel that his physical strength was rapidly draining, because the Xiang hero who was pressed under him was too capable of tossing, and he had to use all his strength to suppress it, as long as he relaxed a little, the tiger under him could break free at any time and launch a fatal blow against him.
And so the second round ended.
The two sat diagonally and panted at each other. Xiang Yingying looked at Romero, who was panting extremely hard, and asked with a smile, "Still ...... Still fighting? ”
Romero glared at him and said, "Just ...... In that round just now, it was...... I won, for ...... Why not fight. Are you scared? ”
"Humph! Look at you, you have to ...... at any time If you want to lose your breath, I'm afraid you'll burp at will! Xiang Yingying joked with a grin.
"Damn it! You...... Don't be rampant, you kid, it's not certain who will beat whom! Romero said angrily.
This time, Xiang Yingying did not return the favor, but glanced at Romero with great disdain, and drank the sports drink handed over by Borg.
Romero was almost angry at Xiang Yingying when he saw this, and after glaring at Xiang Yingying fiercely, he also took the sports drink handed to him by Davis and drank it. He had to recover as much stamina as he could, as his physical disadvantage would only become more apparent as the match progressed, and he couldn't compare to the gym monster on the other side.
