Chapter XXXVII

Five days later, in the ring, Lin Yezheng and Norton were in actual combat training. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Both sides of the battle wore helmets and chest pads, and were fully protected. Under the ring, Jenon stared closely at the stage, holding a notebook in his hand, and bowed his head from time to time to record something.

Lin Ye faced Norton, his body shook slightly, looking for the gap between the other party, and his fists were protected in front of his face. Norton, on the other hand, was cautious in his arm flex while using his nimble footwork to move his body and find the right moment to strike.

When Norton moved to Lin Ye's left, Lin Ye keenly grasped the moment Norton's footsteps were lifted when he moved, and his center of gravity was unstable, and his left hand stabbed out, and he struck out like lightning.

"Smack."

The fist hit Norton's helmet right away. After Lin Ye finished this punch, he immediately retreated and retreated, not giving Norton a chance to fight back.

Norton took the punch, shook his head and said, "Lin, your jab progress is really fast. Before, your punch didn't hit me at all. It seems that Ali's teaching to you has been amazingly effective these days. ”

Lin Ye smiled slightly, and when he was about to attack again, Natalia pushed the door and walked in.

Looking at Natalia, Lin Ye put down the boxing fight. Natalia walked up to Lin Ye and said, "Lin, just now the promoter of IBF boxing champion Baro Yi called me and wanted to have a unified battle with you. Barlow's promoter gave very favorable terms, with an appearance fee of $60,000 and a 55-cent share of the ticket. Lin, what do you mean? ”

I was about to go to Barlow to fight, but he didn't expect to come to the door first. Lin Ye said: "I agree, Natalia. Natalia said, "Okay, then I'll go and discuss the details of the game with the promoter of Barlow One." Lin, you need to hurry up and train during this time. ”

Watching Natalia leave, Norton said, "Barlow One? This guy is a stranger. ”

Jenon said: "He's an IBF champion with a lot of strength and a technical flow. Most of the matches are won by 12 rounds on points. If Lin wants to fight a unified battle at this level, he is the only player who can fight. Jenon has a lot of confidence in Lin Ye this time, because after Lin Ye apprenticed with Ali, his strength grew rapidly. In particular, the jab is now very precise and sharp, which makes Jenon very satisfied.

In professional boxing, there are a total of seventeen divisions, and each of the four major organizations has its own boxing champion. According to calculations, there are almost 68 current boxing champions. If you count those international champions, intercontinental champions, and transitional champions, it's even more. There are so many boxing champions, and only a small part of the top ones can be remembered by fans, and most of them have no sense of existence for a long time.

In the boxing world, the top boxing champions, such as Mayweather, Hoya, Pacquiao, Tyson, Jones, etc., often have appearance fees of thousands or even tens of millions of dollars. Mayweather's later match with Pacquiao in 2015 had an appearance fee of hundreds of millions, not counting other revenues from PPV's share of tickets. In the eyes of the world, the top boxing champion is naturally infinitely beautiful and valuable, and is the darling and frequent visitor of the homepage page in the media.

But those ordinary boxing champions, who account for the vast majority of boxing in the boxing world, are as pale as candles in comparison. Their appearance fees are pitiful, and their influence is as good as it gets, with a few hundred thousand dollars for the better, tens of thousands of dollars for the more ordinary ones, and a few thousand dollars for the worse.

Barlow is one of those ordinary champions, and the 35-year-old defeated his predecessor, IBF champion Fana, to claim the IBF title last year. But for that game, Barlow took $50,000 alone. It was also the highest appearance fee he had ever paid in 42 fights in his career. For Barlow, there is no great strength, no fame, and he is 35 years old professionally, at the end of his career. In another three or four years, after a few fights, Barlow will leave the boxing world and retire in obscurity, and no one will remember him.

As far as Barlow is concerned, he is naturally unwilling to leave the boxing world in obscurity without anyone knowing. It's a pity that Barlow is in the super featherweight division, and the other three super featherweight champions are far stronger than him, so there is no need to think about a unified fight. As for upgrading to a higher level to challenge, Barlow didn't dare to think about it. Because his strength is too weak, he can barely knock out his opponent in the super featherweight division, and at higher levels, his fists are even less lethal.

After Lin Ye defeated Guzmán in an upset, Barlow immediately saw hope. Lin Ye's strength is not strong in his opinion, and defeating Guzmán's line is simply that Guzmán is hot-headed and loses his mind, and Lin Ye's ability to resist attacks is ridiculously strong. Although Baro Yi is weak, he is confident that he can defeat Lin Ye by points in 12 rounds. So he quickly negotiated with his promoter and came up with huge preferential conditions. Lin Ye was given an appearance fee of $60,000, and the ticket was divided into 55 percent. You must know that Barlow has been boxing for more than ten years, and he has only received a maximum appearance fee of $50,000. And Lin Ye is just a player who has just played 8 fights and won a gold belt, like Baro Yi at Lin Ye's age, the appearance fee is only a few hundred dollars when he plays professionally.

As soon as Barlow contacted Natalia from the promoter, he was very nervous, for fear that Lin Ye would refuse, after all, his obvious strength was inferior to Lin Ye's. Barlow didn't even have the heart to train anymore, and his mind was full of it. Just as he was wandering around the house, the promoter of Baro One pushed the door in with a happy face: "Hey, Baro One, Lin Ye has agreed!" Your contest will start in a month's time! ”

Barlow suddenly opened his mouth with joy and said, "That's great! God, that's the best news I've ever heard! "We'll have a press conference tomorrow. Barlow, although that kid's strength is not strong, you still can't underestimate the enemy, you have to prepare seriously for the battle this month. ”

Barlow said confidently: "I've watched all the videos of that kid's game, except for the physical resistance to blows, the others are not worth mentioning." I'm going to focus on my fitness for a month, and as long as I don't have a problem with my fitness within 12 rounds, that kid is going to lose. After saying that, Barlow was about to go to training, but he immediately turned around and said, "Lonnie, our match and the contract must be signed immediately to prevent that kid from repenting." ”

Promoter Loni said: "I'm going to find Lin Ye's promotion company to sign a peace, you don't have to worry." After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.
