Chapter 355: Angry Bull

"Brother!"

Zhou Jun came from Los Angeles to cheer on his brother.

"Jun is here, how is your English now?" Zhou Quan asked in English.

"It's okay." Zhou Jun replied in English.

"Well, it's you...... The future sister-in-law Zeng Tanuki. Zhou Quan introduced.

"Hello sister-in-law." Zhou Jun immediately shouted.

"You call him Jun." Zhou Quan said to Zeng Li with a smile.

"Hello Jun."

Zeng Li's face blushed and nodded.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "My younger brother has no other advantages, just calm. He is currently studying finance at UCLA University. ”

"Oh."

Zeng Li nodded.

Zhou Jun was pleasantly surprised, his mother and father never praised him at home, they all thought that he was inferior to his brothers and sisters, and he would have no future interest, but he didn't expect his brother to praise him.

The elder brother is his idol, and his praise is a huge surprise to him, and a happy look immediately appeared on his calm face.

The main event was preceded by three pre-bouts, which Bob Arum and Don King sold for $5 million, and that revenue alone recouped some of the money invested.

At a quarter past ten, it's time for the main competition.

Zhou Quan once again stood at the dim exit, and outside was a spot of light overlapping two pillars of light, as well as 20,000 fans cheering enthusiastically.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a world-watching, great crossover fight is about to begin, and next up will be our dinner, the WBC World Heavyweight Champion to defend his title."

The host's passionate voice is ringing: "Now there are black boxers, challengers to defend the World Champion Challenge, famous basketball players from China, champions from the NBA league, FMVP winners, Iron Fist Slayers from the NCAA Ice Hockey Championship, Iron Fist Zhou ...... Zhou Quan! ”

"Oh roar!"

The cheers soared upwards and reached their peak as Zhou Quan walked towards the passage.

"Iron Fist is 188 centimeters tall...... Three wins in three career fights, all KO......" The host continued to introduce his profile.

After hugging and bumping fists with Zeng Li, he slowly ran under the ring.

Tyson, a group of world boxing champions such as Riddick Bauer and Lewis came to greet him, which was never done before, indicating that his status in the boxing world has been recognized by these famous boxing champions.

"Hey, flyer, I heard that you played a lot, did you buy me to win?" When he saw Jordan, he smiled and teased.

Jordan snorted coldly and said, "You can think like this when you dream." ”

Zhou Quan shook his head regretfully and said, "It seems that you are going to lose money again." ”

"Haha......"

Stallone and Arnold, who were surrounding Zhou Quan, all laughed.

"Michael, you should buy Iron Fist, McCall is a clumsy bull in front of him." Stallone kindly persuaded.

"No, he can't beat McCall at all." Jordan stubbornly insisted.

Stallone and the others could only shake their heads helplessly, they all knew that the relationship between Jordan and Zhou Quan was very poor, and such a bet should be intentional, but it was not rational.

When he took the stage, it was still O'Neal and Isaiah Thomas, two NBA superstars, who helped him press the rope.

After Zhou Quan stepped into the ring, the host's voice sounded again: "Now I have the defending champion of this WBC World Boxing Title Defense, the world heavyweight boxing champion, the Bull from Chicago, USA...... Oliver McMak McMak ...... McCall! ”

"Oh roar!"

Another huge cheer sounded, but the momentum was not as good as Zhou Quan's.

The TV broadcaster of this boxing match is FOX, and the commentators are Rick Williams and Wells Chelsea.

At this time, Rick Williams said: "In terms of boxing status, popularity, box office appeal, and influence, Oliver McCall may not be as good as Michael Mueller, Mueller has been crowned king twice, if McCall loses the title tonight, at the age of 30, if he wants to be crowned king again, the chance should not be great." ”

Chelsea laughed: "It depends on your luck, whether it is Michael Muller beating Holyfield to win the WBC and IBF belts by a 12-round advantage, or McCall knocking out Lewis with a two-round heavy punch to win the WBC belt, it can be regarded as an upset, even a big upset, and it is possible to break out in the future, and the probability of a heavyweight one-punch knockout is very high." ”

"Wells, do you think tonight if Iron Fist wins, it's an upset?" Williams asked with a smile.

Chelsea thought carefully before saying: "It should be considered an upset, after all, most of the media around the world are not optimistic about him.

But judging from the odds of major gambling companies, it is not a big upset, at most a small upset. In addition, several of the most professional boxing media, such as boxing aircraft carriers, have similar attitudes to major gambling companies. ”

Williams laughed: "In other words, the major gambling companies and professional boxing media are more optimistic about Iron Fist than the defending champion Bull McCall than the mainstream big media around the world." ”

"Oh, is it true? That's great! ”

At this time, Chelsea received a statistic from the headset and immediately said very excitedly: "I am very happy to announce that the number of PPV orders for this World Boxing Title Defending Challenge has exceeded 2 million. ”

"2 million? Oh! ”

Williams was also very pleasantly surprised, and said excitedly: "The highest PPV sales volume of Iron Man Michael at his peak was 2.78 million, and it seems that another heavyweight superstar in the boxing world was born." ”

"Yes, that's it." Chelsea are excited.

"Do you hear me, Michael, the PPV sold for 2 million." Holyfield was surprised.

"I'm not deaf. Iron Fist, that kid is still a long way from my record. Tyson said dismissively.

"I haven't had such high sales in my life." Lewis shook his head regretfully.

"This kid is so popular! It's a pity, why isn't he my fighter? Don Kim said excitedly and regretfully.

"I'm thinking that there may be a lot of cross-border people in the future." Bob Arum said thoughtfully.

Holyfield sat next to Bob Arlum, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say: "I want to cross over, but I don't know which project to choose, and I want to have high exposure, just like the NBA." ”

"Yes, without the high exposure of the NBA, Tekken's popularity would not have been so high." Michael Tyson said.

"Huh?"

Jordan secretly calculated, with 2 million PPV sales, that bastard with Iron Fist can actually get 45 million US dollars?

At this moment, Chelsea's voice rang out again, shouting more excitedly than before: "Update the PPV sales data again, and now it has rushed to 2.4 million." ”

"Oh!"

The exclamations at MGM Arena swept through the stadium like a sudden hurricane.

At this time, Oliver McCall stepped into the ring, and his momentum was extraordinary, glaring at Zhou Quan like an angry bull.

Zhou Quan made a pause with a smile on his face, and then moved sideways and rotated, which is the basic movement of bullfighting.

"Bastard!"

McCall was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush over.

"Stand back!"

The referee shoved McCall on the chest and shouted loudly.

"Oh roar, haha......"

The MGM Arena burst into laughter.

"Iron Fist is in bullfighting, the movements are very standard, haha!"

"Whether it's the matador's iron fist that overturns the angry bull, or the angry bull that overturns the matador's iron fist, we're very much looking forward to it."

Commentators Williams and Chelsea burst into laughter.

Williams added: "Iron Fist is known for being strong among NBA point guards, and there is no stronger point guard than him, but in the heavyweight division, he is the lightest heavyweight fighter. ”

Chelsea said: "Cheetah Holyfeld weighs 96 kilograms, which is also heavier than Iron Fist, and he is known for his speed, similar to Iron Fist, both fast.

But Holyfield has a big weakness when it comes to maintaining speed, and that is his lack of fitness. ”

Williams nodded, "The cheetah is the fastest beast and has the fastest speed, but physical strength is its weakness.

And the same is true of the cheetah Holyfield, who has to use the rules as much as possible to save energy, such as constantly cuddling. And physical fitness, from the current point of view, does not seem to be the weakness of Iron Fist. ”

Chelsea said: "Yes, the iron fists against David Tua and Michael Muller, both played stormy attacks, and his fitness didn't seem to limit him, he is a fighter with speed and stamina.

However, so far, he has only fought four professional fights, and his most rounded rounds are only three, so his fitness is not really well proven.

If Oliver McCall can hold on for a few more rounds tonight, he may be able to push the limits of Iron Fist's fitness. ”

"That's right."

Williams nodded, agreeing with his partner.

At this time, Chelsea was very excited: "Great, PPV sales have exceeded 2.6 million. ”

Williams reacted and said excitedly: "That's the attraction of the greatest crossover battle." ”

"Damn, it won't overtake me, will it?" Michael Tyson was a little apprehensive.

"The fight is about to start, and it's going to rise very quickly now, Michael, he's got you ahead of you tonight." Holyfield said.

Tyson's cheek twitched, and surprisingly no rebuttal.

In the next second, Chelsea's rousing voice rang out again: "2.8 million, congratulations to Tekken, you have become the person with the highest PPV sales in boxing, you have broken Michael Tyson's sales record, which is a great record......"

"Is this broken?"

Michael Tyson and the other champions looked at each other.

"3 million should be broken." Lewis said bitterly.

"I'm also going to cross borders." Holyfield said exasperatedly.

The boxing champions all laughed bitterly, especially Tyson, they have been fighting for so many years, and they were actually surpassed by a kid who has only fought three or four boxing matches, is this the attraction of crossover?

After the referee explained the rules, the two fighters returned to the bottom post, the assistant wiped Vaseline, and the coach began to arrange techniques and tactics.

"Be careful."

Zeng Li was still standing under Zhou Quan's corner pillar, and when she bumped fists with Zhou Quan, the noise was very loud, and she reminded loudly.

Zhou Quan gritted his teeth and nodded at her with a smile.

"3 million. Now it's 3 million. ”

Chelsea's shrill and passionate voice rang out again.

"Oh!"

The MGM Arena immediately resounded with earth-shattering shouts and cheers.

"Iron Fist, congratulations."

A group of people shouted at Zhou Quan under the ring.

Zhou Quan smiled and raised his fist in response.

On the other hand, McCall is also very happy, he is a part of this record, 3 million sales, he can get more than 36 million, plus the appearance fee and some box office and sponsorship income, it is 60 million US dollars, more than the money he has earned in his life, even if he loses the title, it is very cost-effective.

At this time, Lewis stared fiercely at McCall in the ring, he is the unluckiest man, he was unexpectedly knocked out by McCall in the second round last year, if not that, now he and Zhou Quan are on the ring.

With his qualifications, he can get at least 50% or even 60% of the PPV's share, and the thought of losing not only the belt, but also at least 50 or 60 million US dollars, plus the appearance fee is 80 or 90 million US dollars, makes him hate McCall to death.

"Bell!"

That's when the bell rings for the first round.

Zhou Quan and McCall stand on both sides of the bench and are the same height, but McCall's physique is two laps larger, making Zhou Quan look very thin.

"Some media describe them as the difference between black bears and brown bears, and they are really similar in physique." Williams quipped.

"It's supposed to be a cheetah, with a black bear." Chelsea laughed.

"No, maybe Iron Fist doesn't have the same physical strength as Holyfield, it could be a tiger." Williams said.

“Box!”

At this time, the referee gave an order, and the first round began.

"Here we go!"

Boxing fan Stallone said excitedly.

Zhou Quan immediately slid left and circled McCall's right flank, which allowed him to play to his movement advantage and suppress his opponent's backhand to prevent him from throwing a heavy backhand.

Oliver McCall immediately adjusted his pace, and by this time Zhou Quan's attack had already begun.

A lightning-fast jab that slammed into McCall's face.

His intention was to draw his opponent's hug with a jab, wait for his opponent to reveal the gap underneath, and then attack his opponent's chin with a hook hand.

But McCall ignored it, as if Zhou Quan's jab did not exist, and after adjusting his pace, facing Zhou Quan's jab, it was a left hand swing that hit Zhou Quan's right temple.

"Whew!"

The moment he hit McCall's forehead, Zhou Quan's reaction was swift, and he dived instantly, dodging McCall's very swift swing, and the fighter swept over his scalp.

In the next moment, he retreated, got rid of McCall, who wanted to pursue him, and ended the first contact.

"Bull swings into the air!" Chelsea shouted.

"Hit! Iron Fist gets an effective blow. Williams said quickly.

"It seems that McCall's tactics tonight are very clear, which is to use his strong striking ability, steel chin, punch for punch, and knock out Iron Fist, just like he did in the second round with a surprise heavy punch knockout of Lewis." Chelsea said.

Lewis, who was watching the fight under the ring, was a little unhappy, and the commentary explained, what are you mentioning me for, don't you think I'm unlucky enough?

"Bang bang!"

Zhou Quan made the second contact, or grabbed McCall's right wing in a circle, pressed the opponent's back hand, quickly hit a left and right straight punch combo, and then quickly retreated to get rid of it, the whole process was like a dragonfly in water.

This time, he didn't hit an effective blow and hit the opponent's huddle, and McCall's defensive skills were very good.

McCall also countered defensively, but the combos of straight left and right punches were all missed.

His nervous reaction speed, pace movement ability, punch speed, and communication are far from Zhou Quan, and by the time he reacts and counterattacks, Zhou Quan has already gone far.

"Whew!"

Oliver McCall roared like an angry bull, staring at Zhou Quan fiercely, and forced his feet over, with great momentum.

"Want to push me into the bottom corner? Scold! ”

Zhou Quan quickly circled to the flank for the next attack.
