When the three words "Vikings" were shouted in a broken gong's voice, the three players who were watching the battle on the rope net immediately focused their attention.
Two seconds later, a bald man about 1.9 meters tall, burly, and bear-like walked out of the crowd and entered the ring.
A few minutes ago, when the audience was still placing bets, the "defending champion" had already taken off his shirt, tied his gloves and was ready to fight.
"Come on! Vikings!"
"You can definitely win——"
"Vikings, we support you!"
And the champion's supporters...or rather, the gamblers who have bet on him...can't wait to start cheering him on.
"Gentlemen..." Broken Voice struck while the iron was hot, and added after a pause, "Next... we invite this week's challenger... who is also the winner of last week's warm-up match, and who has won every battle so far.
...'Mirror Shield'!”
Before he finished speaking, another man who was slightly thinner than the Viking but still considered quite tall and strong entered the room.
When this man stepped into the ring, there wasn't much support. On the contrary, there were some boos.
Obviously, this Mirror Shield guy is not very optimistic, and not many people have bet money on him.
"You two, come over here..." Different from the atmosphere before the first fight, the two boxers in the "main match" seemed quite calm and did not provoke each other at all; therefore, they could only use the broken gong's voice.
He took the initiative to call the two of them to the middle of the ring and preached, "You know the rules..."
Although he said this, he still took the trouble to repeat the five rules, not for any other reason... just because it was indeed important.
After finishing speaking, he continued in a broken voice: "You two...is there anything you don't understand?"
"Ha... I've heard this forty-five times, what do you think?" The Viking's voice matched his image very well, sounding deep and powerful.
"No." Jingdun replied with these two words, and his voice was the same as his answer - nothing special.
"Okay..." the broken gong voice continued, "Then...I announce...today's second showdown..." At this point, he retreated outside the ring, "The 'Vikings'
, the championship battle against the 'Mirror Shield'... begins now!"
Zhizhi——
Almost at the moment the announcement was made, both players moved.
However, none of them moved forward. On the contrary... they each took two steps back in unison.
"I see...compared to the boxers in the first match, these two guys in the second match are on a completely different level." When Feng Bujue saw this scene, he thought without thinking.
"Is it because they are more cautious?" Honghu continued.
"No... this is not cautious." At this moment, Snow replied before Brother Jue, "It's not an 'expert's intuition', but a simple 'tactic'."
"Yulong... your reaction is still slow." Feng Bujue said to Honghu immediately, "Didn't you hear it just now? That 'Viking' has defended his title dozens of times, which means... he
He has fought dozens of on-deck boxing matches in front of everyone; and that 'Mirror Shield'... was the winner of the last on-deck boxing match, which means that he has at least had one boxing match in public."
"Oh~" After being reminded by the other party, Honghu understood, "Both of them... have watched each other's games. Therefore, they made the decision to keep their distance at the beginning based on the intelligence they knew.
'judgment."
"Fuck ngo!" Snow snapped his fingers and continued, "This alone is enough to show that their level is very different from the previous two." He paused, "You still remember... just now
The 'Corkscrew' and 'Triceratops'...the first thing they did after the start was to 'fight each other'; although this is indeed the most direct way to test each other's strength and punching speed, under the premise of insufficient intelligence
Well, this is actually very dangerous... If your opponent is a master whose level is much higher than yours, then you will probably be killed instantly the moment you throw the first punch."
"Hey! Pay attention, the Vikings are about to attack." At this moment, Feng Bujue reminded his two teammates at a very fast speed.
When Snow and Honghu were talking, their eyes did not leave the ring, and they both noticed the changes on the field.
However, after a brief stalemate, the Vikings suddenly leaned forward and rushed forward like a wild horse.
With a height of 1.9 meters and a burly body, it is undoubtedly very difficult to perform such actions under the premise of limited "physical skills"...
And his opponent Mirror Shield also reacted instantly... He immediately leaned his upper body back and leaned sideways, using his flexible steps to create a certain "relative still time" during the retreat in order to make a move.
Effective defense.
Huhuhu——
Soon, the Vikings were punching.
Those fist shadows made sound of breaking wind one after another, but... they didn't hit even once.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he did not use all his strength in these punches.
This round of assault by the Vikings seemed to be menacing, but in fact it was a combination of attack and defense, mainly testing; the punches he threw... were all based on the premise of "quickly closing the punch" and "keeping the body stable"
.
However, because he is very powerful, even this "test" level attack is quite lethal.
"Oh...it's really amazing." Feng Bujue looked at it for a few seconds and then said, "Such a 'testing' method can only be seen in this kind of boxing fight without 'round intervals' and 'referee intervention'
Already."
"Then..." Honghu, who basically knew nothing about boxing, became interested now, "What is the usual 'test' in a regular boxing match?"
"There will be certain differences depending on the level." Feng Bujue replied, "Anyway, the opening test at the super middleweight level and above... generally focuses on 'confrontation'."
Hearing those two words, Snow couldn't help but complain: "Why can you say a bit dirty about something that is quite normal..."
"Haha..." Honghu also laughed dryly, and turned to Snow, "Brother Snow, you should tell me."
"Well..." Snow pondered for a second and then continued, "Let's put it this way... In a regular boxing match, if two boxers who have never fought before face each other, the start is usually based on 'finding distance'
, to put it more vividly... both parties use their bodies to personally test each other's actual punching arm span, strike speed, and the 'optimal killing distance' and other information.
"Because this kind of information... no matter how many videos we watch or how many sparring partners we find who have similar physical conditions to our opponents, it is impossible to get a particularly accurate feeling; we can only use fists against each other when facing the opponent himself.
Only after you 'touch' the other person a few times...can you figure it out."
"Oh..." Honghu seemed to understand, "So... what exactly does the 'distance' you mean mean? Isn't it arm span?"
"Armspan is just one of the factors that determines 'distance'." Snow replied, "A person's 'optimal killing distance' is determined by his shoulder width, arm span, subtle differences in bones and muscles, punching posture, and muscle explosive power.
It is related to many factors such as reaction speed; not to mention too complicated, let's give the simplest example... In real life, most people don't know what posture they should use to fight.
Only when the target is far away can you deliver the most powerful punch." He paused for a second and then said, "And professional boxers will know this... and even refine it; for example - their most powerful punch
How far away should the punch be from the target, at what distance should the uppercut be thrown, at what distance should the fist be thrown, etc... And those top players can not only accurately control their own 'distance',
He can also quickly figure out the opponent's 'distance' in a duel... The last boxing champion of the last century, Lewis (lennox_lewis), is a 'genius at controlling distance'. Among his contemporaries, there are players who are more flexible than him in footwork.
There are people who can kill and destroy him with heavy punches. His only obvious advantage may be his "arm length"; but... he is still the most dominant boxer of that period because of his distance control.
's judgment is impeccable. As long as he grasps the 'distance' accurately, he can avoid the opponent's 'most powerful hits' in defense, while in attack, he can rely on the few 'effective heavy blows'
The final word.”
When it comes to boxing, Snow becomes eloquent. It seems... he is really an experienced driver; not only does he have a lot of knowledge in this area, but he also has many unique insights.
"Uh..." Honghu has a good understanding. After listening to this long paragraph, he can digest it. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Then... the testing method of the 'Viking' in front of us
, isn't it a bit rash?" He paused for half a second and added, "If he fights like this, he will only expose his 'distance' unilaterally, right?"
"Well..." At this time, Feng Bujue, who had been listening for a long time, slowly said, "This shows that he is very confident in his 'face'."
"Huh?" Honghu couldn't understand this sentence, "What do you mean?"
Bang——
Before Brother Jue could reply, the two men on the ring answered Honghu's doubts with their actions.
At this moment, Mirror Shield's straight punch just hit the Viking's face.
Just now... while the three players were chatting, the Vikings' offensive has not stopped; when the strength of the two sides is relatively close, it is impossible for one side to completely dodge all the attacks of the other side... So
, Mirror Shield quickly slowed down and used slapping and blocking defensive movements.
The Vikings, on the other hand, were relentless and continued to seek breakthrough points with the same "go and fight" rhythm.
Under such pressure, Mirror Shield will naturally have to fight several times to defend against counterattacks. If he only defends...then some habits and flaws in defense will be revealed faster than the opponent's offensive flaws.
So, we saw this blow in front of us - during a punch attack by the Vikings, Mirror Shield dodged and took advantage of the opponent's door to open up to hit a very powerful straight punch, directly hitting the opponent.
Go away with a confused face.
However, the damage caused by this blow was far less than what most viewers imagined.
Because... in that flash of lightning, the Viking, who judged that he was bound to be hit... immediately rushed his head forward and slammed his face into the fist swung by the mirror shield.
"Look... I relied on my face to withstand the opponent's counterattack." Feng Bujue said, "The next thing will be..."
What happened simultaneously with Brother Jue's words was...the Viking took advantage of Jingdun's right hand and punched Jingdun again, which in turn hit Jingdun's face.
"Hey, hey... don't tell me that 'fisting with the face' is also a tactic..." Honghu adjusted his eyes and shrugged, "No matter what... the ability to resist blows in this part cannot be trained, right?
"
"It's okay..." Unexpectedly, Snow continued at this time, "Of course... To be precise, it's not to train the 'face''s ability to resist being hit, but to train the 'head''s ability to resist being hit," he said.
He looked up and touched his neck, "Well... the method is mainly based on neck training that is very harsh, painful, and may even leave sequelae."
"And..." Before Snow finished speaking, Feng Bujue took over and said, "'Fighting with the face' is indeed a tactic..." He read without looking back, "Si
Didn't Nuo just say that every punch has an 'optimal killing distance'... When you are sure that you can't dodge the incoming punch, there is one last way to reduce the damage... that is to quickly
Shorten this 'distance'; take the moment the Viking was hit as an example... a slap in the face like this caused Mirror Shield's straight punch to fall before his arm and wrist were straightened.
After hitting the target and stopping, the power of the fist will naturally be greatly reduced. At least... it will be reduced to the point where the Vikings can grit their teeth and bear it."
"And the subsequent punch that Mirror Shield received was probably not that pleasant..." A second later, Snow followed Brother Jue's words and followed him.
While they were singing and singing, the Viking on the field was already pursuing the victory and gave Mirror Shield a set of combo punches.
It can also be seen from the nicknames used by the players that Mirror Shield is very confident in its defensive skills, and the actual situation... is indeed the case.
Even though he received a heavy punch and was chased continuously, Mirror Shield did not panic... He just followed the basic principles, adjusted his posture while being beaten, and gradually returned to the rhythm of normal defense.
.
Seeing this, the Vikings snorted coldly, and then slowed down the frequency of their attacks...
So, amidst the boos from the audience who couldn't see the way out, this "second" showdown seemed to have entered a tug-of-war rhythm.
But Jue Ge and Snow, who were high up, didn't think so. They almost said in unison: "Well... it's over..."
