It was still the dilapidated underground boxing gym, but the difference was that the original iron cage boxing ring disappeared and was replaced by a cleared cement floor.
The gamblers who were supposed to be crowding around were nowhere to be seen. Only a camera mounted on a tripod was placed in the four directions of the cement floor in the east, west, north and south.
The four red dots are like the eyes of the cold and ruthless God of Death, staring at the center of the boxing gym.
In the small room next door, Li Xia quietly looked at his opponent a few steps away from him.
This boxer's physique is quite thin. After taking off his clothes, he looks even thinner, even thinner than Li Xia. But he is very skillful in wrapping his wristbands. He wraps them up in the blink of an eye, and then leaves.
He went to the shelf where a series of boxing gloves were placed and carefully picked them one by one.
After a moment, he bent down to pick up a boxing glove, blew the dust off it, and put it on.
Li Xia asked doubtfully: "Brother, isn't it a bare boxing rule today? Why are you wearing gloves?"
This guy who looked even thinner than Li Xia raised his head and looked at Li Xia and smiled: "You don't have to wear it, I'll wear it."
When Li Xia heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
In terms of lethality alone, the difference between wearing gloves and not wearing gloves is extremely huge. In a normal boxing match, boxers can usually go back and forth and fight lively for eight or nine rounds.
But if both sides take off their gloves and start fighting, the fight will basically be over within a few minutes. The reason is simply that fists without gloves are extremely heavy. Heavy ones can instantly make people lose their combat effectiveness, and even cause serious physical damage.
trauma.
"This..." Li Xia was just about to ask, but the guy had already walked out of the locker room quickly.
"No matter what you chase, you don't weigh your own weight." The young man who was the follower of the boxing gym owner was leaning on the wall next to the door, smoking a cigarette, and said scornfully, "With your three-legged cat skills, why do you think that
Will they bare box with you?"
"Pooh."
The young man spat on the ground and staggered out of the corridor: "Move quickly, finish early, and I will go have supper early."
Li Xia was silent.
He didn't quite believe that the other party would be merciful and let him go. This was all money, and the gambling money could pile up as high as a hill.
It's just... Li Xia walked to the glove stand where the man was standing before and looked down.
The gloves in the first row are the lightest, 8 ounces, standard black market boxing gloves. They are also the most frequently replaced equipment here. As soon as you pass by, they are basically brand new.
The gloves in the second row are slightly heavier, 10 to 14 ounces. The heavier the gloves, the lower the lethality. They are mainly used by boxers with sparring partners to warm up.
The gloves in the last row are the heaviest at 16 ounces. They are used for boxers to practice dodges and defensive counterattacks. In the underground boxing gym, they are just dusty decorations. I guess they were treated as a complete set when they were purchased.
I bought some supplies and put them here.
But now, the gloves in the first and second rows are all neat and tidy, but only the third row, which no one has ever used, is missing a pair of gloves in the far corner.
...
office.
"Boss, why did you ask the people over at Shuitou to put on gloves? Didn't they say bare boxing? It doesn't look exciting." The young man who left the locker room walked into the boss's office angrily.
Last week, as a staff member of the underground boxing gym, there was no need to pry for inside information, because he was the one who brought Li Xia from the school gate.
With his skinny figure and reportedly excellent academic performance, against Doge, who has been standing in the boxing ring for a month, isn't this the legendary living target?
Those gamblers who drink heavily every day love to watch this kind of sadistic boxing match. According to the boss's usual intention, this kind of match can also be regarded as a benefit to the gamblers who always give him money.
So the young people took out all the online loans they could get, advanced their salary for the next three months from their boss, collected 100,000 yuan, which was also the upper limit of this type of welfare bureau, and then bet all on Dogg.
On the body.
He thought that although the odds were a little low, he could still make tens of thousands of dollars, which was a good amount of extra money. However, he never thought that Doge would be upset and his wallet would suddenly return to zero.
This chest hurts as much as it hurts.
"Excited? Are you annoyed with the money you lost last week?" The fat bald man saw through the emotions of his subordinates at a glance, and joked, "Last year, when Argentina played Saudi Arabia, you lost your butt, have you forgotten? This
It's an unpopular game, but it's the favorite game of the banker behind the scenes. You've been working under my hand for so many years in vain, can't you tell?"
"Boss, when I asked you to advance my salary last time, I saw that you were quite happy. You said it was from the Welfare Bureau or something, so I thought you were supporting me..." The young man touched his nose and made a small protest.
.
"Happy? Of course I'm happy if you give me money. Why aren't you happy?" The fat bald man laughed. It was really fun to earn face in front of his subordinates, even though he met him by mistake at the beginning and got an upset.
Li Xia, but this does not prevent him from showing his foresight and insight in front of young people at this time.
"Hey, boss, I'm not happy. I promised bare boxing..."
"Why, you still want to beat someone to death?" The fat bald man held a thin cigar in his mouth and joked, "If you really beat him to death, you will pay for it? The police are here, you will explain?"
The young man chuckled: "Boss, that's not what I meant. I'm mainly afraid of the opinions of the guests. As you know, those people like to watch something bloody and exciting!"
"They want to watch shit! They want to win money and have fun at the same time. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" The fat bald man smiled coldly, "Speaking of which, if we really want to do naked boxing, what will happen to that skinny boy?
How many punches can you throw? How exciting can a match that ends in a flash be? Who will come to my place, Fatty Luo, to watch boxing in the future?"
"Yes, the boss is right." The young man nodded repeatedly, but then hesitated, "The person over at Shuitou wore gloves, but he used bare fists, but I feel that it is a bit advantageous to him."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Cheap? Do you know who is coming to Shuitou this time? Big L has already fought against all the invincible opponents in Shuitou, and this time he comes to us.
Play! Let alone the gloves, even if he wears handcuffs, he can still beat that kid into trouble!"
As he said that, the fat bald man gritted his teeth, but he was thinking in his heart: Damn, don't think I don't know, you are here to act. I'm going to rush over and pull someone's head. Don't make me laugh when you throw him in a manhole.
die!
Last month, someone came from Shuitou and said they were having a bare-knuckle boxing match without rules.
At that time, the bald fat man was quite unhappy. Who didn't know that Shuitou was specialized in this kind of thing? Come to his place to do bare-knuckle boxing. Isn't this naked cruelty?
It doesn't matter if you abuse food, it can show those gamblers something different from usual, and the bald fat man is also happy. He has also seen bare boxing, it is quite bloody and exciting, and it is really different from what he did here wearing boxing gloves.
However, according to friends on the road, the situation in Shuitou is not very good now, so they thought of holding an exhibition in the old town of Bald Fatty, where there are more wealthy people, in order to attract more customers.
This would cost the fat bald man his life, so he refused to let go.
But those people who play bare boxing in Shuitou are all tough guys. The fat bald guy who is used to being pampered is no match for them. This bare boxing match is a must and a must.
Just at this time, Li Xia, who defeated the strong with the weak and became an upset, appeared.
The bald fat man's eyes lit up, so he laid out such a situation. On the grounds that the boxers on his side had never done bare boxing, he set a rule for the boxers on the Shuitou side, that is, they must wear gloves, and the bald fat man
The boxer on the other side uses bare boxing.
This condition is very harsh. Anyone who has stood in the boxing ring for a few days knows what it means. Bare boxing versus gloves, or in this kind of black market boxing with basically no rules, you have never heard of it.
things.
The fat bald man was very proud of himself, watching those fierce people with water heads crumble in front of him. It was a feeling of relief from the bottom of his heart. Then he started to speak more, thinking of mocking the other party, but instead he hit himself with a brick.
feet.
He said that his boxer was just a student who had just graduated from school and was a good student. He had only fought one black market fight. What he meant was, what are you afraid of? If you don't dare to fight, go home as soon as possible.
The bald fat man's original intention was to ridicule the opponent, but the opponent just responded and sent their strongest bare-knuckle boxer, Big L.
"Forget it, it's a blessing, not a curse, it's a curse you can't avoid!"
The fat bald man took out the thin cigar from his mouth, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "Let's go and bet too!"
Because this competition was started by people from Shuitou, the gambling was naturally undertaken by them. After all, it was a welfare bureau. They couldn't mistreat the hosts and the rich gamblers from the old city they were planning to absorb, so they had to give them some sweeteners.
They taste it.
Gambling has been done this way since ancient times. You give people a little sweetness to attract people first, and then cut them off with a knife. Hey, you are so fat.
And when a fledgling student faces off against the top bare-knuckle master in Shuitou, the result of winning or losing is clear at a glance. It is true that it is about welfare and giving money.
"Old... boss, bet... who?" The young man was a little surprised.
"Who else could it be?" The fat bald man stood up and walked over, "No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat!"
No, I was told earlier not to be greedy for petty gains. Let me think about it, did the boss place a bet when Argentina lost...
The young man was dumbfounded for a moment, then he realized what he was doing when the boss shouted angrily, and quickly followed him out. However, he was thinking about himself, and was about to take out another online loan and follow the boss to bet on Big L.
