Chapter 21 Knockdown
On the other side, President Kamogawa, who was standing under the ring, stared at Yagi with his eyes wide open, blinking as if he wanted to see through everything in front of him: "Yagi, is there something wrong with my eyes?
This kid's side sliding step was as smooth as silk, and the jab he just threw was clearly a flash punch.
Where on earth did he learn this skill?"
Yagi was confused by the president's sudden question, his eyes were as bright as light bulbs: "President, I... I don't know either.
Could it be that this kid is really a boxing genius and is born with these skills?"
Chairman Kamogawa was immediately furious and hit Yagi hard on the forehead with a slap: "Child prodigy?
Child prodigy, you're the head!
Let me think about it carefully! "
Yagi covered his head which was hurt by the blow and thought hard: "Oh, right, President.
Didn’t you let that kid practice with an imaginary enemy before?
He always said that he couldn't form an image of an imaginary enemy in his mind, and asking others for advice was of no avail.
Later, Itagaki said he could help, and the two simulated a round of actual combat, and the kid learned how to practice with imaginary enemies.
Could it be that, at that critical moment just now, he subconsciously copied Itagaki's fighting style in its entirety?
Even he didn’t realize it.”
After listening to Yagi's story, President Kamogawa stroked his chin, with a gleam in his eyes: "I see, it seems that all this has a reasonable explanation.
No wonder his posture and punching style looked so familiar, it turned out he was imitating Itagaki.
Then, we have to see how well this guy can replicate it. Maybe there will be even bigger surprises!"
On the boxing ring, Jintasu Okamoto felt very uncomfortable at the moment.
He originally thought that the sparring partner Luo Hao whom he hired was just a decoration, but he didn't expect that this "decoration" would beat him so hard that his nose would bleed.
This made him extremely shocked and angry.
Although the damage of this punch was only 1, its insulting power was as high as 1 ton, causing Jintasu Okamoto to quickly go from a confused state to a rage.
He roared like an enraged beast: "Roar! Boy, you succeeded in irritating me!"
Okamoto Jintai was like a tiger descending from the mountain, instantly approaching Luo Hao, taking a step forward, and then launching a thunderous Russian swing punch, intending to overwhelm all skills with strength.
Obviously, he was angry and gave up his tactics, determined to use violence as a weapon to completely defeat Luo Hao.
In Luo Hao's eyes, Okamoto Jintai's fist was like an enlarged hammer, approaching rapidly.
There was blood on Jintai Okamoto's lips, but his smile was full of confidence, as if he had already regarded Luo Hao as a sure thing.
"boom!"
However, to everyone's surprise, Okamoto Jintai's fist did not hit Luo Hao's face as he wished, but instead fell on Luo Hao's shoulder.
His eyes widened in disbelief - "I was clearly aiming at the bridge of the nose, how did it deviate from the direction?"
The audience was in an uproar, and someone exclaimed: "This sparring partner reacts so quickly, he uses the shoulder-lift defense, which is the essence of the Philadelphia shell stance!
This kind of defense can only be achieved through years of practice. What the hell is wrong with this kid? "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Hao's shoulders.
Luo Hao turned around and twisted his shoulders, cleverly deflecting Okamoto Jintai's fist.
Then, he clenched his right hand, instantly filling it with strength.
Even President Okamoto praised this: "Clever, defending and charging at the same time, this kid has strong reflexes."
In a flash, Luo Hao stepped forward with his left foot, and his body shot out like an arrow. His right hand suddenly blasted out, and an over-the-shoulder punch went straight to Okamoto Jintai's face.
Although this punch was hit from the outside, its power was slightly reduced.
Luo Hao knew very well that if he could go around to the inside, the effect would be better, but at this critical moment, he had no time to think about it.
Luo Hao's counterattack was extremely powerful. While exerting force, his hind leg also made a backward kicking movement similar to the Superman punch to strengthen the force of his arms.
"boom!"
Okamoto Jintai was knocked to the ground by this sudden punch, and his head hit the hard boxing ring heavily.
This blow was like a heavy thunder, shocking everyone.
Without hesitation, the referee yelled, “Knockout!”
Under the boxing ring, there was a moment of silence so quiet that even the air seemed to freeze.
The audience's eyes were filled with disbelief, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.
That scene was too dramatic and too unexpected.
The people in the Okamoto Boxing Gym were collectively speechless, fearing that their words would cause trouble before President Okamoto spoke.
However, among the crowd, Fujii, a columnist for Boxing Fans magazine, had his eyes as sharp as an eagle, fixed firmly on Luo Hao.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart: "I have really found a treasure this time. This kid's potential is simply staggering. I must pay special attention to him. Here comes the opportunity for promotion and salary increase, hahahaha!"
Chairman Kamogawa's face was filled with joy, as if he had picked up a treasure.
He looked at Yagi and ordered, "Yagi, prepare the contract immediately after you go back. I want to take this kid into the Kamogawa boxing gym and train him with all my strength."
Manager Yagi was slightly stunned and hesitated: "President, is this too hasty?
How about we observe for a while?"
The old man Yachuan glared at him, his tone full of disdain: "What do you know!
It would be a huge loss for us if this kid were poached by another boxing gym.
He is the kid with the most potential I have ever seen after Itagaki.
His physical condition may not be as good as Yingcun's, but his mind is extremely flexible and his quick response is simply world-class."
Yagi was so shocked by the president's words that he dared not refute, and could only respond respectfully: "Yes! President, I will do it when I get back."
At this time, the referee on the field had already started counting down for Jintasu Okamoto, and every number was like a hammer hitting people's hearts.
"1..."
"2..."
"3..."
At this moment, Luo Hao was standing on the stage, feeling as if he were in another world, and everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.
"I actually knocked out the future star Okamoto Jintai?"
"4..."
"5..."
When the referee counted to 5, Jintasu Okamoto struggled to support himself with his hands.
"6..."
"7..."
"8..."
When he counted to 8, Okamoto Jintai finally stood up, but his legs were still shaking. Obviously, the power of Luo Hao's heavy punch was still there.
Recovering immediately from a knockdown is not an easy task, even for a well-trained boxer.
After Okamoto Jintai stood up, he immediately said: "I can still fight!"
The referee observed his eyes, then raised four fingers and asked, "How many fingers are these?"
"Four!" Jintasu Okamoto answered immediately.
As the referee's raised hand fell, the game started again.
“Strike you dead while you’re ill!” Luo Hao naturally understood this simple truth. He rushed forward like a tiger descending from a mountain, vowing to defeat Okamoto Jintai in one fell swoop.
When everyone thought that Jintasu Okamoto was doomed.
"when!"
The bell rang to end the first round, and the referee rushed over like lightning, protecting Okamoto Jintai behind him...
"Both boxers will return to their respective rest areas."
