Chapter 1212 The Pirates Return (Sixteen)

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 came to 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’ve got your back!”

And the champion's supporters...or rather, the gamblers who 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. ...'Mirror Shield'!"

Before he finished speaking, another man who was slightly thinner than the Viking, but still considered quite tall, entered the room.

When this man stepped into the ring, there was not much support. On the contrary, there were some boos.

Obviously, this Mirror Shield guy is not very optimistic, and not many people have bet their 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 them both 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, Po Luo's voice continued: "You two...is there anything you don't understand?"

"Huh... 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.

"OK..." 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 came out, both players moved.

However, none of them moved forward. On the contrary... they all 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... you are still slow to react." Feng Bujue immediately said to Honghu, "Didn't you hear that 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.

"Bingo!" Snow snapped his fingers and continued, "This alone is enough to show that their level is very different from the previous two." He paused, "Do you still remember... what happened just now? 'Corkscrew' and 'Triceratops'... the first thing they did after the start was to 'fight'; although this is indeed the most direct way to test each other's strength and punching speed, under the premise of insufficient intelligence , This is actually very dangerous... If the opponent is a master who is much higher than you, then you will probably be killed 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 running wild.

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...immediately leaning his upper body back and leaning his body to the side, 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 throwing punches.

The 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.

The Viking's attack seemed to be menacing, but in fact it was mainly about attacking with defense and 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.

"Wow... it's really amazing." Feng Bujue watched for a few seconds and said, "Only in this kind of boxing fight without 'round intervals' and 'referee intervention' can we see such a 'testing' method."

"Then..." Honghu, who knew nothing about boxing, also became interested at this moment, "What is the 'testing' usually like in a formal boxing match?"

"Depending on the level, there will be some differences." Feng Bujue replied, "Anyway, the opening test above super middleweight... generally focuses on 'touching'."

Hearing those two words, Snow couldn't help but complain again: "Why can a normal thing be made to sound a bit dirty by you..."

"Hehe..." Honghu also laughed dryly After two rounds, he turned to Snow and said, "Brother Snow, you should tell me about it."

"Well..." Snow pondered for a second and continued, "Let's put it this way... In a regular boxing match, if two boxers who have never fought each other face off, the opening is generally based on 'finding the distance'. To put it more vividly... both sides use their bodies to personally test each other's actual punching arm span, striking speed, and 'optimal killing distance' and other information.

"Because for information like this... no matter how many videos you watch or how many sparring partners with similar physical conditions as your opponent you find to test, it is impossible to get a particularly accurate feeling; only when you face your opponent in person and 'touch' each other with your fists a few times... can you figure it out. "

"Oh..." Honghu seemed to understand, "So... what exactly do you mean by the 'distance' you are talking about? Isn't it the arm span?"

"The arm span is only one of the factors that determine the 'distance'. "Snow replied," A person's 'optimal killing distance' is related to many factors, such as shoulder width, arm span, subtle differences in bones and muscles, punching posture, and the reaction speed of muscle explosiveness. Let's not talk about the complicated ones, and give the simplest example... In real life, most people themselves don't know what kind of posture they should use or how far the target is in order to deliver the most powerful punch. "He paused for a second, and then continued, "Professional boxers will know this... and can even break it down into details; for example - how far away from the target should their most powerful straight punch be when they are thrown, at what distance should they throw their uppercut, at what distance should their swinging punch be used, etc. And those top boxers can not only accurately grasp their own 'distance', but can also quickly find out the 'distance' of their opponents in a duel... The last boxing champion of the last century, Lennox Lewis, was a 'genius in controlling distance'. Among his contemporaries, there were those who were more flexible in their steps and those who beat him with heavy punches. His only obvious advantage might be his 'arm length'; but... he was still the most dominant boxer of that period because his judgment of 'distance' was impeccable. As long as he grasped the 'distance' correctly, he could avoid his opponent's 'strongest lethality' in defense, and when attacking, he could rely on a few 'effective heavy blows' to make the final decision. "

When it comes to boxing, Snow becomes eloquent. It seems... he is really an old driver; not only does he master a lot of knowledge in this area, but he also has many very 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... Isn't the probing method of this 'Viking' in front of us a bit aggressive?" He paused for half a second and added, "If he fights like this, he will only unilaterally expose his 'distance', right?"

"Well..." At this time, Feng Bujue, who had been listening for a long time, slowly read, "This shows that he is very confident in his 'face'."

"Huh?" Honghu didn't understand this sentence, "What do you mean? "

Bang——

Before Jue Ge could reply, the two people on the ring answered Honghu's doubts with their actions.

At this moment, Mirror Shield's straight punch hit the Viking's face.

Just now... While the three players were chatting, the Viking's offensive had not stopped; when the strength of the two sides was relatively close, it was impossible for one side to completely dodge all the attacks of the other side...So, Mirror Shield quickly slowed down his pace and used slapping and blocking defensive actions.

But the Viking was relentless, constantly looking for a breakthrough point with the same "walking and fighting" rhythm.

Under such pressure, Mirror Shield naturally had to play a few defensive counterattacks. If he If you only defend... then some habits and flaws in defense will be revealed faster than the opponent's offensive flaws.

So, we saw this attack in front of us - during a swing punch attack by the Vikings, Mirror Shield dodged and took advantage of the opponent's wide-open door to hit a very powerful straight punch, which went straight to the face.

However, the damage caused by this attack was far less than most viewers imagined.

Because... in that lightning moment, the Viking, who judged that he was bound to be hit... immediately rushed his head forward and slammed his face against the fist swung by Mirror Shield.

"Look... I used my face to resist the opponent's counterattack." Feng Bujue said, "The next thing will be..."

What happened at the same time as Brother Jue said this was... The Viking took advantage of the fact that Mirror Shield had not yet retracted his right hand and punched Mirror Shield in the face in return.

"Hey, hey... don't tell me that 'fighting with face' is also a tactic..." Hong Hu raised his eyes and shrugged, "No matter what... the ability to resist blows in this part cannot be trained."

"Of course..." Unexpectedly, Snow continued, "Of course... To be precise, it is not to train the ability to resist blows in the 'face', but to train the ability to resist blows in the 'head'." He touched his neck and said, "Well... the method is mainly based on very harsh, painful, and even potentially sequelae neck training."

"And ah..." Before Snow finished speaking, Feng Bujue took over the conversation and said, "'Fighting with face' is indeed a tactic..." He said without looking back. He read, "Didn't Snow 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... which is to quickly shorten this 'distance'; take the Viking's blow as an example... When he hits the Viking in the face like this, Mirror Shield's straight punch hits the target and stops before his arm and wrist are straightened. In this way, the power of the punch is naturally greatly reduced. At least... it is reduced to a level that the Viking can bear with his teeth."

"And the punch that Mirror Shield took afterwards may not be so pleasant..." A second later, Snow followed Jue's words and said half a sentence.

As the two of them sang in unison, the Vikings on the field had already taken advantage of the victory and gave Mirror Shield a set of combination punches.

From the nicknames used by the players, it can be seen that Mirror Shield is very confident in his defensive skills, and the actual situation... is indeed the case.

Even though he was hit hard and chased by others, Mirror Shield did not panic... He just followed the basic principles, adjusted his posture while being hit, and gradually returned to the normal rhythm of defense.

Seeing this, the Viking snorted coldly, and then slowed down the frequency of attack...

Thus, amid the boos of the audience who could not see the tricks, this "second game" of the duel seemed to enter the rhythm of a tug-of-war.

But Jue Ge and Snow, who were on the high ground, did not think so. They almost said in unison: "Well... it's over..." (~^~)
