Ding ding ding!

The fifth round began.

"Link! Go!"

"Link, KO him!"

"Link, use your heavy punches!"

The audience knew that Link had declared that he would KO Andre in five rounds to end the match. This was the fifth round, and also the last round. All the audience stood up, staring at the ring, wanting to see if Link could do it.

More than a dozen boxing promoters and their assistants also stood up to see this crucial round, whether Link would fulfill his promise and complete the KO, or Andre would hold on and defeat Link.

On the ring, Link looked at Andre who was walking towards him.

"Let's see how many more rounds you can hold on. I will KO you within eight rounds."

"Eight rounds?"

Andre was stunned for a moment, "This is the fifth round, the last round you promised."

"A joke, the match is ten rounds, you believe me when I say five rounds? Besides, I only said I would KO you within five rounds, I didn't say that I would lose if it went over five rounds."

Link shook his head and smiled.

"You lied?!"

Andre shouted angrily.

"Idiot, this is called tactics, understand? As long as I beat you, who cares about any public promises."

Link sneered.

The referee came over to warn the two of them not to talk on the ring, and then announced the start of the fifth round.

"You liar! I'm going to kill you!"

Andre rushed over angrily, a fierce straight punch aimed at Link's head.

Link instantly dodged sideways, raised his fist, and a fierce backhand punch hit Andre's head hard.

Andre's head twisted sharply to the left, and the sweat and saliva on his head were thrown to the left. Andre's body involuntarily fell towards the ring. He struggled not to fall, but still...

Bang!

Andre fell heavily on the ring.

"Wow!"

"Another backhand punch!"

"Link KO! Link KO!"

"Link champion!"

The audience all stood up, applauding and shouting non-stop.

Andre lay on the ring, and the referee squatted beside him counting, "10, 9, 8, 7..."

When he counted to four, Andre raised his head and propped himself up on the ring.

"Andre, don't attack, there are only 100 seconds left in the match, hold on, and you will win."

Andre's coach shouted.

Andre glanced at the coach, anger in his eyes. This bastard lied about the five rounds. If he continued to defend, he would be beaten to death. How could he defend now?

He roared and waved his fists to attack Link.

"Idiot! Defend, defend fully, don't attack, you idiot!"

In the audience, Greg Cohen covered his forehead and cursed angrily.

Bang!

On the ring, Link took another punch to the face, and at the same time, a swing hit Andre's left cheek.

Bang!

Andre fell on the ring again.

"Wow! Third KO!"

"Link! Champion!!"

"Link! Champion!!"

The audience shouted in unison, the shouts deafening.

Link raised his fists, gasping for air, staring at Andre lying on the ground. The referee squatted beside Andre and counted, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6..."

Andre struggled to stand up again.

"Andre, don't attack, protect your head, there are only 30 seconds left in the match, one breath, and you can win the match."

Andre's coach shouted.

"Idiot! Hold on! Don't attack, use the hugging tactic, idiot!!!"

Greg Cohen raised his fists and roared.

The other promoters looked at him in surprise.

Andre looked at the coach, roared, raised his fists, and continued to swing at Link fiercely.

Bang!

Hearing that there were less than thirty seconds left, Link gave up his defense and almost simultaneously used a straight punch to hit Andre's forehead hard, using all his strength.

Bang!

Link's chin was hit and he staggered two steps, falling on his butt.

Bang!

Andre's forehead was hit and he fell back against the ropes. He reached out and grabbed the ropes, struggling to stand up.

"Andre, there are only 10 seconds left in the match, stand up! Stand up and you win."

Andre's coach shouted from the stage.

Andre lay on the ground, grabbing the ropes and slowly standing up.

Link clenched his fists tightly and looked at the opponent coldly, ready to pounce at any time.

Andre suddenly staggered and fell headfirst onto the ring.

Link slowly stood up, gasping for air, sweat dripping down his skin like rain.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

The referee finished counting to ten, and Andre failed to get up in time.

Boom!!

"Link wins!"

"Link is the champion!"

"Link champion!"

More than 10,000 spectators in the audience shouted in unison, and the huge sound wave made the roof of the American Airlines Arena rumble.

Link straightened his back, faced all the audience, and raised his fists forcefully.

"Link! Champion!"

"Link! Champion!"

Although the muscles in Link's arms were constantly trembling and twitching, and sweat was constantly pouring out, his breathing was heavy, he still held his fists high. The white light shone on his strong back, with a bronze luster, like a steel giant.

"Link! Champion!"

Reggie, West, and the people from the boxing gym rushed onto the ring, lifted Link up, and excitedly shouted "Link champion."

Andre Berto was also carried away from the ring.

"Idiot!"

Greg Cohen kicked the chair, and his face immediately showed a painful expression. He limped away from the audience with his right foot.

"All boxing fans, all contestants, after witnessing by the Amateur Boxing Organization, the Golden Gloves Association Committee, and everyone here, I am honored to announce that the overall champion of this year's super middleweight is Mr. Link Baker."

On the boxing ring, Bernard Kenny, the current chairman of the American Amateur Boxing Organization, raised Link's arm high in front of more than 10,000 spectators and contestants, and in front of many TV cameras and media reporters.

"Link! Champion!"

The audience and fans shouted and celebrated loudly, and the joyful shouts filled the entire venue.

"I am also honored to present this year's Golden Gloves super middleweight trophy and a check for $100,000 to Mr. Link Baker on behalf of the Golden Gloves Association and the Amateur Boxing Organization."

Bernard Kenny took the Golden Gloves trophy and a check for $100,000 from his assistant and handed them to Link.

Link took the trophy and raised it high towards the audience and the boxing fans.

Reggie and the others lifted him and the trophy together.

"Link! Champion!"

"Link! Champion!"

More than 10,000 spectators shouted in unison.

Bang bang bang!

Dozens of fireworks exploded overhead, and colorful paper scraps and ribbons fluttered down.

Link looked at the ribbons falling from the top of his head and couldn't help but think of how his coach, Lao Liu, and assistant, Xiao Yang, had also bought more than a dozen fireworks before the Iron Cage War finals, saying that everyone would celebrate when he won the championship.

It was a pity that he couldn't stand up at the last moment, and those fireworks didn't have time to bloom.

But this time he didn't let himself down, didn't let the boxing fans down, and didn't let his coach and friends down. If Lao Liu knew, he should be satisfied too, right?

Link looked at the sky and raised the corners of his mouth.

Hiss!

HBO host Steve Mandanda said to the camera, holding a microphone.

The cameraman turned the camera to the lively and jubilant boxing ring.

"CUT!"

"OK, that's a wrap!"

"Are you going for a drink tonight? I'll introduce you to a Bolivian hottie."

"Don't talk nonsense, the recording hasn't been put away yet."

Zizi! Squeakâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"
