Winning or losing in the boxing ring is often related to psychological factors.
If a boxer has poor mental quality, he will easily lose to someone who is worse than him in the ring.
Cheng Hao has a very good psychological quality, and Claude has an even better psychological quality.
The former is because he has played many times and has gained experience, so he can adjust his mood by himself, while the latter is purely because he doesn't think too much.
However, in addition to having good mental qualities and not being afraid of others, it is best for a boxer to make his opponent afraid of him.
Once your opponent is afraid of you, your chances of winning are greater.
Old George realized this very early on, so he kept training Claude, letting Claude learn to make fierce expressions, and letting Claude show off his ferocity and beast-like temperament before the game.
John saw Claude in this state. He suddenly remembered what Mr. Carter said, that the man in front of him was stronger than Cheng Hao.
He was a little scared.
What if his opponent was truly formidable and he lost? He wasn't in top form yet; he'd even done exhausting training this morning...
John thought too much for a moment, and then immediately realized that something was wrong.
He shouldn't think so much. If he thinks too much, he will only perform poorly and lose the next game!
To overcome his fear, John belittled his opponent. "Boy, you can't beat me! I'm going to knock you down like a fool!" His opponent's reaction wasn't right. Did he seem a little foolish? John immediately attacked his opponent from this perspective.
Under normal circumstances, Claude would probably reply with something like "I'm not a fool", but both Old George and Cheng Hao had told him not to talk to anyone after entering the ring.
So, Claude just stared at John, his eyes carefully trained to be very fierce.
John felt creepy when he was stared at, but luckily the whistle for the game sounded at this moment.
Before John could move, Claude rushed forward.
Mr. Carter said as he watched the game, "Claude does look strong. If he's good enough, I'll sign him..."
Mr. Carter trailed off.
Before he could finish his words, Claude had already come up from below, hitting John in the face with a left fist, and then hitting John with several punches in a row.
John, the number one man under the boxing champion, who had only lost to the boxing champion, was knocked down so easily.
Mr. Carter was a little confused at first, and then he gasped: "He...he..."
He looked at Claude in horror, and at this time, Claude had already jumped off the ring and walked towards them.
Claude's shoulders and arms were particularly thick, and he had a bad temper when he walked. He looked a bit like a chimpanzee, and his cold and fierce face...
As he moves forward step by step, he brings inexplicable pressure and fear to people.
Mr. Carter subconsciously took a few steps back and then couldn't help trembling.
The person in front of him was so terrifying! His hair stood on end!
Mr. Carter was terrified when Claude suddenly laughed.
The fierce expression on his face disappeared, revealing a silly smile, and his whole person looked excited: "Cheng, Cheng, I'm done, I won!"
He came in front of Cheng Hao and Old George with an expression of a child asking for a reward.
In fact, Mr. Carter didn't think this was a child asking for a reward. It was simply a pug meeting its master. But with such a powerful boxer, he couldn't call him a pug...
"Claude, you're awesome!" Cheng Hao hugged Claude and gave him a game console.
Claude cheered and immediately took the game console to the corner to play games.
After Claude knocked John down, he completely ignored John. But after Cheng Hao gave him the game console, he walked towards John and pulled John up: "Are you okay?"
"Shit!" John cursed, feeling a little bit wronged.
He didn't receive a cent for his appearance fee, but he fought a match and lost...
This is really embarrassing!
John glared at Claude fiercely and said with a grin, "He's very strong, very strong. He will become the boxing champion!"
He lost to Claude, so the only way he could save face was to say that Claude was very powerful.
He will only lose to the boxing champion, so the person in front of him will be the boxing champion in the future!
John felt relieved when he thought about it.
"John, thank you today. I will give you a red envelope later." Mr. Carter hurried over to comfort John, personally sent John out the door, and asked his assistant to take John to the hospital to treat his wounds.
After doing all this, Mr. Carter straightened his clothes and walked towards Old George with his bulging belly. "Old George, dear, you are really amazing! You always find strong boxers! Come, let's talk about the contract!"
Mr. Carter's face was very red, of course it was not because of shyness, but because of excitement. He kept rubbing his hands and discussed the signing matter with old George.
Claude is not famous yet and cannot bring in any income. Even in the future, due to his situation, he will not be able to accept many activities and advertisements.
So George didn't ask for a signing bonus. As for the advertising and game profits, it was the same as the contract Cheng Hao signed before, except that Cheng Hao signed for four years, while Claude only signed for three years.
Three years later, if the company still wants to sign Claude, it will depend on Claude's fame by then. If Claude has become a boxing champion by then, the company will have to pay a large signing fee.
Old George told Mr. Carter about Claude's situation in great detail, but Mr. Carter didn't care.
As long as Claude is strong enough, nothing else will be a problem!
Even if they have to make less money because of Claude's special situation, their company's popularity will definitely increase greatly after promoting such a boxer.
Mr. Carter was very satisfied with Claude. When he learned that George planned to let him play professional games directly, he was very happy: "He should play professional games. He will definitely make a big splash in the game! God, everyone will like him. He is so strong! OK, I lost my temper, but he is really great. I will recommend him to play!"
Professional boxing matches are organized by various boxing organizations, and various boxing companies basically have good cooperative relationships with them and can recommend boxers to participate.
ZYF Company can recommend several boxers, and now Mr. Carter has decided that Claude will be one of them.
Old George quickly signed a contract with Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter also gave Cheng Hao's original team to Claude and hired Cheng Hao as Claude's boxing trainer.
He even said that he would find someone to protect Claude during the game.
Previously, Cheng Hao was suddenly shot and the murderer was caught. He also said that someone asked him to do it, but in the end only a small follower of OC Company was implicated.
This incident made OC's reputation in the boxing world even worse, and made many people start to be wary of OC, but OC was still there... Carter was worried that OC would cause trouble again.
Although the possibility is not great - after the news about Cheng Hao came out, it is said that people in the underworld are unwilling to take jobs against boxers - boxers are too powerful, and they are afraid!
At this time, it was not long before the WBA professional boxing match, so Cheng Hao and his team did not go back and started training directly at OC Company.
Claude's training volume has increased, but he doesn't mind, because he used to be able to play games for only two hours a day, but now he can play games whenever he has rest time, which adds up to at least five hours a day.
Moreover, every time he trains for a period of time, he can play games... With such a game hanging in front of him, Claude doesn't feel tired at all.
Not to mention, Cheng Hao also bought him a new game console and has been with him ever since!
Claude feels that his life is still very happy and he is happy every day.
Cheng Hao was not so happy - he started training again.
Cheng Hao's right hand couldn't undergo high-intensity training due to shoulder problems, so he did some simple training and then doubled his efforts on training his left hand...
Cheng Hao was very cruel to himself, but Old George couldn't bear it as he watched from the side: "Cheng Hao, are you really going to be okay like this?"
Cheng Hao's shoulder is already injured. Will further training make the injury worse?
"I'm fine." Cheng Hao looked at Old George with a smile, while trying hard to maintain his expression so as not to show any pain.
Insisting on training would make his shoulders very painful and uncomfortable, but since he traveled through time, he had been given a golden finger by God - he had a strong recovery ability.
His injuries healed faster than others, and any damage to his body during training could be recovered with just a good night's sleep.
That doesn't affect his body.
Cheng Hao wasn't sure if he could recover, nor was he sure if he could still box, but he was willing to give it a try.
The main thing is that he doesn't know what else to do besides this.
Cheng Hao arranges a lot of training for himself, but he does not train at night.
Every day at five o'clock, he would finish training, take a shower and eat something, and at half past seven, he would call Lin Yuxun and Danny to tell them what happened that day.
Phone calls abroad are not expensive, and they often talk for half an hour. That’s all, but after the call, Cheng Hao would also write a letter.
Before he was with Lin Yuxun, Cheng Hao liked to read Lin Yuxun's letters and write letters to Lin Yuxun. Now that they are together, he is even more interested in this matter.
Even the reply letters that he used to feel he didn't know how to write, he now has a lot to write... In every letter, he would praise Lin Yuxun.
"My dear, I haven't seen you for half a month. I miss you so much now..." Cheng Hao wrote the letter in a fluent manner. After a while, he wrote a page, then turned to the next page and continued writing: "I played the new game you developed. It's very fun. You are really the smartest person I have ever met..."
Cheng Hao would write a letter every day, mark the date on it, put it in an envelope, and mail it once a week... Originally, he wanted to mail it every day, but the postage was not cheap, so he decided to be frugal.
On this day, Cheng Hao, who had received his salary, went to the post office to mail a letter, and by the way, sent his salary check to Lin Yuxun - since they had decided to be together, the salary should be handed over.
Cheng Hao had always envied his coach for having someone to hand over his salary to, and now he finally had one...
Many salaries here are paid weekly, of course there are also those paid every two weeks or once a month. Basically, the lower the level, the more frequently the salary is paid.
Cheng Hao's salary is paid once a week, so he just sends it out every time he goes to mail a letter.
After going to the post office, Cheng Hao found a place to buy some snacks before returning to the company.
Claude has been really busy lately, so every week when he goes out, he will buy some snacks for him. Of course, he can't give them to him all at once, otherwise he will eat them all at once. Cheng Hao usually gives them to him slowly, giving him two things a day, so that he can be happy once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
Time passed quickly and the WBA competition began.
Cheng Hao and Old George packed up their things and took Claude to the competition venue.
There are many boxers participating in the WBA competition, not only from the United States, but also from other countries, and these boxers are basically very famous.
Claude was particularly insignificant in the eyes of these people.
Especially when he is in his normal state, he is actually a bit dull and not scary at all - who would be afraid of a black man who plays video games all day and makes as much noise as a child when he is unhappy?
In comparison, Cheng Hao was very eye-catching. Many people knew him and some even came over to say hello.
However, most of these boxers came to Cheng Hao to laugh at him. Even if they didn't mock Cheng Hao, there was always a gloating look in their eyes.
Cheng Hao was no longer surprised by this. Most boxers would not hide their emotions. If they liked someone, they liked him; if they hated someone, they hated him. They expressed it clearly. Those people did not like him, and he did not like those people either - they were all competitors, and it would be too fake if they loved each other.
Cheng Hao was not angry, but Old George was very angry, but he did not lose his temper - he still knew the seriousness of the matter.
In such a competition, some famous boxers do not need to compete at the beginning and can directly enter the finals. But Claude is different. He has a competition from the beginning.
On the day of the game, Cheng Hao and Old George brought Claude to the gymnasium where the game was held early and went to the lounge to rest.
"Claude, do you still remember what to do in the game later?" Cheng Hao asked Claude.
Claude nodded and carefully recited the precautions that Cheng Hao taught him. After reciting, he looked at Cheng Hao as if he was waiting for a reward.
"Great! That's right!" Cheng Hao praised him and said, "Play well in the game later. If you win, you won't have to practice today and can play games all day."
"Really?" Claude was very excited and smiled brightly.
"Of course it's true." Cheng Hao said.
Claude suddenly became determined to win: "I will definitely win later! I want to play games!"
"You? You dare to say you will win?" Someone next to him suddenly sneered.
Claude frowned and looked over, somewhat dissatisfied: "I can win!"
"Looking at the way you looked just now, are you mentally ill? How can you possibly win like this?" The man who spoke was also a boxer. He looked at Claude with disdain. "If you can win, I'll yell 'I'm an idiot' right here three times!"
Cheng Hao: "..." Why is this guy so hard on himself?
Claude asked blankly, "Why would I ask you to yell like that?"
"So what do you want?" the man asked Claude.
Claude said, "I want money!" Claude's understanding of money was better than Danny's. At least he always knew that food, clothing, and entertainment all required money to buy, so he always asked Arabella for pocket money.
"That's it, if you win, I'll give you two hundred dollars, and if you lose, how about you give me two hundred dollars?" said the man who provoked Claude.
"Okay." Claude nodded seriously.
Seeing Claude like this, the man burst into laughter and turned to the people around him and said, "How interesting! Someone with a mental disorder actually came to participate in the competition... and became my opponent!"
Cheng Hao looked at the man in surprise.
It turns out that this man is Claude's opponent... He probably came here specifically to investigate the enemy situation, but when he saw Claude's childish behavior, he felt that Claude was not to be feared.
Cheng Hao suddenly felt a little sympathetic to this person who was very happy and laughing loudly with others because he thought he would win.
Anyone who underestimates Claude will be in trouble!
