After Old George introduced himself, Cheng Hao first came down from the stage, took off his jacket, leaving only his shorts, then put on his boxing gloves and went on stage again.
The wound on his abdomen had not healed yet and was wrapped with a bandage that Lin Yuxun had bought from somewhere. This was not noticeable, as it was very common for boxers to wear waist protectors.
After Cheng Hao came on stage, he first adjusted his boxing gloves.
Before he learned boxing, he thought watching other people’s boxing matches was just like playing house because someone would always fall down for no apparent reason. But when he really started practicing boxing, he realized that boxing was not that simple.
Even the function of boxing gloves is not what Cheng Hao once thought, just to avoid injuring the opponent. In fact, the main function of these gloves is to protect the boxer's hands.
A top boxer's punch is so powerful that the reaction force can even break the bones in his hand. It is impossible to do this without gloves.
In his previous life, Cheng Hao was in peak condition. He could easily knock an ordinary person weighing 200 pounds away with one punch. He could even crush a bowl for eating if he wasn't careful.
In such a situation, he didn't dare to hit anyone hard without wearing gloves.
Unfortunately, his current body has not experienced years of continuous training day after day, so he does not have that much strength.
But he will win.
He is the best boxer.
Cheng Hao tells himself this before every game.
After telling himself this, Cheng Hao seemed to be detached from the arena. He looked at Geral opposite him calmly without a trace of unnecessary emotion.
He saw Jellal slapping his chest and roaring at the audience around him, watched Jellal flex his muscles, watched Jellal giving him the middle finger, and his heart remained calm.
He also heard the audience talking very close to him, telling Jellal that they would bet on Jellal to beat the crap out of him... and he still felt nothing.
The loser will not be him.
Cheng Hao told himself this again and again, but in fact, everyone watching the game thought he would be the loser.
Although Gerard is now the weakest boxer on Old George's side, he was actually very strong in the past.
Even Gerard had made a great name for himself in such a black boxing arena.
He used to be extremely ruthless, always making boxing scenes very bloody. He even did something where, when arguing with someone, both parties agreed to fight using special boxing gloves equipped with small iron spikes.
The small iron spikes on the special boxing gloves are only the size of thumbtacks, so such a fight will not put the boxer's life in danger, but it will make the boxer bleed.
Such bloody scenes always make the audience excited and passionate. To put it bluntly, they are very entertaining, so much so that Gerard became famous in one battle.
At that time, Gerard did not just take a small share of the profits when he participated in the competition. He even asked for an appearance fee of several thousand yuan. If he used spiked gloves, it would be even more expensive.
But he later started smoking marijuana, drinking alcohol, and becoming addicted to women, and his health gradually deteriorated. Later, in a boxing match, he suffered an injury from which he could hardly recover, and he was no longer able to defeat his opponent.
By now, his body is no longer suitable for participating in the competition.
But if he doesn't compete, he won't have any money to spend... He has to compete.
In his current state, he would not be able to win against other boxers in good condition, but Cheng Hao did not look like a boxer at all.
When Cheng Hao came on stage, he looked like a little lamb that had walked into the wrong place.
Cheng Jinhao is tall and heavy, but when Cheng Hao came here, he had just been seriously injured. After that, Cheng Hao was in a state of "hunger", and now he weighs only about 120 kilograms.
He is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 120 kilograms. This figure is normal for a teenager, but he looks very thin in a boxing arena. That's fine, Cheng Hao still looks young.
The yellow race naturally looks young. Cheng Jinhao was well-raised in the past and is only sixteen years old... It is easy for everyone to see that he is a minor.
Not to mention that in the boxing arena, the yellow race has never been outstanding.
All the audience felt that Gerard, who always lost in the past, would definitely win after facing such a young boy.
They couldn't wait to see Cheng Hao being defeated by Jellal.
"Come on, Gerald, crush him to the ground!"
"Beat the little cutie until he cries!"
"Jellal, you can do it!"
…
Amidst the huge roar, the competition officially began.
Every muscle in Cheng Hao's body was tense.
Gerald looked at Cheng Hao with disdain and made an attacking gesture, and at this moment, Cheng Hao rushed towards him.
Gerald didn't expect Cheng Hao to be so fast. He swung his hand to attack, but Cheng Hao had already jab him in the face.
Before Cheng Hao traveled through time, boxing matches had already become a points system, where points could be scored by hitting certain parts of the opponent.
But if there was a chance to hit the opponent's vital point, Cheng Hao at that time would rather be hit by the opponent and score points, and still take action.
The "vital points" in his eyes are the facial nerve delta, the last ribs on both sides, and the heart.
Hitting these parts of the opponent can easily make the opponent lose resistance.
Previously, Chester and others came to Lin Yu's rented house to cause trouble. In order to establish his authority, Cheng Hao, who was still injured at the time, found someone to attack his vital points, and finally made that person vomit.
Now, he was attacking the delta of Jellal's facial nerves.
Gerald's head was knocked to one side by the blow, and his movements were a little slow. Cheng Hao followed up with two punches, hitting the same part again.
Gerald fell down and Cheng Hao stepped aside.
In Old George's bar, the shouting, cursing, and yelling suddenly disappeared. Everyone looked in shock at Cheng Hao, who was standing there, and Gerald, who was completely stunned and unable to get up.
Jellal actually lost, and lost so quickly?!
The game just started and it’s over?
There was silence in the audience for a moment.
At this time, Cheng Hao finally broke free from his special state.
His heart was beating very fast and his body was covered in sweat. Although the game lasted a short time, he was very tired.
And...very, very hungry.
Fortunately, his wound did not break apart... Perhaps his injury would heal faster than he thought.
Cheng Hao took a deep breath of the smoky air and walked towards Gerald, wanting to give him a hug.
That’s how it is on the court. No matter how fierce the fight is, you always have to express your friendship after it’s over.
Unfortunately, Jellal fainted and couldn't hug him.
Not only that, there was no cheering around. Most of the audience were cursing: "What the hell? Is Jellal useless? He was defeated so quickly?"
"Go to hell, waste!"
"Damn it, Jellal!"
…
These people were cursing angrily, and they were not just cursing Gerald. In fact, Cheng Hao was also cursed by them.
Cheng Hao didn't care. When he saw Gerald being carried away, he followed him down and walked towards Old George: "George, how much money can I get?"
"Have you ever learned boxing?" asked Old George.
"I told you, I'm a boxer," Cheng Hao said.
Old George took a drag on his cigarette and muttered, "The routine of a regular club..."
After mumbling, he asked someone to count the money.
Cheng Hao's match was the first one of the day, and many of the spectators had not arrived yet. In addition, these people had no interest in Gerald and Cheng Hao, so they were unwilling to place high bets. The total amount of bets was only more than 800 yuan.
Cheng Hao is still a boxer who doesn't get an appearance fee, he only gets a percentage...
Old George said, "I'll give you thirty-five dollars."
Cheng Hao said, "Thank you."
Although he said thank you, Cheng Hao still felt that the money was a bit too little.
He had never played a game and only earned a few dozen dollars in the end...
Of course, this was US dollars, and this was in 1980.
At this time, the purchasing power of the US dollar is still relatively strong. Cheng Hao learned about the prices through Cheng Jinhao's memories and the previous supermarket, and found that if converted, the purchasing power of one US dollar now is almost the same as the purchasing power of thirty RMB in China before he traveled through time.
If you calculate it this way, it is equivalent to him getting 1,000 RMB in 2020 for playing one game.
This amount of money was not much for him, but at least it freed him from the predicament of relying on Lin Yu for support.
Cheng Hao took the money and prepared to leave.
Old George said, "There's a game coming up soon. Don't you plan to stay and watch? Mad Bull will be here tonight."
Cheng Hao said, "Someone is waiting for me at home. I have to go back."
At this moment, two people were competing on the stage, and it was already half past eight.
He didn't want to go back too late, so he planned to leave early.
"Okay." Old George didn't stop Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao walked out with the money, but halfway through, he was stopped by a white man who was not young, had a very red face and a very big belly.
Most of the people in this bar are black, but there are still a few white people. After stopping Cheng Hao, this person said, "Little guy, you did a good job. I won a lot of money... Do you want something to drink? I'll treat you!"
Cheng Hao said, "I don't drink... Can you buy me a burger?"
He is really hungry now...
The man said, "Okay, I'll take you out to buy some. The burgers in the bar are too expensive!"
The man took Cheng Hao out of the bar and went straight to the burger shop next to the bar. He asked Cheng Hao again, "How many do you want?"
"Of course it's a little more." Cheng Hao said.
There were only two people who bet on Cheng Hao to win today, and this person was one of them, so he made a lot of money. At this time, he was very generous and said directly to the hamburger seller: "Give me ten hamburgers!"
Ten burgers were only three dollars, so he paid and went back to the bar.
Cheng Hao waited for a while and got ten hot hamburgers.
It was the first time he had seen such delicious food since he traveled through time… Cheng Hao took one out and took a bite.
This burger is made of chicken, but the chicken inside is not KFC fried chicken. However, it tastes okay... Cheng Hao ate while walking back. He ate six in one go and his stomach felt a little better.
Originally, Cheng Hao had planned to buy some delicious food to bring back to Lin Yuxun after he had the money, but now that he had the hamburger, there was no need for that... He went straight home.
From a distance, he saw the light coming from under the unsealed rolling door.
Lin Yuxun hasn't slept yet?
Cheng Hao took out the spare key Lin Yuxun gave him to open the door, and found that not only Lin Yuxun was not asleep, but Danny was also not asleep. Both of them were waiting for him.
Cheng Hao put the burger in Lin Yuxun's hand and said, "I brought you some delicious food!"
As he said this, he went to close the shutter.
This old metal rolling door made a loud noise whether it was opened or closed, so the landlord roared again: "Damn it, why are you going in and out so late at night? And my door! When are you going to fix it?!"
