Not only did Old George give Arabella half his plate of bacon, he also drank his coffee without sugar.
Cheng Hao couldn't do what he did, and he couldn't bear to put more than a dozen sugar cubes in it like Arabella did, so he finally put three sugar cubes in it.
After the three of them had breakfast, Old George said to Cheng Hao, "Starting today, you'll be training here. Of course, it's still early, and you just had breakfast, so you can watch some TV first."
At that time, televisions were already available to the general public in the United States, so Beverly stayed at home watching TV every day.
But after Cheng Hao crossed over, he found that there was no TV in either the garage where he first lived or the attic where he lived now, so he had never watched TV.
There have been too few entertainment activities recently, and Cheng Hao is looking forward to watching TV. However, after being taken to the second floor by Old George, he finds that the TV Old George showed him was not what he imagined, but videotapes of various boxers fighting.
Old George collected various game videos, and these were the ones he showed Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao had watched a lot of such game videos in his previous life, but many of the videos here from Old George were things he had never seen before.
The most famous boxers before the 1980s were able to leave behind video footage for later generations to learn from, but as time went by, the vast majority of boxers lost even their names.
The more Cheng Hao looked, the more frightened he became.
In these images, he saw many unknown but very powerful boxers.
Boxing matches can easily cause casualties, so the rules have been changed many times. Some of the matches he sees in the video materials now are even more cruel than what he will see in the future.
Cheng Hao had watched for more than two hours without realizing it. Finally, Old George said, "That's enough... Come and train with me."
A boxer's daily training includes skipping rope, boxing, push-ups, etc. Cheng Hao used to do many of these trainings, but Old George has done some more trainings than he did before.
For example, there are sandbags here that you can hit.
Old George asked Cheng Hao to continue training in the same way until Cheng Hao could not hold on any longer. Then he asked Cheng Hao to stop. After Cheng Hao had rested for a while, he asked Cheng Hao to do another training.
This training lasted for several hours.
Cheng Hao has long been accustomed to giving his all, and he did not relax for a moment in this training.
When it was finally over, Old George showed some disappointment on his face: "Your strength is too weak, and your explosive power is not enough..."
"I... can continue training." Cheng Hao said as he collapsed on the ground. Old George must have wanted to test his limits, so he pushed him to the extreme.
"Yes, you can continue training." Old George said, "You are growing very fast. I originally thought that you could only play two or three games in my bar at most."
At the beginning, Old George didn't take Cheng Hao seriously at all.
There are many people who want to box, but not everyone can stand out in the ring.
Boxing requires training, but it also depends on talent.
People without talent are destined to go nowhere.
When Seth provoked Cheng Hao and Cheng Hao agreed, he felt that Cheng Hao probably would not come to fight again in the future.
In the end, Cheng Hao won.
He naturally paid more attention to Cheng Hao, and then he found that Cheng Hao's growth rate was unexpectedly fast.
However, when Carpenter approached Cheng Hao, he had not yet considered becoming Cheng Hao's boxing agent. Although Cheng Hao was outstanding at the time, he was only outstanding in a bar in a poor community. In the outside world, his strength was nothing.
But even so, he put some thought into arranging opponents for Cheng Hao. Every time he arranged an opponent for Cheng Hao, the opponent was slightly stronger than Cheng Hao's previous opponent, or about the same.
Then, he saw Cheng Hao growing at an astonishing rate and never losing.
He finally made up his mind.
Old George said, "Your training is over today. Go home and have a good rest tonight."
"Okay." Cheng Hao said.
Old George put his hands behind his back and went out with Cheng Hao. He was also going to the bar.
However, after returning home, Cheng Hao did not rest well as Old George requested.
That night, he once again went to a nearby school and repeated all the training he had done with old George before going home to sleep.
Although he won the world boxing championship, he was only the lightweight champion, not the best boxer.
In addition, for athletes, although skills are important, it is their physical fitness that allows them to make a living.
If he doesn't have good physical conditions, he won't be able to reach the top no matter how good his skills are.
He is already sixteen years old. It is a bit late to start training now. He needs to work harder.
The most fortunate thing for him now is that he has a strong recovery ability and can do more training than others.
On the way back, Cheng Hao felt a little pain every time he breathed in.
His body has been squeezed to the extreme.
But when he slowly returned home, the situation was much better. After he ate the midnight snack prepared by Lin Yuxun, he felt even less uncomfortable.
For the next few days, Cheng Hao trained with Old George, and in the blink of an eye, it was Tuesday again.
That morning, Cheng Hao ran to Old George's place as usual.
He ran as hard as he could, but when he arrived at Old George's house, he still didn't feel tired.
After undergoing high-intensity training, running is no longer a big deal for him.
The iron gate of Old George's yard was still closed, but Cheng Hao knew that as long as he called out softly from outside, Arabella would come to open the door.
However, today, there were two people outside the iron gate.
From a distance, Cheng Hao recognized one of them, it was Chester.
Although Chester took advantage of him last time, Cheng Hao didn't suffer any loss after all, so he didn't bear a grudge. Now when he saw Chester, he didn't think much about it, but when Chester saw him, he dodged to the side.
When he dodged... Cheng Hao suddenly found that Chester's face looked very bad, and his eyes were red and swollen.
The person next to Chester was not the two people who were always with Chester, but another young black man.
Cheng Hao felt that the young black man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name... Well, all black people look similar, so he really couldn't tell them apart.
I don't know what Chester and this black man are here for.
Normally, if they want to scout out a place to steal something, they wouldn't come in broad daylight, right?
Although Cheng Hao was confused, he was not afraid of the two people. When he reached the door, he called out "Arabella".
The chubby Arabella immediately twisted her body to open the door for Cheng Hao.
The door opened, and when Cheng Hao walked in, the black man who came with Chester suddenly squeezed in: "I... I want to see Mr. Connor."
Old George's surname is Connor. Many people call him Old George, but some people also respectfully call him Mr. Connor.
"What do you want from him?" Arabella looked at the man curiously.
"I want to learn boxing... I heard that I can learn boxing from him." said the man.
"He doesn't teach boxing," said Arabella.
Cheng Hao also knew that Old George would not teach people boxing casually.
He was betrayed by his own boxer and has been running a bar here for seven years. During these seven years, he has not signed any boxers or taught anyone how to box.
"Madam, I will try my best, please." said the black man.
The black man was not as tall as Cheng Hao, but he was quite big. However, now, the big black man covered his eyes with his hands and cried, "God, please..."
Arabella hesitated for a moment.
Cheng Hao looked at the man crying and felt that he looked more familiar.
At this time, old George came out.
"What happened?" asked Old George.
"George, someone wants to learn boxing from you!" Arabella pointed at the black man and said, "It's this guy."
Old George glanced at the man with tears on his face and said, "I haven't taught anyone boxing for a long time."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Hao again: "Why don't you come in?"
Cheng Hao was about to follow Old George in when Chester suddenly said, "You can teach him, why can't you teach my brother?"
Only then did Cheng Hao realize that the black man was Chester's brother.
Old George said, "I don't need to explain it to you, and he's too old."
"I can work very hard, really!" said the black man, looking at Old George seriously.
"There is never a shortage of hardworking people in this world." Old George said. He has seen many hardworking people, and Cheng Hao's level of hard work is beyond his imagination. Unfortunately, hard work does not guarantee success.
"Please!" The black man suddenly knelt down.
However, his behavior made Old George frown in dissatisfaction: "I told you to leave!"
"Claude..." Chester called out.
It was as if a flash of lightning had split the night sky, illuminating the earth... Cheng Hao suddenly remembered who the person in front of him was.
Black Bear Claude!
Claude the Black Bear was a boxer who left a name for himself in the United States in the 1980s.
He has a low IQ and is a bit stupid, but he is extremely strong. After he suddenly appeared, he started to rampage in the arena, defeated several very famous boxers, and even began to challenge the strongest boxer at that time.
At that time, many people were optimistic about him and thought he could win, but he failed and was eventually paralyzed by his opponent and never stood up again.
He was only a flash in the pan in the boxing world and not much information was left behind, but some boxers at the time highly respected him and felt that he was a natural born boxer.
Some even say that if he had received training since childhood instead of starting training when he was almost an adult, he might have become a boxing champion long ago!
Now, Claude was in front of him, kneeling before Old George.
