Carpenter wasn't the only one who thought Cheng Hao would lose badly.
In fact, all the audience thought that Cheng Hao would lose badly, except for a very few people who saw that Cheng Hao had been doing well recently and thought that Cheng Hao might create another miracle.
"Poor Cheng, you must be careful!"
"Carpenter, knock this damn yellow guy down!"
"Go Carpenter!"
"Carpenter you are the most powerful."
…
Cheng Hao and Carpenter walked onto the stage amidst such sounds.
There are quite a few boxers on Old George's side, many of whom are part-time and come here to box as amateurs.
After all, the income here is not high.
Of course, there are also people like the late Gerard who make a living entirely by boxing, but people like that usually live in poverty.
They can't find a job or don't want to work, so they come to boxing. Then they spend all the money they earn the next day, or even spend it on women that night...
But Carpenter was different.
Not only did he make his money entirely from boxing, he also made a lot of money from boxing. Cheng Hao knew that he had a house in a nearby working-class community and he also had a Ford car.
This makes it always convenient for him to come and go.
He is not on the same level as other boxers.
After Cheng Hao came to the ring, he felt a deep sense of oppression.
Carpenter was like a lion full of strength, ready to pounce on someone at any time. Being stared at by him, Cheng Hao felt the hairs on his body stand up and began to tremble from the bottom of his heart.
Not out of fear, but out of excitement.
Fighting against a strong opponent made him extremely excited. Cheng Hao told himself over and over again: "I will win, I will definitely win, I am the best boxer."
He once again entered that state of selflessness, fearless.
Carpenter moved his shoulders, stretched his shoulder muscles, and then jumped lightly to warm up... When the game started, he immediately rushed towards Cheng Hao, as fast as a cheetah.
Not long after the fight started, Cheng Hao was knocked out and hit the ropes.
Carpenter weighs nearly 100 kilograms, and Cheng Hao has gained a little weight recently, but is still less than 70 kilograms.
Moreover, Cheng Hao has skills, but Carpenter does too. In fact, Carpenter's actual combat skills are not inferior to Cheng Hao's.
Cheng Hao lived to be 28 years old in his previous life, while Carpenter was already in his thirties!
The shot hit the target, and the audience's cheers and curses resounded throughout the bar. At this time, Cheng Hao stood up.
Someone encouraged Cheng Hao: "Cheng, come on! You are the best!"
"Stand up and beat him like before!"
"If you win, I'll buy you burgers! Ten!"
…
Of course, more people were cheering for Carpenter: "Carpenter, you are the best!"
"Beat that Oriental guy!"
"I want to kiss your muscles, darling!"
"Victory will definitely belong to you!"
"Children shouldn't be competing. Knock him down!"
…
Amidst such cheers, Carpenter did not raise his hands to celebrate. Instead, he looked at Cheng Hao warily - Cheng Hao got up.
Not only that, Cheng Hao rushed towards Carpenter again.
"You're great!" Carpenter said, and then knocked Cheng Hao down again.
In a formal match, if someone has fallen down, the opponent cannot continue to fight, but in a boxing ring like this, the referee does not prohibit such things.
But Carpenter didn't do that.
He waited for Cheng Hao to stand up, and then continued fighting.
He knocked Cheng Hao down again.
This time he hit Cheng Hao in the face and grazed his nose, but Cheng Hao still stood up.
Carpenter looked at Cheng Hao in surprise and became more alert.
Cheng Hao launched another attack.
He was knocked down again.
When Cheng Hao was knocked down for the first few times, everyone cheered for Carpenter: "Carpenter, you are awesome!"
"Well fought, Carpenter!"
“How cool!”
…
But when Cheng Hao got up again and again, the audience stopped cheering for Carpenter and fell silent.
Later...
When Cheng Hao fell to the edge of the ropes, someone cheered him on: "Cheng, come on!"
"Stand up! You can do it!"
“You’re great!”
…
Cheng Hao didn't hear these sounds. He just stood up again, looked at his opponent, and analyzed Carpenter's attack.
Blood started flowing from his nose, and after he wiped it, his entire face was covered in blood, and his body was also bruised. But at this time, his mind did not feel the pain. He was detached and calmly observed Carpenter's weaknesses.
In such battles, he became more and more familiar with Carpenter.
Cheng Hao rushed forward again, but this time, he was not knocked away by Carpenter as soon as he got close. He even punched Carpenter in the face.
"Shit!" Carpenter cursed and knocked Cheng Hao down again.
At the same time, the audience cheered in unison, and the huge sound waves seemed to be about to blow the roof off.
But the cheers weren't for Carpenter.
"Cheng, that's awesome!"
"come on!"
"Even though I bet on Carpenter, I hope you win!"
…
Some viewers even had tears in their eyes.
They clearly couldn't win, but they kept getting up again and again... Cheng Hao moved them: "Cheng! Come on!"
Cheng Hao got up again as expected.
He got hit many times, but he was a skilled boxer after all. His skills were not limited to hitting people. In fact, his skill in taking a beating was not inferior to others.
Every time Carpenter's attack came close, he would dodge his vital points, so he was not actually hit that badly by Carpenter.
In addition, when he fell, he knew how to use his feet to reduce the impact, and he knew how to fall so as not to be seriously injured.
He looked miserable, but his wounds were just flesh wounds.
This time, Cheng Hao rushed forward and exchanged several moves with Carpenter before being knocked down.
No, he didn't fall down, he fell on the ropes and quickly stood up.
He rushed at Carpenter again.
The audience in the audience became even more excited.
Old George stood at the door of the lounge, his eyes very bright.
He arranged for Cheng Hao and Carpenter to fight today in order to give Cheng Hao some setbacks.
In the previous competitions, Cheng Hao won every time because of his arrangements. Everything went so smoothly that Cheng Hao became a little too confident. Such a person may not be able to bear a sudden small setback in a real competition and end up in a crushing defeat.
For a boxer to grow, he needs to accept failure appropriately.
So, he found Carpenter and wanted to let Cheng Hao know how big the gap was between him and a real boxer.
He knew Cheng Hao would fail.
But he could never have imagined that even after being knocked down again and again, Cheng Hao could still get up.
It would have been fine if Cheng Hao could just get up, but he was able to actually hit Carpenter!
Old George's heart began to beat "bang, bang, bang".
He used to think that Cheng Hao would shine in the arena, but that was all. But now... he felt that the gold belt and gold gloves that were once out of his reach were waving at him.
"That guy is hitting Cheng!" Claude muttered to himself, "Cheng is injured... How could he hit Cheng? He should stop..."
"Shut up!" Old George glared at Claude, and couldn't help thinking, if Cheng Hao could have Claude's strength... Well, he shouldn't think too much. If such a good thing really happened, if such a person really appeared, all boxers in the future would not be able to help crying.
"But... he's fighting Cheng..." Claude's speech was unclear.
"They are playing a game, it's a game! You just watch from the side! Don't talk too much!" said Old George. He had previously told Claude in detail what the game was about, but with Claude's IQ... he was afraid that Claude would forget it again.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Claude said, watching eagerly from the side without saying anything.
Old George was excited about Cheng Hao's outstanding performance, but Carpenter was already regretting it at this time.
He sees Cheng Hao's growth more clearly than anyone else.
He came to the game today because George Sr. called him.
He promised Old George that he would have a good match with Cheng Hao, and also promised Old George not to hurt Cheng Hao.
Because of this, he did not really use force against Cheng Hao and allowed Cheng Hao to get up again and again.
Then he discovered that Cheng Hao, whom he had not seen for more than half a month, was much stronger than he was half a month ago. That would have been fine, but in this game, Cheng Hao had grown a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Are all the young people nowadays so capable?
No, it’s not that the young people nowadays are so talented, but that Cheng Hao is too talented.
His growth rate is extremely fast and amazing.
Carpenter knew that he was too old to keep fighting, and he had wanted to retire a long time ago, but he didn't know anything else except boxing, so he planned to become a boxing agent and make a living from it.
He is always on the lookout for good fighters.
Cheng Hao was the boxer he had his eyes on, but at that time he didn't think much of Cheng Hao, so after Cheng Hao made a request that made him uncomfortable, he gave up on Cheng Hao.
But now, he regrets it!
Cheng Hao is much better than he thought!
If he had signed Cheng Hao half a month ago, he would have had a very good boxer in the future!
But he didn't sign!
He didn't sign Cheng Hao! So in the end, George got the deal!
Carpenter was extremely depressed and looked at Cheng Hao with a somewhat unfriendly look, and then Cheng Hao punched him in the eye.
"Damn it!" Carpenter beat Cheng Hao out again.
Cheng Hao got up again.
The moment Cheng Hao got up, the audience cheered again, but the cheers were still not for Carpenter, but for Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao's never-give-up spirit makes people want to applaud him.
Carpenter felt even more frustrated.
He also felt a bit awful – he was tired!
His battle with Cheng Hao had lasted for a long time, and although he was in good physical condition, he was also tired.
I don’t know how Cheng Hao manages to get up again and again... Young people have great energy!
While Carpenter was thinking about things, Cheng Hao had already rushed up and fought with him several times.
Of course... Cheng Hao was knocked down again.
But he got up again.
Carpenter: “…”
Carpenter felt that he couldn't stand it anymore. This endless feeling was really not good at all!
Is Cheng Hao planning to continue like this?!
After knocking Cheng Hao down again, Carpenter, who had previously stood by and waited for Cheng Hao to stand up, pounced on Cheng Hao and pinned him down: "Just admit defeat!"
Carpenter now desperately wanted this fight to end; he couldn't take it anymore.
Cheng Hao finally came out of his special state.
He couldn't escape Carpenter's suppression... Cheng Hao said, "I give up."
He is not someone who can't afford to lose. If he loses, he loses.
Carpenter breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hands.
The winner should be greeted with cheers.
However……
"Cheng, are you okay?"
"How are you, little cutie?"
"Carpenter, you are so rude!"
…
Carpenter: “…”
I'm boxing! Boxing! Don't you guys love to see me punching people in the face?
Cheng Hao was also surprised by this situation. At the same time, the severe pain all over his body and the hunger in his stomach also made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Cheng Hao said to the audience not far from him, right next to the ring: "I'm fine, just a little hungry."
"I'll buy you a burger! I bet on Carpenter to win, and I won!"
"I'll buy you a burger too, even though I lost the bet!"
"Here's your burger!"
…
Cheng Hao didn't know who stuffed a hamburger wrapped in aluminum foil to keep it warm into his hand. He took the hamburger and climbed down from the ring through the ropes next to the ring.
His posture was a bit awkward, but Carpenter was different. He jumped off the ring with great ease.
After jumping down, he turned around and looked at Cheng Hao, and said sourly: "Can you come down? Do you want me to help you?"
Cheng Hao said: "No need."
Cheng Hao had just finished speaking when he saw Claude coming.
Claude should be here to find him... Cheng Hao wanted Claude to help him, but what he didn't expect was that Claude didn't walk towards him, but walked towards Carpenter.
It would have been fine if he had just walked towards Carpenter, but he suddenly punched Carpenter in the nose.
If it was in the boxing ring, Carpenter would definitely be able to dodge such a punch, after all, he was nervous at that time.
But now he has left the ring. It would be fine if he had left the ring, but there are still audiences surrounding him!
Carpenter subconsciously turned his head when the fist came, but he failed to completely avoid the fist. The fist that was originally heading for his nose now landed on his face.
"Shit!" Carpenter was stunned.
The punch was so powerful that it sent him flying backwards, onto the spectators.
The people around him were also confused - who is this person? Why did he jump out and hit Carpenter?
Everyone was so shocked that no one even spoke for a moment.
"You hit Cheng, you are a bad guy." Claude explained the reason why he hit someone. In the bar that suddenly became quiet, everyone around him heard his words.
Cheng Hao: “…”
Carpenter: “…”
Old George who came after him: "..."
"Hahahahaha!" An audience member laughed and slapped Claude on the shoulder: "Good job, young man."
The audience around suddenly laughed. They had just watched a wonderful game, and now... they were also happy to see such a conflict.
However, although the audience was amused, Carpenter was very unhappy. Cheng Hao and Old George quickly apologized: "Sorry, Carpenter, he's a little bit special."
The two of them surrounded Carpenter and went into the lounge, with Claude following behind stupidly.
Old George, who had seen Cheng Hao shine so brightly before and had a little more hope for Claude, was now extremely disappointed. He felt that he was really overthinking it - he must be crazy to think that Claude might be able to shine on the court like Cheng Hao.
I hope this guy doesn't cause him any trouble!
