He was a black man in his thirties.
He has very thick lips and a strong body. Although he is wearing a suit, he still gives people a fierce feeling, as if he is a beast that will eat people at any time.
Cheng Hao knew this man. He was Eustace Merton, a professional boxer signed by OC Company. He had held the boxing championship belt for several years. Although he participated in fewer competitions now, he was still well-known in the boxing world.
At the same time, he was also the boxer that Old George had trained before.
Old George doesn't like to talk about the past, but Cheng Hao also knows something about this person.
When George Sr. was young, he was a boxer, but he had average talent, so he later changed his career and became a boxing agent.
He first worked as an agent for a few friends, and later found a child and trained him with great care.
That child is Eustace Merton.
But later, a conflict arose between the two, and the man in front of him betrayed Old George. Old George was even framed by OC Company and sent to prison.
One of the charges was blackmail, saying he had blackmailed Eustace.
So, old George had a lot of videotapes of boxers, but nothing of Eustace.
However, Cheng Hao had seen a video of Eustace boxing at Gibbs's place, and Gibbs had also mentioned that the conflict between Eustace and old George was mainly because old George was too strict with Eustace.
Eustace was dug out from the streets by Old George. At that time, Eustace was only eleven years old, knew nothing and had many bad habits... Old George set a lot of rules for him and forced him to train for many years.
Eustace wanted to become a professional boxer early and make money early, but old George did not agree. Of course, Eustace became famous later, and it was at that time that the two of them had a big conflict.
Boxing is much more popular in the United States than in other countries. Those boxing matches are like the talent shows in the domestic entertainment industry decades later.
People who are not interested may not pay attention, but those who are interested are willing to chase the boxer everywhere, pay money for the boxer, and even women take the initiative to approach him.
After Eustace became famous, he was pursued in various ways. He indulged in enjoyment and women, and squandered all the money he earned.
Old George was not stingy with his money, but unlike those around him who spent whatever they had, he was a saver. Seeing Eustace like this, he had suggested several times that he save more and even offered to help him manage his money.
Old George's decision was undoubtedly wrong.
He made this suggestion because he treated Eustace as his own family member, but to Eustace, it was clear that Old George was trying to cheat him of his money.
He finally chose to betray Old George and worked together with OC Company to cheat Old George.
Gibbs mentioned that old George hated this man.
After spending the past two years with Old George, Cheng Hao discovered that Old George is definitely a qualified agent.
He may not be the best, but honestly, he's pretty good.
At least some agents try to find ways to cheat boxers out of their money, but George Sr. has no such idea at all.
Now he has met Old George’s enemy... Cheng Hao stood behind Old George and patted his trembling arm.
Old George's hands finally stopped shaking.
At this time, Eustace walked towards them: "Old George, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Old George gritted his teeth.
"I didn't expect you to be a boxing agent again. I didn't expect that someone like you who controls and blackmails boxers can actually find boxers again." Eustace said.
Old George's face turned pale: "I never thought that a despicable villain like you could get away with it for so long!"
Eustace sneered, looked at Old George with disdain, and then looked at Cheng Hao: "Violent boy, right? You should know OC Company? It's the best boxing agency in the country. Almost all professional boxing matches have our investment. You are welcome to come to us."
"Thank you, but no thanks." Cheng Hao said.
Cheng Hao knew something about OC Company.
The boxing profession was controlled by gangsters decades ago. Although the situation has improved a lot decades later, there are still many companies related to gangs.
This OC company is one of them.
There are even rumors that OC and other companies will jointly control the games and promote the fighters they want.
However, the OC company's most glorious period was in the 1960s and 1970s. Later, as information flow became increasingly smooth, they were unable to do many things. And then...
In the mid to late 1980s, the company collapsed, and not only that, several of their boxers were implicated in scandals and ended up in jail.
Cheng Hao has no intention of having anything to do with this company.
More importantly, although the person in front of him said nice things, in fact, OC Company is no longer that powerful at this moment.
After Cheng Hao refused, he clearly felt that Old George relaxed a little.
Eustace smiled and said, "If you don't agree now, you will agree later."
Eustace smiled and left after he finished speaking. Soon, a group of people came up and took him to a box.
Cheng Hao, Old George and others also have their own private rooms.
Old George was still trying to control his anger outside, but once he entered the box, he could no longer control himself: "Damn it! Damn it!"
"Old George, don't be angry..." Cheng Hao tried to comfort Old George.
Old George heard Cheng Hao's soothing words, but suddenly looked at Cheng Hao: "Cheng, you can sign with other companies, but don't sign with OC!"
"Old George, I won't sign with any other company." Cheng Hao said with a smile, "Aren't you going to sign with me?"
"Thank you... I will give you very favorable signing terms, I promise." said Old George.
"Okay." Cheng Hao said.
Old George took a deep breath, but it was obvious that he couldn't calm down the anger in his heart. He picked up the glass of wine next to him and drank it in one gulp.
Old George usually talks a lot and is very irritable, but today he said nothing. Instead, he drank one glass after another... But after he drank a few, he stopped: "I can't drink... I still have to work."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Hao and said, "Cheng Hao, you are very strong and awesome. I believe you can beat him, for sure!"
"Yes, of course you can." Cheng Hao said.
Old George covered his face and let go after a while. Cheng Hao noticed that his palms were a little wet.
"Because of him, I almost lost everything. I have always been very good to him..." Old George muttered to himself.
Cheng Hao said: "Old George, I will be able to defeat him sooner or later. Even Claude is very strong. You don't have to worry at all."
Old George's expression finally improved, and he subconsciously looked at Claude.
Old George ordered some food. Claude was eating heartily. Seeing Old George looking over, he handed him a piece of meat and said, "Old George, do you want some?"
A lot had just happened, but there was no doubt that he knew nothing about it.
Old George couldn't help feeling upset.
But soon I felt that I shouldn't be depressed.
Because Claude... apart from some intellectual issues, his performance in other aspects is very good.
From the very beginning, Claude's physical condition was better than Cheng Hao's. Now he is a little over 1.7 meters tall and weighs more than 190 kilograms. He is very strong and can easily knock away a sandbag weighing hundreds of kilograms with one punch.
Cheng Hao knew that in the original history, Claude did not appear on the court until 1985, and something happened in 1986... But this time, he could actually play now.
However, old George plans to let him play slowly and use him as a trump card.
Claude's growth rate is much faster than Cheng Hao expected.
By the way, the food here is really delicious... Cheng Hao walked over to Claude and took some food to eat.
Old George looked at the two people who were eating happily in silence. He didn't dare to drink anymore and took a roasted chicken leg to eat.
After eating, I felt a little better.
There were some unknown boxers competing in the ring, which was the legendary warm-up, and the match between Cheng Hao and Jim was scheduled to be the last.
But now, they also have to make preparations.
Old George brought Cheng Hao to where the boxers were, and here they met Eustace again.
Eustace stood with Cheng Hao's opponent. Seeing them, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm really looking forward to the next game."
Old George's mood has become much more stable: "I am also looking forward to the next game."
Eustace laughed sarcastically when he heard Old George say this. "Old George, you don't think he can beat Jim, do you? A yellow man?"
"Cheng is the best boxer!" said Old George.
Eustace chuckled. "I'll wait and see."
Eustace left. Old George frowned and looked at Cheng Hao worriedly: "Cheng, you have to be careful later."
"I know...Old George, if the situation is not right, I will admit defeat." Cheng Hao said.
That Jim might be related to Eustace... After the mad cow incident, Cheng Hao learned to be cautious.
"I'll have Claude wait by the side," Old George said with a smile.
After weighing in, Cheng Hao walked onto the ring.
The gold belt Jim won before was not in the heavyweight category, but he did not maintain a good figure. Now he is very fat and weighs almost the same as Cheng Hao.
He may have been lacking exercise in recent years.
But Cheng Hao didn't dare to be careless at all.
When he died in his previous life, he was much younger than Jim is now. His strength at that time was not necessarily comparable to Jim's, and his strength now is still not as good as his peak period in his previous life.
Standing on the ring and looking at Jim opposite him, Cheng Hao slowly entered a special state.
Lin Yuxun and Galton had already arrived here.
Galton bought tickets for himself and Lin Yuxun. After entering, he asked for a private room and ordered a lot of food without hesitation.
When Lin Yuxun saw the food on the table, he thought of Cheng Hao. He ate a little and watched the boxing match with Galton.
They both had watched many games before, so they had no interest in such a warm-up game. Fortunately, Cheng Hao came on the court.
Galton said: "I've seen Jim's games before. He's very strong. I wonder if Cheng Hao can beat him."
Lin Yuxun said: "Cheng Hao will definitely win!"
Galton was a little surprised, and then he saw Lin Yu coming out of the box.
Cheng Hao is not well-known in other cities, but many people in this city already know him. As soon as he came on the court, someone shouted, "Violent boy!"
"Rampage boy! Come on!"
Of course, there were many people who knew Jim: "Jim, knock that yellow guy down!"
"Go ahead Jim!"
Various sounds mixed together, and the scene was very lively.
Lin Yuxun came out of the box and heard someone calling "Jim's" name. He shouted Cheng Hao's name without hesitation: "Cheng! Cheng! You are the strongest!"
Galton: “…”
Galton has been observing Lin Yuxun these days.
Lin Yuxun usually seems to have nothing to like except studying, and he is indifferent to everything. There are always many flatterers around him, but Lin Yuxun is never like that.
He thought this was just a boring academic.
If it weren't for Cheng Hao, he would never have invited Lin Yuxun to watch the game together... When he was cheering, there was a person next to him reading a book, which was really a downer.
As a result... Cheng Hao had just come on stage and was still reserved and didn't want to shout anything, but Lin Yuxun had already started shouting.
Galton took a deep breath, rushed forward and started shouting.
