Almighty Coach

Chapter 415 The Meaning of Steel

Hopkins stood where he was, shaking slightly involuntarily, and was hit in a vital part by Taylor's heavy punch. It was really rare for Hopkins not to faint immediately. With this degree of concussion, professional doctors would definitely recommend staying in the hospital for observation for a few days, but Hopkins was able to continue to stand on the ring.

Things are better for Taylor, but only better. Hopkins also hit him just now. Although he didn't fall down, he also caused some damage to him, but the tinnitus always stimulated his nerves, making it difficult for him to concentrate.

The referee looked at the two and signaled for the fight to continue. He is also an experienced referee. He has seen many cases where two fighters hurt each other and then returned to the center of the ring to start the fight again.

Taylor tentatively threw a jab, and Hopkins dodged quickly. His movements were still very agile, but at first glance he didn't want to look like he had just been knocked down and got up again.

However, on the sidelines, many boxing professionals shook their heads one after another. They could all see that Hopkins was no longer in the state before he fell down.

"Hopkins' dodge just now, although he avoided Taylor's jab and the dodge was very fast, but his movement range was not well controlled. His movement range was too large, far beyond Taylor's. The scope of the attack is unnecessary. It seems that the fall just now had a great impact on Hopkins."

"Of course, Hopkins was hit on the chin. If it were someone else, he would have passed out after being hit by Taylor, but Hopkins stood up."

"However, with Hopkins' current state, he may be on the verge of dying in this game!"

"Who says it's not! Heavyweight boxing is like this. Once you get knocked down for the first time, even if you get up and continue fighting, it's impossible to turn defeat into victory. If you continue, the disadvantage will only get bigger and bigger."

"Hopkins must also understand this to the end. I don't know why he is still persisting. If he continues to fight, he may be knocked down by Taylor for the second time, which will cause more damage. It is better to throw it away as soon as possible." Throw in the towel!"

...

On the boxing ring, Taylor kept probing and attacking. His style of play was very active, and in this way, he easily grasped the initiative on the field. Judging from the current situation, Hopkins is only reluctantly persisting, and it is only a matter of time for Hopkins to be knocked down for the second time.

"I don't want to lose! I want to become the strongest heavyweight boxing champion in the world!" This belief continued to sprout from Hopkins' heart, allowing him to continue to stand in the boxing ring.

Next to the boxing ring, Hopkins' coach couldn't bear to see what happened next.

In a heavyweight boxing match, falling down once means falling down a second time. Even if you stand up, it just creates a situation of ebb and flow, and the result of failure will not change. Therefore, in heavyweight competitions, it is often seen that after someone is knocked down, although they are conscious and emotional, they simply cannot get up again, waiting for the referee to count ten, because they know that even if they stand up, they can only stand up. It's just a futile struggle, the result will not change in any way, and the body may suffer secondary injuries.

"Professor Steel!" the coach repeated Hopkins' nickname to himself.

Everyone knows the nickname Hopkins, but few people know the true meaning of the nickname Hopkins. Hopkins is very smart, so he has the nickname "Professor". As for the "steel" in this nickname, most people think it refers to Hopkins' body. After all, Hopkins has a heavyweight The most perfect body, he is a natural heavyweight boxer, long-term exercise has made his body as hard as steel!

But the coach knew that the so-called steel did not refer to Hopkins' body, but his will, a will like steel, which was always indomitable!

"You may fall, but your will will not!"

...

"It's already like this, are you still doing unnecessary resistance? What a great boy!" Iris suddenly sighed.

Dai Li nodded in agreement: "That's right, the media's description of him as the ruler of the heavyweight boxing world in the future is not aimless. His skills are already at the top level of heavyweight boxing, and he still has Such tenacity, steely tenacity! Hopkins is simply a perfect athlete, but unfortunately, he met you and Taylor."

"Taylor is the kind of boxer with obvious advantages and equally obvious disadvantages, but his advantages are too 'excellent'. A boxer like Taylor will always be an exception and the only one that exists. Perhaps in the entire history of boxing There will only be one boxer like Taylor, and there will be no second one, so he is not representative, he can only represent himself." Iris said, pointing to Hopkins, and then commented:

"But Hopkins is different. What he represents is a direction of boxing development. Body, speed, offense, defense, awareness...while the overall balance is strong, all aspects are also very strong. I think in the future, this kind of Olympic The boxer who comes out will shine in the boxing world. He is the future of boxing!"

"Unexpectedly, you have such a high opinion of Hopkins!" Dai Li was a little surprised.

"If I were twenty years younger, I can't wait to coach an athlete like Hopkins. He is really perfect...well..." Iris's voice suddenly paused, and then he used a kind of He continued in a joyful tone: "Even if he is knocked to the ground by his opponent, this cannot conceal his perfection!"

Following Iris' words, on the boxing ring, Hopkins was knocked down by Taylor again, and this time, he could no longer get up.

...

On-screen, the referee grabbed Taylor's hand and held it up, announcing him the eventual winner.

In front of the TV, Highfield pressed the button of the remote control with a solemn expression and turned off the TV.

"Taylor won in the end!" Highfield's brother and manager crossed his legs, and then said, "Taylor's physical strength exceeded my expectations. I thought he could only fight five or six rounds, but the game failed. It wasn't over until the eighth round."

Highfield shook his head: "Actually, in the sixth round, the moment Taylor punched Hopkins in the jaw, the match was over. It was still Taylor's fist, no matter who lost the possibility of continuing to fight, Hopkins just relied on his own will to hold on for two more rounds."

"Hopkins is worthy of the tens of millions of appearance fees. If he persisted for two more rounds, he can insert a lot of commercials. The organizer will be very happy." The manager brother picked up the fruit from the table and gnawed on it. He took a sip, and then said: "I think Taylor will definitely challenge you again. You are the holder of the WBA heavyweight gold belt, and Taylor was the WBA heavyweight champion for three consecutive times, and That game that year, Taylor has always been brooding, so you have to prepare early."

Speaking of that game that year, Highfield couldn't help touching his ear that was bitten by Taylor, and then he said: "Taylor's recent state is very good, as can be seen from his winning streak. Moreover, he just defeated Hopkins and took away the gold belts of Hopkins WBO and IBF. Now Taylor is full of morale, and it is not a wise thing to fight Taylor now. Even if If you want to fight Taylor, you have to choose a suitable time, and I will fight him again when his condition is not very good, or when the right time, place and people are on my side."

"Then what are you going to do?" the agent brother asked.

"There are fifteen gold belt challengers in the WBA, why do I have to accept Taylor's challenge." Highfield smiled sinisterly: "First find a weaker challenger to fight, and fool this year's game! "
