Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

Opponent threw 155 punches, hitting Link's chest and abdomen 12 times, and his head once.

Link failed to knock down his opponent in the first round.

In the second round, Link once again utilized Quick Fist to attack his opponent's defense, hitting the opponent's head five times during this round, causing the opponent to fall once, with a swollen left eyebrow arch and bleeding nostrils.

The opponent also hit Link's jaw once, luckily he dodged quickly, leaning back as the fist came crashing down; otherwise, his jaw would have been shattered by the heavy punch.

Although he dodged, it was still the most severe injury he had sustained since his debut.

In the third round, Link quickly adjusted his condition and continued to attack the opponent's defense with Jab, hitting up and down, left to right. At the 96th second of the third round, he delivered three consecutive heavy punches to the opponent's forehead and left eyebrow arch.

This caused the opponent to fall again, with uncontrollable bleeding from the eyebrow arch.

The referee counted to six as the opponent grabbed the ropes to stand up and continue the fight.

Seeing that the third round was about to end, Link didn't want to give his opponent a chance to recover. Taking advantage of his opponent's injured brow, with blood flowing into his eyes blurring his vision, he launched an attack from the right side, attempting to strike the wound.

At the 109th second, he landed another heavy punch on the opponent's forehead, causing the opponent to fall to the ground again.

Alexander Povetkin showed great resilience and strong resistance to being hit. He got up after seven seconds, ready to continue the fight.

Both parties exchanged several more blows.

The third round ended.

Link and Povetkin returned to their corners to tend to their wounds.

As the fourth round started, Link pressed his advantage, risking being hit by returning punches, delivering a precise and fierce Jab to the opponent's left eyebrow arch once again.

Povetkin's eyebrow arch suffered multiple heavy hits, the wound widened, and half of his face was covered with blood mixed with sweat, flowing from his face to his chest, grotesque and vision severely impaired.

Link initiated a barrage mode, pushing his opponent back to the corner, and using rope tactics, hit five consecutive punches to the opponent's abdomen and three punches to the opponent's forehead and cheek, causing blood to spatter, and Povetkin's eyes grew dazed, his body starting to sway.

Before Link could continue throwing punches, the referee rushed over, protecting Povetkin's head with both hands, and called a halt to the match.

Link stepped back with his fists raised.

After examining Povetkin's injuries, the referee deemed his condition unsuitable to continue the fight. Also, having been knocked down three times by Link, severely injured and a notch below in performance, continuing the fight was deemed pointless.

After discussing with Povetkin's coach, the referee then stopped the match and declared Link the winner.

"How does that feel?"

In the front spectator seats, Big Klitschko withdrew his gaze and turned to his brother Vladimir Klitschko.

Little Klitschko, observing Link in the boxing ring, said, "He's a tough guy, good technique, his speed surpasses top Middleweight boxers, his reaction speed is extremely fast, Alexander could hardly hit his head if it weren't for the voluntary exchange of punches, and his heavy punches are among the top in Heavyweight Boxing Champions."

Upon saying this, Little Klitschko paused, shook his head sighing, "Overall, very strong, he's a tough opponent."

Big Klitschko nodded, having first heard of Link in 2008, when Link was still a Golden Gloves Tournament champion, challenging them from afar.

However, seeing that Link was a Super Middleweight, he didn't pay much attention.

Later, as Link entered professional boxing, ushering in an era of quick matches in the boxing ring, creating a huge sensation, he couldn't help but notice this formidable colleague.

Over the subsequent years, Link rose like a giant star, dominating from Super Middleweight champion, exclusively reigning over Light Heavyweight, to his celebrity status in the music industry, the world's top playboy, billionaire, Olympic champion, Hollywood superstar, and so on.

Link-related news was never-ending, even while living in Ukraine, he often saw news about Link.

Previously, he had regarded Link as a colleague rather than a competitor, not believing that a Super Middleweight boxer had a chance to fight him.

Since last year when Link moved up to Heavyweight, he realized the likelihood of encountering Link was gradually increasing.

At that point, he, his brother Little Klitschko, and their coaching team started seriously studying Link, discussing how to defeat him.

After thorough research, he had to admit, despite some flamboyance and showiness, Link truly was a formidable boxer, with good technique, strength, speed, defense, tactics... all well-balanced.

For them, besides height and reach, Link had almost no weaknesses.

Having watched the match between Link and Povetkin live, he was more convinced of his previous assessment.

Link was not only formidable but also ruthless, specifically targeting the opponent's wounds, causing bloodshed, utterly unlike the rumors: Link being a gentleman inexperienced in big scenes, afraid of blood.

Facing such a strong and mentally stable opponent, Big Klitschko knew even if they could defeat Link, it would likely be a pyrrhic victory.

On the boxing ring, Link watched Povetkin being assisted down from the stage, exhaling. In previous matches against opponents, he managed to have them lie down for 10 seconds unable to stand, ending the match in a seemingly violent but minimally harmful way.
