Taylor stood on the boxing ring, and everything around him felt extremely familiar and yet strange.
His opponent Sanders was several years younger than him, and they had never crossed paths before. When Taylor became the boxing champion, Sanders was still in middle school. Even before Taylor was suspended two years ago, Sanders was just a fledgling little figure in the boxing world.
But Taylor knew that Sanders was the type he was least willing to face.
Before the game, Taylor had watched all of Sanders' game videos and watched them many times. Sanders is worthy of the title of "trench". He has strong defensive ability and is also good at roaming and dodging. During defense and roaming and dodging, he will look for the opponent's gaps and then counterattack. If the opponent always maintains the With an impeccable posture and no gaps exposed for attack, Sanders will continue to roam and defend patiently, waiting for opportunities to arise.
Sanders' style of play can always make the game last for a longer number of rounds, but patience and care can make Sanders the ultimate winner. The longer the game lasts, the easier it is for the opponent to become impatient, and the greater the probability of loopholes. In many cases, Sanders only needs to seize one opportunity and deal a fatal blow to the opponent to win.
In terms of playing style, Sanders' style of play is quite restrained against Taylor. Sanders is like a shield, while Taylor is a sharp spear. This game is more like a contest between spear and shield.
"I'll beat you up!"Sanders waits for Taylor with a defiant eye, and might have made some nasty gestures if he hadn't been wearing a fist jacket.
The boos around him had already brought Taylor's mood to a low point, and Sanders's appearance made Taylor feel even more irritated.
For the first time in two years, Taylor stepped onto the boxing ring. What awaited him were boos from the audience, abuse from the audience, provocations from his opponents, and the fake ear model that mocked him!
Taylor had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was depressed, he felt very sad, and he even felt that he was very pitiful. The mixture of various negative emotions really made him numb, and he even wanted to escape. Boxing ring rush.
"Ding!" The bell finally rang to start the game. The referee stepped back sharply to avoid being accidentally injured by the boxer. This was a heavyweight match. If someone was accidentally brushed and touched by a boxer, he might have to go to the hospital and lie down for a whole day.
At the same time as he remembered the ringtone, Taylor lowered his head slightly and quickly entered a fighting state.
At the same time, a voice sounded from Taylor's ear.
"Kevin, come on!" Dai Li shouted loudly under the boxing ring.
The last step of the morale improvement manual was also completed. At this moment, Taylor suddenly felt refreshed, and the suppressed emotions disappeared in an instant.
"The game has started, I have to focus!" Although Taylor's morale has not changed, he has returned to a more normal state.
He looked at Sanders on the opposite side and moved his steps slightly, trying to find an opportunity to attack. However, it was this movement of steps that gave Taylor a strange feeling.
"My body seems to have become lighter, and my body seems to be full of strength." Taylor tried to use sliding steps to move again, and the smoothness from his legs could be felt.
"What's going on? Why do you have this strange feeling?" Taylor even found it difficult to adapt for a while.
However, Sanders on the opposite side hummed: "What are you waiting for? Come and hit me!"
Sanders had braces on his mouth and could not speak very clearly, and what he did was obviously provoking. From the beginning of the game, he was trying to provoke Taylor. He obviously planned to lure Taylor to attack as soon as possible. Consuming Taylor's energy.
Taylor subconsciously threw a punch. This punch did not exert any force, but was just to test Sanders's position when avoiding. Sanders also guessed that Taylor was testing and quickly dodged Taylor's punch.
"What's going on? The punch just now was completely different from the usual punches, but it gave me a very familiar feeling."
Taylor couldn't recall at the moment that this was exactly what it felt like to punch when he was young, more agile and more explosive. But this sense of familiarity gave him an inexplicable sense of self-confidence.
"My movements and punches seem to be different from usual. My physical condition seems to be very good today. I should be able to dodge better. Maybe I can try to attack!"
When Taylor thought of this, his steps instantly became flexible.
…
Taylor's footsteps began to move quickly, and his body began to sway from side to side.
"Is Taylor about to attack?" Sanders immediately prepared to defend.
Taylor's technical characteristics are not a secret. Let alone a professional boxer, many boxing fans are well aware of Taylor's technical characteristics.
Taylor is very flexible among heavyweight boxers. At his peak, Taylor could even be said to be the most flexible heavyweight boxer in the world, because his height and arm length are not an advantage in heavyweight boxing. To be more specific, His attack range is not wide enough and his opponent's arms are longer and will hit him first. Therefore, Taylor's body is very flexible and can quickly avoid the opponent's punch.
For Taylor, boxing is all about offense. He always moves forward, using his excellent dodge skills to avoid his opponent's punches, and then deliver fatal attacks to his opponent. Taylor always has a habit of lowering his head and turning his body sideways when moving forward. In addition, he is not tall, so the striking surface for his opponent will be very small, and when punching, it is easier to use dodge movements to dodge the opponent's attack.
At the same time, Taylor's forward speed will be very fast. His flexible footsteps and strong explosive power will allow him to suddenly start and use every opportunity to prevent his opponent from reacting in time. He has a lot of feints, and the shaking of his body and the movement of his steps can be very deceptive. Moreover, his punches are very consistent, and the various feints and feints are overwhelming. Many times, even the audience in the audience can clearly see the trajectory of Taylor's punches, but the opponents on the stage just can't resist.
"Perhaps he will use that move again, approaching quickly, using his jab to lure me into parrying, leaving me open. Then he will cover with a backhand straight punch, enter the attack range, and knock me down with a quick uppercut combo!" Sanders thought to himself.
This is Taylor's best attack method. Every step and every detail of the action has been clearly analyzed by people. When Taylor was at his peak, even though everyone knew that Taylor was going to attack like this, no one Can be defended.
"You are no longer the Taylor you were ten years ago!" Sanders sneered in his heart, and he began to retreat, keeping as much distance as possible from Taylor.
"Back off, swim away, don't make direct contact, and if you really can't escape, go up and hug him. I want to thank Highfield, it's so easy to deal with you!" Sanders thought to himself.
In the game two years ago, Highfield used this method to defeat Taylor, and that game also opened a new window for all boxers. It turned out that this was the best way to deal with Taylor.
As Sanders expected, Taylor made rapid advances and constantly used jabs to attack, forcing Sanders to have gaps in his defense.
"Back up, keep backing up, and walk around the ring!" Sanders continued to implement his tactics, but after just a few steps, Sanders discovered that something seemed wrong.
Unconsciously, Taylor made a few sliding steps and rushed to Sanders.
Taylor's progress was beyond Sanders' expectations!
"Why is he sliding so fast and so close to me!" Sanders secretly screamed something bad.
Taylor's fist was already out, and Sanders suddenly realized that it was too late to retreat.
"Go up and hug him!" Sanders' cerebellum sent instructions to his body. At the same time, a red thing was reflected in his pupils, getting bigger and bigger.
Those are boxing gloves, Taylor's boxing gloves!
"Bang!" A crisp voice sounded, but Sanders could no longer hear it. He only felt a buzzing in his head and a whistling sound like a whistle in his ears.
Sanders ducked backwards instinctively, and then there was another "bang".
Sanders felt his eyes go dark and there was no sound in his ears.
…
"The game begins! Neither side launched an offensive immediately. They were observing each other. Taylor punched. This was just a simple test." The commentator relaxed his mood slightly. He felt that at the beginning of the game, the two must still have a good relationship. They will continue to test each other and not get into a fight right away.
"Sanders is retreating, and he is maintaining a safe distance from Taylor. Sanders obviously knows Taylor's shortcomings. He chose a very smart play to maintain the distance between him and Taylor by constantly retreating. To consume Taylor’s energy. Once Taylor’s energy is exhausted, it’s time for Sanders to fight back!”
"Two years ago, Highfield taught us how to deal with Taylor, which is to constantly circle and consume. Now Sanders has used the same trick, and Taylor doesn't seem to have found the right way. He is still attacking. Just like two years ago, it looks like Taylor is in trouble today!"
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Taylor punched Sanders in the face on the ring. The next second, Sanders fell directly to the ground.
"What... happened? What happened just now? Why did Sanders fall?" The commentator looked at the boxing ring in shock.
…
"Taylor, you rapist, go back!"
"Sanders, come on, kill that bastard!"
"Knock him down quickly and make him regret coming here!"
There were such sounds all around, and James King couldn't help but turn his head and look behind him.
"It seems that many people believe that Sanders will win!" James King said with a hint of frivolity in his eyes.
Suddenly, the entire audience let out a burst of exclamation.
"oh… "
There was a hint of panic in this exclamation.
James King was slightly stunned. All his shouts stopped at this moment, and everyone around him looked surprised.
"What's wrong?" James King turned to look at the boxing ring, only to see Taylor standing there, and Sanders had fallen to the ground.
"KO? Sanders was KOed by Taylor? What happened?"
