The place of the competition was a bit far from home, so Cheng Hao and the others didn't go home for half a month.
George Sr. rented a house nearby as a place for them to live and exercise temporarily.
In fact, the vast majority of boxers going to the finals will go to a special training hall for training, but Claude's situation is very special. When he is with other boxers, he is very likely to be hurt by speech and other aspects. I gave up doing this and simply trained by myself.
And by doing this, Cheng Hao can also train with confidence without worrying about being looked at strangely by others.
When Cheng Hao started to do recovery training, Old George was very worried, lest Cheng Hao would cause irreparable damage to his body, but as time went by, he slowly let go of his heart, and even admired Cheng Hao Get up: "Cheng, you are really a person who can create miracles. Although your current state is not as good as your previous peak state, it is not bad."
"Yes." Cheng Hao smiled: "I'm still young, maybe I can continue to box in the future."
He will be twenty years old in a few months, much younger than Claude, and there are really infinite possibilities in the future!
"You have to pay attention to your body, don't hurt your body because of excessive exercise." Old George thought for a while, and persuaded with a sigh. He admired Cheng Hao's behavior, but he was also worried that Cheng Hao would be injured if he trained like this.
"I will." Cheng Hao said.
When Cheng Hao was talking to Old George, Claude had been training beside him, training and training, and he looked at Cheng Hao pitifully: "Cheng, when will I continue the game..."
"You want to compete?" Cheng Hao asked.
Claude nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I want to go to the game!"
"Why?" Cheng Hao asked, did Claude like the feeling of the game
Claude said: "You can play the game if you win!"
Cheng Hao: "..." This reason is very powerful!
When Cheng Hao and the others were exercising, more and more people in the boxing world knew about him and Claude.
His news has only passed a few months, and many people still know him, and now there is another Claude... When boxers chat, they will talk about him.
"That yellow boxer seems to have become a manager after he couldn't box, and he brought a black boxer with good strength to fight!"
"I've seen them, the black man is very strong."
"That black man's name is Claude. He defeated many people along the way. He is really powerful."
"Don't keep praising him, his opponents are not strong, and winning doesn't mean anything."
"The finals are the only ones to watch!"
…
Indeed, such a professional boxing match, the final is the most interesting!
The preliminaries TV station will only broadcast some of the matches after recording them, but the finals are different. During the finals, the TV station will broadcast the whole process live!
At the same time, tickets for the finals are also much more expensive than tickets for the preliminaries.
But even though the tickets are very expensive, many people come to watch. The poor in the United States are very poor, but the rich are really rich, and there is a huge middle class.
Most importantly, people here are more than happy to spend money on hobbies.
Galton was one of those who came to watch the final.
Although Cheng Hao stopped boxing, he would still watch boxing matches. After all, he liked boxing first, not Cheng Hao.
However, thinking that Cheng Hao could no longer punch, he was a little bored after all.
"If Cheng can still box, I think he will definitely get a place in this competition, and maybe even become the boxing champion." Galton said to the boxing enthusiasts around him.
Those boxing fans didn't take it seriously, and one of them said: "Galton, you have praised Cheng a little too much. Although he is very good, he is not that good."
Another person said: "Yes, Galton, you used to stay in Africa, and after you came to the United States, you watched mostly amateur matches, so you don't understand the situation... You must know that professional boxers are very strong, especially those who Boxing champion."
"Cheng is also very strong, you don't know, he has so much training..." Galton wanted to speak for Cheng Hao.
"All boxing champions have a lot of training, and the life of a boxing champion is inseparable from training." Those people disagree.
Galton was a little dissatisfied, but at this moment, a person sitting in the auditorium behind them suddenly asked, "Are you chatting? That yellow man?"
Galton said in surprise, "Yes! You like him too?"
The man said: "I haven't watched his fight live, and I don't know him well, but I like his boxer!"
"His boxer?" Galton was a little confused.
"Yes! His boxer! I came here very early and watched all the previous preliminaries. One of the boxers was brought by Cheng. He is so good! I like him very much!" The man said excitedly .
Galton didn't know about this at all before, so he quickly asked: "He came here? Who is the boxer he brought?" Didn't Cheng Hao become a boxing trainer? Why did you bring boxers to the game
"That boxer's name is Claude!" the man said.
It turned out to be Claude, Claude came to the game? Galton also knew Claude, and when he learned that people he knew would also participate in the competition, he was immediately happy: "It turned out to be Claude! It's really great!"
"You know Claude?" the man asked curiously.
"Yes, I know him, and I trained with him!" Galton said, "We trained with Cheng at that time!"
Galton also knew about Claude's intellectual problems, but he didn't say anything, but kept praising Cheng Hao: "Claude's training is all in charge of Cheng, and Cheng is more responsible than Claude. Much better!"
"No way?" That Claude fan was stunned.
"Really! Cheng is very powerful, and it is because he is so powerful that someone will attack him and try to harm him!" Galton said firmly.
The man exclaimed and began to ask questions.
Galton was talking endlessly, and seeing what he said was so sure, the people around him began to listen carefully.
Galton was very happy to be followed by a large group of people, and then thought of Lin Yuxun.
You can see Cheng Hao here, Lin Yuxun refused to come with him, and now he must be regretting it!
Lin Yuxun really doesn't know how to enjoy life. He only knows how to make money every day, which has no meaning at all!
When Galton thought this way, he only knew that Lin Yuxun, who was making money, was selling a computer game he had developed to a company that sold computers.
The game is very simple, that is, Xing Xing and Lianliankan. In addition, there are other software that he and his subordinates made together.
After the people from the computer company tried it out, they were very satisfied.
There is nothing in the current computer, and there is a clear direction for researching related things at this time, which is simply embarking on a road to heaven!
Lin Yuxun sold all these games and software, and the money he got was divided, and he invested all of the ones that belonged to him.
Cheng Hao said that computers will enter thousands of households in the future, and all his investments are in computer companies.
From companies that produce computer accessories to companies that develop computer software, he will not let go of any of them. He will pay more attention to the companies that Cheng Hao mentioned.
Even if the other party is his competitor.
He wishes he had more money.
Of course, he also wanted to see Cheng Hao.
Lin Yuxun didn't have time to watch all the finals live like Galton did, but he had already decided that if Claude could make it to the end, then he would go to Cheng Hao.
In order to have time to see Cheng Hao, he has to work harder now!
Cheng Hao didn't know about Lin Yuxun's situation. Right now, he was taking Claude with him, preparing to play Claude's first game since he entered the finals.
This game is a bit tricky.
In the previous preliminaries, although Claude met a few relatively strong boxers, they generally fought against professional boxers who were not too well-known. The final was different.
Forget it, I don't know if it was bad luck or someone deliberately arranged it. The first opponent Claude met was a boxer from Europe who had won the gold belt of the boxing champion. August is a white man with a height of 1.9 meters.
Auguste is very strong and has many fans. Some people even traveled thousands of miles from Europe to the United States to cheer for him. At the same time, there are many people in the United States who like him, and many people come to watch his games.
Most of these people, like Galton, did not watch the previous preliminaries and knew nothing about Claude. When they learned that their favorite boxer's opponent was an unknown black man, they immediately looked down upon him.
"August is going to fight a dirty black man!"
"America's boxers are bad. There are always a lot of black people in them!"
"Did they look down on August? They even arranged for him such an unknown opponent?"
"August should have played until the end!"
…
August's fans came to cheer for August with the national flag of the country where August was located, and the media even started interviewing August before he even got on the field. .
Cheng Hao had experienced such a scene in his previous life, but it was the first time he encountered it in this life.
He was quite used to seeing such a scene, but he was a little worried about the next game.
He was light in his previous life, and he would never be able to beat a heavyweight champion like August. Even in this life... when he was at his peak, he probably couldn't beat August.
He is still lacking in strength.
Claude is born with supernatural power. He is definitely comparable to August in terms of strength, and may even be stronger than August, but he is inexperienced, and Cheng Hao is worried that he will lose.
Cheng Hao was a little nervous, and Old George's face was also very ugly: "Damn it, someone must have played a trick, we actually bumped into August for the first time! He is the popular candidate for the boxing championship in this competition!"
Cheng Hao's expression was also a little dignified, but he was afraid that Claude would be nervous, so he didn't show it in front of Claude. Instead, he said: "Claude, come on, I believe you can win."
Claude didn't listen to Cheng Hao at all, just asked: "Cheng Hao Cheng Hao, can I play the game console if I win?"
Cheng Hao said: "Yes! As long as you win, you can keep playing today and tomorrow!"
Claude's eyes lit up.
They already knew about Claude's fight against August yesterday.
If it was another boxer, knowing that he would face August, he might not be able to sleep all night, but Claude didn't.
A few days ago, Cheng Hao was very strict with Claude and kept him doing some simple training to keep his body in shape and take a good rest, but he was only given two hours a day to play game consoles.
After playing for two hours last night, Claude wanted to continue playing, but Cheng Hao didn't agree. He felt very aggrieved, so he ran to the bed, covered his head with the quilt to get angry... Then he fell asleep after a while, from nine o'clock in the evening to six o'clock this morning, and he was very energetic.
Not only was he not nervous last night, but now he doesn't feel scared. Instead, he asked, "When will the competition start? Can you hurry up!"
Seeing him like this, Cheng Hao couldn't help laughing, Claude's mentality is even inferior to him!
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao said: "The competition will start soon, you work hard, if you can win, I will buy you a big bottle of Coke later!"
Claude was even more excited. Cheng Hao and Old George did not control Claude's diet. Boxers exercise a lot, so it doesn't matter if they eat more. They even need to eat some high-calorie food to ensure their body needs.
But they don't give Claude a drink like Coke.
This thing is full of sugar, drinking too much is not good for the body, and Claude... If they don't control it, Claude can drink all the 2.5 liters of Coke in a while.
Claude to Coke, that is true love!
Before the start of the game, a reporter actually came to interview Crowder: "Hello, you who are about to play August, how do you feel now?"
"In the first game of the final, you faced August. How do you feel?"
"Who do you think will win this game?"
…
Claude didn't speak at first. These reporters came together. There were too many people, and he couldn't hear their questions clearly.
But Claude heard the last sentence clearly, and Claude said: "I will win!"
Those reporters: "…"
Many of these reporters were from August's country, and when they heard Claude's answer, they were all angry.
In their opinion, Claude is no match for August in any case.
"What makes you so confident?" Someone asked aggressively and sarcastically.
"We don't accept interviews!" Cheng Hao said, he has actually been rejecting these people, but he was very gentle before, but now his tone is not so good.
"It's Coke." Claude said.
Cheng Hao: "..."
Cheng Hao, Old George, and other people sent by the company to take care of Claude, protected Claude away from those reporters, and those reporters were still a little dazed at the moment—Coke made Claude confident of winning August? What the hell
That is to say, there is no Internet now. If there is an Internet, people on the Internet will probably be discussing this right now!
But now there is no internet, so the only people talking about it are the journalists: "Is he kidding us?"
"It's unbelievable that a boxer who is not well-known at all said that he is going to win against August!"
"He's too confident!"
"I'm waiting to see August smash his nose!"
…
August's name attracted countless spectators, that is, in the midst of everyone's attention, the match between Claude and August began.
