America is in control

Chapter 9 This is the first step in the long march

I don’t know how Robert convinced Melissa.

Maybe it's because of his status as a former professional boxer, or maybe it's because he serves as the coach of the school boxing club.

After the conversation that day, Robert followed General Liu to his aunt's house.

General Liu didn't know what exactly he and Melissa talked about.

But from then on, Melissa began to unconditionally support Liu's learning of boxing.

Robert made a detailed and complicated training plan for General Liu, with the time accurate to the minute.

There are strict rules on diet, work and rest.

To put it simply, apart from studying, eating and sleeping, Liu spent almost all of his remaining time training.

Robert also found a professional boxing gym for Liu Jiang through his own connections, which was near his home and school.

Going to a professional boxing gym to train is a very important part of Robert's plan. After all, the facilities of the school boxing club are still too basic.

Not to mention professional sparring and actual combat, the school boxing club cannot provide them at all.

Facing the training plan formulated by the coach, Liu will be both painful and happy.

The painful part is naturally the diet, but a Chinese gourmet has to suffer such torture, fuck!

The happy place is of course that I have taken a solid and powerful first step towards planning for the future.

The seed of the dream is finally planted. As long as the blood and sweat keep watering it, one day it will become a towering tree.

The sweat is your own, and the flesh and blood can only be taken from those who try to stop you.

There is no doubt about this, Liu will never hide his nature as a ruthless predator.

Liu Jiang is very lucky to have met a coach like Robert who is both knowledgeable and willing to invest.

This is his first noble person!

But Robert is not a saint, he will not do anything selfless.

General Liu knew this very well. It was true that Robert valued his potential, but as long as General Liu's performance failed to meet expectations, he would not be able to fulfill his potential.

It only took a moment for the two parties to part ways!
Robert wanted something from General Liu, and he made no secret of it.

If General Liu can make a name for himself, Robert will have to share the profits gained by then.

This is a gentleman's agreement reached by both parties, it's so real!
No matter where you are in this world, there is no unreasonable love or unreasonable hate.

Time flies by like a fleeting moment.

The Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena was packed with people and it was very lively.

There were five boxing rings in the huge venue, and the auditorium was full of boxing fans who came to watch the match.

Liu Jiang was squeezed among the contestants and kept looking around, making him stand out.

Coach Robert signed him up for the annual Los Angeles Youth Boxing Tournament.

That's why Liu will be here.

Robert's intention was very clear, it was to test General Liu's training results in the past three months.

There are about 300 players participating in this youth boxing match, divided into three levels.

Most of the contestants are between the ages of 14 and 18.

More than 70% are local high school students in Los Angeles, and the rest are some out-of-town boxers and students from local boxing gyms.

Among the contestants, the largest number are African Americans, accounting for almost 75% of the total number.

It has to be said that in the United States, boxing, a highly competitive sport, is basically dominated by African-American players.

White people are clearly at a disadvantage, let alone Asians.

General Liu's current weight is about 135 pounds, and Robert signed him up for the lightweight competition, which is just right.

A total of 128 players signed up for the lightweight competition. After all, Liu will have to fight at least seven games if he wants to win the crown.

This event is a regular match, and the results will be recorded, but they will be recorded in the amateur record.

Strict drug testing and weight measurement will be conducted before the competition. Liu Jiang has experienced it before and has passed the test.

This tournament lasts for three days in total, and three games will be played on the first day.

Each game consists of three rounds of three minutes each, with a one-minute rest between each round.

After all, this is an amateur competition for teenagers, and the intensity is far less than that of a professional competition.

Two of the five rings in the center of the stadium are for lightweight competitions.

On the final day, only one boxing ring will be left as the final venue.

There are large screens in the stadium that broadcast game information in turn, and the numbers of the participating players are also called through loudspeakers.

Today, in addition to Robert, who will accompany Liu to participate in the Los Angeles Youth Boxing Tournament, there are also his aunt's family.

Liu Jiang was looking around just to find where his aunt's family was.

After searching around, Liu Jiang saw his aunt's family.

They sat in the southeast corner of the stadium near the front row, facing the two boxing rings for the lightweight competition. It was definitely a good seat to watch the game.

Liu Jiang waved to his aunt's family, and he received an enthusiastic response.

At this moment, the results of the draw came out.

Liu's first official opponent will be a boxer named Tony Thrace.

Through the big screen, Liu Jiang saw some basic data of Tony.

16 years old, the same age as me, only 172cm tall, about the same weight, 134 pounds, with a wingspan of 178cm, 4cm shorter than me.

From the data point of view, it seems that nothing can be seen!
No matter what, as the saying goes, the soldiers will block the water and the soil will cover it. General Liu is now full of self-confidence.

After three months of devilish training, Liu Jiang's body fat ratio is now only 9%, and his muscle lines are very obvious.

Comparable to Nick Cheung in "Guild Wars".

"No. 88, John Liu, please come to ring No. 3 to participate in the competition."

Hearing the call from the loudspeaker, Robert led General Liu to the No. 3 boxing ring.

Along the way, Robert kept reminding General Liu what to pay attention to after stepping into the ring.

Ask him to relax and not be too nervous.

It can be seen that Robert is still very concerned about General Liu's first competition.

Arriving under the ring, Robert checked General Liu's gloves and protective equipment before letting him get on the ring.

There was no cheering, no screaming, no pretty sign-holding girls.

The only person who appeared in General Liu's field of vision was a dark-skinned African-American boy.

It is Tony Thracian who will be Liu's opponent in this competition.

Tony has a big head, a round face, and looks chubby, and his exposed arms have no muscle outline.

Is this guy really a contestant here for a boxing match?
General Liu was a little unsure, but remembering Robert's repeated explanations before, he did not dare to underestimate the opponent in front of him.

The referee also stepped onto the ring at this time. After checking the gloves and mouthguards of both parties, he began to emphasize the basic rules of the game.

No hitting on the back of the head, no hitting on the back, no hitting below the belt.

After saying this, the referee asked both parties to nod to confirm.

As the bell rang, Liu Jiang's first amateur boxing match officially began.
