Chapter 277 Nine Seconds KO
CCTV still broadcast this game live, still featuring Xia Song and Wang Guojun.

This time boxing was Wang Guojun's specialty and he seemed very excited. The commentators didn't know how he got through the previous two times.

He said with some regret: "It's a pity that Xiao Ke doesn't have a world title, otherwise if Zhong Qiu wins, he will be the world heavyweight champion."

Xia Song smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Coach Wang, there is still Da Ke behind Xiao Ke. Da Ke will probably have to wait until the offseason or next season.”

Then he added: "The first two matches were MMA fights, and this one is the first professional boxing match of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wonder how the PPV sales will be?"

"It will definitely break."

Wang Guojun said happily.

On the other side is the live commentary booth of ESPN, the television rights holder of this boxing match.

Commentator Ethan Monies said excitedly: "Three million, PPV sales have exceeded three million and are still increasing rapidly."

"Great! Hopefully we can break the sales record of 423 million tonight," another commentator, Sean Smith, said excitedly.

Xiao Ke came out and hugged Da Ke and other relatives and friends.

The host's extremely excited voice sounded again: "Now let us welcome the red boxer, the Kung Fu King from China, the Hollywood super action star, the NBA's top center, King! Gang! Wolf! Happy! Mid! Autumn Festival!"

"Oh ho!"

A thunderous roar rang out, and countless New Yorkers cheered.

Seeing this scene, Big K, Little K, and their agent couldn't help but regret that they shouldn't have set the venue for the game at the Wolverines' home court.

If it were in Eastern Europe, the one enjoying the cheers and support of countless boxing fans would be Klay, not Wolverine.

On the contrary, seeing this scene, He Zhongqiu immediately became excited and his adrenaline surged rapidly.

He walked out of the aisle and hugged and fist-bumped a group of friends including Wu Jing and Zhang Jin. A large group of Hollywood stars and Knicks players stood on both sides.

"Crack, click, click..."

A large number of media reporters pressed the shutter buttons.

"Wolverine, I've placed a bet of $1 to knock him out in one round. The odds are 1.5 to . Don't let me lose money." Michael Jordan shouted.

He Zhongqiu shouted with admiration: "Michael Jordan, you really are worthy of being the NBA God of Gamblers. You always win when you gamble!"

Jordan became excited and decided to go to Las Vegas tomorrow.

Two minutes later, He Zhongqiu and Klitschko Jr. stood on the ring.

"Four million! PPV sales have exceeded four million."

The moment the two men stood on the ring, Ethan Mones shouted excitedly.

"There are still ten minutes left, and the record of 423 million will definitely be broken." Sean Smith said with anticipation.

However, both of them actually understand that the sales growth rate has been sluggish. Wolverine's first professional boxing match should be able to break 423 million, but there is no room for further growth.

After all, Klay Thompson does not have a world title. If he were to have a world championship match with Klay Thompson, I believe the PPV sales would be even crazier.

Sean Smith said with envy: "Wolverine's appearance fee is 7000 million US dollars. If he wins the game and gets a bonus of 3000 million, that's 1 million."

Ethan Mones said: "Based on the sales of only 400 million, Wolverine can earn 1.8 million, which adds up to 2.8 million in revenue."

In Hong Kong, at Xie Tingfeng's home, he was with Zhang Weijian, Chen Guanxi, and Zhang Baizhi. The TV was on, and it was broadcasting He Zhongqiu's boxing match.

The reason they watched this boxing match was because they wanted to see Wolverine lose.

When Zhang Wei heard the figure of 2.8 million US dollars, he felt as if he was bitten by a poisonous snake, and his face was full of pain.

The same goes for Xie Tingfeng. He and Zhang Weijian are almost done with their lawsuit against the advertising agent, and the situation is neither good nor bad.

But they will definitely have to return part of the advance payment they received. Although they are not bankrupt, their development has almost come to a standstill and they have no income. This money is painful for them.

The situation of Zhang Bozhi and Edison Chen is not much better than the other two. They have trouble getting roles. No one in the mainland wants them to film, and they have no commercial activities. The losses are actually not small.

Even if it is a co-production between Huangying and Huayi, they will not be included in it, and the boss Yang Shou does not intend to take the risk of using them.

Zhang Baizhi is becoming more and more upset. Her income has been drastically reduced and she has no job, which has affected her quality of life.

When she supported Xie Tingfeng and banned Wolverine, she did it on impulse and never thought about the serious consequences.

But Xie Tingfeng is now very depressed, with no bright future and almost bankrupt. He is no longer the handsome, wealthy and popular young star that she liked in the beginning.

Chen Guanxi and Zhang Baizhi dated for a year and there were rumors of an affair in 03. In fact, the two had already broken up by then and he was with Gillian Chung at the time.

Thinking of those intimate memories, his heart suddenly warmed up.

At this time, CCTV inserted the clip of He Zhongqiu practicing the iron shirt yesterday.

Wu Jing also took the microphone and introduced: "Dear viewers in front of the TV, what we are practicing now during the Mid-Autumn Festival is the Iron Shirt.

There is no other fancy tricks in his iron vest. He just practices like this, over and over again, from childhood to adulthood, until his bones become as hard as steel. It is very hard, extremely hard, and most people simply cannot do it.

Also, this wooden man is made of iron wood. Hey, Zhongqiu, wait a minute, let me chop it with a knife to test the hardness of the iron wood."

After He Zhongqiu stopped, Wu Jing walked up with a single-edged sword, raised the sword and said, "See, this is sharpened."

At this time, Zhang Jin handed over an apple, and Wu Jing cut the apple with a knife, which was very sharp.

"Seize! Seize! Seize..."

Wu Jing began to swing his knife at the wooden man. He chopped it down with force a few times, leaving only a few very shallow knife marks on it, and he couldn't chop into it at all.

This documentary clip caused a sensation in the country.

"Wolverine is just a souped-up version of Takeshi Fujita."

"If Fujita Tsuyoshi was that strong, Chen Zhen would have been beaten to death long ago."

"When will Wolverine make a martial arts movie? I want to see it so badly!"

"It's almost time. The Iron Eagle King will be released soon."

On the domestic Internet, many related forums quickly attracted countless netizens and built tall buildings.

"Is he a human being?" Zhang Wei said absentmindedly.

"He is not a human being." Xie Tingfeng said.

"Afeng, why don't we apologize? If we continue like this, we'll be finished." Zhang Baizhi suddenly said to Xie Tingfeng.

"What did you say?" Xie Tingfeng said in an aggressive tone.

"I said we can't go on like this."

Zhang Baizhi's irritability became even more agitated, and he spoke in defiance of Xie Tingfeng's anger.

"Are you crazy? Do you think he will let us go if we bow to him? He is vindictive." Xie Tingfeng said angrily.

Zhang Wei was filled with regret and said, "At the beginning, I said something unpleasant to Ma Ziyangxue. Just one sentence, and he wanted to kill us."

Zhang Baizhi didn't dare to vent his anger on Xie Tingfeng, so he turned to Zhang Weijian and said angrily:

"You, it's all because of you. You're crazy. You can't afford to offend others, but you still want to offend them. You've hurt us like this. Can you afford to pay for it? You've killed us."

"I?"

Zhang Wei wanted to cry, but he had no tears.

"Shut up!"

Xie Tingfeng angrily scolded Zhang Baizhi.

"You scold me?"

Zhang Baizhi was stunned. She had almost gone bankrupt for supporting Xie Tingfeng. How could Xie Tingfeng treat her like this?

Furious and sad, she grabbed her bag and walked out, angrily saying, "Xie Tingfeng, you idiot, you are so good! We break up!"

"Break up if you want!" Xie Tingfeng said angrily.

"Hello, Azhi? Azhi?"

Zhang Baizhi rushed out without looking back. Chen Guanxi called out twice and quickly said to Xie Tingfeng, "Ah Feng, I'll help you look after her."

Xie Tingfeng was also angry for a moment and nodded when he heard this.

"Azhi, wait for me, let's go together." Chen Guanxi immediately chased after him.

At this time, Xie Si came down from the building. He had seen everything that had just happened, and he advised, "A Feng, boys should be more generous, and girls need to be coaxed."

"How can I coax her? She is unreasonable." Xie Tingfeng said in annoyance.

Xie Si advised: "Azhi is a good person and has always supported you. Now that you have problems in your career, why don't you get married first?

You are having bad luck, so you offended that villain Wolverine. If you get married, maybe your luck will change."

"Get married?" Xie Tingfeng was stunned.

He did have feelings for Zhang Baizhi, especially Zhang Baizhi's support for him during this period, which touched him deeply, a hundred times more than Wang Fei.

Chen Guanxi caught up with Zhang Baizhi, pulled her into his car, and advised while driving: "Azhi, don't be angry with Afeng." "He can't do this to me. Because of him, my career prospects are gone." Zhang Baizhi cried with tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry? Why don't you go to my house first and have a drink?" Chen Guanxi touched Zhang Baizhi's head and persuaded him softly.

"Ah."

Zhang Baizhi nodded.

At this sad moment, she really wanted someone to be with her, and Chen Guanxi was the person she had loved before. Chen Guanxi's home was once their love nest. After being hurt by Xie Tingfeng, she did not resist Chen Guanxi's proposal at all.

At this time, Zhou Yunfa was also watching the game, and he also wanted to see He Zhongqiu lose.

Unfortunately, before the game even started, he saw how powerful He Zhongqiu's iron shirt was, and said irritably: "This mainlander is not a human being at all."

His wife Chen Huilian sat on the side and advised: "Ah Fat, what should we do now? No one in Hong Kong can afford you, and no one in the mainland wants you to film. If your salary is reduced by half, there will be no movies to shoot. How about reconciling with Wolverine?"

Zhou Yun said with a dark face: "Wife, I talked to A-Long the day before yesterday. Yang Shou tried to reconcile with him, but he refused. Tell me, how can we reconcile? Damn it, he wants to kill me!"

Chen Huilian was delighted, because this time Ah Fa's tone was not as deadly as before, which meant that Ah Fa also wanted to reconcile.

"How about I go look for Mr. Long Wu and Chen Lan? I heard recently that Hua Xia Xing is also planning to develop in the north," she said.

Zhou Yunfa didn't say anything. Chen Huilian took it as his consent and was very happy. She planned to visit the Long family someday.

At this time, in Madison Square Garden, on the ESPN commentary booth, Ethan Mones shouted excitedly: "424 million! Record-breaking, Wolverine broke the PPV sales record he just set."

"Great! It should be able to reach 450 million tonight." Sean Smith said excitedly.

"when!"

Ten seconds later, the bell for the first round rang.

"BOX!"

At the referee's command, the first round officially began.

When the referee's right arm swiped downward forcefully, Xiao Ke quickly took half a step forward and threw a quick and accurate jab towards He Zhongqiu's face.

He Zhongqiu tilted his head, moved his left arm, and returned a jab.

"Jab! Xiao Ke missed!"

On CCTV's live broadcast platform, Wang Guojun shouted quickly.

"Zhongqiu jab missed!" Xia Song also shouted at almost the same time.

Xiao Ke stepped to the right, causing He Zhongqiu to miss his attack. At the same time, he moved to his left front side, caught his blind spot, and raised his arm to deliver a fierce right oblique hook.

The so-called blind spot is the offensive blind spot.

Boxing is different from fighting, there is no backhand punch, so the offensive sweet spot is the front of the body, and both sides are blind spots for attack. Even if you force yourself to punch, you won’t be able to unleash the power.

As long as you catch the opponent's blind spot in attack, you can launch your own attack, which will be difficult for the opponent to defend.

The one who did this best was Michael Tyson.

His side-step hook attack after dodging is his powerful offensive weapon.

Clichy's coach is the legendary coach Emanuel Steward. Super boxing champions Lewis and Holyfield were once his disciples.

The tactics he formulated for Xiaoke was to abandon the previous control style of play.

Because Klitschko's arms are not as long as He Zhongqiu's, he has no advantage in playing a controlling style of play, but is at a disadvantage.

The fighting style he taught Xiaoke was to follow Tyson's style, using the small to defeat the big and take advantage of He Zhongqiu's offensive blind spot.

Although Xiaoke does not have Tyson's god-level dodging, he also has a great weapon, which is his top-notch footwork ability.

By making good use of this ability, he believes that Klopp can also play like Tyson.

"Oh!"

He Zhongqiu was hit by a hook in the left rib.

"Close attack!"

In the audience, Emanuel Steward roared excitedly.

Although Wolverine's arms are longer, it is actually a disadvantage in the close circle. The fighting style he has formulated must take advantage of this and allow Klopp to find opportunities to hit Wolverine hard with his uppercut.

"hit!"

In the ESPN live broadcast booth, Ethan Mones shouted excitedly.

At the same time as the right hook was successful, Xiao Ke twisted his waist and swung his arms, and threw a fierce hook punch towards He Zhongqiu's face.

"batter!"

Sean Smith roared excitedly.

But the next moment, He Zhongqiu moved his feet and stepped back instantly.

Xiaoke's footwork is top-notch, but his footwork is not bad either, and Xiaoke's movement speed may not be as fast as his.

"Hit the air!" Xia Song shouted excitedly.

"Counterattack!" the royal army shouted almost at the same time.

The moment He Zhongqiu stepped back and let his opponent miss, the counterattack began.

"Oh!"

A fierce backhand straight punch hit Xiao Ke's defense, breaking it, and then hit his left eye.

Xiao Ke groaned, and quickly stepped back to create distance, ending the attack and defense.

"Hit! The back fist hit!" Xia Song shouted excitedly.

"Beautiful! This backhand punch is beautiful!" Wang Guojun said excitedly.

At this time, He Zhongqiu strode towards Xiao Ke.

This is a professional boxing match, not a fighting match. In a fighting match, there are ground combats that he is not good at, and he has some concerns. But what is there to be afraid of in a boxing match?
Although his coach does not recommend that he take heavy punches, he is confident that he can take heavy punches and can withstand punches weighing thousands of pounds.

Seeing Wolverine approaching fiercely, Xiao Ke immediately threw a jab, hoping to intimidate his opponent and prevent him from getting close.

Ignoring it, He Zhongqiu did not dodge at all. Instead, he twisted his waist and swung his arms, delivering another powerful straight punch.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Ke's jab instantly hit He Zhongqiu's face, hitting his forehead.

"Oh!"

The next moment, He Zhongqiu's right fist hit Xiao Ke's nose bridge, and the heavy impact sounded like hitting a sandbag.

The moment Xiao Ke was hit by the punch, his head shook violently backwards, and then his whole body was knocked down by the huge axe like a piece of wood, and hit the boxing ring with a bang.

"Oh ho!"

Madison Square Garden immediately erupted in loud exclamations.

"STOP!"

The judge rushed over and shouted harshly.

"Oh ho!"

Jordan, who had placed a heavy bet on He Zhongqiu knocking out Xiaoke in the first round, roared with excitement.

Like him, many other people at the scene also placed such bets, and they were all shouting and yelling excitedly.

"Knocked down! Zhongqiu knocked down the opponent!" Wang Guojun shouted excitedly.

"Beautiful! Zhongqiu knocked down his opponent with a heavy punch. Can Xiaoke still get up?" Xia Song said excitedly.

"Knockout! Knockout with a heavy punch! Wolverine knocks out Dr. Steel Hammer Klitschko with a heavy punch..."

In the ESPN commentary booth, Ethan Monies shouted with extreme excitement.

Sean Smith shouted excitedly: "Wolverine took a jab from Klopp and then launched a counterattack and knocked Klopp out with a heavy punch.

Yes, he knocked out Klay, and because Klay didn’t struggle at all, I guess he was even in a coma.”

At this time, Ethan Mones yelled crazily: "Oh! God, the referee stopped the game, stopped the game, Wolverine KO'd Little K in the ninth second of the first round, KO'd Little K in the ninth second..."

"Nine seconds! Nine seconds!" Sean Smith roared excitedly.

On the stage, He Zhongqiu raised his hands high and greeted the boxing fans present.

"Crack, click, click..."

Below the stage, the cameras of the media reporters were flashing wildly.
