After they touched gloves, Zhang Jiawei stepped back two steps widening the distance from Tang Yan.Tang Yan didn"t take the initiative to attack, but took a defensive posture.
"Zhang Jiawei is a typical long-distance offensive boxer. His punches are fast and accurate and because of his reach he can maintain his distance, making it difficult for his opponent to defend or attack."
"Tang Yan has taken up a defensive posture, seeing who will take the initiative to attack will be interesting."
Zhang Jiawei saw that Tang Yan didn"t launch an attack off the bat and followed up by reaching out and beckoning Tang Yan.
Tang Yan saw Zhang Jiawei"s movement and rushed forward.
"Ohh! Zhang Jiawei made it clear that he was trying to lure him in and Tang Yan has still gone in!"
"The young man still couldn"t hold back his eagerness."
In the boxing ring, Zhang Jiawei was also slightly surprised. He didn"t expect Tang Yan to be baited so easily. Seeing that Tang Yan didn"t take the initiative to attack, he thought that Tang Yan would sit back in defense, but I guess not.
Zhang Jiawei took a step back and then with the force of his right foot kicking back, he launched a straight jab towards Tang Yan"s jaw.
Tang Yan raised his guard to block.
Zhang Jiawei looked so happy that he was practically beaming.
His right jab didn"t continue towards Tang Yan, in a flash his right jab was pulled back and a left-hook was blasted out.
Zhang Jiawei used his right jab to force Tang Yan into a guard position. Leaving his side and stomach unguarded.
The commentators on the sideline took in a deep breath, Tang Yan had performed well before but in the face of an experienced boxers such as Zhang Jiawei, he seemed too impulsive.
The audience supporting Tang Yan on the sideline also exclaimed when they saw Zhang Jiawei"s left hook.
Just then, Tang Yan released his guard.
"Too late!"
Zhang Jiawei whispered in his heart and his left-hook accelerated toward Tang Yan"s left side.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw Tang Yan smile at him, the smile held the same slyness he had shown Tang Yan before the fight.
He panicked inexplicably.
Just then, he saw a punch coming from the side.
"So fast!"
Tang Yan threw a straight forward right jab towards his left hand.
He had watched Tang Yan"s previous fights. He was impressed with Tang Yan"s method of cutting off his opponents" punches.
Tang Yan"s punch was thrown out reactively so it should be impossible for him to have acc.u.mulated much strength whilst his left-hook was geared up with power.
With this, Tang Yan shouldn"t be able to block his punch.
Zhang Jiawei had enough confidence in his punch and so decided to followed through not attempting to dodge, if he dodged he would be giving up the opportunity to follow up with a combo and end the fight there and then.
Tang Yan would be on guard next time for his feint.
Bam! A m.u.f.fled sound.
The two fists met in the air, and before Zhang Jiawei"s left-hook hit him, Tang Yan"s punch hit the inside of his arm.
The moment Tang Yan"s punch hit, Zhang Jiawei"s complexion suddenly changed, and his confident expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by extreme panic.
He felt a sharp piercing pain in his wrist and a numb tingling sensation spread across his arm.
He sensed a punch coming from his left and showing his conditioning as a boxer, instinctively his right and left hand rose up into a guard posture, at the same time he stopped rus.h.i.+ng forward and attempted to withdraw.
But before he could solidify his stance, he felt the punch arrive.
His two-armed brace wasn"t finished.
Boom!
A heavy punch broke through his guard and hit his left cheek and he felt his entire body shaking, followed by the heavens and the earth spinning.
All of this seemed drawn out but it actually happened in an instant.
The commentators who were anxious for Tang Yan a second ago were shocked and the audience was stunned.
Zhang Jiawei, who was. .h.i.t, turned red on the entire left side of his cheek, and his body was shaking from side to side, as if he had lost his balance.
He worked as hard as possible to reach for the ropes, but in the end he caught air and he fell to the canvas.
The referee saw this seemingly familiar scene and hurried over to start the countdown.
By the last few seconds, the audience could not help counting down as well.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
Even until the last second, Zhang Jiawei was unable to stand from the canvas.
The scene was followed by an explosive cheer.
One punch!
Tang Yan defeated Qin Qiong and Zou Chen all with one punch and now facing the most dominant 56kg boxer in the country, he once again only used one punch on his opponent.
Too crazy!
If they weren"t witnessing it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
"Boxing Killer! One Punch Killer! One Punch Killer!"
The next second, the audience at the scene began to shout Tang Yan"s nickname, mixing in a new twist.
Tang Yan took a breath.
After so many boxing matches, he wouldn"t be so easily challenged by Zhang Jiawei. In fact, he had already predicted Zhang Jiawei"s feint, it had just been a matter of countering.
Zhang Jiawei thought he had baited Tang Yan but in fact, he had already become a fish hooked by Tang Yan.
Zhang Jiawei still failed to stand, he seemed to be concussed. Soon the referee and the medical staff helped him out.
Then the referee came over and grabbed Tang Yan"s hand, and raised it into the air.
Along with the deafening cheers on the scene, Tang Yan successfully won the 56 kg trial becoming the current national champion and secured his place in the 56kg cla.s.s for the World Champions.h.i.+ps.
.....
A swarm of people fracticaly ran down from the stands to collect their winnings from the betting booths.
After collecting their money, one figure laughed looking up at the ring:
"Hahaha one punch, hahaha One Punch Killer indeed, I knew you wouldn"t let me down. To the top we go!".
