Chapter 145 - 134 The Boxing Match Begins_3
Perhaps it was the inspiring words from Bob that had an effect, or maybe it was the urge to prove himself amidst the doubts of so many people around him.
In any case, as soon as the match started, he quickly got into the zone. Taking advantage of his opponent not being fully warmed up, he managed to score several points early on.
A high school boxing match certainly couldn’t go the full twelve rounds like professional fighters do.
But even with just five rounds, it was a big challenge for those who had not undergone professional training.
By the end of all five rounds, his teammate clinched a narrow victory on points over the opponent, securing the first win and advancing to the quarterfinals.
"You got us off to a good start, brother."
Bob congratulated his teammate who had just come down from the ring with a smile. In years past, this would have already been considered a passing mark.
Next was the middleweight division match, and this time luck wasn’t on their side. In the first round, they faced an opponent with the strength of a semifinalist. Despite fighting with all his might until the end, he couldn’t turn the tide and was eliminated.
After these two matches, although they had one win and one loss, the outstanding performance of the two won the recognition of many spectators, and soon, the voices of doubt diminished significantly.
Next, it was Li Ang’s turn to go up.
Maybe his prayers had worked, as in the first round, Li Ang faced none other than Bob’s old adversary.
"Honestly, that’s a lucky draw."
