Release the Dog Yujiro vs. the Unbeatable Golden Spear Kuroki

Chapter 17 Luohao vs. National Champion

Luo Hao stood up straight and both of them adopted traditional boxing stance.

Itagaki and Luo Hao approached each other, and in the center of the ring, the two touched each other with their gloves.

At this time, the spectators in the boxing gym all gathered around. They had two major hobbies: first, to watch the beauties, and second, to watch the boxing matches.

Some people even rang the timing bell, which made the atmosphere of the competition even more intense.

"when!"

[Here I would like to introduce Itagaki Manabu to my readers.]

Before entering the professional boxing world, Itagaki Manabu had won the runner-up in high school sports competitions many times, and had also lost to the same person many times - Kyosuke Imai.

As a result, he lost confidence and set limits on his abilities, until he regained his confidence after defeating Kyosuke Imai in the East Japan Rookie of the Year competition, completely liberating himself and unleashing his true strength.

The person he admires is Makunouchi Ippon, whose record is 13 fights, 12 wins, 10 KOs and 1 loss.

Itagaki is a very talented boxer with excellent sense of distance and dynamic visual ability.

After the battle with Takuma Saeki, he established himself as the fastest runner in Japan.

During a break in the match, he even said: It feels like I'm looking at the ring from above.

In his eyes, most of his opponents' punches are like slow motion.

After being hit by a jab from Itagaki just now, Luo Hao instantly regained his composure.

His little brain worked quickly as he began to analyze the enemy and our situation: "Itagaki-senpai is 168cm tall, with a wingspan of 170cm and a weight of 55kg, while I am 172cm tall, with a wingspan of 175cm and a weight of 61kg.

From this perspective, my attack range is slightly larger than his."

However, Itagaki-senpai is a national featherweight champion known for his speed. With his strength, I'm afraid I won't stand a chance of winning no matter how hard I try.

So, the best strategy is to control the distance and keep harassing him with jabs.

If there is a chance, I will deliver a powerful punch from behind.

If there is no chance, just keep controlling the distance, wear him down with jabs, and eventually run out of time!

Luo Hao had already decided on the technical and tactical plan in his mind. His eyes were cold and he was not afraid of the national champion psychologically.

However, he did not choose an oppressive style of play. Instead, he made up his mind to stick to the center of the ring so that he would always have room to retreat.

As soon as Itagaki entered his attack range, he would immediately jab him.

Itagaki was an experienced boxer, and he saw through Luo Hao's intentions at once: "You're quite good, little brat. Your calculations are so good, but it's a pity that they are useless."

Itagaki did not charge head-on, but instead circled around Luo Hao clockwise, using a roundabout tactic.

The people in the audience immediately went wild.

"This rookie's tactics are correct. He controls the distance and takes advantage of his height and long arms. In this way, it seems that Itagaki can't do anything to him."

"You've been training your boxing skills for nothing these past few years. Don't you think about the fact that Itagaki is known as the fastest boxer in Japan? If Luo Hao plays against Itagaki in a controlled match, Itagaki will definitely be able to break through his defense easily with his speed."

Before the man finished speaking, Itagaki suddenly changed his movement rhythm, paused, and successfully lured out Luo Hao's lead jab.

However, what Luo Hao hit was only Itagaki's afterimage.

Itagaki made a smooth move, first luring out Luo Hao's jab, then taking a step clockwise, and throwing a flash right punch, accurately hitting Luo Hao's left cheek.

"boom!"

Luo Hao's skills and tactics were completely ineffective in front of Itagaki. He was easily broken through by Itagaki and was severely slapped in the face.

[Popular science on the types and uses of boxing jabs:

1. The tip of the conventional jab should rotate normally, and must be thrown and retracted quickly.

The jab is the most frequently used punch in actual combat, but to throw the jab well, you need to use your brain and know how to use it.

Conventional jabs are mostly used for harassment and preparation, such as hitting from below.

Don't be too limited with your jab, try multiple angles, feints, and create opportunities for your punches.

2. The vertical jab is more likely to break through someone's defense from the middle, because the contact surface of the punch is narrower when standing up. The vertical jab is often combined with a head tilt and change of direction, which is very useful.

3. The Whip Jab (also called the Flash Punch) is an unexpected jab that strikes the target with the tip of the back of the fist.

This jab force pattern is like swinging a towel, which is thrown out mainly to harass the opponent.

This jab is very similar to the backflip punch in Jeet Kune Do. 】

The man who had just expressed his opinion under the ring spoke again: "I am not wrong, even if the rookie has an overall advantage in height and weight, he is facing the fastest boxing champion, it is still too much for him."

After his analysis, the people around him nodded.

However, Luo Hao in the boxing ring did not seem to lose confidence because of this punch. His eyes hidden behind the gloves were still as sharp as knives.

"It seems this method won't work. Senior Itagaki's speed advantage is hard to suppress.

Then press forward and force Itagaki-senpai into a corner, where he won't be able to fully utilize his speed and footwork.

Force him to fight me in close combat, so that my weight advantage can be used."

Luo Hao changed his tactics immediately and began to steadily put pressure on Itagaki in order to limit his range of activities.

Aoki and Kimura returned from the boxing gym. The former had black eyes like a panda, and the latter had blood at the corners of his mouth.

The two men stepped into the gym, and as far as they could see, Luo Hao and Itagaki were already fighting in the ring, and the fight was in full swing.

Their blood suddenly boiled, and they hurried forward to watch, their eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement.

These two people seem to be more optimistic about Luo Hao.

Qingmu waved his arms excitedly and said in a loud voice: "Luo Hao, push the boxing champion to the corner of the ropes, even if he gets hit by a few punches, it doesn't matter.

As long as we trap him in a corner, it will be difficult for him to display his skills. Strength is the key to victory or defeat!"

Kimura's blood was boiling, he danced and shouted loudly: "Luo Hao, go! Let him see your power!"

Itagaki, who was in the boxing ring, heard the shouts from Aoki and Kimura, and sneered, "Naive! Do you think you can force me into a corner like this?"

His eyes flashed, and he quickly adjusted his strategy and launched a fierce attack.

Jabs, hooks, and hooks rained down on Luo Hao. Although most of them were blocked by Luo Hao's arms, a few punches still hit the vital points.

"Bang bang bang..."

The dull sound of punches hitting flesh echoed in the boxing gym.

Although Luo Hao was hit by several punches, he remained calm. The situation was already one-sided, and Itagaki's attack was like a tide, and Luo Hao could only barely resist.

Just when Itagaki was getting carried away, a cold light flashed in Luo Hao's eyes. He clenched his fists and whispered to himself: "Now!"

Then, an extremely cold and fierce punch whizzed out and hit Itagaki's vital point directly.

This punch was as powerful as a bamboo breaking through a bamboo pole, like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, its fangs about to penetrate into the bone.

Itagaki was frightened by this sudden attack and broke out in a cold sweat. He could never have imagined that Luo Hao would burst out with such powerful strength when being completely suppressed.

He was filled with regret. If he had not underestimated the enemy, how could he have fallen into such danger?

However, at this critical moment, the bell rang.

Luo Hao's left hook paused in the air, just a millimeter away from Itagaki's ribs.
