Chapter 123 Growth
The one-week training camp in the mountains finally ended, and the Kamogawa Army returned to the Kamogawa Boxing Gym with the reluctant farewell of old man Nekota.
At this time, there are only three days left before the upcoming match between Yingcun and Luohao.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The boxing gym was filled with the sounds of Luo Hao and Yingcun frantically practicing hitting the sandbags, both of them immersed in a tense state of preparation.
"Squeak!"
The door of Kamogawa Boxing Gym was pushed open, and Fujii and a tall, pretty woman walked in.
Their eyes were fixed directly on Yingcun and Luo Hao.
"Fujii, Iimura?" Muronouchi recognized them at a glance and called out their names.
"First step, we didn't come here just to look for you." Iimura Mari smiled, but her eyes were fixed on Luo Hao, "Our target is those two!"
"Haha, I know you are definitely here for these two big names!" Coach Murunouchi responded with a smile.
"Yingcun, Luo Hao, there are guests coming to see you." Coach Murunouchi shouted to the two.
When Luo Hao and Yingcun heard Coach Murunouchi's call, they stopped practicing hitting the sandbag and turned around.
Mari Iimura walked straight towards Luo Hao and generously extended her hand to shake his hand. "Hello, I'm Mari Iimura, a reporter for Boxing Fans magazine and a colleague of Fujii."
Luo Hao was a little confused by the sudden appearance of the female reporter, but he quickly reacted and shook hands with Iimura Mari politely, "Hello, I'm Luo Hao, nice to meet you."
Next, it was time for an exclusive interview with Yingcun and Luo Hao.
The interview was able to proceed smoothly thanks to Fujii's connections, which enabled Boxing Fans magazine to obtain this rare treatment.
Fujii pointed the recorder at Takamura and said, "Takamura, what do you think of Gaolang Wensavado, the strongest opponent you have ever encountered since you started professional boxing?"
Yingcun pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I think Gaolang may be the strongest heavyweight champion on earth."
Fujii felt a little surprised when he heard this, because this was not like Takamura's usual confident style.
However, Yingcun immediately added, "But, my pair of steel fists will still beat him to a pulp."
This sentence immediately restored Takamura's usual arrogance and confidence, and also cheered Fujii up.
Fujii then asked the question: "Gaolong's boxing style evolved from Muay Thai, which is unique in the history of heavyweight boxing.
Does his fierce Muay Thai style make you feel uncomfortable? "
Yingcun laughed again at this time, "Fujii, have you forgotten?
I am the only world heavyweight champion from Japan, so Gaolang and I face the same problem.”
On the other side, Mari Iimura also held a recorder and began her interview with Luo Hao: "Luo Hao, as the strongest dark horse of the East Japan Rookie of the Year this year, how do you evaluate your own strength?"
Facing this question from Mari Iimura, Luo Hao's answer was very concise: "Well-deserved."
These four words surprised Mari Iimura very much.
Based on Luo Hao's behavior in the previous few games, her impression of Luo Hao was that of a shy and immature boy.
However, at this moment, Luo Hao's answer seemed so calm, and there was a hint of domineering aura that should not be underestimated.
In fact, ever since the training in the mountains and the long talk between Luo Hao and Yingcun in the open-air hot spring, Luo Hao's style of doing things has undergone some subtle changes.
Mari Iimura lifted a strand of her long hair and hung it behind her ear, and continued to ask: "So what do you think of your opponent Yamamoto Kazuo?
How do you feel about his strength?"
Luo Hao's answer remained in his brief style: "Like other seeded boxers, there is nothing special about him to me."
"That means you are absolutely confident in becoming the Rookie of the Year!" Iimura Mari concluded.
"That's right!" Luo Hao's answer was unambiguous.
At this point, Mari Iimura's interview with Luo Hao was coming to an end.
She then asked a few irrelevant questions and then said goodbye and left with Fujii.
Fujii and Iimura Mari returned to the car, and Iimura Mari couldn't wait to speak: "Through this interview, I feel that Luo Hao has changed a lot!"
Fujii said "Oh?" in confusion, and asked, "Do you feel that Luo Hao is obviously different from before?"
Mari Iimura turned to look at Fujii who was driving and said seriously: "I feel that Luo Hao is growing rapidly. He has great potential."
Fujii smiled when he heard this, didn't say much, and continued to concentrate on driving.
Because he always felt that Luo Hao was a super star worth looking forward to.
In a corner of the bustling city, Chihshang Boxing Gym stands among the crowd.
This boxing gym is well-known and naturally has a lot of media exposure.
At this moment, there was a crowd of people in front of the boxing gym. Several reporters held microphones and pointed their cameras at President Ikegami, hoping to hear from him the latest news about the upcoming boxing feast.
A male reporter put the microphone close to President Ikegami's lips and said, "President Ikegami, what do you think of the return of the world heavyweight champion Takamura Mamoru from Kamogawa Boxing Gym?
At the same time, as Luo Hao's senior, Yingcun Mamoru will definitely give guidance to this super star, so how will Yamamoto Kazuo respond? "
President Ikegami smiled slightly, with a gleam in his eyes: "The Kamogawa Boxing Gym has a long history and profound heritage. Many boxing champions have come out of here, so its status is naturally self-evident.
However, regarding the matchup between Luo Hao and Yamamoto, I don’t think Luo Hao has any advantage.
Luo Hao's rise is more due to the popularity of Yachuan Boxing Gym."
Before he finished speaking, a female reporter couldn't wait to interrupt: "So President Ikegami, what do you think of Luo Hao's comprehensive style of play?
He can defeat all types of boxers. His punches have amazing explosive power, and with the guidance of famous teachers, he has almost no weaknesses in his fighting style.
I would like to ask if Kazuo Yamamoto has prepared any targeted tactics or trump cards?"
President Chi Shang pondered for a moment and said, "I naturally agree with Luo Hao's strength.
He is indeed the strongest dark horse in this year's East Japan Rookie King Competition.
But Kazuo Yamamoto is also the pride of our gym.
He has the determination and strength to fight Luo Hao, and I believe the match between them will be an exciting contest."
After that, President Ikegami waved his hand gently, signaling that the reporters could leave: "Today's reception ends here, everyone please go back."
However, the reporters did not seem satisfied with this and wanted to ask more questions.
"President Ikegami has one last question..."
"The Ikegami Association..."
Just as the staff of Chihshang Boxing Gym pushed the reporters out.
"Boom!" A loud noise came from the boxing gym.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Kazuo Yamamoto knocking a sparring partner to the ground with a fierce back-hand punch.
His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, revealing his desire and confidence for the upcoming game.
President Ikegami walked to the edge of the ring and asked with concern, "Yamamoto, how is the practice of countering Luo Hao's fighting style going?"
Yamamoto Kazuo turned around and looked directly at President Ikegami, with a cruel smile on his face: "Luo Hao! He's dead!"
"Click, click, click..." The reporters finally captured the wonderful moment.
