Chapter 18 Okamoto Boxing Gym
As soon as the bell rang, Luo Hao and Itagaki quickly retracted their fists.
Luo Hao immediately bowed to Itagaki and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Itagaki-senpai. I already have your shadow in my mind. Now the imaginary enemy training can go smoothly!"
Itagaki smiled and nodded: "Luo Hao, you have great potential, I am very optimistic about you, keep going!"
In this way, Luo Hao successfully formed an imaginary enemy in his mind, and the impression was extremely deep.
The next day, when Luo Hao was conducting simulated enemy exercises, President Kamogawa called him to his office.
"Luo Hao is here, please sit down."
Chairman Kamogawa was the only one in the office.
"Ok!"
Luo Hao walked to the sofa and sat down. He felt that the president seemed to have something special to tell him today.
It turned out that Luo Hao's premonition was very accurate, the president continued.
"It's like this, Luo Hao, Okamoto Jintai from Okamoto Boxing Gym wants to find someone to have a simulated fight, but he can't find a suitable lightweight fighter.
Besides, most boxers are reluctant to participate in this kind of private simulated fight, but the reward is very good, 40,000 yen per match."
Luo Hao was very surprised after hearing this, "Forty thousand! That's so much! I only charge 2000 yen for an hour of sparring, why is the price so high for this sparring match?
Chairman, who is this Okamoto Jintai? "
Chairman Kamogawa came out from behind his desk and said, "Did you notice it?
Jintasu Okamoto is not an ordinary boxer. His family owns a boxing gym. He is about the same age as you, but he is not a professional boxer yet.
But his strength is extraordinary, stronger than the average four-round professional boxer.
He was injured some time ago and has just recovered. As he is old enough, he is going to take the professional boxer license exam soon. He is also worried that his condition will not be stable, so he wants to find a suitable boxer to fight with so that he can quickly get into the right condition. "
Luo Hao's eyes flashed with determination, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a confident arc, and then he nodded readily and said: "President, I'll take this job.
The reward is so tempting, how can we let it go easily? "
Seeing that Luo Hao agreed so readily, President Kamogawa frowned slightly and continued, "Luo Hao, do you know that Okamoto Jintai has an impressive record in youth amateur boxing matches, has never lost a single match, and even has a record of KOing his opponents.
A simulated actual combat match would be no different from a professional match, without helmets, and there is a possibility of injury.
Have you thought this through?"
He paused, and his tone turned serious: "The money from Okamoto Boxing Gym is indeed tempting, but for you, making money is secondary, and experience is the main purpose.
The reason I tell you this is that I hope you can understand that this is not just a boxing match, but also an opportunity for you to challenge and improve yourself. "
After hearing this, Luo Hao's eyes flashed with determination, he bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "Thank you for the reminder, President, I accept this competition.
I'll trouble you with the next arrangements, President." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the training room with a determined back.
Chairman Kamogawa nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this, then picked up the phone and dialed a number: “Chairman Okamoto, I have completed the matter you asked me to do yesterday.
I found a suitable opponent and he has agreed.
The game time is set for 10 o'clock the day after tomorrow morning, Sunday."
On the other end of the phone, President Okamoto's voice came, clear and powerful: "Okay, then I'll trouble President Kamogawa.
See you at the gym at 10am on Sunday!"
In a corner of the Yachuan Boxing Gym, Luo Hao's figure was like a cheetah, concentrating on the fierce confrontation with his imaginary enemy.
At this moment, his world was compressed to just him and Senior Itagaki. Their actual combat drills seemed to be caught in an endless cycle, and every confrontation was full of tension and excitement.
Luo Hao, like a hungry sponge, madly absorbed the nutrients that emerged from the confrontation.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, focused on every movement and every flow of power.
He wanted to engrave every detail in his mind.
When a person is completely immersed in something, the passage of time often becomes a blur.
Luo Hao swung his fists, one after another, as if to crush time as well, until Sunday came quietly without anyone noticing.
At this time, a steady call came from the Kamogawa Boxing Gym: "Luo Hao, get ready, we are going to the Okamoto Boxing Gym now, the agreed time has come." That was the voice of President Kamogawa.
Luo Hao stopped what he was doing, looked up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
In fact, he could no longer suppress his desire in his heart, and longed for a thrilling game.
The bout with Itagaki-senpai that day was too short, but for him, it was far from enough.
"Got it, President. Please wait a moment. I'll go clean it up."
An hour later, President Kamogawa and Manager Yagi drove to Okamoto Boxing Gym with Luo Hao.
"Wow, it's so big and magnificent. This boxing gym looks so impressive!"
Luo Hao was like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and he was full of admiration for the boxing gym in front of him.
Chairman Kamogawa looked at Luo Hao with a smile that said, "You really haven't seen the world." "Kid, they come from a boxing family. Before Chairman Okamoto retired, he was the lightweight boxing champion of Japan.
Among the four major boxing organizations in the world, WBA ranks in the top 15! "
Manager Yagi saw the two standing at the door chatting animatedly, and fearing that they would miss the time, he hurriedly reminded them: "President, Luo Hao, let's go in first, don't make the people inside wait anxiously, it would be impolite."
Chairman Kamogawa laughed, stroked the brim of his hat, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right, let's go in now."
The three of them walked into the Okamoto Boxing Gym and saw a middle-aged man walking towards them.
He has a buzz cut, a resolute face, and although he is of medium build, he exudes an air of toughness.
“Old Chairman Kamogawa, long time no see!
You don't look like someone who is almost 80 years old. You look more energetic than a young person."
This middle-aged man was President Okamoto. Although his smile was warm, there seemed to be a subtle sarcasm hidden in his words.
Luo Hao couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this.
Although he was young, he could hear the hidden meaning in these words, which seemed to be a subtle criticism of President Kamogawa for being old but still refusing to admit his age.
President Kamogawa did not seem to notice the hidden meaning of President Okamoto's words, and responded with a smile on his face: "No, no, President Okamoto, you are too kind.
Although you failed to retain the Japanese lightweight championship belt before retiring.
But look at your son, a father like a father will have a son like a dog, I believe he wants to take back this honor for you. I admire you, I admire you."
As soon as President Yachuan finished speaking, Luo Hao secretly admired the old man's wit.
He openly praised President Okamoto's son for his ability, but secretly he was mocking President Okamoto for his failure to maintain his integrity in his later years and losing his gold belt, so he could only pin his hopes on his son.
Luo Hao chuckled in his heart. This old man Yachuan was indeed an old fox. He refused to give any face to President Okamoto.
