"Remember not to play tough with Taylor . Although you're also the world's top offensive boxer, and your punch is powerful, trust me, playing tough with Taylor is the stupidest thing in the world . Highfield told the world how to defeat Taylor . The only way we can win is to exhaust his energy . If you want to win, you must strictly execute the tactics we decided before," the coach kept telling Hopkins .
The referee signaled the two boxers to the center of the ring .
"Come on!" the coach patted Hopkins on his shoulder .
Hopkins walked to the center of the ring, as did Taylor .
The bell rang, and the fight between the two boxing champions finally began .
…
"Taylor has gone on the offensive . Nice combination! Wow! Brilliant defense! Hopkins's defense is impeccable!" the commentator said .
At the beginning, Taylor launched a fierce offense . The audience was overwhelmed by his combination punches together with his continuous evasion . If the opponent was just an ordinary boxer, he might have fallen down under the first offense .
It was the strategy set before the match, and also the one that Taylor used most frequently . No matter who his opponent was, he would go fiercely on the offensive at the beginning of the match . If the opponent immediately ready for the attack, the match was over before it even began .
Hopkins was in good form . He had a perfect figure and the best defense in the world . There were no defects in his footwork, evasion, or blocking .
Taylor missed the hit, but he didn't give up looking for a chance to strike . Using fierce offense in the first round was a typical tactic for Taylor . He could suppress his opponent's momentum and gain mental advantage, even if his opponent could withstand his attacks .
In fact, nobody believed that Hopkins could be defeated in the first round, because the two had almost no difference in strength . As the boxing champion of two boxing federations, Hopkins was definitely excellent at defending .
"Taylor's offense at the beginning of the game didn't seem to have any real goal other than to overwhelm his opponent in momentum," the commentator said .
"Exactly . Taylor obviously realized that . Look! He's starting to distance himself from Hopkins and try him with jabs . The first round is going to end . He clearly doesn't want to exert more energy," another commentator said .
The first round entered the countdown . Neither boxer in the ring both made very aggressive movements . When the bell rang at the end of the first round, the two returned to their own respective corners .
Hopkins's coach was beside him . "Taylor's offense was aggressive in the first round, as expected . According to his style, he could continue this offense for two or three rounds . Thus, in the next round, no direct contact with Taylor . Continue the strategy just now . Defend and deter . . . " The coach spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid of finishing his words during this short pause .
On the contrary, Ayres was calmer .
"Hopkins isn't an opponent you can easily beat . So, take it easy . You should be more patient and avoid mistakes . Just carry out the set strategy and wait . Wait for Hopkins to relax, and wait for him to be paralyzed . . . "
The pause was very short . The two boxers returned to the boxing ring after several breaths .
"The second round begins . Will Taylor continue his fierce offensive?"
"Taylor is still feeling him out . At his position, he now can't reach Hopkins at all . Taylor doesn't seem to be as aggressive as he was before . Maybe Hopkins put him under pressure . "
"Taylor is advancing . Is he attacking? Just a feeler . Hopkins evaded in time . Taylor missed . "
Round three .
"Taylor strikes again . Oh, Hopkins didn't evade this time . He struck back! Oh! They parted again . Maybe neither of them thought it was a good opportunity to attack . "
. . .
The doctor gave Taylor a simple treatment for his eyes .
"Okay . This won't affect your sight, right?" the doctor asked .
"No problem," Taylor said in a low voice . He looked at Hopkins opposite . The pain from the corner of his eye made him angry .
You broke the corner of my eye unexpectedly . Few people have made me look bad for a long time! Taylor stared at Hopkins viciously .
Hopkins was not doing any better . One of his cheeks was swollen and painful when he spoke .
I was accidentally hit by Taylor . I shouldn't have been so aggressive . I thought Taylor wouldn't have a chance to respond to that punch . But I didn't expect his reaction to be so quick that he could punch back when he was hit!
Next to Hopkins, his coach started talking again . "In the next round, you can go more on the offensive . I don't think Taylor's strength will last long . After all, he is 32 years old . He will become more and more incompetent in this high-intensity match . "
. . .
Round five .
It had been a long time since Taylor fought a fifth round .
Hopkins's figure began to shake in front of him, and Taylor suddenly became nervous .

"A deceptive movement! Hopkins begins his offense!"
Taylor's attention had never been more focused, and he hoped to find the defect in Hopkins's offense and deliver a critical strike . But for a boxing champion like Hopkins, even a defect was fleeting .
Whoosh! Hopkins punched but Taylor just evaded it to one side, making the motion look easy .
However, Hopkins's offense was just starting . As a representative of heavyweight boxing, Hopkins had no lack of offensive capability .
"It has begun! Finally, Hopkins begins his offense!" Ayres was still expressionless on the sidelines, but he heaved a long sigh of relief . So far, the script had not gone off course .
Finally, the fish begins to bite . . .
…
Despite his height of two meters, Hopkins was remarkably nimble .
"Nice punch! Almost! Even I didn't think Taylor could evade it . "
"Hopkins turns to offense, while Taylor begins to defend . Their roles have completely reversed from the beginning of the match . "
"After all, Taylor is 32 years old, and he isn't a physical boxer in the first place . Now, he might meet his physical bottleneck . "
As the commentator spoke, Hopkins's offense became even more fierce .
Taylor's mind couldn't be calmer . He knew that the fiercer Hopkins's offense was, the bigger the possibility that he would make a mistake . His chance might come any second .
. . .
Hopkins evaded to one side, and he seemed to go after Taylor's flank .
That's a deceptive movement . Taylor already knew Hopkins's strategy .
But in the next moment, Taylor was facing two choices .
Evasion or offense? If I evade, Hopkins can't hit me . But if I attack, though I will be punched, I can cause him damage!
The idea flashed through Taylor's mind, and he chose the latter without hesitation: offense!

That was Taylor's boxing defense . Whether he was offending or defending, his strength was to advance, punch and hit his opponent .
Taylor moved fast and fought back . Meanwhile, Hopkins punched .
Taylor punched too!
Bang! Hopkins's punch landed on Taylor's left ear .
I hit it! Even before Hopkins had time to rejoice, his jaw wrenched sideways under Taylor's blow .
Oh, no! He hit my jaw! Hopkins's mind went blank and he stumbled to the ground .
. . .
Humming . . .
Taylor seemed to hear a swarm of bees around him . His sight blurred and his consciousness paused for a moment .
After Taylor shook his head, and his sight began to clear . But he could still hear the humming .
Hopkins's punch was really heavy . If Taylor was an ordinary boxer, he wouldn't have been able to stand up now . Even so, he felt a bit stunned .
However, Hopkins fell down to the ground .
"KO? Taylor KO'd Hopkins? What happened? I just saw Hopkins hit Taylor!"
"No, Taylor also hit Hopkins! Taylor punched Hopkins in the jaw . The two hurt each other and neither took any advantage!"
"But Hopkins fell down . "
"Taylor seems to be wobbling . "
The audience was overwhelmed, and they were all looking at Hopkins .
. . .

Blurry, everything was blurry before him .
Booming, everything was booming in his head .
Hopkins was lying on the ground with his eyes open, still breathing, but his eyes were empty as if he had lost his soul . Taylor's punch even made Hopkins forget the pain, and his consciousness was slipping .
"1, 2, 3 . . . " The referee's count began, but it couldn't remove that humming sound from Hopkins's head .
"4, 5, 6 . . . " The audience couldn't help but count with the referee . The counting sound became increasingly loud and orderly .
Finally, the humming in Hopkins's head quieted enough for him to hear the count .
Someone is counting! Finally, he moved . He wanted to stand up!
What drove him to his feet was not his mind, but the instinct of a boxer and the desire to win!
"Hopkins stood up!"
The thunder of applause and shouts of approval were all around . Everyone was shouting Hopkins's name .
Hopkins was becoming fully conscious again . He felt a bit dizzy . Although he was standing in the boxing ring, everything around him seemed to be spinning .
"Are you alright?" the referee asked . The noise was so loud that the referee almost shouted at Hopkins .
But Hopkins didn't answer . He just looked at Taylor on the opposite side of the ring . Taylor was breathing heavily, and his eyes were filled with blood, probably from a concussion .
Suddenly Hopkins felt that Taylor was just like a wounded beast .
Taylor's condition is bad too . I can't give up! I must win! Thinking of this, Hopkins nodded seriously . "I can still fight!"
. . .
Hopkins staggered to Taylor . Apparently, he had not recovered from the hit .
But Hopkins wasn't giving up . He was still insisting . He wanted to win .
He stood up! He stood up after my heavy punch! He is a worthy opponent! Taylor thought . The next second, he raised his fists .
Taylor knew that the best way to show his respect to a worthy opponent was to KO him in the boxing ring!Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
