Chapter 080: The Olympics End

The time came to August when Link, representing the United States boxing team, went to Han Jing to participate in the Olympic Games.

The Olympic boxing competition is divided into five rounds: elimination, preliminary, quarter-final, semi-final, and final matches. There were only 30 competitors in total, but they were all the strongest boxers from the four continents.

The elimination round was held on August 12 at the Capital City Workers Stadium. Link fought against Nobuhiro Ishida, a boxer from the East, and at the 86th second of the first round, he knocked down his opponent with a rear hook punch, causing the opponent to fall and remain down for ten seconds.

In the preliminaries, Link fought against the Irish competitor Darren Sutherland, knocking down his opponent five times in four rounds and causing him to fall to the ground for several seconds thrice. Link successfully advanced to the quarter-finals with an amateur record reaching 24 fights, 24 wins, and 24 KOs.
