Seeing Link finally knock down Andrea, over ten thousand people excitedly clapped and cheered, the massive wave of sound almost ripping the roof off the American Airlines Arena.
"10, 9, 8..."
The referee had barely counted to three when Andrea staggered to his feet, and the fans let out a sigh of disappointment.
"Boxing!"
With only 32 seconds left in the third round, Link wanted to press his advantage and score another KO within those seconds.
Bang!
As he threw punches at Andrea in succession, Andrea, who had been coiled up for a while, suddenly struck out, a hook punch hitting Link's left jaw. Luckily, Link's reaction was quick enough; he tilted his head to the side the moment he saw Andrea's sudden move, avoiding a solid hit.
However, the tremendous force of Andrea's punch still made him stagger, taking two steps back to stabilize himself. Andrea, seizing the advantage, relentlessly swung his fists, launching an attack on him.
Link was a bit surprised but also pleased.
