Chapter 57: The Rookie King Contest is about to begin
Luo Hao! Luo Hao! "Manager Yagi's voice echoed in the gym, and he hurried out of the office, holding a piece of paper tightly in his hand.
Luo Hao was concentrating on practicing boxing fancy rope skipping. The rope was flying in his hands and sweat was dripping with every jump.
However, the sudden call broke his concentration.
He was distracted for a moment, and the rope silently wrapped around his ankles, then tied his entire body tightly.
Luo Hao's body froze, and then there was a loud "bang", and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Ouch!"
Luo Hao's fall attracted the attention of the boxers who were training around him, and laughter came like a tide.
Someone joked: "He really has a talent for comedy, it's a waste of his talent to box!"
Chairman Kamogawa walked over with a frown on his face and a gloomy expression.
He glanced at the embarrassed Luo Hao and snorted coldly: "Kid, what are you doing? You can jump rope like this, you are really a talent!"
At this moment, Manager Yagi saw Luo Hao and ran over quickly, his face full of excitement: "Luo Hao, good news!
The list of players for the East Japan Lightweight Rookie Championship Elimination Tournament has been announced."
As soon as Manager Yagi finished speaking, the entire boxing gym became excited.
Everyone's eyes turned to him, and they ran over to surround him.
For a moment, the boxing gym was filled with noise and Manager Yagi was surrounded by people, so crowded that he couldn't even put his feet on the ground.
Seeing this, President Kamogawa frowned and shouted, "Everyone, go back to practice! Stop standing here and watching the fun!"
His roar was like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz and causing them to scatter like birds and beasts.
Upon seeing this, Manager Yagi quickly posted the list of candidates for the Rookie King elimination tournament on the notice board.
Ten minutes later, Manager Yagi posted the list and left.
President Kamogawa was too lazy to care about them anymore and let them gather around the notice board and talk.
"For the East Japan Lightweight Rookie Championship Elimination Tournament, there are a total of 20 people on the roster, and there are four seeded boxers.
Seeded boxers get a bye in the first round. ” Someone read the list aloud.
"The four seeded boxers are Jintai Okamoto from Okamoto Gym in Group A and Kazuo Yamamoto from Ikegami Gym."
"In Group B, Takeo Yoshino of Yoshino Gym and Tateto Kitagawa of Takata Gym."
"Where is Luo Hao?" someone asked anxiously.
"He's here, in Group B." Someone pointed at the name on the list and said, "Luo Hao is lucky. He doesn't have to fight another game like the other four unlucky guys."
"His first opponent is Ryuji Naito, from the Kondo Kyogyakarta." Someone else added.
"If Luo Hao can win the first match, he will face the top-seeded boxer Kitagawa Toshito of Takata Gym in the second match."
"Don't be so optimistic. Those who can enter the Rookie King Tournament are all masters. If you want to advance, you have to fight hard with them!"
A large group of people gathered in front of the notice board, talking a lot.
Luo Hao stood outside the crowd, staring quietly at the names on the list.
"Jintai Okamoto is a seeded boxer. If I want to win the championship, I will most likely meet him or Kazuo Yamamoto in the final."
In the office, President Kamogawa straightened his suit, put on his hat, and prepared to step out of the door.
"President, where are you going?" Manager Yagi asked curiously.
“I went to Kondo’s gym, I have some acquaintances there.
I'm just sitting here doing nothing, so I might as well go find out the information about the opponent that Xiaogui will face in the first match." After saying this, President Yachuan left in a hurry.
In the office building of Boxing Fan Magazine, Fujii's office is piled with documents.
"Da da da..." The crisp sound of typing never stops.
“This year marks the Rookie of the Year season again.
Many well-known boxers have made their mark through this brutal rookie king elimination tournament.
Just like the world middleweight champion Mamoru Takamura, who was also the champion of the Rookie King Tournament that year and has since become a sensation.
This year's lightweight rookie king elimination tournament is a bit special. The boxers from the East Japan region are extremely strong, far exceeding previous years.
Among them, four seeded boxers are particularly eye-catching: Okamoto Jintai, who comes from a boxing family and is known as a boxing genius;
Kazuo Yamamoto, from Ikegami Boxing Gym, has a sharp jab like a blade;
Yoshino Takeo, also from a boxing family, is known for his iron-clad defense;
Finally, there is Toshito Kitagawa, from Takata Gym, who is hailed as a boxer with championship potential.
These people are undoubtedly the four most watched seeded boxers in this lightweight rookie king elimination tournament.
Personally, I also have boxers that I like, and I am particularly interested in Luo Hao from Kamogawa Boxing Gym.
His record currently stands at 2 wins, 2 KOs.
Luo Hao not only has a calm mind, but his powerful punches also have terrifying dominance.
It is worth mentioning that he is also the junior brother of the current world middleweight boxing champion Mamoru Takamura, the former Japanese featherweight boxing champion Ippo Kuronouchi, and the current Japanese featherweight boxing champion Manabu Itagaki. He can be said to have a famous teacher.
Behind him, he has three master-level boxing champions as his solid backing, and every step of his growth is bathed in the wisdom and light of his predecessors.
It can be said that Luo Hao has the blood of champions flowing in his body.
I have great expectations for him, and hope that he can shine even brighter in this competition.
His first opponent was Ryuji Naito from Kondo Kyoku.
Ryuji Naito is a very strong yet low-key and introverted boxer.
His record is equally brilliant - 3 wins, 3 KOs, and every victory is breathtaking.
There is always a keen insight in Ryuji Naito's eyes.
His ability to predict his opponent's punches was almost astonishing.
His heavy punches are also very lethal. Once they hit, they can instantly make the opponent lose their fighting ability.
These two powerful boxers are about to stage a fierce battle.
Among these outstanding strong men, no one can predict who will be the champion of tomorrow.
Let's look forward to the East Japan Rookie Championship. "
The next day, when Fujii gently placed the first draft titled "Fierce Fight! East Japan Rookie King Contest" on the editor-in-chief's desk.
The editor-in-chief had a look of grief on his face and shouted impatiently, "Oh no! No, no, absolutely not!
Fujii! We should focus on the four top-seeded boxers. Who is this Luo Hao?
Why did you write about him?
You really disappoint me so much, I'm about to explode with anger!
Get out of here and reflect on your actions!"
After being scolded severely, Fujii walked out of the editor-in-chief's office in disgrace.
"This old stubborn, blockheaded man is stubborn and has no foresight at all..."
