Chapter 14 Steadily Improving Strength
The stance that Luo Hao is now adopting is the traditional boxing stance, also known as the rookie stance, which is also the most commonly used stance.
Place your feet shoulder-width apart, take a step forward with your left foot, slightly lift your right heel, bend your knees slightly, and keep your center of gravity between your legs; bend your elbows and keep them close to your ribs; keep your fists parallel to your cheeks, with your palms facing inward.
Extend your left hand slightly forward and place your right hand close to your cheek; tighten your jaw and look at your opponent; relax your shoulders and slightly hunch forward; face your opponent in a slightly sideways posture.
[Popular Science: The four main stances in professional boxing.
1. Traditional stance
Most world boxing champions will choose this method. If you watch the matches of Alvarez, Golovkin, and Joshua, they basically use the traditional stance. Usually in the boxing gym, the coach will first teach you this method.
2. Philly Shell
Also known as the shoulder-lifting defense, it is also translated into Chinese as "bell hand", "killer style", and "assassin style". It is also a variant of the cross-style defense. The advantages of this posture are: the shoulder and back hand provide a solid defense for the boxer, and it is easier to use rotation and diving to remove or avoid the opponent's blows, and use the back hand to counterattack. However, if you are not a master, please do not try it. The undefeated boxing champion Mayweather is the signature figure of the Philadelphia Shell Stand.
3. Peekaboo
Advantages: Flexible dodging, constant shaking increases the difficulty of hitting the opponent, and you can quickly counterattack with an uppercut after dodging;
Disadvantages: large consumption of physical energy, poor field of vision (blocked on two sides by the gloves), and many loopholes in defense if dodging fails.
This stance is suitable for boxers who are short and have a low center of gravity. Mike Tyson is the spokesperson for this stance.
4. Hands down “I won’t raise my hands”
This is really amazing. I don't hold my guard, I just attack, with god-like confidence. If you play well, you are the "God of Boxing" Roy Jones Jr. If you play badly, haha, if you don't defend, your opponent will beat you into a pig's head.
It is worth mentioning that when boxing champion Ali was excited, he also stood in this awesome posture.
Of course, there are definitely more than just four boxing stances in the world, those are just less popular, so I won’t go into detail here. 】
Luo Hao slowly raised his fist and calmly assumed a traditional boxing stance. The momentum seemed completely different from last time.
Scarface's eyes met with another bad youth, and they both felt a little confused: Why is this kid so different today? He seems to have become even stronger?
"Boss, this kid seems a little weird, did he secretly learn some new tricks?" The gangster lowered his voice, appearing quite nervous.
Scarface frowned and retorted disdainfully: "Humph, it's just pretense.
Let's just go up to him and teach him a lesson, and see what other tricks he can come up with!"
After that, in order to boost morale, Scarface rushed forward while shouting strangely: "Ola Ola..." The sound was harsh and echoed in the deserted alley.
Seeing the two men rushing towards him aggressively, Luo Hao remained calm and continued to move steadily towards the scarred man according to the planned plan.
Finally, the three of them met at one place.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The sounds of fists and feet hitting each other came one after another. Although Luo Hao was hit by several punches, there was no sign of pain on his face.
After all, he was a real sparring partner in the boxing gym, and this little fight was just a tickle to him.
Luo Hao silently recited the rhythm taught by Coach Murunouchi: "One, two, three."
His left fist hit Scarface's face like lightning, and his right fist followed closely with unstoppable force.
Finally, a left hook hit Scarface's abdomen unexpectedly.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Each of Luo Hao's punches was powerful and heavy, with a whistling sound, and went straight towards the scarred face.
Although the first two punches were blocked by Scarface's arms, the third punch hit his right rib solidly, where the liver is located.
“Ah…uh…” Scarface screamed, knelt on one knee, covered his abdomen with both hands, and his face instantly turned pale as paper.
He closed his eyes tightly, saliva overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and the pain made his facial features distorted as if they were about to be deformed.
Luo Hao succeeded in his attack and quickly retreated, observing the changes on the field with a cold gaze.
He appears to be as calm as water, but in fact his heart is as turbulent as a raging tide.
The power of this punch was far beyond his expectations, and even he was shocked.
If it were in a boxing ring, this punch wouldn't be so powerful.
Don't forget, this is a street fight in the alley!
It is common in bare-knuckle fights to break a person's bones with one punch.
Luo Hao saw that Scarface was in so much pain that he couldn't even kneel, so he just curled up on the ground.
The bad youth nearby saw this scene, his eyes widened like bells, fear and confusion intertwined on his face, and he was at a loss what to do.
Seeing that his opponent was no longer able to fight, Luo Hao relaxed his tense nerves.
He exhaled lightly, squatted down, picked up the schoolbag on the ground, put it on his shoulder, then walked briskly and disappeared at the end of the alley.
During class that day, Luo Hao kept thinking that the three-dimensional striking technique taught by Coach Murunouchi was so powerful. He could beat up the bad guys one by one with one punch. It was so exciting!
After school, Luo Hao rushed into the boxing gym, but found that coach Murunouchi was not in the gym.
He had originally planned to ask the coach to teach him a few more moves, but now he could only sigh helplessly.
Although disappointed, Luo Hao was not discouraged.
He quickly put on protective gear and a helmet and started sparring with a boxer.
This sparring session allowed Luo Hao to feel his own progress.
His punches were more powerful and his stamina was greatly improved.
In the past, he would be exhausted after four rounds of sparring. Now he is much better. He can recover by just sitting there, drinking some water and taking a rest.
At this time, President Yachuan came over and said with a smile: "Luo Hao, your strength has improved very quickly!
I saw you practicing with Coach Murouchou yesterday, hitting moving targets. You had a good sense of rhythm!"
Then, President Kamogawa said, “Yesterday I taught you the oblique hook punch, also known as the liver-blasting punch.
Today I will teach you the uppercut, come on stage!"
After Luo Hao got on the boxing ring, although the others didn't gather around him, their eyes were all focused on the ring.
"Luo Hao, watch my demonstration and then do it."
"Okay!" Luo Hao replied respectfully.
“Lean your upper body forward slightly, bend your knees slightly, and then pull your fists to your sides with your wrists facing upward.
Then get into this position, squat down on your knees, and then push up in one breath, allowing your body and hands to attack from the bottom up. "
Chairman Kamogawa broke down the movements and demonstrated them.
"Do you understand? Luo Hao."
Luo Hao scratched the back of his head with his boxing gloves and said, "I think I understand. I'll show you how to do it, President!"
President Kamogawa nodded: "Okay!"
