Chapter 21 - Plan to take the belt

Coach have you seen 'his' matches?

I have.

Then how do i counter him?

Ahh "Sam's mouth was left open".

"Rob patiently waited for his response".

By good jabs and footwork.

Ehh "Rob was disappointed in the coach response" just by sticking to the rule book?

That's what I would have said if 'he' was a normal boxer but 'he' is the champ his fists rule the whole europe no man has made him taste defeat.

Not yet I will make him taste bitter defeat.

That's the spirit you have reach and height advantage but Julius is notoriously known for using his opponent's advantage to their weakness you have to be extreamly careful just one bad combo and it's all over.

I can't let him get into my 'zone'.

You're wrong with arms as long as you the entire ring is your striking zone you just have to have aim and footwork.

I know how to jab I know how to dodge but U don't know how to move in the ring what should i do?

Circle around while hopping like Muhhamud Ali.

Ali's legendary footwork?

Yes with his long reach extremely long and accurate jab and a footwork that made him look like he had wings. "Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee".

"Sam teaches Rob how to properly float" First get into your opponent's inside with your lead leg second, bring your legs together while hopping onto your front foot third, hop onto your front foot again while swaying your rear foot, forth bring your front foot back to its original positioning.

Like this step, hop, hop, step.

Nice well done this sequence allows you to cover a huge amount of distance with minimum effort and each step is another chance to pivot, accelerate or change direction.

Hehe this is ahh! "Rob hits the ropes and loses his balance" "thmph" Shit!

You forgot to change direction.

I got too into it "Sam gives Rob a helping hand to get back up on his feet". So where do I throw the jab?

On the second where you hop backwards with your front foot to escape in short 'hit and run'.

Hehe that's an evil way to say it but if this gets me the belt I am all in.

While in the Julius's Gym:

"Shu" "Shu" "Shu" That's it step in harder don't back off.

"Julius and coach were training mitts".

Now get into the ring for your sparring.

Ting Ting Ting Round 3 knock out.

Nice now go rest for 5 minutes.

"Julius's coach was trying to make his step in even better to fully utilize his dominant left".

Coach can I have the day off?

You sure? you have an upcoming match and you wanna goof around?

Can't you see I am more than enough "Shu" "Julius shows his powerful left" don't worry I'm not letting go of this belt ever. Now see you tommarrow I have a date.

I don't think I have to worry about him but this new challenger. "Julius's coach analyzes Robert's matches".

What happend Coach? you look stressed.

He- he may be the toughest challenger Julius has faced till now.

Why coach just because he has longer reach than Julius?

No idiot Julius can easily get in close to those long reach out-boxers it's his ability to evolve in every match when you look at his debut and the match after it seems as if they were not the same person.

Maybe there were no tough opponents that could put his true ability to test.

His true ability hmm.

"Tnn" "Tnnn" "Tnmn" "aggressive dialing".

"Ring" "Ring" you have a call?

"Julius checks his phone on his date" it's just my coach.

It it urgent?

No no "Julius cuts the call" I'll call him after our 'special time'. "Ring" again.

You can attend I'll wait.

Thanks I'll be right back "Juluis goes to bathroom to pick up the call" what is it?

Julius your step in.

What about it?

Your step in will lead to your demise.

What are you saying you yourself have taught me this fast step in to get into the opponent's zone and strike them with full force.

Your step will be countered with 'his' chopping right and the faster you will step in the harder 'it' will land.

I'll dodge it.

That won't work his longer reach will adjust to your speed.

You mean? yes he will knock you down if you try to get into his zone.

No way on what certainty are we talking about?

About 1 to 3 if you step in three times he will hit you in one of them.

Then isn't it good?

No that one time will be game over for you.

How? one punch can't close the curtains for me that's nonsense.

Your step in was great against in or out boxers Robert Zangief is a walking bayonet powerful bullet for the long and a sharp knife for close range.You may survive the bullets but the sharp right will be more than enough to send you to the canvas.

"Table #13 your order is ready Sir" Juilus is sure talking his time.

What are you trying to say?

Withdraw we can refuse this fight.

You mean I have to run?

No this is not running this is a tactical temporary retreat we can find a way to defeat him than we can challenge him.

You are telling me the "EBU" Champion to backoff.

Just think about it Julius set your ego and pride aside you have never been hit to the head before we can't expect you to withstand a full power right counter to your head.

From what you are saying is 'He' is the hunter and I am the prey?

No what I am simply saying is you don't have to fight this match it can be post-

It is not easy to fight 32 men and remain

undefeated it is not easy to become the european champion it is not easy to-

Julius I understand that you have to uphold the title of champion I have seen you come all this way to get stronger match after match but the thing is in your current form you are not enough to defend the belt you have to be strong, win like a champ stand proud in the ring after the match not facing down the canvas.

Ok postpone the match I will start my training as soon as possible.

"Julius ends the calls in frustation and walks back to his date".

Your food is ready Julius.

Hm.

What's wrong you look so serious before the phone call you were so relaxed what happened?

Joeline tell me without holding back would you still be with me if I was not a champion?

What are you talking about? I am here for Julius not for the Champ.

Really? "Julius exciting questions".

Hmm "Joeline nods in response".

I- "Julius runs out of words to say to her miss".

I know you don't have to worry even if you lost I will always be with you. "Both exchange their love through their eyes".

Hhm Hehe "Julius laughs in happiness" now how can I lose when I have 'you' by my side I don't think there is any man on this planet that could beat me.

Ofcourse.
