"Box!"
At this time the second round begins.
Zhou Quan continued to move around, looking for opportunities very actively.
Golota is right in the middle, stopping with stillness.
Zhou Quan would test with jabs from time to time, or attack with combos of front and rear hands, but Golota now understands his precise striking and dodge abilities, so he does not easily counterattack with punches. He focuses on defense and is very capable of carrying it. He has a lot of experience in beating, so he can't open up the situation for a while.
The second round ended with Zhou Quan as the main attacker and Golota as the main defender. Because it was not exciting enough, Golota received very enthusiastic boos and a warning for not being aggressive in attacking.
At the beginning of the third round, Zhou Quan still took the initiative to attack, while Golota also played a little more aggressively.
The reason why he was active was because in the first two rounds, Zhou Quan had three effective strikes, but he had none. If he was not more active, he would definitely lose in the end.
"Bang hee bang..."
After dodging, Zhou Quan seized the opportunity for his opponent to counterattack, and Zhou Quan took the opportunity to quickly hit a combination of punches, like rain hitting banana trees, which shattered Golota's arm. Fortunately, he was indeed strong enough, and before the arm was opened, Got rid of Zhou Quan in time.
"Attack! Attack!"
Golota's coach was a little anxious, because Golota had not yet scored any effective blows, and his opponent had already hit him four times. If the fight continued like this, if he could not get a KO or TKO, he would lose.
"Attack, you loser!"
"Attack, Polish bad boy!"
"Go up and fight, you idiot!"
Barkley, Jordan and a bunch of other guys who bought Golota were yelling in the audience.
"Poles, attack attack!"
"Don't pretend to be dead, Polish boy, attack quickly!"
Stallone and a bunch of other people were also yelling.
Zhou Quan also became a little impatient, put down the hugger, and kept shaking his head at Golota.
"Oh, the Iron Fist is starting to provoke. Do the Poles have the courage to attack?" Ross Harveys shouted excitedly.
"Come on!"
No matter who you support, everyone shouts together.
"Damn Chinese guy, do you think you are Ali?"
Golota was extremely angry. He walked towards Zhou Quan step by step, holding his fists in a fist.
Zhou Quan didn't take a step back or hold an argument, he just stood there, making Golota's anger even more intense. After getting closer, he quickly started to attack.
"Straight forward and straight back, right swing followed by a heavy straight punch..." Jack Jerome's lips trembled continuously and he shouted loudly.
"Hit the air! Hit the air! Hit the air, hit the air..." Ross Harveys also shouted continuously.
"Hit the air, hit the air, hit the air..."
Under the boxing ring, Stallone and other Hollywood boxing enthusiasts were full of excitement and adrenaline, and their blood was already rushing to their heads. They all yelled at the stage.
"Oh oh oh……"
The continuous unprotected dodges caused the roar of the Great Western Forum Arena to reach its peak, and the adrenaline of the 20,000 people was already bursting.
"Here we go again!"
Seeing Zhou Quan continuously dodging without any protection, seeing Golota hitting the air continuously, Oakley, Larry Johnson, and Karl Malone trembled in their hearts, and a feeling of confusion suddenly surged in their memories. It's so profound.
Golota was shocked. He had seen Zhou Quan's dodge ability in the first two rounds, but now, this ability shocked him. He still couldn't hit this unprotected dodge, and he was asked to fight no matter what. Go down?
"Seven punches, ten punches, consecutive hits, twelve punches, oh retreat, the Poles retreat." Ross Harveys roared excitedly.
"Counterattack! Iron Fist counterattacked!" Jack Jerome shouted immediately.
Golota was not an amateur boxer like Larry Johnson. After more than ten punches in a row, he retreated decisively, ending the attack and no longer wasting energy.
"Bang bang bang..."
But Zhou Quan immediately turned to defense and counterattacked, quickly followed up with his feet, and struck with three consecutive jab attacks, hitting Golota's frame. The opponent kept retreating, until he retreated to the guardrail, without even a chance to get around it. nor.
"call!"
After three jabs, Zhou Quan twisted his waist and fired a left uppercut, punching through Golota's frame. Fortunately, Golota reacted quickly and tilted his head back to avoid the punch.
But the next moment, Zhou Quan's combination punch attack started, and he punched three times in a row. Although there was no effective blow, Golota was forced to cross his arms and enter a complete defensive state.
"It's a pity that Iron Fist didn't punch hard to clear the way!" Ross Harveys sighed.
"Oh oh oh……"
Zhou Quan's extremely powerful offensive style made the Great Western Forum Arena even louder and louder.
At this time, after forcing his opponent into a complete defensive state, Zhou Quan quickly took a breath and started the next wave of offensive.
"Bang!"
A precise front-hand straight punch hit the middle of the opponent's left and right arms, causing the opponent's arms to loosen. The next moment, the back-hand straight punch hit the same position again.
It was so precise that with two straight punches, a gap was finally opened in Golota's frame.
"Straight punch combo!"
"opened!"
Ross Harveys and Jack Jerome shouted simultaneously.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, Zhou Quan twisted his waist and punched, hitting the open position with a heavy straight punch with his right hand, and hit Golota's mouth with a punch.
Golota screamed in pain after being beaten, his head tilted back sharply, and was bounced back by the guardrail rope.
"Punch"
Jack Jerome shouted.
"Bang bang bang..."
In order to avoid being hugged by his opponent, Zhou Quan immediately took half a step back, first opened a little distance, twisted his waist, waved his fists, and kept hitting his opponent on the head.
Golota is not a weakling. He desperately pulled back the arms and leaned down to lower his height, reducing the defensive area and preventing his opponent from having a chance to hit him hard.
He had withstood the heavy punch just now. Although blood was pouring from his mouth, it was not serious and his chin was not hit. As long as he continued to withstand this blow, Zhou Quan would definitely need time to breathe. That was his time. Timing of attack.
Zhou Quan punched the frame several times in a row, all hitting the head, attracting the opponent's defense to the head, leaving the ribs empty. He suddenly hit a right hook and hit the left rib. Neutral.
"Bang!"
Amid the dull blows, Golota screamed in pain, and the severe pain caused his arms to loosen. The next moment, Zhou Quan's precise blows followed one after another.
"Bang!"
From the gap between the arms, a right straight punch hit Golota's right eye, making stars appear in his opponent's eyes.
"Heavy blow! Heavy blow!" Ross Harveys roared continuously.
"KOKOKO..."
Great Western Forum Arena screamed wildly.
"call!"
Zhou Quan took the opportunity to get some air.
At this time, his physical energy was almost exhausted by the wave, but at this critical moment, he must seize the good opportunity of KO and continue his attack.
Golota breathed with his mouth wide open, hugged his head with his arms, half-bent, and moved to the left along the guardrail to get away from Zhou Quan.
But his head was already dizzy and he moved slowly. By this time, Zhou Quan's ventilation ended and he lost the chance to escape.
"Bang bang!"
With two straight punches in a row, Zhou Quan once again knocked away his opponent's hold, and he saw his opponent's face.
"call!"
The third punch was a jab straight to the face.
Golota had not lost his protective ability yet, and instinctively tightened his left and right arms.
However, Zhou Quan retracted his jab instantly, then twisted his waist and waved his arm, and hit him with a left hook. Golota, who tightened his left and right arms, had no time to react.
"Bang!"
In an instant, a punch hit the opponent's right temple, causing Golota to grunt and swing his head sharply to the left.
"Punch!"
Jack Jerome's roar sounded like an alarm.
The stage manager's eyes were fixed on Golota. At this moment, he suddenly rushed forward, pushed Zhou Quan away, and stood in front of Golota. At the same time, he shouted: "Stop! Stop..."
"Bang!"
After the cut, Golota fell on the ring. A large blood bag was bulging out of his right temple at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“KKKKKKKK…KO!”
Ross Harveys stood up abruptly, grabbed the microphone and let out a long, sharp hiss, which ended with a loud shout.
"Tekken seized the opportunity to launch an offensive frenzy in the third round. At 2 minutes and 21 seconds, Tekken Slayer KOed the Polish bad boy!" Jack Jerome shouted excitedly.
Ross Harveys then shouted excitedly: "It's unbelievable, you know? Do you know? The Polish bad boy didn't have any effective strikes, not one effective hit with the Iron Fist.
Oh my God, I'm sure that Iron Fist is the next Ali and Iron Michael, as long as he is willing to devote himself to professional boxing, he can do it, yes, I am sure. "
"Oh oh oh……"
The entire Great Western Forum Arena was in a state of excitement.
"Yeah yeah yeah..."
Stallone and a group of other boxing-crazy stars were waving their fists excitedly in the audience, even more excited than Zhou Quan, who KOed his opponent.
The chairman of the WBC was at the scene. At this time, he was extremely excited and arranged four boxing matches for Iron Fist. It was not that he valued Iron Fist's boxing prowess, but just an idle move. But now Iron Fist's performance made him feel huge. surprise.
The PPV of this back-up match actually sold 350,000 copies, which is a huge surprise for a back-up match.

In New York, David Stern also watched the game. The result made him a little worried. He was carefully building the east-west situation between Jordan and Zhou Quan. Will he go bankrupt? What if Zhou Quan runs away?

That night, Roger Philippe threw a grand celebration party for Zhou Quan, and all the celebrities who were watching the game were invited.
Zhou Quan's wish came true. After the party, he took away Julia Roberts who was half drunk, half pushed and half drunk. The two of them went beyond friends that night, but they both understood that it was just an adult's game.
This battle allowed Zhou Quan to replace Andrew Golota in the WBC world rankings. He jumped from a few hundred places to the 22nd place in the WBC heavyweight world rankings, and became a top professional boxing heavyweight boxer.
At the same time, his dodge ability was also recognized by the professional boxing community, because in this fight, Golota did not hit a single effective blow throughout the fight.
This is a very magical and terrifying ability, because Ali, who has excellent dodge ability, has been hit in the head more than 29,000 times in his career.
Of course, no one thinks that Zhou Quan will never be hit, because this is his real first professional boxing match.
It is certain that after this, his technical characteristics will be studied repeatedly by his opponents.
This battle also made Zhou Quan's reputation as a cross-border madman shine brighter, and his popularity and influence also increased a lot, and his influence completed his real break out of the circle.
“The first cross-border player in professional sports, Iron Fist lives up to his name.” Los Angeles Daily News.
"Great crossover maniac, looking forward to Iron Fist one day making his world championship challenge." The Seattle Times.
"Iron Fist, the next Ali!" Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The next day, the 3rd, numerous media outlets rushed to report on it.
"Iron Fist, Ferrari's contract is settled."
On the evening of the 4th, Roger Philippe delivered good news.
"Secretly, it turns out you were talking about Ferrari!" Only then did Zhou Quan understand what Phillip meant last time.
"Of course, Jordan's Ferrari was a gift from the manufacturer, and yours should be too." Philip said proudly.
On August 5, Zhou Quan signed his twelfth first-tier and top brand endorsement contract and received a red Ferrari sports car as a gift from the manufacturer.
After three days of rest in Los Angeles, accompanied by Philip, Zhou Quan and Rodman arrived in Seattle on October 7.
His sports car was also flown over and delivered to his villa.
Philip had already helped him buy a villa for more than 3.2 million U.S. dollars. All the money earned from the last boxing match was spent, and after deducting the tax payable, more than 700,000 U.S. dollars were needed.
It covers an area of 6.5 acres and has a construction area of 1,500 square meters. It has 8 bedrooms, 10 toilets and bathrooms, two reception rooms, three garages that can accommodate seven cars, a movie room, a billiards room, indoor golf, and a barber's room. Game room, underground wine cellar, two indoor and outdoor swimming pools, outdoor tennis courts, outdoor basketball courts, indoor fitness room, etc. are all available.
Seattle covers an area of 370 square kilometers, with a water surface area of 152 square kilometers. It has several very famous lakes, such as Lake Washington, Green Lake, etc. His villa is on the shore of Lake Washington. It is said that Bill Gates’ multi-million villa is also Tucked away on the shores of Lake Washington.
"Zhou, how are you?"
Standing outside the villa, Roger Philippe looked at the villa and then at the clear blue lake not far away, and asked excitedly.
“It’s great, this is where people live.”
Zhou Quan feels refreshed both physically and mentally. The living environment here is 10,000 times better than in Detroit. No wonder Bill Gates lives here.
As far as the eye can see, there is an endless lake with an area of nearly 90 square kilometers. It is as vast as the sea. The other side of the lake cannot be seen at all. The lake water is very clear.
The sky is a blue sky, not the always gray sky in Detroit. The sight can be infinitely high, which is very refreshing.
"When I have money in the future, I will build a private dock here and buy a boat." He said with a smile.
"It's a good idea. But it doesn't cost much and you can do it now." Philip smiled.
"I don't like it here."
At this time, an inappropriate voice came out, but it was Rodman.
"Why?" Zhou Quan asked curiously.
Rodman chuckled and said, "I like lively places."
"Then you can live in the city." Zhou Quan suggested.
Rodman said excitedly: "The SuperSonics management has notified my agent and I can renew my contract in advance immediately."
"How big is the contract?" Zhou Quan asked.
"Eleven million in three years." Rodman said excitedly.
"Nearly four million a year, almost the same as Jordan's, not bad." Zhou Quan smiled.
Rodman smiled and said: "I'm not comparing myself to him. His next contract will definitely be the same as yours, or even higher than yours."
Zhou Quan laughed, Rodman was good at this, he could understand the situation.
"Zhou, let's go in and take a look." Philip shouted.
"OK." Zhou Quan said.
Entering the villa from the front door, you are greeted by a very modern-style building complex, with large floor-to-ceiling windows and bright decoration style, which is very eye-catching.
Philip introduced: "This villa was built by Amway Real Estate Company two years ago. It was just decorated in the first half of the year. Zhou, you are the first homeowner. If the decoration is not satisfactory, I will notify them to redecorate it."
"Don't bother, I'm very satisfied." Zhou Quan smiled and nodded.
"Your Cadillacs, Ferraris, and Ford pickups are all over there in garages one and two."
Philip pointed to a garage on the left, and then pointed to a two-story auxiliary building on the right and said: "That's a house for workers over there. It has ten rooms, all of which can be occupied."
Zhou Quan took a look and saw that the workers' room was also very beautifully decorated, in the same style as the entire villa.
Phillip pointed to the back of the house and added: "The front yard is not big, but the backyard is big. There is a forest and an artificial lake. The basketball court and tennis court are in the backyard. You can go around the garage and cars can pass by."
Zhou Quan turned around and thought it was really good. He really liked this modern style.
"Crack, click, click..."
He took out the prepared camera, took a few shots, and gave the film to Philip, asking him to develop it and send it back to his country. He wanted to bring his family over to live with him for a while after his younger siblings went on winter vacation to celebrate the New Year together.
It is said that he has not celebrated the New Year with his family for several years and misses it very much.
"Zhou, we need to hire some workers, chefs, gardeners, and security guards. What do you want from them?" Philip asked.
"There is no criminal record, no experience in Malaysia, etc., no alcohol or drugs, no racial discrimination, university degree, similar work experience, preferably someone who is friendly to the Chinese." Zhou Quan said without hesitation. .
Philip scratched his head and said: "Some of these requirements are difficult to check. I guess Chinese people are the most suitable."
"Chinese can do it too, preferably those who can speak Chinese. It will be more convenient for my parents to come." Zhou Quan said.
The three stayed in the villa for a while and then went to the hotel.
