American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 270 Sydney Olympics (Bonus Chapter 1 for Saber09, the Alliance Leader)
July, Sydney, Australia Stadium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final of the 91kg men's heavyweight boxing competition at the 27th Summer Olympic Games is now underway! The two fighters are ready and about to enter the ring! The two competitors are Felix Savon, a 33-year-old veteran from Cuba, and Roy Black, a dark horse from America who just celebrated his 19th birthday!"

The noise at the competition venue made it impossible to hear the voices of those around them. Allen and Lambert had to shout to talk to Roy, and the two middle-aged men's faces turned bright red.

However, the reason their faces were so red was not because they were shouting, but simply because they were too excited.

Although Allen and Lambert believed a few months ago that Roy had the talent to stand on the highest stage of amateur boxing in the world, they seemed even more excited than Roy when he actually did it in July.

Now, Roy is just one fight away from the highest level of amateur boxing, and his two coaches have to give him careful instructions, since his opponent this time is no pushover.

"Felix Savon has won the men's 91kg heavyweight title in 1992 and 1996. If he wins again this year, he will become the second person to achieve a three-peat in the men's heavyweight Olympic Games, just like his predecessor Theofello Stevenson!"

Cuba has long been a powerhouse in amateur boxing because the country's system does not allow boxers to participate in professional competitions, resulting in a large number of talented amateur boxers.

It's a bit like the table tennis team at Tokyo University; domestic competitions are even more difficult than international ones.

In another world, Felix Savon achieved the feat of winning three consecutive Olympic gold medals in the men's 91kg weightlifting event, so this would definitely be the strongest boxing opponent Roy has ever faced.

Well, he was just the strongest opponent in a boxing match; he wouldn't even rank among all the enemies.

So Roy wasn't nervous at all, and even had the mind to take out his phone to send text messages to his friends and family.

Roy's run to the finals at the Sydney Olympics caused a sensation in Fallstown. It's estimated that the entire town is now glued to their TVs watching his match, and many well-off families have even traveled to the stadium to watch him play.

For example, Roy's parents, Nidi's parents, and the women around Roy.

Basically, everyone else came except for those who couldn't come due to work, such as Saltana and Elena, or those who couldn't leave school, such as the four members of the Apocalypse Society and Emma.

It's just like a team building activity!

Fortunately, not all of these women were gathered together, otherwise it would have been too chaotic if Roy's parents or Nidi's parents had seen them.

Jennifer and Neddy sat with Roy's parents and Neddy's parents, and the Parker family and Nancy were also sitting next to this large group of people.

After the Crystal Lake incident, Ashley and Nancy's relationship improved rapidly, after all, they had been comrades-in-arms in the past.

So when the Parker family decided to come to Sydney to watch Roy's game, they invited Nancy to come along.

As for Heather, Penny sat with Dalia and her daughter, Amy, and the succubus Ellesa.

Elareza, who is usually quite energetic, has been dozing off in this lively setting, as if she hadn't slept well.

The remaining one is Claire, a fighting competition enthusiast.

Claire, who loves watching combat sports, naturally wouldn't miss Roy's Olympic gold medal victory.

However, Claire came to Australia alone, which made her seem somewhat isolated and also rather dangerous.

The safety situation in Australia is not very good!
Roy originally wanted Claire to come with Jennifer, since the two had met once, but there were too many people on Jennifer's side, and the beautiful doctor felt a little embarrassed, so she came by plane alone.

Watching Roy's fingers move so fast that they were practically blurring the keyboard, Allen and Lambert, standing nearby, were quite exasperated.

"Roy, are you listening?"

Roy casually agreed.

"Mmm, I've been listening the whole time."

Allen could only helplessly continue explaining the tactics, but Roy let it go in one ear and out the other.

"...Roy Black is the biggest surprise of this Olympic boxing competition, the youngest boxer in history to reach the men's heavyweight boxing final..."

Although you can register for the Olympics at the age of 18, it's rare to see someone so young standing on the stage to challenge for the world championship in other individual events, unless it's a sport like track and field that relies purely on talent.

Even Roy's current rival, Felix Savon, only won his first Olympic gold medal at the age of 21.

Don't underestimate these two years; they are a crucial period for honing your boxing skills.

However, Roy is different. He can crush all his opponents with his physical abilities alone, and he is determined to win this Olympics.

Especially now that the gaze of death has disappeared.

In the final battle of the Silent Hill incident, Roy helped Death take revenge on Samael, thus removing the curse of Death from him.

Furthermore, the Death Eye that grew on Roy's chest suddenly crystallized, eventually turning into a huge black cat's eye stone.

Unlike other black cat's eye stones, this cat's eye stone has a dark red light band in the center, which is very special.

If Roy grips the cat's eye stone tightly, he can feel the power of death and the power of Samael's rage contained within it.

It is likely that the residual power of Death before leaving Roy's body, along with the power absorbed from Samael, condensed into this magical cat's eye stone.

However, Roy had not yet found a way to use the cat's eye stone, so he made a metal ring to hold the stone in place and made it into a pendant to wear around his neck.

I occasionally take it off and play with it for a bit, and it feels pretty good.

(That's pretty much it)

"Alright, Roy, we've said what we needed to say. Actually, we know that with your abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for you to win this victory. Perhaps it's just an old man's anxiety."

Roy looked up at Allen, who looked somewhat dejected.

Allen Berg probably felt he wasn't involved enough in this championship, that he was completely carried by Roy, so he was a bit disappointed.

This is unlike Lambert, whose skill level was only average to begin with; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up as a high school boxing coach. Therefore, he doesn't mind winning by default, and might even prefer to do so more easily. Roy needs to boost Allen's morale, as he has many boxing-related matters that require the help of this well-connected college boxing coach.

Especially since Roy will be starting at UCLA in the second half of the year, Allen will have many things to deal with, both in NCAA competitions and at the school.

"Coach Allen, try to think more positively! That's life. Maybe it's all part of God's plan. All you have to do is accept God's gifts, not reject them!"

It must be said that America's use of God as a pretext really worked, and Allen's emotions quickly returned to calm.

"You're right, maybe it's all God's arrangement! Alright Roy, let's take that damn championship!"

The three men put their hands together for a final pep talk and encouragement.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, now that we've introduced the two fighters, we can see they've stepped into the ring. I have a feeling this will be a classic match between a super rookie and a veteran, perhaps even changing the landscape of world boxing for the next decade or so! So viewers who just switched to this channel, please don't change the channel, be sure to watch this match to the end!"

The process of a boxing match is largely the same, but since it's the stage for the Olympic finals, there's no need for the referee to repeat the rules and taboos.

The referee simply gestured for Roy and Felix to bump fists.

With his dark skin, Felix cautiously observed Roy. Now that they had reached the finals, he naturally wouldn't underestimate his opponent.

Moreover, Roy's series of amazing performances in the knockout stage quickly made him the most dazzling star of the summer, even overshadowing many veteran sports stars.

After all, he's so handsome and a great fighter, he's bound to sell a lot of tickets.

If Roy really wins the Olympic gold medal, Hollywood might want to cast him in a movie. With such a huge following, why not capitalize on it?

Therefore, Felix has also studied Roy in depth.

Although Roy played few games, he still left behind a lot of video footage.

As a result, Felix became increasingly alarmed as he studied the case. Although Roy had fought very few matches and his opponents varied greatly in skill level, ranging from high school students to college students to veteran amateur boxers, Roy won almost all of them by knockout and never fought a second round.

In amateur boxing, especially in heavyweight boxing, to be able to do that is absolutely terrifying.

After all, amateur boxing matches require the wearing of protective gear, so even a boxing champion of Tyson's caliber performed very poorly in amateur matches, and even lost confidence in boxing at one point.

Roy is already this terrifying at only 19 years old; how frightening will he be in a few years?
If Felix knew that Roy was suppressing his power to play, would he be even more desperate?

In short, Felix, who had already won two Olympic gold medals, was extremely serious at this moment, and he regarded this game as the most difficult game of his career.

As for Roy, he wasn't so serious; he went through Felix's physical test data in his mind.

Standing at 1.96 meters tall, with a wingspan of 2.10 meters and a weight of 92 kilograms, this physique is quite outstanding for boxing.

Don't think that boxing doesn't value physique. Strength is important for how far a boxer can go, but height and reach are equally important.

If Tyson had been a bit taller, combined with his explosive power, he probably wouldn't have been defeated during his prime.

However, similarly, if Tyson hadn't been short, his fighting style wouldn't have been so unique.

Roy is currently 1.91 meters tall with a 2.06-meter wingspan and weighs a standard 91 kilograms. He is slightly shorter than Felix, but the difference is not significant.

How can we bring this final match to a perfect close?
Dangdang Dangdang!
The bell rang, signaling the official start of the competition.

Felix immediately threw a punch at Roy, partly to prevent Roy from launching a preemptive attack, and partly to test Roy's strength.

Watching countless match videos can never compare to experiencing it firsthand. After all, the skill gap between Roy's opponents in those videos was enormous, and Felix didn't even recognize many of them.

Roy easily dodged the jab with a sliding step, which made Felix's heart skip a beat.

Felix realized that Roy had dodged his punch perfectly in terms of speed and angle, making him understand that Roy's physical abilities were indeed superior to his own.

But this is not surprising. Felix is ​​already 33 years old. At this age, no matter how well he takes care of himself, his physical condition will definitely start to decline. So this Olympics may very well be the last Olympics in which he can win a medal.

After testing Roy's agility, Felix prepared to follow the original plan and use his extensive experience in major competitions to defeat Roy through a defensive counter-attacking strategy.

Well, that's a great idea, but Felix didn't know there's an old saying at Tokyo University: "A novice can beat a master with a novice's punches."

Roy was a little confused as Felix went into a defensive stance after throwing a punch. But since his opponent wasn't throwing punches, he had to throw punches himself. They couldn't just stand there staring at each other, could they?
So Roy threw a jab, the punch landing perfectly straight without any warning, as if he hadn't used much force.

However, this seemingly simple jab almost shattered Felix's guard.

Felix was shocked. He had not underestimated Roy's strength at all, and had even mentally overestimated Roy's strength, focusing all his efforts on defense!

Even so, he was almost knocked out of his stance by Roy's simple jab. If Roy had thrown a full-force punch, how would he have been able to block it?
There was no time for Felix to think, because Roy's second punch had already been thrown, a left hook that struck his right arm.

This time, Felix could no longer block Roy's punches, and his stance was broken, exposing his chin.

Needless to say, Roy then threw his third punch, which was also the last punch of the match—a swift and powerful uppercut, like a hammer.

boom!
The punch landed squarely on Felix's chin, sending him visibly airborne, albeit only a few centimeters. The scene was still breathtaking.

The 196-centimeter-tall giant crashed to the ground, and the referee immediately began counting down.

Roy ignored the fallen Felix. He had already calculated the power of his punch, which was enough to put Felix to sleep for a while, so Roy started waving to the audience in celebration.

Ten seconds later.

"Let's congratulate Roy Black on becoming the youngest 91kg champion in Olympic history! This young man has a bright future ahead of him; the sky's the limit!"
