Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

"So Link, everything Amber said about fainting and counting the hours, is it all true?"

At the show, Ms. Elisa asked.

Link smiled, "Maybe we should change the subject, I’m worried Taylor will come after me if she hears this."

Everyone laughed.

"Link, during the Grammy Awards, apart from the incident involving you, Kanye, and Lil, another big thing happened in the music scene. Rihanna and her boyfriend Chris Brown were fighting on the street. Did you see the news?"

Whoopi Goldberg asked.

Link was a bit impressed by her question; it touched on his issue with Kanye and still stayed on topic for the interview—a good question.

He had naturally seen the news about Rihanna and her boyfriend fighting.

Rihanna is a Barbadian singer who debuted in 2005, has released three albums, sold over 10 million copies, and has won two Grammy Awards, making her very famous.

Her boyfriend, Chris Brown, is a well-known African American rapper and a top star in the music industry.

The two had an altercation by the roadside on the eve of the Grammy Awards, leaving Rihanna bruised and unable to meet people; she also missed the ceremony.

Before the Grammy Awards, their fight was the biggest news in the entertainment circle, and Chris Brown was heavily criticized by many.

It wasn’t until Link and Kanye and others had their dispute that the public and media focus shifted to Link.

Sometimes Link wondered if the actions of Lil and others were meant to shield Chris Brown since they had a good relationship and often collaborated on albums.

"Yes, that news was sensational, and I did pay attention to it,"

Link said.

"Link, as a man, how do you view the issue of Chris Brown being violent towards his girlfriend Rihanna?"

Ms. Goldberg asked.

Link said, "My view is consistent with the mainstream opinion, no matter the reason, it’s definitely wrong to hit someone, and it’s even less acceptable to hit someone you love.

I suggest to everyone prone to violence, including men and women, to try boxing. Boxing training involves hitting a punching bag daily, and during the training process, the elements of violence and aggressive traits gradually diminish."

"Really? Why have I heard that people who train in boxing have violent tempers and often end up hitting others?" the host Sunny Hostin said.

"That’s definitely not true. People see boxers fighting often because they are in matches, but the stereotype of them being violent is misplaced. In reality, most boxers are calmer and more tolerant than ordinary people.

On one hand, boxing organizations and sports commissions have explicit rules that boxers cannot physically engage with ordinary people; any violation might lead to their license being revoked or even a ban from competing.

On the other side, boxers train and compete frequently, and also get hit a lot. Their violent tendencies and temperaments are refined through these matches.

If you observe closely, you’ll notice that older boxers have milder temperaments. For them, aggressive tendencies are actually considered a rare quality."

"I can vouch for that,"

Ms. Goldberg said, "I know George Foreman, Larry Holmes, and Holyfield, and these old guys are now like Santa Clauses, always laughing with everyone. According to their wives, no matter how annoying they are, they never lose their temper. They seem like old oxen that had been castrated."

The audience burst into laughter.

Link smiled helplessly; his intention was to redeem his fellow boxers’ image on the show, but Whoopi Goldberg’s description rather seemed slightly overcorrected.

"Boxing is a great sport that not only keeps you fit and helps shed excess fat but also trains your willpower and helps perfect personal character flaws. I recommend anyone interested to give it a try,"

Link said.

"Blake, I’m thinking of taking up boxing. What do you think?"

In the large Beverly Hills mansion, Emma Roberts turned from the TV to ask Blake Lively, who was sitting on the sofa.

"You want to train in boxing?"

Seeing her petite stature, Blake Lively didn’t want to discourage her, "That might be okay, but I think sports like badminton and tennis might suit us girls better."

"Link said that practicing boxing can train willpower and compensate for personality flaws. I want to try boxing,"

Emma Roberts said, clenching her little fists.

"Alright, I support you mentally."

"Thanks, I’ll go learn boxing from Link in a few days."

Emma Roberts said.

"You’re going to learn boxing from Link?"

"Of course, if you’re going to learn boxing, learn from the best,"

Emma said as if it were obvious.

"You’re trying to hit on Link!"

Christine, playing with her phone, said without looking up.

Emma’s cheeks turned red, and she glared at her, "Nonsense, that’s not true!"

Blake Lively looked at her, thinking of Link’s expertise in ’knockouts,’ and couldn’t help but feel worried for her.

"Link, we all know you’ve been dating Miss Taylor Swift. Have you ever had conflicts or disputes, and have you ever gotten physical?"

At the show, Ms. Elisa asked.

Link shook his head slightly, "Of course we have our small disputes like any couple, but when we face them, we sit down and talk it over, and whoever is wrong admits it. I admit fault more often because Taylor is very good at writing songs, one after another. If I don’t admit my mistake, she might write me into her songs, and those songs make me break out in cold sweats."

"Really?"

Ms. Elisa laughed.

"Yes, and when she releases her new album, you’ll see how brilliant she is. She’s a musical genius, can write anything into her songs, and they all turn out to be great. Normally, when we’re together, I love and respect her more, and of course, I would never lay a hand on her."

Link shrugged.

Applause burst from the audience!

"In the course of our conversation, we could also sense Link’s personality, calm, humorous, and polite. I believe such a person would not resort to domestic violence, so Taylor’s fans can rest assured,"

Ms. Goldberg said with a smile to the camera.

"Taylor, has Link ever hit you?"

At the Swift family mansion, Mrs. Andrea asked.

"Him hit me? Of course not, it’d be more likely the other way around."

Taylor glanced at her brother Austin’s homework in her hands. "All wrong, go redo your homework! No TV watching allowed!"

Austin lowered his head, looking dejected.

"You hit Link?"

Mrs. Andrea frowned.

"Uh, no, just occasionally I punch him a few times, on his chest or shoulders. He’s got solid muscles, it doesn’t hurt him at all,"

Taylor gesticulated as she spoke.

"You shouldn’t do that either, Link doesn’t hit you because he’s giving you space, you can’t be too dominant."

"Got it."

Taylor shrugged her shoulders and blinked, looking back at the TV where the host asked Link about his cooking skills. Link confirmed that cooking was one of his hobbies. The host praised him as a good man, and Taylor was very lucky to have a boyfriend like him.

Link responded that having Taylor as a girlfriend made him the luckiest man in the world.

"Ew! Why speak of such things."

Taylor covered her blushing cheeks, saying coyly.

Mrs. Andrea looked at Link on TV – suave, handsome, with a gentle smile, then glanced at the disheveled Taylor, "I suddenly feel like you don’t quite match up to Link?"

Taylor paused, annoyed, "Mom, how can you say that, I’m also great, you know?"

"I’m just saying you should be cautious; men like Link are rare, and many women are waiting in line to take your place. Best be careful."

Mrs. Andrea walked into the dining room.

Taylor furrowed her brows, blinking her blue fox eyes.

"Taylor, is Link good at fighting?"

Austin asked.

Taylor just noticed her brother was still watching TV, "He’s the world boxing champion, of course, he’s incredible."

"Someone at school is bullying me, can I have Link go beat them up?" Austin asked.

"Someone bullying you? Why haven’t you told Dad?"

"Telling Dad doesn’t help, the principal scolds them but they keep picking on me."

Austin rubbed his nose, his voice tiny.

"Spineless!" Taylor tapped his forehead. "Tell them your brother-in-law is Link, and if anyone dares to bully you, next time Link will come to school to beat them up."

"Okay!"

Austin grinned happily.

During the TV show, which had been going on for almost an hour and was nearing its end, Link took a sip of water just as Ms. Goldberg asked,

"Link, one last question, which is of concern to many people right now, the controversy involving you and Lil after the Grammy incident has been blowing up in showbiz and has caught the attention of many.

Last time, when Lil and 50 Cent came to our show for an interview, they fully recognized their mistakes and apologized earnestly to all the musicians who attended the Grammys, to all their fans, and to you personally.

Afterward, you tweeted ’let it go,’ and the media speculated that you were indicating reconciliation. Is that right?"

Link shrugged, "I know rappers are a bunch of unique individuals, including Kanye; without that character, it would be hard to come up with those cool songs, so I understand their actions and words. Now they’ve realized their mistakes and apologized, which I really appreciate; of course, I won’t hold it against them anymore."

"You mentioned Kanye, does that mean you forgive him too?" Ms. Goldberg asked.

Link chuckled, "Yes, if he needs forgiveness."

"A Hollywood-style grand reconciliation, let’s give Link a round of applause,"

Ms. Goldberg led the way.

Loud applause erupted in the studio.

Link thanked everyone.

"Bullshit! I did nothing wrong, why should he forgive me, this damn bastard is just riding my coattails, I will never forgive him."

Kanye grabbed a bottle from the table and smashed the TV screen.

"That’s enough, Kanye, Link is just as famous as you now; he doesn’t need your clout,"

Eminem said, chuckling.

"Humph, that’s because he succeeded in riding my coattails. Before this, he was never that famous in showbiz, the cunning guy."

Kanye grumbled with a dark face.

Eminem shook his head; ever since Kanye became famous, he often went out wearing a duckbill hat, large sunglasses, or wrapping his head in cloth to avoid being recognized and clout-chased, almost as if he was suffering from a paranoia.

"Let’s go, sit at the bar for a while, Lil and the others are there."

Eminem suggested.

"No, I’ve been too angry these days, wrote a few new songs, I want to release my new album sooner to show Link that making a stand in the music industry relies on talent, not just publicity stunts."

Kanye downed his glass in one gulp, stormed out the door, and didn’t forget to put on the duckbill hat as he left.
