But just as he had adjusted to Link's pace, Link suddenly changed his approach, causing him to suffer greatly.
As he was going down, Hopkins suddenly remembered Hoyle's advice before the match:
"Link likes to strategize opponents during the match, letting them get used to his style and then suddenly changing his tactics at a crucial moment to catch them off guard. That's Link's trick, or rather, his rhythm, his tactic."
In the past more than twenty matches, Link had won at least eight using this method. Although it was less than half, it was a highly lethal tactic that one could not ignore.
While studying Link's matches, Hopkins had also realized this and had secretly warned himself not to fall for Link's tricks.
Despite all precautions, a moment of distraction had still led him into Link's trap.
This filled Hopkins with fury, he swung his fists, unleashing his maximum power and speed, sparing no effort in his attack on Link.
