The television broadcast is still replaying highlights from the fight when the argument finally erupts inside Nakahara's office.
"I still don't understand how the hell that ends as a draw," Okabe says while throwing both hands upward. "Forget the draw, honestly, Shimamura should've won that fight."
"Exactly," Ryohei nods. "Graves spent half the night punching air. The guy looked frustrated from round one."
"Look at this shit," Okabe points aggressively toward the television. "Look at Elliot's face. His cheek's swollen, eyes bruised. And Shimamura looks like he's about to do a magazine interview afterward."
"Yeah," Ryohei adds, growing more animated now that someone's agreeing with him. "You can't tell me the cleaner punches came from Elliot. Every meaningful shot came from Shimamura. Those counters were sharp as hell."
"Knockdown in round six," Okabe says immediately. "Biggest moment of the match. That alone changes the entire fight."
