The Tokyo Dome erupts, tens of thousands roaring in a chaotic mix of Japanese and foreign voices at the sudden counter and unexpected knockdown.
"RYOMA!!!"
"HE DROPPED THE CHAMPION!"
"WHAT A COUNTER!"
"GOT YOU, CABELLO! HOW DOES IT FEEL?!"
"THAT'S OUR RYOMA!!!"
Around the VIP section, journalists, world champions, and promoters exchange serious whispers, dissecting the sudden counter and knockdown. Only now they are realizing it as the culmination of everything Ryoma has engineered since round six.
A little farther away, Kirizume slowly shakes his head, a faint smile crossing his face. "This kid never fails to surprise me. Just when I think he's finally reached his ceiling, he suddenly shows another side of himself I've never seen before."
Sitting beside him, half his face hidden behind a mask, is Renji Kuroiwa, the former face of Japanese boxing who disappeared after his loss to Miguel Cabello.
