He's ranked highly in the Japanese bantam class. 374 00:52:27,090 --> 00:52:32,890 Based on his current form, I don't think it would be unusual for your boxer to have a match with someone of Wolf's class. 375 00:52:34,070 --> 00:52:38,930 You've got to be kidding! Are you planning on crushing Joe? 376 00:52:41,260 --> 00:52:42,960 Old man... 377 00:52:45,130 --> 00:52:49,110 I will turn down such greedy matches. 378 00:52:49,860 --> 00:52:52,310 Joe, off we go. 379 00:53:00,190 --> 00:53:05,210 "We are against unjustly ignoring the people!"

He said he's studying cross-counter punches with a line-up of experts. 410 00:57:26,250 --> 00:57:28,490 Eh? 411 00:58:00,230 --> 00:58:03,400 The formalities for a world championship match are in progress. 412 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,820 - Miss, we've spoken about that... - I added several conditions to it, but gave the general okay for it. 413 00:58:07,820 --> 00:58:12,470 - Miss... - You're planning on getting in my way too? 414 00:58:14,710 --> 00:58:17,140 Sorry, but I'll be off now. 415 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,760 You're so weak letting her walk all over you. 416 00:58:28,050 --> 00:58:32,610 What? You're going to ignore me? Even though I came all this way to watch your match. 417 00:58:33,870 --> 00:58:36,500 Hey, Rikishi... 418 00:58:39,210 --> 00:58:41,780 Oh my, what are you doing here? 419 00:58:45,510 --> 00:58:49,020 That's right, you two know each other, don't you? 420 00:58:49,020 --> 00:58:54,560 What a great world to be in.

It is a double cross-counter! 480 01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:22,940 - He won't be able to win. - There's no way a guy from a gym in the slums like this can put up a fight against a guy from a huge gym. 481 01:06:23,590 --> 01:06:26,610 Ouch! What was that for? 482 01:06:27,140 --> 01:06:28,630 That hurt. 483 01:06:28,630 --> 01:06:35,420 A cross-counter is a punch that uses the power from your opponent's punch to hit back with double the usual force. 484 01:06:35,420 --> 01:06:40,730 But this was double that, turning it into an unbelievably forceful punch. 485 01:06:40,740 --> 01:06:46,210 - Joe, you can do it! - Joe, you can do it! 486 01:06:51,410 --> 01:06:53,220 Down! 487 01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:57,510 3... 488 01:06:57,510 --> 01:06:59,320 4... 489 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:00,790 5... 490 01:07:00,790 --> 01:07:03,000 6... 491 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,400 7... 492 01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,270 8... 493 01:07:08,410 --> 01:07:10,780 You're okay?

That's all from me. 607 01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:50,940 At the weigh-in yesterday it seemed that Rikishi had dropped his weight as much as was physically possible. 608 01:30:50,940 --> 01:30:54,480 Yes, but he seems to have recovered well today. 609 01:30:54,480 --> 01:30:58,970 Can we say that Rikishi Tooru is physically recovered enough? 610 01:30:59,170 --> 01:31:02,290 Right, it's time for the much anticipated first round. 611 01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:08,450 The gong has sounded.

Naturally he's done it again! Yabuki is going for no guard against Rikishi too. 614 01:31:30,690 --> 01:31:35,710 - He could've made contact if he wanted. - Damn it! He's pretending to throw crosses. 615 01:31:37,440 --> 01:31:42,830 - Yabuki's cross-counter is one which he throws when his opponent throws a straight right. - Yes. 616 01:31:42,830 --> 01:31:46,640 Yabuki's cross won't work on an upper like was just thrown. 617 01:32:02,670 --> 01:32:07,600 Joe!

Yabuki has his guard up! 634 01:34:27,590 --> 01:34:31,670 Yabuki usually goes with no guard, but this time he's put his guards up. 635 01:34:42,690 --> 01:34:46,760 Short! Short! Short! It's working! Keep it up! 636 01:37:43,580 --> 01:37:49,070 Get up! Stand back up, Joe~!! 637 01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:21,900 Rikishi is down!

He hit his head, but stood back up again. 649 01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:14,130 Rikishi has put his guards down. Rikishi is going for no guard first! 650 01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:18,010 What do you want? 651 01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:23,410 - Don't kid with me! - Stop!
