Hey, why the hell's Yabuki got bruises from head to toe?
S'not just Joe. His coach and his second are covered in 'em, too.
How did Yabuki-kun get those bruises?
Does he really plan on fighting Wolf in that condition?
It's not the bruises I'm worried about.
The reason for those bruises is far more ominous.
To your corners.
Fight!
Bring out your No Guard!
N-Now this... This is a shock!
Yabuki has raised a high guard!
He won't be using his usual No Guard stance on Wolf!
Tanaka-san, what do you make of this?
Well, I think it's the only natural course of action for Yabuki's camp.
Natural? Why do you say that?
From what I've heard, Wolf's secret training...
was tailored to counter the Cross Counter, a punch Yabuki-kun throws from the No Guard position.
So, if Yabuki were to use the No Guard stance in spite of that fact
he'd be playing right into Wolf's hands.
I see.
It's been almost a minute since the bell rang
but neither fighter has even thrown a jab!
Yabuki's in the center of the ring
and Wolf has begun pacing around him, observing him carefully.
It seems like Wolf is being extra-cautious.
Well, I'd be pretty careful too if I were him.
Not only is Yabuki covered in bruises
but so are his coach, Tange, and his colleague, Mammoth Nishi.
We can't explain those bruises.
This is all incredibly strange.
The standoff in the ring continues!
Hey! What are you doing, Ref!?
Quit standing there and do something!
Make them fight already, dammit!
We didn't pay to watch a staring competition!
Fight!
What's the matter, Wolf? You scared of Joe, or something?
You'd better get Daddy to help you!
Yabuki, you've played it cool for long enough now! Kick his ass already!
Yeah! Put Wolf out of his misery already!
You're pathetic, Wolf!
Wolf! Forget about his mind games! Just start punching!
I hear ya!
Wolf's started throwing punches!
He's throwing a barrage of jabs!
Yabuki's dodging them all the way to the ropes!
Yabuki's cornered on the ropes!
Wolf throws his first left hook of the match!
And what a scorcher that was!
Yabuki throws a right-left!
And it connects!
Back to your corners!
You're so cool, Joe!
Joe, you're so awesome!
Hey! Get a grip, Wolf!
Yabuki-kun has shown impressive progress in his technique.
I never imagined I'd see him dodge jabs or do a swayback like that.
Yes, he's definitely improving.
But no matter how much he's improved, Wolf's still several rungs higher in the technique department.
If this match keeps going the way it has been
Wolf's bound to launch a counterattack eventually.
Wolf, are you that worried about those bruises?
Don't sweat it, Wolf! I've figured out that those bruises are nothing to fear!
Think about it!
There are only three people at Tange Gym, if you include the coach!
Of course they'll be covered in bruises if they start training for real!
Ain't that right?
B-But, Coach, what about Joe's high guard?
That's not worth the time of day.
He's just too afraid to drop his arms because he's scared of our secret training!
I-I get it!
Yabuki... You won't get it all your own way this round!
After all, I have the better technique and better career stats!
If you attack me head-on, I'll send you packing!
Besides, I have a trump card!
Wolf is down!
Joe!
Bro Joe!
Way to go, Bro! Kick Wolf's ass!
You'd better goddamn stay down, Wolf!
Nice!
One!
Two!
Three!
Joe's expressionless face...
And those two at the ringside haven't said a word today either.
There's something behind all this!
Get up, Wolf! Now's your chance, Wolf!
Seven!
Eight!
You did it!
Wolf's down for a second time!
Yabuki's mighty straight left connected!
Can Wolf get up from this?
Can he get up?
Get up, Wolf! Get up! You can't lose this!
You can't afford to lose this match!
Get up, Wolf!
Yeah, that's the way, Wolf!
You're gonna be the world champ!
The world's your oyster!
The world! The world!
The world?
Yes, the world...
This bastard...
is just a pebble I've stumbled over.
He's nothing, compared to me!
All I have to do is kick this pebble outta the way.
And the way to do that...
is by beating his Cross Counter!
You won't fuck with me anymore, Yabuki!
Wolf! Look out!
I thought I told you, you won't fuck with me anymore!
Wolf!
Yabuki throws a right-left! Wolf throws a left-right! And it connects!
Yabuki's been pushed back into the corner!
Wolf throws a right-left!
Now, Yabuki throws a right!
What an intense exchange of blows! They're equal!
No, Wolf's coming out on top!
And that's it for the second round.
Now, wasn't that an amazing exchange of blows?
Yes, it was impressive.
But more importantly, that's Wolf's usual game right there.
He was overcome by Yabuki's strange aura in the first round and the first half of the second
which made him stiffen up a bit.
But today's bout is about to get interesting!
Nicely done, Wolf. Keep it up.
If you carry on like this, you'll gain the advantage!
Then, you can show him the results of your secret training!
The Anti-Cross Counter?
But Yabuki will have to use the No Guard for that...
I know that.
But if you keep hurting him like that, he'll adopt the No Guard stance in no time.
He'll have no other choice.
I get you!
It looks like Wolf's about to launch his counterattack, Rikiishi-kun.
We may even witness the results of Wolf's secret training next round.
Wolf's secret training...
Yabuki, from what I hear, Wolf's secret training was the most intense in Asia Gym's history.
Which means...
Wolf hasn't just come up with a passive tactic to counter your Cross Counter...
He's mastered some form of killer blow.
And he's done it after extensively studying your Cross Counter!
Which means Wolf's waiting for you to bring out your No Guard so you can throw the Cross!
You understand, don't you, Yabuki?
All right, that's the way!
Don't fall behind! This is Tange Gym's first special training session!
If this is too much for you, you'll never beat Wolf!
Listen, Wolf. Do a thorough job!
Wait!
You did it, you did it, you did it!
That's the way, Wolf!
Yabuki's down!
Wolf's relentless rush has finally brought him down!
One!
Two!
Three!
Bro!
Joe!
Joe! Joe!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Seven!
Eight!
Ni-
Yabuki, I hate to do this to you when you were finally doing so well...
But, think about it. The person you're facing is...
the precision machine, Wolf Kanagushi!
Now, what'll it be, Joe?
What're you gonna do now, Joe-san?
There it is! He's doing his floppy-arm stance!
Joe! Isn't the No Guard playing right into Wolf's hands?
What are you thinking, Joe?
What are you going to do?
You sure are stupid. This is just what I've been waiting for!
Now, it's time for me to entertain you!
Wolf!
Good enough. Do it.
Yabuki. I promised I'd throw a straight left when I dropped by Tange Gym...
It's time to make good on my promise!
All right! You did it! You did it!
Y-Yabuki... Yabuki's the one who collapses!
Yabuki's down!
I did it!
I did it, Coach!
I-It worked!
Score!
Way to go!
Hooray!
Hooray!!
What just happened? I thought the Cross Counter connected!
Why did Yabuki collapse?
Th-The Anti-Cross Counter...
Joe! Stand up!
Stand up, Joe!
Stand up!
Even though Joe trained and trained...
The Cross Counter he threw with such confidence was eclipsed.
As Wolf Kanagushi closes in for the kill with his fangs bared
will Joe be defeated?
You've done so much training for this match!
Now, show us your progress!
Lose the battle, but win the war!
Now, stand up!
Tomorrow is coming soon!
If you win, then as a symbol of your victory
Rikiishi will surely stand before you in the ring!
That's right!
Rikiishi Toru is not far ahead!
Now, stand up!
Stand tall until you win!
On this square mat
show these boxing spectators your bloody victory!
You're the only one who can do it!
You're the only one who can box like this!
Now, for Joe, as he encounters the greatest crisis of his life so far
which way is tomorrow!?
