Joe, Rikishi is a world ranking boxer. - I only turned pro because I want to fight him. 373 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:00,800 A match? 374 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:05,640 Mm.

He's ranked highly in the Japanese bantam class. 378 00:52:26,590 --> 00:52:32,390 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. 379 00:52:33,570 --> 00:52:38,430 You've got to be kidding! Are you planning on crushing Joe? 380 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,460 Old man... 381 00:52:44,630 --> 00:52:48,610 I will turn down such greedy matches. 382 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,810 Joe, off we go. 383 00:52:59,690 --> 00:53:04,710 "We are against unjustly ignoring the people!"

He said he's studying cross-counter punches with a line-up of experts. 414 00:57:25,750 --> 00:57:27,990 Eh? 415 00:57:59,730 --> 00:58:02,900 The formalities for a world championship match are in progress. 416 00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:07,320 - Miss, we've spoken about that... - I added several conditions to it, but gave the general okay for it. 417 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:11,970 - Miss... - You're planning on getting in my way too? 418 00:58:14,210 --> 00:58:16,640 Sorry, but I'll be off now. 419 00:58:20,980 --> 00:58:24,260 You're so weak letting her walk all over you. 420 00:58:27,550 --> 00:58:32,110 What? You're going to ignore me? Even though I came all this way to watch your match. 421 00:58:33,370 --> 00:58:36,000 Hey, Rikishi... 422 00:58:38,710 --> 00:58:41,280 Oh my, what are you doing here? 423 00:58:45,010 --> 00:58:48,520 That's right, you two know each other, don't you? 424 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:54,060 What a great world to be in.

It is a double cross-counter! 484 01:06:13,220 --> 01:06:22,440 - 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. 485 01:06:23,090 --> 01:06:26,110 Ouch! What was that for? 486 01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,130 That hurt. 487 01:06:28,130 --> 01:06:34,920 A cross-counter is a punch that uses the power from your opponent's punch to hit back with double the usual force. 488 01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:40,230 But this was double that, turning it into an unbelievably forceful punch. 489 01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:45,710 - Joe, you can do it! - Joe, you can do it! 490 01:06:50,910 --> 01:06:52,720 Down! 491 01:06:55,260 --> 01:06:57,010 3... 492 01:06:57,010 --> 01:06:58,820 4... 493 01:06:58,820 --> 01:07:00,290 5... 494 01:07:00,290 --> 01:07:02,500 6... 495 01:07:02,500 --> 01:07:04,900 7... 496 01:07:04,900 --> 01:07:06,770 8... 497 01:07:07,910 --> 01:07:10,280 You're okay?

That's all from me. 611 01:30:44,860 --> 01:30:50,440 At the weigh-in yesterday it seemed that Rikishi had dropped his weight as much as was physically possible. 612 01:30:50,440 --> 01:30:53,980 Yes, but he seems to have recovered well today. 613 01:30:53,980 --> 01:30:58,470 Can we say that Rikishi Tooru is physically recovered enough? 614 01:30:58,670 --> 01:31:01,790 Right, it's time for the much anticipated first round. 615 01:31:02,700 --> 01:31:07,950 The gong has sounded.

Naturally he's done it again! Yabuki is going for no guard against Rikishi too. 618 01:31:30,190 --> 01:31:35,210 - He could've made contact if he wanted. - Damn it! He's pretending to throw crosses. 619 01:31:36,940 --> 01:31:42,330 - Yabuki's cross-counter is one which he throws when his opponent throws a straight right. - Yes. 620 01:31:42,330 --> 01:31:46,140 Yabuki's cross won't work on an upper like was just thrown. 621 01:32:02,170 --> 01:32:07,100 Joe!

Yabuki has his guard up! 638 01:34:27,090 --> 01:34:31,170 Yabuki usually goes with no guard, but this time he's put his guards up. 639 01:34:42,190 --> 01:34:46,260 Short! Short! Short! It's working! Keep it up! 640 01:37:43,080 --> 01:37:48,570 Get up! Stand back up, Joe~!! 641 01:39:17,100 --> 01:39:21,400 Rikishi is down!

He hit his head, but stood back up again. 653 01:40:08,580 --> 01:40:13,630 Rikishi has put his guards down. Rikishi is going for no guard first! 654 01:40:14,820 --> 01:40:17,510 What do you want? 655 01:40:17,820 --> 01:40:22,910 - Don't kid with me! - Stop! He wants your counter punch! 656 01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:52,120 Yabuki has also dropped his guard. It's turned into an outrageous match! 657 01:40:52,630 --> 01:40:56,720 Alright, Joe.
