- Title Page Character(s): Romeo, Ryō Mashiba
Summary[]
As Mashiba has entered the Hitman Style, he throws Flicker Jabs at Romeo. Romeo starts deflecting them as he presses forward. Ippo, Kimura, and Itagaki think his Flicker Jabs aren't as sharp because he is hurt. When Romeo gets in close range, Mashiba starts throwing a Chopping Right. Romeo knocks Mashiba's right hand away before he could throw it and throws a right hook. Mashiba blocks the right hook, but he is pushed to the ropes. Mashiba throws another Chopping Right, but Romeo ducks and dodges it. Romeo begins throwing a barrage of body blows on Mashiba. In the waiting room, Sendō complains that Mashiba should win the match if he is making his opening act that hype. Yanaoka tells him how Romeo has never lost by KO before, and he weakens his opponents and finishes them in the second half. He notes it will be hard to turn the match around, and if Mashiba loses, it is Sendō's fault. The match enters the fifth round, and, after Mashiba misses another Chopping Right, he is hit by another barrage of body blows. As Romeo sees that Mashiba is throwing another Chopping Right, he plans to make the match end with a body blow knockout. However, he notices it too late that the Chopping Right isn't coming, as Mashiba has lowered his right arm to throw a right uppercut, hitting Romeo. After Mashiba lands a left body blow, Romeo begins defending his body, however, Mashiba throws a Chopping Right that lands on Romeo's open face. Mashiba begins landing combinations of left uppercuts and Chopping Rights until the referee steps in to stop the match, resulting in Mashiba's victory.
