Summary[]
After Nargo clinches, he screams in agony as Sendō clenches his fists and turns it into Nargo's side. Sendō just thought of the move, calling it the "Clenched Fist". Nargo sees a Smash coming for him, ducking to avoid. However, Sendō stops the throw mid-way, and uses his right to perform a Chopping Right that he calls the "Knuckle Drop". Nargo blocks in time, and Sendō's punch lands on the canvas, shaking the ring. Nargo steps back, and Sendō tries to go after him, but he has trouble moving due to his legs hurting. Sendō widens his stance further, which Bill thinks that style of exposes his weak points and attacking head on has gone extinct. Ippo thinks Sendō will be okay, as when he uses his own style is when he is at his strongest, and when Ippo gets the most nervous and excited. Nargo sees that Sendō looks really hurt and he can't seem to clench his right fist. He is confident he can keep away from Sendō, but doesn't know why the ring feels so small, like a cage. Sendō slowly backed Nargo into a corner without Nargo realising it.
