Summary[]

Shocked at the sight of Ricardo on his knees in the ring, Alfredo demands Bill to explain. Ricardo notes how Alfredo is another witness, telling him that Sendō is the first man to score a down against him. Seeing Alfredo, the man he came to Mexico for in front of him, Sendō challenges Alfredo to fight him. Ricardo nonchalantly gets up, not wanting to stay down for ten seconds. Bill anxiously explains what happened to Alfredo, describing it as Sendō not having any manners and simply leaning on Ricardo after Sendō desperately hit him, making him lose balance. Witnessing Bill try to get the reporters to believe him, Ricardo stops Bill's rebuttal and informs him that the reporters do not even need pictures for proof, as he is sure they saw what happened with their own eyes: a tiger's fangs piercing his flesh. Just as Alfredo was about to get into the ring per Sendō's request, Ricardo urges for them to settle it in a bigger stage, specifically in Mexico City in three months as a semi-final to his own title defence. In doing so, he will grant the right for the winner to fight him in his next title defence. While Alfredo agrees to the offer, Sendō notes how the winner will fight him after his next title defence, pointing out how pretentious he is for thinking that he is invincible and predicting that he will not lose his next title defence. Sendō then proclaims that Ricardo might be undefeated, however that is because he has not fight him yet. In the car, Alfredo informs Lisa that he will be fighting Sendō with the intent to kill, then he will fight Ricardo. Sendō notes how he wishes to give Ricardo a feel of his real punch, wanting to defeat Alfredo to make that happen. Ricardo laughs at Sendō's claims of undefeated not equalling invincible. Bill asks if Sendō actually did hit him in the spar, however Ricardo brushes the question off expressing that he has not had that much fun in a while. Bill reveals to Ricardo that a reporter gave him information that both Sendō and Alfredo, along with his previous opponent, Date fought a boxer named Ippo where they had a brutal match against him. Ricardo reflects on how, despite Ippo's world ranking having disappeared, he still occasionally hears Ippo's name, as if the wielder of the Dempsey Roll has the world revolved around him.
