Summary

As the sixth round is coming up, Kamogawa notices that Takamura isn't sweating anymore. Takamura had a plan to go for only five rounds, as that is his limit as a junior middleweight. Kamogawa states that Takamura is in the lead by points and just recover next round, but Takamura points out that Hawk already knows that he's worn out due to the body blow. Round six begins, Hawk begins punching the worn-out Takamura, who can barely touch the champion. Kamogawa believes Takamura is world championship level, but doesn't believe he himself is, as he would've gave different instructions if he knew of Takamura 's condition. Takamura is against the ropes as he's getting hit repeatedly by the champion until he falls down. As Takamura is down, Hawk throws both hands in the air in celebration. Takamura begins standing up as Aoki and Kimura believes it is due to the weight management, but Nekota states that Takamura never complained and how he kept going with training even after his pride was hurt and knowing that he could only last five rounds. Takamura stands up, ready to fight as he will put up a fight as long as his fingers can move.
