Summary

As Bernard and Takamura faces off against each other, Kimura mentions that Takamura never failed to come through before, so something will happen tonight. In the corner, Bernard's coach told his boxer to not take what Takamura said in the press conference since Takamura was just trying to get him riled up, telling him to fight calmly and to bring back the belt. In Takamura's corner, Kamogawa tells Takamura to not look down on the world ring, and to concentrate and fight. Takamura tells him that he was not looking, he was going to prove that he conquer six weight classes. As Takamura was about to touch gloves at the start of the match, Bernard hits his hand away and charges into the opening. He yells that he is going to kill Takamura, while Takamura calmly stands his ground, and starts to do the Look Away. However, Takamura didn't want to just mimic Aoki's Look Away, he performs a full body Look Away, facing his whole body towards a different direction. Kamogawa and Yagi yells at Takamura to look in front of him. When Takamura did, Bernard hit him in the face and pushed him into the corner. Takamura, now dazed in the corner, Bernard attacks, but Takamura is able to duck the punch at the last second. Takamura is shocked that Bernard didn't look away, as he dodges Bernard's punches. Takamura continues to dodge Bernard's attacks without getting hit.
