Summary[]
The fight continues with a highly technical trade where neither fighter connects a hit, but as noted by Fujii, they are only "checking each other out". Miyata displays a higher level of technique and speed slightly dominating an exchange, which forces Mashiba to utilise his Hitman Style. Mashiba attempts a Flicker Jab which Miyata appears to dodge, but is connected in the end. Stunned by Mashiba's reach advantage, Miyata realises his mistake, and switches to a southpaw version of the Hitman Style. Thinking he is being underestimated, Mashiba attacks with another Flicker Jab, but is deflected by Miyata's shoulder. Miyata closes in, and as Mashiba attempts a straight, he is hit with a counter, sending him to the mat.
