Summary

Time for advantage of Takamura's second title match, and we see the WBC middleweight American champion, David Eagle who comes to Japan for the match. While Eagle arrived in Japan, the Japanese reporters asked him how he sees Takamura. He immediately answered that he is interested in Takamura's strength. Eagle is mostly like a hero, and all kids nearby came to have an autograph, and Miyata and Ippo took t-shirts, with the WBC middleweight champion's name on the back (David "Golden" Eagle). Afterwards he sparred with some of the gym, then it showed a flashback with Hawk. Who was the first world champion that Takamura took down. Eagle is ready for his battle with Takamura, to see why Hawk was so broken.
