History[]
Part I[]
Two Rookie Kings Arc[]
Suzuki getting defeated by Date.
Ranked second in the JBC, Suzuki challenged the JBC featherweight champion, Date Eiji in a title match. After Makunouchi Ippo defeated Okita Keigo prior to the match, Date was motivated. Suzuki was no match for the champion and fell victim to a Heart Break Shot, then a left Corkscrew Blow to the face, knocking him out. Before falling, he took a straight as well. He lost the match at the first round as he was unable to get up.
Speed Star Arc[]
Suzuki getting defeated by Volg.
Suzuki partook the Class A Tournament as his last chance to get to the JBC featherweight title. Suzuki was scheduled to go against the Russian, Alexander Volg Zangief for his first opponent. When the match began, Suzuki appeared to have had the upper hand against Volg when he hit him with a body blow. However, Volg began trading blows with Suzuki and quickly overwhelmed him. The referee, noticing that Suzuki was no longer able to defend himself properly, attempted to stop Volg, but the latter shook him off and kept attacking. Suzuki's trainer threw the towel and begged the match to be stopped, but before they could stop Volg, he delivered a powerful combination that knocked Suzuki out and Suzuki losing the match.
