Summary
Dragon throws a counter at the charging Takamura. Takamura ducks down, buckling his thighs, causing Dragon's counter to graze the top of his thick hair, while Takamura continues to throw a right at the low position. Dragon slightly sways, causing his punch to miss, however, as Takamura was swinging, his legs were not in the position to support him, making him fall on the canvas. As the Kamogawa gym boxers comment about the attack, Miyata notes how the counter Takamura dodged couldn't have been dodged with just reflexes, but Takamura was able to do it since he always goes forward expecting a counter. Everyone becomes shocked when the referee begins counting, counting Takamura's fall as a down. As Kamogawa yells at the referee, protesting that it didn't hit Takamura's head, Miyata recalls Dragon's fall where the same thing happened was ruled a slip, thinking that the referee made the wrong call for Takamura. Takamura gets up at the count of eight, and requests the referee's attendance at his waiting room after the match.
