Summary
Sendō is down on his knees after being thrown off by Ricardo during a clinch. The referee doesn't count as it does not count as a down. Sendō gets up, but is frustrated as he doesn't know what to do against the champion. Ricardo, disappointed in Sendō, throws left jabs at his tight high guard and then lands a left liver blow. Sendō steps back with the same tight high guard. Ricardo follows the challenger and lands a left liver blow, then a left to Sendō's face after his guard dropped, followed by another left liver blow. Sendō immediately clinches Ricardo again. Ricardo is dissatisfied with Sendō and wondered why he even came to Japan before remembering how great seeing the Osaka Castle was. He wishes for Sendō to stop clinching and fight honorably. Sendō sees now the reason Ricardo is undefeated and is called the Sun God, feeling like it is impossible to defeat the champion under boxing rules. He feels like he is holding onto despair itself. Sendō continues clinching Ricardo as the referee calls for him to break it up.
