Summary

Ricardo sees Sendō's left Smash approaching him and readies his right. However, he quickly changes his tactics and chooses to block it instead. The heavy blow passes by Ricardo's block, with the champion still feeling the powerful shock waves despite it not landing. The audience becomes excited to see Sendō is back to the fighter they remember. The gong sounds to end the third round. Sendō immediately lets out a big sigh before walking to his corner. Ricardo realises that Sendō's big swings were to let him make it to the interval. However, since he has now analysed the Smash twice now, Ricardo plans to prioritise on tiger exterminating. At Sendō's corner, Sendō yells at the audience after they tell him that he needs to land his punches. Yanaoka tells him to not waste his energy, which Sendō agrees since he is facing the strongest man in the world. Mari is surprised that Sendō used big swings to buy time and how Ricardo tightened up his guard when he saw the Smash coming. Miyata points out that Ricardo stopped himself after he entered the motion to do something since it must have been a different Smash compared to the one from the first round. He predicts that the champion is aiming for the Smash, doing simulations during the interval to come up with a way to counter it. Mari doesn't believe it since if Ricardo messes up the counter, it could be over for him. Miyata asks Ippo of his opinion, however, Ippo is out of it because he forgot to breathe. After catching his breath and drinking water, Ippo states how incredible the match is.
