Summary
In the fourth round, Itagaki notices Imai's stance is different, with his feet far apart, and his hands guarding high at his face. Itagaki attacks Imai at close range, hitting Imai's guard while Imai doesn't attack. Miyata wonders about Itagaki's stamina, and tells Takamura that while Itagaki might be throwing more punches, his feet have stopped moving. Imai continues to block Imai's punches while waiting for Itagaki to throw a big right. When Itagaki throws a right, Imai throws a right of his own. Itagaki sees the attack coming, and guards his face, however, when Imai's attack hits Itagaki's guard, the impact still makes Itagaki off balance. Aoki and Kimura realise that Imai is giving up on points and betting on finishing it with one shot. Itagaki continues to attack until he sees another attack coming, blocking the attack from hitting his face.
