Summary
After being hit by an uppercut and a counter, Mashiba clinches to Sawamura until the fourth round ends. Barely making it to his corner, Mashiba is told by the referee that if he is taken to the ropes again, he ill end the match. Mashiba's coach yells at the referee for not stopping the other side since Sawamura clearly kicked Mashiba, warning the referee that there will be a raging dispute to this contest from them. Mashiba overhears that he was kicked while he was down. His coach orders him to not get emotional about it and to use the fifth round only for recovering. At Sawamura's corner, Karil tells him to not let Mashiba recover, and if he clinches, just push him off. As the fifth round is about to begin, a Mashiba chant breaks out from the audience. Kumi decides that she should be watching the match, not to see whether he wins or loses, but because her brother will return home. The fifth round begins.
