- Title Page Character(s): Alexander Volg Zangief, Mike Elliott, Takeshi Sendō, Ippo Makunouchi
Summary
Volg rushes towards Elliott. He uses the White Fang immediately, however, Elliott successfully counters it by blocking the first hit to the jaw and then countering the second with a compact left hook, causing Volg to go down. Ippo and Sendō are surprised by Elliott countering the White Fang, as they know that they wouldn't have been able to do it, as Ippo only focused on surviving against the technique, and Sendō figured that he would take at least one hit and maybe land a dual exchange. Ippo thinks of how seeing things that someone would never dream of become a reality, and seeing things that someone would think were impossible to pull off effortlessly is what happens in the world stage. Sendō notes that the match was set up at the last minute, wondering if Elliott prepared to fight Volg a long time ago. Ippo thinks that Elliott must have known a fight against Volg would happen sooner or later, so he must have been preparing himself for this moment. Ippo and Sendō cheers for Volg to get back up from his down.
