Sendō's Smash is being sent upwards, while Ricardo's counter is being sent downwards, and the punches intersect. Ricardo remembers the time he talked with his father. His father told him how he is climbing a different peak now that he recently got ranked in the WBA. The young Ricardo asked his father what it feels like to be strong.
