its night now , everyone inside their homes is in relax mode now after a long day but here in the kourakuen hall , the heat in the atmosphere is rising gradually . just a minute or so remains before today's semi final match starts . it's the match of featherweight division ' sasaki rank 1 vs yamamoto rank 9' .
the cheer squad of sasaki is fired up and waiting for their boxer to make his entrance . well it's not a surprise that sasaki has his own big cheering squad because he is a veteran and is lingering in high rankings every year and has experienced title match two times now ..
" it's time for boxers to make their entrance now . from the blue corner comes Yamamoto " the commentator fuji san says loudly and his voice reaches the ears of everyone. he is the commentator almost for every boxing match in a year . " he looks ready to go even before standing inside the ring . the audience is quiet though , it shows that they have higher expectations from sasaki senshu . let's welcome him from the red corner now .."
this time the crowd goes wild with their cheers . it can seen that they dont expect ken to win at all . but honestly , the audience doesn't matter to ken at all because he knows that public is selfish and are just here to see an intense fight and expect the two boxers to trade flashy punches most . ken is long used to them and has stopped caring about their comments since long time ago . ken just steps inside the ring everytime for himself and the boxing fans who can understand boxing well and look forward to the showdown between high level boxing skills ..
both boxers have stepped inside the ring now and are waiting for the gong/ bell to ring . ken has already used his powers and the best scenario of him winning with ease is already inside his mind . the bell rings and sasaki is already dashing towards ken at full speed . he throws a left jab which ken dodges easily .
sasaki just throws his left for 43 seconds , looking for a chance to land his right hook on Ken's body . but unfortunately for him , ken already knows his plans or you can say that he has seen everything already inside his mind . so ken stops dodging and just when sasaki is in the motion of landing his right hook on his body , takes a small step back . he then gets in the motion of landing a jolt counter with his right straight on sasaki's temple . sasaki sees that a counter is coming and it will hit him now but cannot do anything to stop it in time because he is already in the motion of his right hook . then , the jolt counter of ken lands perfectly on sasaki's right temple and the punch has the weight of Ken's whole body behind it ..
while audience is left quiet after the counter lands , sasaki spews blood from his mouth and falls down after spinning once . it shows the strength behind the counter punch that he recovers with perfect timing . ken raises his right hand high up in the air and goes to the neutral corner to wait for sasaki to get up . but he already knows that sasaki wont get up and the anger inside him that bloomed during the weigh in the morning has cleared already after the jolt counter landed .
just as expected , the referee checks the condition of sasaki and crosses his hands in the air signaling the end of match . the bell rings and audience roars after seeing the disbelieving turn of events while the cheer squad of sasaki cannot raise their voice at all after shouting their hearts off when sasaki was slammed down by ken ..
" what a setback.. nobody expected this outcome .. the winner of today's semi final match is yamamoto ken . he showed us a splendid KO in just 45 minutes after the match started . this also means that yamamoto senshu has cleared the round 1 of A class tournament with a flashy start. oh ? sasaki senshu is being carried away on a stretcher . it looks like he still hasn't regained his conscious .. " fuji san shouts on his mic .
after a while , its time for the winner's interview and a beautiful lady approaches ken while holding mic ..
" please give us your comment after showing the splendid victory on sasaki senshu now " lady asks with a smile ..
" well I don't have much to say " ken says and looks in the direction of sasaki cheering squad and continues " well just one thing then . I'm feeling refreshed now after paying back for the bastard's insult to me during morning's weigh in .. thank you ..." ken gives the mic back to lady and leaves the ring with kou San ignoring the surprised audience with his unexpected answer ...
