Summary[]
Now knowing that his opponent is just pretending to not be hurt, Sendō gets back up after much struggle and to the praise of the audience. With only seven seconds left in the sixth round, Volg goes on the attack but the damage from the body blows, impede him from advancing. In a desperate attempt, Volg launches his White Fang again but misses right before the bell rings. Despite Yanaoka's advice, Sendō refuses to back away and decides to challenge Volg to a fight. On the other corner, Volg is warned by Ramuda about the strength the cheers can give a losing fighter. The seventh round starts and Sendō is decided to live up to the expectations, but he is once again outclassed by Volg's technical skills. Volg reminds himself that he is not fighting for cheers, but because he loves the sport. Waiting for Volg to get close enough, Sendō simply blocks all the shots and throws the Smash at the right moment. Despite being able to block the hit, Volg is still sent backwards and is unable to correctly place his feet. Sendō notices this and approaches him but instead of immediately attacking, he switches to southpaw and delivers a Smash with his dominant arm. Receiving the full power of the punch, Volg immediately falls to the canvas.
