Battle of Hawk Arc[]
Yi's loss.
Yi challenged the JBC featherweight champion Ippo Makunouchi. When the match began, Yi charged toward Ippo at the start of the match. Yi attacked aggressively with lefts that missed. Ippo started the Dempsey Roll motion as he dodged Yi's lefts. Yi was grazed on the chin by a left hook. Yi then prepared to attack an incoming punch, but was countered first with a right. After Yi's body flew back after being hit, he was hit by a continuous attack from the Dempsey Roll. Right as Yi tried to respond with a punch, he fell to the ground instead, resulting in Yi's loss.
