Kaga abandons Coach Arinori's plan almost immediately. The restraint is gone. He drags the fight back into the fierce rhythm of the first round, trying to seize control with sheer force.
Heavy marches forward, pounding at Satoru's guard, shoving the fight back to center ring. It works, so for now, Coach Arinori lets it happen, watching closely.
The blows are thudding now, not just wild, but brutal. A few crash into Satoru's upper arms, numbing them, knocking his stance just off-center.
Then a clean sequence breaks through.
Jab-cross-lead hook.
Dsh! Thud! Dsh!
The jab clips Satoru's face. The cross thuds into inside his shoulder above the chest. The hook snaps against the side of his head as he struggles to regain balance.
The crowd erupts. The supporters from Kanagwa find their voice again, shouting, cheering, calling Kaga's name.
"That's the danger of Shigetaka right there," the lead commentator says.
