While Ryoma is on the other side of the city breaking down Serrano's habits, Kirizume is doing the opposite, forcing Serrano back into the strict fundamentals of orthodox boxing.
In Kirizume's mind, Serrano's natural brilliance is not something to erase; it is the very foundation that brought him this far. But that same freedom, if left unchecked, carries a risk he can no longer ignore.
Pragmatically, he wants Serrano to tighten his game, to control exchanges, and to stop exposing himself with unnecessary freedom in every sequence.
"How many times do I have to tell you," Kirizume shouts from outside the ring. "Use your left properly. You have the reach advantage. Use it to dictate the fight."
Serrano adjusts, resetting into a cleaner orthodox stance with a longer guard. When his sparring partner steps in, he keeps him at range with a steady stream of jabs, controlling distance in a way that looks disciplined at first glance.
