Ramirez emerges from the courthouse with his wrists still cuffed, escorted by court officers as reporters immediately surround him. Microphones are pushed forward and questions erupt from every direction, but he keeps his head down and refuses to answer.
Before the attention can settle, another wave of cameras turns toward the entrance as Cabello steps outside with Rivera behind him, instantly becoming the new focus of the reporters.
"Mr. Cabello! Are you still prepared to fight Ryoma?"
"Many people believe Hugo Ramirez acted because you were afraid of Ryoma. What's your response?"
"Are you relieved you weren't implicated in today's case?"
"Has this scandal affected your preparation?"
Cabello lets the questions pile up before answering with an amused smile.
"Apparently none of you were listening," he says. "After I beat Renji, I publicly said I wanted Ryoma. After I won the WBO title, I said exactly the same thing. Hugo Ramirez's fear of Ryoma has nothing to do with me."
