By night, the spacious living room of Ryoma's mansion has been turned into a makeshift strategy room.
Several laptops, notebooks, bottles of water, and half-finished Surge Blue are scattered across the low table, while Ryoma sits on one side of the sofa with Aramaki, Kenta, and the rest of the coaching team gathered around him.
The footage is already deep into the third round, where Liam O'Connell is still dictating the pace, constantly marching forward and forcing Umemoto to deal with his pressure.
He fights like the aggressive pressure fighter everyone expected, willingly stepping into exchanges and keeping Umemoto occupied with a steady stream of attacks.
But whenever Umemoto tries to fire back, Liam slips out of Umemoto's attacking angle, steps off the line, and immediately changes the geometry of the engagement.
