The weigh-in proceeds without a hitch, with neither camp causing any trouble or stirring up drama.
Declan and Redmond's hostility remains directed at Ryoma, who is present at the venue but has no part in the weigh-in itself. Their fixation on him leaves little room for any interest in Kenta, the man Declan is actually scheduled to fight.
To them, Kenta barely seems to exist. And Declan makes no effort to hide that attitude during the press Q&A.
"Am I looking forward to this fight?" he says, leaning back casually in his chair. "Well, they did offer me an incredible purse, and I appreciate their generosity. Ronin Fight Management really lives up to its reputation. Not just when it comes to paying fighters handsomely, but also when it comes to showing a lack of respect for their opponents. As if offering someone a fat paycheck gives you the right to look down on the person they're fighting."
