Somehow, the commentators have also picked up on the history between these two fighters. Who knows where they got it. But they waste no time turning it into fuel for the broadcast.
"Do you know," the first commentator leans into the mic, his tone almost conspiratorial, "these two actually come from the same school, Kamisaka High. Both started their amateur boxing there."
"Oh, really?" the second replies. "Wasn't Kanzaki two years older? So this is like a senpai versus kouhai showdown?"
"Exactly. But unlike Ryoma, Kanzaki stepped away from boxing for a while after graduation. And now, fate brings them back together here in this rookie tournament."
"Like destiny, huh?" the second says, still casual.
"And haven't you noticed? Their styles are almost identical. That's the result of Kanzaki's influence on his junior."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah… in any case, this is shaping up to be a very interesting fight. The audience is going to love it."
