Umemoto shifts his weight and tears another three-punch combination into the body, forcing Ryoma to absorb everything behind his raised arms.
DUGH! DUGH! DUGH! DUGH!
Ryoma blocks, rolls, and tightens his guard, but Umemoto refuses to let the rhythm break.
Another burst comes immediately, hooks and uppercuts hammering against Ryoma's arms as the challenger drives him deeper into the ropes.
Ryoma's body is thrown from side to side under the barrage, his guard taking the punishment as his footing begins to waver.
"This is getting dangerous! Umemoto is throwing everything he has!"
"Ryoma is still covering up, but he can't stay on those ropes forever!"
"Those punches are getting through the guard! Even when they don't land cleanly, they're moving him!"
The commentary booth falls into a tense rhythm as Umemoto continues battering Ryoma, the Osaka crowd roaring louder with every combination.
"This is completely different from the first three rounds!"
