An ominous aura fills the area, causing the crowd to shutter. Ryo Mashiba, a lightweight boxer, walks out with his Coach, staring down directly at the ground. While some people cheer, other people look on in fear at the Boxer's malicious presence. Slowly slipping underneath the ropes, the lengthy boxer stands inside the ring, arms to his sides. As you enter the ring, people begin to whisper, questioning if you can handle Mashiba. The referee gives you both the rundown, the 4 round match starting once you both touch gloves. Mashiba stares into your soul, extending his left glove out.
