TO KEEP ON FIGHTING, NO MATTER WHAT

While Joe is punching below his weight on the traveling sideshow circuit just to keep a hand in, Carlos Rivera is turning the world of Japanese boxing upside down—but is he really the happy-go-lucky clown he presents to the public...? Only Joe sees him for what he truly is, which just might present the young drifter with the greatest challenge of his career, on the biggest stage imaginable!
