Sumary:
Challenger Little Mac and his trainer Doc Louis are in Tokyo, Japan for the W.V.B.A. Minor Circuit Title Bout. Three days before the fight against the Minor Circuit Champion Piston Honda, Little Mac hears by accident that Piston Honda will take the prize money (if he wins) to finance a social project in a rural area of his country. Knowing this fact hamper Mac from concentrating 100% on the important title bout.
The fight begins like Mac`s training was the last days: He is unconcentrated and Piston Honda delivers one punch after another on Mac. Once only the bell saves him from KO. In the pause between rounds Doc encourages Mac to do better, he appeals to his honour and finally Mac wins the fight with a hard right to the jaw of Piston Honda by KO!
Later that evening Mac and Joe walk thrugh the streets of Tokyo analysing the fight when a street gang appears and prepares to take revange for the defeat of their idol Piston Honda.
