Bab 62: The Legend Returns (1)

"Isn't Tang Bun-jong a fighter who competes at minus 65?"

"In Muay Thai standards, that's true, but he says it doesn't matter much. He claims he's confident against anyone in a standing rules match. Do you think I'd have come to Yu Jung-ak shamelessly if I wasn't desperate? It's so frustrating."

"What's the issue?"

"Tang Bun-jong's walking weight is 73kg, and he says he doesn't care who we bring for up to middleweight."

"Is he serious?"

"Yes, he's serious. That's how lowly he regards our country's standing fighters."

"Then why didn't you actually make offers to middleweights, Mr. Kim?"

"I actually did."

"And?"

"No one accepted."

"Not even the middleweights? Well, I guess we don't have many standing middleweights in our country."

"Yes, no one accepted. Lightweights are out of the question. Lee Il-su hasn't even recovered from his injury yet. It's driving me crazy."
