On the 7th (8th Japan time), Yamamoto started against the Yankees and pitched well, allowing no runs for 7 innings. He thanked Inoue, who was watching the game on site, saying, “Thank you for watching the game.” Inoue gave his honest impression, saying, “I watched it thoroughly. The cheers of the crowd were completely different from those in Japan.”

After that, they exchanged information about adjustment methods and weight management. Inoue said, “I think that everyone who has been at the top up to this point feels the same, but I don’t feel stressed every day. It’s normal for the hurdles to be always high, and I don’t have much time to take a break,” to which Yamamoto agreed, saying, “There are few days off during the season, so before you know it, the days are passing by.”

Commenting on this conversation between the world’s top athletes, Ohashi, the chairman of Inoue’s gym, was deeply moved, saying, “I was surprised at how well Yamamoto held the Yankees back. It’s incredible. I never expected to receive an award from the Boxing Writers’ Association of America in New York and then watch Yamamoto Yoshinobu pitch. I’m sure it will be an exciting time for years to come.”
