Summary[]
Ippo takes some hits, but also dodges several from Alfredo. He tries to get close. The distance between them keeps shrinking with every punch. Even though he gets hit, he keeps closing to Alfredo. Alfredo fires a series of lefts to keep him away, but Ippo still moves forward. Alfredo, after seeing that hitting Ippo through won't stop him, he tries with his left but this time he gets so much closer that Ippo tries to hit with a body blow, but Alfredo backs off with a sudden move and terrified expression. Alfredo then hits with a left, and Ippo guards, but after a second, he relaxes. Alfredo sees the opening and moves forward. Ippo doesn't moves and takes the hit. While Alfredo's fist still on Ippo's head, Ippo looks up to him and Alfredo realises that this was Ippo's plan all along, doing this to close the gap between them. Ippo breaks away from Alfredo's fist and prepares himself to do a liver blow. He dives in and lands a powerful liver blow.
