- Title Page Character(s): Ippo Makunouchi, Alfredo González
Summary[]
As the referee sees that Ippo is in a condition to fight, he continues the match. Ippo can't move his legs as Alfredo goes toward him. When Kamogawa yells out to Ippo to "go nuts," Ippo swings his fists around in random directions, which stops Alfredo's advance until the third round ends. Kamogawa goes into the ring and tells Ippo that he can't lend him a hand since Alfredo is watching, asking him to walk to his corner on his own. At Ippo's corner, Ippo asks Kamogawa what he got hit with since he doesn't remember. Ippo is surprised to hear that it was a long left hook, something he didn't even consider seeing since he was only worried about jabs and uppercuts. Ippo thinks how Alfredo doesn't just control his opponent's actions, but he manipulates their thoughts as well. As Ippo starts thinking negatively, Kamogawa reminds him that he can keep up with him, and that while it seems that Alfredo is good at everything, there must be something he is better at than Alfredo. Ippo wonders what he can do better than Alfredo.
