Summary[]
Shinoda apologises to Fujii about not being able to fulfil their promise, but Fujii reassures him that it is okay, since he wasn't suited to be a pro boxer. Aoki asks Shinoda to make a fist so he can see the fist of the prodigy. When Shinoda makes a fist that is round like Aoki's, Aoki becomes disappointed. Before leaving, Fujii asks Ippo if he is coming back to fight again. Ippo answers that he plans to. As Ippo hears his gym mates talk about how Ippo's come-back match opponent will likely defend from the sides a lot against Ippo's punches, Ippo wonders what will happen if he took his Dempsey Roll that is always horizontal, and adds a vertical motion to it. Later, Ippo runs while having three tires tied to his back and then trains on the weaving of his Dempsey Roll using a log that is stuck on a hillside. After moving in a figure eight motion, he attempts to add vertical motion to it.
