Summary[]
Ippo attempts to add vertical motion to his Dempsey Roll technique. However, he stops himself as he heard his muscles tearing. Ippo realises Kamogawa had the same idea due to the training methods that he gave consisting of twisting motions. He plans to move slowly and steadily towards the platform for his new Dempsey Roll. When Ippo returns home, Kumi was waiting for him, and notices that Ippo injured his head while training as it is bleeding. Kumi patches Ippo's injuries on his head, and Hiroko notices that Kumi worries about Ippo more than she does. Kumi tells Ippo that she will cheer him on, however, she reminds him about his promise to retire if he loses again. Ippo wants to not talk loud about it, making Kumi realise Ippo hasn't told his mother about the promise. Ippo can only think about the new Dempsey Roll.
