- Title Page Character(s): Matsuura, Ippo Makunouchi
Summary[]
Matsuura is shocked that his guard was blown open by Ippo. Ippo is surprised his punch worked, and his body doesn't hurt after throwing it. Kamogawa wonders if Ippo can keep it up when he transitions between uppercuts and hooks, or withstand the momentum of direction change. Ippo proceeds to attack with a right hook and left uppercut, while following it up with more hooks and uppercuts with each arms from different positions on Matsuura's guard. Ippo feels he can do it since his body doesn't hurt as he is rotating his punches as he continues to attack Matsuura's guard. Ippo punches Matsuura's guard to the ropes, but as he was going in for the final blow, he misses with his right uppercut. Matsuura realises he would have been dead if that landed, and starts to attack back with his left jab to try to push Ippo away. Ippo wants to continue but the Nishijima coach stops the spar, since he didn't want his boxer to get injured. Matsuura thanks Ippo for the spar. As they leave the gym, Kimura and Aoki thinks it was vicious of Ippo to use the Dempsey Roll with a vertical motion on them. But Ippo wasn't for sure if he could do it when he tried it. Aoki and Kimura asks Ippo how the new Dempsey Roll feels.
