Summary[]
After Ippo draws a straight line, Kamogawa notes that the specialist exams turned up nothing, no symptoms of nervous system damage, and no concrete evidence. However, Kamogawa's suspicions are not cleared, with Kamogawa suspecting Ippo still had cumulative damage since Ippo can't take a punch as well as he used to, and his sense of range seems distorted. Kamogawa believes that he needs to stop boxing for a while since he can't recover from his current injuries properly if he is boxing, or he may really end up punch drunk. Kamogawa orders Ippo to focus on healing, meaning no strain or tension on his head, and he doesn't want to see him wearing gloves or bandages. He adds that Ippo is banned from the gym for one month. Ippo claims that he will continue to exercise and roadwork, adding that he will keeping working on it by laying groundwork. Ippo states that Kamogawa came up with the idea and helped him train, and spent a lot of time with him, so he doesn't want to let it all go to waste. Ippo claims that he will be back in one month and promises Kamogawa that he will be ready to use the new Dempsey Roll. Ippo begins doing training to help build up his new Dempsey Roll.
