Summary[]
Ippo walks the line with a slow steady pace. Everyone cheers that he was able to pass. Kamogawa tells Ippo to get in the ring to see first hand on it. Everyone wonder how Ippo's punches will be like without the weights on. Ippo starts throwing punches, but everyone seems to think he doesn't looks that different from before. Kamogawa is think that if Ippo's broken, it is going to be more obvious on defence, since his sense of range and reflexes will be distorted. Kamogawa throws a few punches at Ippo, but he is able to dodge but it looks like Ippo is able to fall over, he plans his left foot with one leg in the air and throw a punch at Kamogawa knocking him back. Everyone is amazed that Ippo was able to throw a heavy punch on one leg, while Kamogawa counter attacks for throw a wide punch. Ippo is able to dodge it, like before but on the opposite leg and throw a mirror image of the previous punch. Itagaki is surprised that Ippo throw a punch in the southpaw style, but remembers he was rotating hands while bowling. Kamogawa is amazed Ippo can pivot with both of his legs, as Ippo keeps punching. Ippo is rotating punches between left and right and from high to low pounding Kamogawa in the corner until Takamura stops him. Takamura asks the verdict, and Kamogawa mentions Ippo's passed.
