Summary[]
With everyone in shock at the fact that Okita can use Corkscrew Blow, Ippo is frozen, and does nothing but reanalysing the situation. Ippo does not know where the next punch will come from, as Okita uses the same stance as Date. Okita feints a left and Ippo covers his left side as he figures it will be a right, but Okita's right is also a feint. He suddenly goes for the body and lands a clean punch on Ippo. At Kamogawa's advice, Ippo charges forward but is stopped by several jabs that he can not avoid. Ippo takes many jabs and his legs begin to shake, so he backs away despite Kamogawa repeatedly telling him not to, and falls into Okita's trap. Ippo is now cornered and defenceless when Okita blows his guard away and throws another Corkscrew Blow aimed right at his face.
