Summary[]
Everyone in the audience laughs as Kimura sits on the chair while it's on its side. Shinoda puts the chair on its correct angle, but while he's doing that, everyone notices his bald spot because his hat fell off and the laughter ensues. Kimura then gets angry at Shinoda and Ippo, thinking his match is a joke to them and they planned this. As Shinoda scolds Kimura, Ippo believes Shinoda is worried about the Free Information Center, in which Kimura calls Shinoda a "pervert", resulting in the latter not giving him any advice and telling him to do it on his own. Round three begins, Kimura goes on the offensive throwing big punches at his opponent's wide open body. His opponent clinches once before the round ends. Yagi receives the chair from Ippo while Kimura walks to his corner, visually exhausted. Ippo apologizes, but then Kimura states if he's really sorry, to give him advice, which Ippo fails to do so.
Round four begins as Kimura tells Ippo to think of something. During the fourth round, Kimura loses his drive and repeatedly gets hit until the round ends. While at his corner, Kimura wants to quit, Ippo, thinking of a way to give him strength, tells him about a movie he went to with Kumi. Ippo can only remember part of it's name, telling him it's called "Lady...". Kimura, wanting to know the full movie's title, gets enough strength to go another round. Round five begins with Kimura not wanting to go down until he knows the name, he clinches his opponent and makes his opponent fall with him. The round ends, at Kimura's corner, Ippo remembers the movie title, "Baahubali: The Beginning", now knowing the title, Kimura wants to quit, despite this, Ippo makes him to go another round.
In round six, Kimura immediately clinches without anyone throwing a punch, the round ends. At his corner, Kimura keeps stating he's done, but Ippo gives him advice about his opponent's left hook, that he drops his elbow low before throwing it and that all Kimura has to do is stick his hand out. Round seven begins, Kimura gets hit once, but after his opponent drops his elbow low, Kimura sticks his hand out and counters his opponent with his left. This causing his opponent to fall and a KO is declared, with Kimura winning the match, Ippo holds him up in celebration.
