Summary[]

Four days before Aoki, Kimura, and Itagaki's matches, Aoki and Itagaki can not keep up with Ippo, Taihei, and Kintarō during roadwork. Ippo informs his two students of the struggle they go through during weight control, warning Taihei and Kintarō that they will have to go through a similar process at one point. Taihei expresses his worry about Aoki being the main event, however Ippo reassures him that he does not see Aoki losing. Ippo claims to be worried about Itagaki, as he is convinced that he is in a slump, being that he may not be able to use what he did during practise in the ring and he can only get over the slump if he gathers a resolution on his own. Taihei then points out that Kimura is missing from the roadwork session. When Ippo says that Kimura is the one he is worried the most about despite his weight control schedule he made which Itagaki claims should be easy. Later, Ippo visits Kimura at the Kimura Gardening and catches him trying to drink out of his fish's water. As Kimura has trouble getting his weight down despite following Ippo's schedule, he decides to stop drinking water as he always done. Ippo then takes Kimura to a |sauna. In the sauna, when Kimura tells Ippo that he is used to using saunas for weight control, Ippo claims to never needing them as he could fall below the limit with just training. As Ippo sweats, Ippo acknowledges how Takamura and Miyata has to go through a great amount of sweat and it still is not enough. After ending the session without sweating, Kimura weighed himself and barely lost weight. Ippo then ran with Kimura to his house and instructs him to eat dried shittake and to not drink water, telling him that he will come back the next day. The next day after work, Ippo goes to Kimura's home.
