- Techniques Introduced: Ryūhei Sawamura's Boxing Style
- Title Page Character(s): Ryūhei Sawamura, Ippo Makunouchi
Summary[]
After Sawamura stalled for time as much as he could to recover his legs, the referee tells him that the match will resume and to get out of the corner. Surprised by how much Ippo has gotten stronger since his last match, Sawamura changes his stance, extending his left arm and springing his legs to Ippo's rhythm. Karil notes that this is Sawamura's true style, a side that he won't show unless he acknowledges that his opponent is strong. Ippo decides to go forward, feinting a left as Sawamura throws his left. Ippo proceeds to duck the left, however, before he could do anything, Sawamura's left is already in attacking position due to not having to pull his fist back far. Seeing a left coming again, Ippo barely blocks it as it shoots out at him.
