Summary

Aoki plans to go for Papaya's supposed weak jaw, as he noticed a mole on in on the picture. The match begins, and, when Aoki prepares to use his Frog Punch on his jaw, he gets shocked to see that the mole was now on his forehead, jumping away without attacking. He realises it was a trap when the "mole" dropped off his forehead. Aoki is able to hit Papaya, and gets him to the ropes, looking exhausted. Papaya looking hurt was only a trick of playing dead, which Aoki realises as he gets hit by Papaya's Coconut Punch, getting sent down. Kimura gets back into the audience with Ippo and Itagaki and notices that the punch Aoki was hit by was the Coconut Punch that Yagi mentioned. When he gets up, Aoki continues to get hit, unconsciously wondering if the haircut he would receive would look good.
