When the Kamogawa Boxing Gym members arrived to the Ishino Boxing Gym, the Ishino Coach had Komori spar against Makunouchi Ippo.
As soon as the spar begun, Ippo dominated Komori with only his left jabs that had power behind them. Surprised, Komori backed up against the ropes and received a double left. As Ippo prepared to launch his straight, he felt insecure about the injury and stopped midway, allowing Komori to attack. They continued sparring but Ippo repeated his mistake twice and the Ishino coach stopped the match to prevent any further damage towards Ippo.
