- Title Page Character(s): Takeshi Sendō, Akira Shigeta. Ippo Makunouchi
Summary
Sendō's powerful shot causes Shigeta to lose his mouthpiece and fall to the floor. Kamogawa finally notices Sendō's new muscles and realises it was Yanaoka ho helped the champion achieve them. As Shigeta lies in pain, his trainer yells at him to stand up. Shigeta gets on his feet and appears to be calm, as he expected the current situation could happen. He remembers the plan for the right-cross counter and is ready to keep fighting. As Sendō closes in with a left, Shigeta throws his counter, but Sendō's new speed is more than the challenger can handle. Sending Shigeta to the ropes with a powerful blow, Sendō is relentless and keeps hitting Shigeta despite the fact that he is unconscious while standing. Ippo yells at Sendō to stop, but Kamogawa remarks that he is trying to kill him, and yells at Shigeta's corner to throw the towel. Shigeta's trainer is too focused on having lost the belt and is unable to throw in the towel. When the referee stops Sendō, Shigeta finally falls to the canvas and Sendō is declared the winner without a count. With the match over, Kamogawa tells Ippo that Shigeta's career is over and it is his trainer's fault. Sendō makes his way to the downed opponent and kneels in front of him. However, despite the gentleman attitude everyone assumes Sendō is having, the champion tells Shigeta that since they will not be fighting ever again, he will let him know (as a response to the continuous taunts) "That's what I got!".
