Summary
Ippo knows he can not keep on fighting and begins to fall, but it is Kamogawa's voice encouraging him that keep him standing. Both trainers know that their opponents will fall with any punch their boxers throw, but it is Ippo the one who attacks first. Despite taking the initiative, Ippo's hit has no power behind it, and barely touches Sanada. It is now Sanada's turn, and he takes advantage of the opportunity to throws his final punch. However, he is so exhausted, that he collapses by the effort of his own attack and falls to the ground leaving the audience in shock. Ippo is then sent to the neutral corner while the referee decides whether it is a down or a slip. Making his decision, the referee crosses his arms and brings the match to an end. Having successfully defended his belt, Ippo states he wants nothing but to rest, and immediately sits down.
