Summary
Ippo tells Kamogawa and Yagi that he wishes to accept Karasawa's challenge in the one month time frame even if he is confident about having a way to deal with his Dempsey Roll. The office phone rings and Kamogawa answers, thinking it is the Kinoshita gym. However, it turns out to be Takamura, who informs Kamogawa that he is going to be away on a trip until the "boom" passes, confusing Kamogawa. After getting off the phone, Kamogawa confirms to Ippo that he will be fighting Karasawa. Sanada arrives at the Kinoshita gym to talk with Karasawa about his upcoming title match with Ippo. Sanada warns Karasawa that Ippo is stronger than when he fought him, but Karasawa claims that he is not the same as he was back then either. Karasawa mentions to him how the odds of him winning against Ippo are 30%, but he believes that it is worth the shot. Sanada claims that Ippo's punches aren't normal and even if they graze someone, they can feel like he knocked their head off. Karasawa guess that he has to rely on his guts to win and asks Sanada for his advice. As Sanada leaves the gym, he believes that the odds of the invincible losing a quite high. Later, Ippo is training for more powerful sideways twisting motions by hitting logs, which he bought from his prize money, with a hammer into a hillside as Itagaki watches. Itagaki realises he is training his Dempsey Roll, as the New Dempsey Roll puts great strain on his body. He believes that Ippo doesn't want to give up on the Dempsey Roll, and wonders how Karasawa will counter it as Ippo continues to polish the technique. After learning that Ippo bought the logs so he can train even while outside the gym, Itagaki thinks that someone replaced Ippo's brain with a boxing glove. Later, Ippo runs while Kamogawa follows on a scooter. Kamogawa, knowing that everyone says Ippo will win, thinks that it will be tough.
