Summary
Sanada advises Karasawa to not take the opening hit and to dodge Ippo's punches for the first round in order to remember his range and rhythm. Kamogawa instructs for Ippo to aim for Karasawa's body to shut down his legs and use lefts rather than big punches. When the match begins, Ippo enters into his Peek-a-Boo Style while Karasawa uses the orthodox style. Karasawa tries to hit Ippo first, however, Ippo intimidates him with his step-in speed and a missed left jab, making Karasawa switch to using his footwork, creating a distance between them.
