Summary
With Take downed, Hide cries out as Mari and Fujii wonders if it is already over. Take gets back up calmly by count of eight, and the match continues. Kamogawa agrees with Yagi that Take waited for the count to reach eight. With two minutes left, Ippo dashes in, but Take decides to also dash in and clinches. Ippo is surprised by this unexpected dash, as he asks himself if he is even hurt. Kamogawa yells again that the challenger's legs are weak and that Ippo can knock him down. Itagaki and Kimura discuss that clinches don't work anymore on Ippo, but Takamura explains that this clinch is different as Ippo's arms are both lifted up from his waist, holding them right above his shoulders, so there is no way to hit. The referee breaks them up again and again but Take continues to clinch, the crowd is annoyed at the challenger as they came to watch boxing not sumo wrestling, thinking that he's scared of Ippo's power. Kamogawa tells Ippo to put his elbows in to shake his weird clinch off and so he does just that successfully. As Ippo prepares a left body blow, Take throws his entire body onto him and shuts Ippo down from doing anything. While Itagaki and Kimura, like the crowd, believes that is cheap. Aoki believes that these are great skills and that Take is a good study material for him. While clinching, Take confidently tells Ippo that he has found his weakness, which shocks Ippo as he drops his guard and gets hit. Takamura realises that Take has managed to fully recover.
