Summary
Kimura hitting Eleki with a liver blow leads him to confirm that he has overcame his weakness, much to Kimura's dismay. Kimura continues to aim for Eleki's body, seeing if more hits to his body will do anything. In the Kamogawa gym's room in the venue, Aoki envies Kimura, thinking that all he has to do is aim for the body. Aoki knows that Eleki's specialty is counters, so he is sure Kimura is being careful about it. Back at the ring, Kimura is downed from one of Eleki's counters due to Kimura being dragged into Eleki's rhythm. Kimura gets up and dodges Eleki's attacks while trying to keep away. Hiroshi and Isamu inform Aoki that it is the seventh round now, and that they don't see a come-back happening as Kimura is only throwing body blows. In the seventh round, Kimura is still hitting Eleki with body blows while also taking counters for it. Ippo thinks Kimura really shouldn't be aiming just low, but then realises that Kimura is aiming for his Sunday Punch.
