Summary
While Ippo is doing roadwork, Itagaki notices that Ippo has been motivated by Miyata and Mashiba's matches. Ippo claims that it includes his match as well. Ippo asks him what he thinks the difference between each other are. Itagaki thinks it is Ippo being a champion and him a ranker, however, Ippo explains that it is their ages, and that since he is older, he had the chance of becoming a champion before him, adding that being older doesn't make him better as there are things he can't do that Itagaki can, expressing how he is glad he doesn't have to fight Itagaki. Itagaki is excited to hear that, telling Ippo that he should be just as honest with Kumi, making Ippo down. When Ippo and Itagaki go to the Kamogawa gym, they see Aoki and Kimura sparring each other to prepare for the Class A Tournament. Itagaki comments how he can't tell if they are sparing or brawling, making Aoki and Kimura irritated and thinking that Itagaki is acting uppity because he won a match, claiming that because they are older, it makes them better than Itagaki. Kamogawa and Yagi approaches the group and tells the gym members that he will not be in the gym for a while, so he tells them that it is true that their every day efforts are what allow them to make progress, however, the opposite is true as well, as their every day efforts are what defines their weaknesses, so he advises them to remember that they are a boxer 24 hours a day, and to keep in mind on things they lack and need. Kamogawa reveals that Ippo has an upcoming match. Yagi explains that it is the undefeated Indonesian champion with only three matches in his record. Kamogawa notes that he is an unrivalled genius.
