Summary
Ippo is shocked that there is a man among the monkeys and continues to watch the video to see if he can learn anything else. The next day, Ippo reports his findings to Aoki, Kimura, and Itagaki, predicting that the champion is a fast fighter with great punches. Ippo finds out from Itagaki that the champion's trainer is Miguel, who he remembers from Takamura's match against Hawk, and is a world famous trainer that trained six world champions. After a training session of having the Indonesian champion Wally doing jump roping and dodging rocks, the villagers are worried about Wally's chances of winning and him getting hurt, however, Miguel tells them that he doesn't even need to win his next match and that it is impossible to not get hurt in boxing, especially against his next opponent, Ippo, who he deems strong. Miguel adds that Wally is capable of becoming a world champion one day, mentioning to Wally that if he does become world champion, he can achieve his dream of wanting others to not mess with nature, as he will gain the world's attention and be able to spread his word. Wally claims that Miguel is a great teacher and that it is okay if he loses as long as he learns more, as he loves boxing. When the villagers get worried again as Miguel claims that experience is more important even if he loses, Miguel points out that he never anything about him losing. Wishing to observe how monkeys act in their natural habitat, Ippo goes to the Shimono Zoo, however, the monkeys there are not active. Ippo is approached by Mari, and he tells her about his upcoming match. While Ippo is worried, Mari claims that Ippo and Wally are at even ground since they both have a famous trainer, which raises Ippo's spirits.
