Details
- Title Page Character(s): Ippo Makunouchi, Hisato Kojima, Masaru Aoki, Manabu Itagaki
Summary
As Ippo tells Kojima that he can't put a reservation on his JBC belt, Aoki points out to Ippo that he is trying to provoke him. Itagaki comments that it is rude to say something like that to a champion. After Kojima asks Itagaki who he is, Itagaki gets angry. Kojima continues provoking Ippo about how small he is and notes how his punches will break him, however, Ippo thinks Kojima is still a nice guy and provocations are common before a match. When Kojima claims that Ippo's previous opponents such as Sendō, Sawamura, and Shimabukuro were crappy boxers, hacks, and jokers, Ippo asks him why he would say that, as he believes them to be good boxers. After Kojima's further provocations, Ippo walks away, telling him that he will see him in the ring, going home without seeing Saeki and Maezono's match. Itagaki yells at Aoki, who agreed to sign an autograph for him since he is a fan of Aoki's, for not attacking Kojima for what he said to Ippo. Mari approaches Itagaki and Aoki as she heard a bit of what Kojima said, thinking that he is a bold challenger. Aoki notes how he doesn't remember Kojima being so talkative. Itagaki claims that Kojima really pushed Ippo's buttons, as Ippo doesn't get mad when someone is mean to him, however, he hates it when someone talks badly about others.
