Summary
Takamura has Ippo remember his advice from earlier to fight like a champion and to remember the faces of his previous opponents. Takamura also reminded him that Kojima talked poorly of Kamogawa, something they both don't take lightly. At Kojima's waiting room, Kojima explains to two of his kōhai the weakness he knows that Ippo has, which is his fighting pattern of weaving with the Peek-a-Boo Style towards punches and then throwing a left hook, letting him take the pace whether the hook lands or not. He reveals his plan against Ippo to them, revealing that he will land a left counter when Ippo rises up to throw the left hook after Ippo ducks his attack. After everyone leaves his changing room to let him concentrate, he begins to regret being rude to Ippo and knows that what he said wasn't true, while also believing that the weakness he claims Ippo has isn't a weakness, but a great pattern. Kojima reads a letter his coach gave to him from Aki, which fires him up. As Ippo's seconds tells him to get ready, he gets fired up as well.
