Summary
As the announcer claims the match between Ippo and Kojima will begin, Mashiba tells Kumi that he wasn't planning on cheering for Ippo at all, and the box seat next to him consisting of Sendō, Saeki, Date, and Okita loudly encouraging for Ippo to beat Kojima is irritating him. As Kojima walks to the ring, he remembers the letter from Aki, which said that their first child she is pregnant with is going to be a boy, and that she decides on naming it a combination of his and Ippo's name, naming it "Kazuto." After Ippo and his seconds leave the waiting room to start walking to the ring, Aoki tells Kimura that he is worried since Kojima is one of his fans and even asked for his autograph, but he doesn't know when it would be a good time to give him one, resulting in Kimura hitting him. Before Itagaki leaves the room to watch Ippo fight Kojima, Takamura requests for him to tell Ippo to rehearse his words at the corner and expresses how he understands what Ippo is going through since he sees him as a brother, however, he does not know how Ippo will use his anger of his opponent talking poorly of Kamogawa. Takamura notes that the feeling of anger might make him stronger, or it could mess him up, but either way it's going to be something no one has ever seen before.
