*Spoiler*

So, this chapter is pretty short by Ippo standards. Not a lot happens except for one major event: Imai & Itagaki have a dual exchange with powerful blows.

Itagaki takes a massive punch to the body while Imai takes an uppercut to the chin. Itagaki had already taken a heavy body blow at the beginning of the fight, so this may really mount some lasting damage. Also, if you look at both of the fighters, who benefits more from a dual exchange? The answer is obviously Imai.

This sort of corner slug-fest is exactly what Imai wanted. Itagaki played right into it by allowing himself to get trapped.

Will Itagaki pull this one out, or will Imai, the in-fighter, get the upset?

Keep reading and find out.
