Hajime no Ippo (Fighting Spirit) Chapter 1026
Hajime no Ippo (Wikipedia)
Weekly Shōnen Magazine (Japanese Website)
"Grind"

*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.
