That Which Looks So Similar, or Copycat in the official K Manga English translation is Round 103 of Jōji Morikawa's Hajime no Ippo manga series.
Details[]
- Title Page Character(s): Genji Kamogawa, Ippo Makunouchi
Summary[]
Sendō is infuriated about the fact that Ippo is now using a stance identical to his own, and attacks with a straight. Ippo dodges, and throws a jab, which as noted by Sendō, has no power. Sendō continues to attack, and Ippo does nothing but dodging, until he launches a straight from a diagonal-downward angle very similar to the Smash but in a straight line. The punch barely brushes past Sendō's cheek causing minimal damage. Sendō launches his smash, and Ippo counters. They connect at the same time which causes them to lose balance, but is Ippo who suffers the most. They each launch an attack at the same time again, but Ippo, remembering his second fight with Miyata, throws a more compact punch, which lands cleanly before Sendō's Smash and sends him to the floor.
