Summary
Sendou 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 Sendou, has no power. Sendou 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 Sendou's cheek causing minimal damage. Sendou 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 Sendous smash and sends him to the floor.
