Summary
Ippo is ordered by his coach to do shadow boxing after road work and not sparring due to his injury. However, the coach reveals to Yagi that his fist is actually healed.
Meanwhile, Mashiba's sister brings him his boxing gear. Mashiba's boss is annoyed that he did not thank her, but tells her that he is a good man, albeit "a bit antisocial".
Meanwhile at their respective gyms, both Ippo and Mashiba are in the middle of sparring sessions, with both of them easily outclassing their opponents and impressing spectators. As the fighters finish the sparring, their respective coaches note to themselves that they are going to win.
