Ippo | The Leaves has Fruits

#boxer #boxingtraining #takamura
Ippo continues trying to catch the leafs for a whole week over and over again, day and night. Meanwhile, he finds out that he needs the * sound Takamura made with his fist **. He remembers how Takamura moved his fist, and **copied it until he made it**. Ippo makes his* first jab**, and then continues to throw jabs until he stops so he can do it to catch ten leafs as Takamura said to him. The next day, as Takamura does some roadwork he finds Ippo sitting in the side of the track, waiting for him. Ippo said that he has found the way to catch ten leafs. As Takamura is waiting, Ippo hits the tree, for the leafs to come down and gets ready to catch ten of them. Ippo starts to throw jabs but he only catches ten leafs with his left, and not his both hands. Takamura is surprised and tells him to throw jabs. Ippo over does it, and Takamura gets angry and makes a swing at him to stop. The next day, Takamura introduces Ippo to the Kamogawa Boxing Gym, but as Ippo tries to say hello to the other gym mates, Genji Kamogawa and Haruhiko Yagi come out of the room and see the new face Takamura brought to the gym, Ippo. He takes Takamura immediately behind the door and shouts that Ippo is not the kind of person for boxing and that he is disappointed with him. Afterwards Takamura takes Ippo to the changing room and to tell him that he will be sparring. Ippo doesn't like the sound of it, but he changes and gets ready for his sparring match. As Ippo comes out with Takamura and sees Kamogawa and Yagi, Takamura asks of who he will be sparring, and Kamogawa shows Ichirō Miyata. Ippo gets in the ring, with Takamura as his second. The bell rings and Ippo swings completely off what boxing is, Miyata just catches and leaves Ippo's fists as they are nothing at all. Takamura shouts to Ippo to be the turtle and he does it. As Ippo left his body wide open, Miyata comes out with a body blow, and then with a left he hits him in the face as Ippo goes down talking to himself, that he cannot understand what happened, and that it was really quick.
