01:29He gets in three solid blows!
01:37Another clean hit!
01:39And that's another round!
01:46It was a fast three minutes of offense and defense!
01:49This time, Makano Uji scores the most hits!
01:52Another ten seconds and you could have had him!
01:56I'm sure it's having an effect on him.
01:57You'll get him in the next round!
02:00Huh?
02:00Hmm?
02:01What's wrong?
02:03It's not having an effect!
02:04Run that by me again!
02:06He's not reacting!
02:07And I hit him really hard just then!
02:09But it didn't phase him at all!
02:14It didn't do anything!
02:15It's gonna take a lot more for me to beat him!
02:19I'm definitely connecting my punches, but something's wrong!
02:31With everyone else I fought, I'd feel the impact in my shoulders!
02:34It's not the same with him!
02:36Is that what you're worried about?
02:38From where I was sitting, Dante's head was twisted way back!
02:40You're scoring hits out there!
02:42Don't sweat it!
02:43Listen, kid, I think you're just a little too caught up in the action to really know what's going on!
02:47Alright!
02:49You gotta believe in yourself!
02:50In this match, you're clearly in the lead!
02:52You're getting through to him!
02:53Just keep doing what you're doing, alright?
02:55Yes, sir!
02:56Say it like you mean it!
02:57Yes, sir!
02:58Now stay close and jab him, understand?
03:01Yes, sir!
03:02That was embarrassing!
03:05It must have looked to everyone like I was saved by the bell!
03:08But damn!
03:10He's a hard nut to crack at close range!
03:12Mr. Dante!
03:13Try to back off of him for the next round and rest up!
03:16At least until the odds are in your favor!
03:17You're not going to get anywhere staying in his range like that!
03:20You gotta go back to your own style of boxing, Mr. Dante!
03:24Huh?
03:25What is it?
03:27This is also my kind of boxing!
03:31I bet we'll be seeing a lot more footwork from the champ this next round!
03:35That last punch really got him good!
03:37Well, I don't know!
03:38So far, Ippo's stepping in even faster than usual!
03:41Even with footwork, the champ's gonna end up taking a pounding!
03:44From the looks of it, he's gonna be up against the wall no matter what he does!
03:47It's starting to look more like it could happen!
03:50That belt's within reach!
03:52Huh!
03:53You really think it's gonna be that easy?
03:55Huh?
03:55That's not just any old guy he's fighting!
03:58That guy's the champ!
04:00Hmm...
04:01All the same, his strategy's shot to hell!
04:05How you gonna pull yourself out of this one, you old geezer?
04:09Tournament out!
04:10And now round three begins!
04:12Will the champ be able to shake off the damage he got in that last round?
04:16It's looking good for the challenger!
04:18This could be the round he makes it all happen!
04:20He's really doing it!
04:21He might just be able to get him in this next round!
04:23Nah!
04:24Ippo's got his work cut out for him!
04:25That chance no walk in the park!
04:27You got him, Ippo!
04:29Just finish the job!
04:30If I could make him retreat, I'd get my big chance!
04:34I'll just keep pushing no matter what!
04:38What's this?
04:39The champ makes a surprise lunge forward!
04:42Take him out!
04:43All right!
04:43It swings through thin air!
04:46And it's another rapid exchange of punches!
04:49Hey, please!
04:50You gotta say something to him!
04:51He's starting to lose his cool out there!
04:53Mm-hmm!
04:55Damn it!
04:55He's got the rhythm down cold!
04:57A hit!
05:00Makanuchi gets tagged by a lock!
05:07You may be fast, but you're not putting Ippo down with a light punch.
05:11Stretch his stuff, champ!
05:13But keep this up and you'll end up just another old guy in boxing gloves.
05:19The champ takes a chop to his liver!
05:23He charges into the champ like an unstoppable beast!
05:26Relentlessly hammering at his guard with inhuman strength!
05:29Hit lower!
05:30Go for his gut and he lowers guard!
05:34Now!
05:34It happened again!
05:49No feeling in the impact!
05:57Why doesn't it hurt him?
05:59Why?
06:00I don't get it!
06:03I don't get it!
06:14That's it!
06:15He twisted his neck!
06:17He's twisting his own neck to absorb the punch!
06:19That explains the huge twist!
06:23He's doing it himself!
06:25In the middle of that close-range fight, he took the kid's power blow!
06:29Hmph!
06:30He smothered that punch!
06:33It's not working!
06:34He has no damage!
06:36No!
06:38Keep fighting!
06:43He is down!
06:47He is down!
06:49Maka Nouchi's glove is on the mat!
06:51Barely holding him up!
06:52One!
06:52One!
06:53Two!
06:53Three!
06:54One!
06:54Two!
06:54Three!
06:55One!
06:55Two!
06:56Three!
06:56One!
06:57Two!
06:57Three!
06:58One!
06:58Two!
06:59Three!
06:59One!
07:00Two!
07:00Three!
07:01One!
07:02Two!
07:03Three!
07:03One!
07:04Two!
07:05One!
07:06I didn't expect that!
07:07He can smother punches by twisting his neck!
07:10I didn't think that was possible!
07:12The more I fight him, the more I understand why he's the champion!
07:19Even the way he's calmly looking down at me from his neutral corner!
07:23Nobody could pull off that look better than him!
07:29Five!
07:30Six!
07:31Huh?
07:32I'm fine, I can go on!
07:35Why do I admire him so much?
07:38I'm the one he's looking down on!
07:40He's gonna be alright, isn't he?
07:43It's only a flashdown, he's not really hurting!
07:46Hey kid, flashdown's nothing to worry about, have faith in yourself!
07:50You gotta hit this guy, all the technique in the world won't matter as long as you throw
07:53more punches than he can handle!
07:55Right!
07:56Yeah!
07:57He's back in the game!
07:58You got it bro, just lay into him!
08:00That knockdown's got the whole crowd on the edge of their seat!
08:03The name Makanawuchi has become synonymous with comeback!
08:07Will he once again be able to live up to his own name?
08:10He won't be ready for this many punches!
08:13The challenger throws a left!
08:15Another!
08:16A powerful swing and there's no sign of damage from the knockdown!
08:20Jante!
08:21Just be careful!
08:22You knock him down, that's when you gotta worry!
08:24You think we're kidding?
08:25But it's half of every time!
08:26Etho's about to turn into a killing machine!
08:28You knock him down and he always turns it around!
08:31Cool!
08:32Yeah!
08:33No damage, he's looking good!
08:34Let's go!
08:35Keep slamming!
08:36Break his focus!
08:37The challenger throws a series of fierce punches from below!
08:40But the champ is quick to block his efforts!
08:42Whoa!
08:43These destructive voices intense!
08:44It's only a matter of time until he breaks through his guard!
08:47That's good, Epo!
08:48Keep hammering into him!
08:49He can't twist his body if you throw a body blow!
08:51You'll break him down soon enough!
08:52Eh?
08:53Way to go, Epo!
08:58You don't see what's going on, do ya?
09:00What's that?
09:01It might seem like those body blows are tearing into him, but if you look real close,
09:05you'll see he's blocking the worst of it!
09:06The champ is not just taking the blows, he's diverting them with his guard and sending the force of the impact away from his body!
09:15I got a bad feeling that the kid's gonna worry because he still can't feel an impact!
09:22No impact!
09:25The punches just fizzle out!
09:27He's smothering everything I throw at him!
09:29According to the experts, it takes an average of .2 seconds for the brain to fire orders to the nerves that create movement!
09:35A fighter's punches come flying up faster than .2 seconds!
09:39It's possible for a foreign fighter with muscular flexibility to divert a blow as soon as it hits!
09:44But for a Japanese boxer lacking in muscular flexibility to master the same skill, it's foresight!
09:51And I'm not talking about just any foresight!
09:55The champ's got amazing insight!
09:57He watches, he learns everything from the speed of the swing to the angle, even the kid's character!
10:03And once he knows what the kid's thinking, he can block anything!
10:08If they're paying attention, they gotta figure it out by now!
10:12And I just know it's got them scared!
10:14Okida, do you remember what Date said about Maka Nauchi at the end of round one?
10:18Date said he was the most powerful challenger ever!
10:21Uh, right!
10:23Date's making changes!
10:25He knows that Ippo's a lot different from the boxer he used to be!
10:28So Date's testing his mettle throughout the fight!
10:31That way, he can figure out his opponent's technical and spiritual limits!
10:36The challenger's become an open book!
10:38Date can easily beat him to the punch because he knows what he's thinking and where he's going to move next!
10:43If Date can really read his thoughts, he'll know that the kid's frustrated that his punches aren't having more of an effect!
10:51The kid will want to punch harder and faster!
10:54And if he becomes impatient enough, he'll start throwing roundhouses!
10:58My punches aren't doing anything!
11:00I have to put him down with something soft or else he's gonna knock me down again!
11:04Don't do it!
11:09The champion scores a clean punch!
11:18He knew I was gonna throw a roundhouse!
11:21The champion makes his move!
11:24He pounces into the challenge with both fists pounding!
11:28Maka no Uchi is frozen in his tracks as a lethal barrage rains upon him!
11:33He's in big trouble!
11:34Oh, that's gotta hurt!
11:37Maka no Uchi is getting clobbered and he can't seem to bite back!
11:40It's looking like the comeback just isn't gonna happen!
11:44He starts to slip!
11:46Will this be another knockdown?
11:48Will he fall?
11:51That's the end of the round!
11:53The challenger is saved by the bell!
11:56This round clearly went to the champ!
11:58He flawlessly beat the young challenger at his own game!
12:01Mercilessly outpunching him at close range!
12:08Would you look at that pose!
12:10He asks the question loud enough for the whole arena to hear!
12:13Who is the strongest?
12:16Will he follow the worst reaction?
12:18What?!
12:20Will he defeat the trilogy Winter CHARitt Excellent dejaredi's Own Game
12:23Outoredалы Talkgendyt
12:28You are the man, 있으면 flake over you!
12:32One more round is almost gonna take to bust them wide open!
12:34You see that, Ipho?!
12:36Come back when you grow up!
12:43He really is a maniac!
12:46Mr. Date! You're going to win this one!
12:50Come here and sit down.
12:52Rest up, champ.
12:53You smothered those power punches, but you were still taking some of the shot.
12:57It's some hard work, I gotta tell you.
13:00Don't talk, Date.
13:02You have to save as much of your strength as you can for the next round.
13:05Don't worry. I'll have all the energy I need.
13:08Because by my watch, it's just about time to put him to sleep.
13:13He's swelling. Get some ice.
13:14Right. Let's stop the bleeding.
13:17Don't let it get you down. The champ is starting to falter. He's starting to hurt.
13:21But I can't land a decisive punch. He's always one step ahead of me every time I try to throw one.
13:26Do I punch in a way that tells him what's coming next?
13:28I don't know. Maybe he's reading it off my rhythm and my footwork.
13:32I'm afraid the whole thing's a lot more complicated than that.
13:35It'd be just about impossible for anyone to predict your punches just by reading your quirks.
13:39Huh?
13:40When two boxers fight each other, the one who wins can usually detect the character and emotions of his opponent.
13:45And that's what we call insight.
13:47He has insight?
13:48The kind of insight Dante has to smother all those punches can only come from years of experience.
13:54It sounds like something only a veteran could pull off.
13:58His knowledge increases every year that he fights. He has a lot of experience, and that is his greatest weapon against you.
14:04But you're young enough to have the courage to let go of your fear when you have to.
14:10And that's the edge you have against him.
14:13Now he's gonna try to finish you off this next round. Don't back off, no matter what. Exchange blows with him every chance you get.
14:19All right.
14:20Now what's the key to infighting?
14:22Hit him small, tight, and fast.
14:23Okay, say it again.
14:24Hit him small, tight, and fast.
14:27Go get him, kid.
14:28Time for round four. The damage is clearly visible on the challenger. It's an opportunity for the champion to close the deal. Could this be the round?
14:38This really is an incredible fight. It's the strongest I've ever seen, Mr. Dante. His boxing is flawless. I have a whole new respect for him.
14:47The champion makes his move, but the challenger is ready.
14:51They fall into another exchange of blows.
15:01Look, Trampline's an uppercut. You know he's feeling it now.
15:08Remember, hit him small, tight.
15:15It's only a matter of time now. A knockout might be just too much to hope for.
15:20You can't pray for a miracle every time.
15:23What are you saying? He's always given us a reason to believe in him.
15:26He's going to turn it around. I'm sure of it. A miracle is on its way.
15:32That's your classmate out there, Umazawa.
15:34What kind of a lousy excuse for a cheerleader are you?
15:37You're right, teach.
15:39Hey, class B! Let me hear you shout!
15:41You can do it, Ippo!
15:43Get it back, killer!
15:44I know you can do it, Ippo!
15:46Maka no Uchi! Maka no Uchi! Maka no Uchi! Maka no Uchi!
15:51The cry of Maka no Uchi erupts from a small group of dedicated fans.
15:56He's sticking to his guns, but can he block this?
16:00He's open. That's my chance.
16:02Hit him small. Hit him tight.
16:05My swing's too low.
16:07No time to block it.
16:08But I can smother it.
16:09And fast!
16:17A left from Maka no Uchi!
16:20I did it! I got him with my best punch!
16:23The champ is blown backwards!
16:25That's the way you do it! Now get him again!
16:28You listen to me, kid. Now here's your chance.
16:31Take him out!
16:32He follows the left with a chop to the liver!
16:35Still standing?
16:39All right!
16:47Another one!
16:48A perfect gazelle punch! It was a clean hit!
16:51Good!
16:52I felt the impact!
16:53Exactly the same as when I knocked down Borg!
16:56There's no way he's gonna get up from that!
17:02Oh no!
17:03How's he still standing?
17:15That was the punch that defeated Borg!
17:19The truth is, Evo, your fists are light.
17:21You're gonna need more than that to defeat me.
17:25Don't my punches do anything to him?
17:29Good punch.
17:30For a second, I thought my brain was gonna shoot right out the top of my skull.
17:34But it's nothing more than a strong punch from somebody that loves boxing so much.
17:40That's all the more reason I can't fall.
17:46Now, feel the full weight of a champion's fist!
17:50I've locked it!
17:58I've locked it!
18:09He got through his guard!
18:11He pried right through it!
18:13Oh no!
18:14I think he's got a concussion!
18:16He'll wail on him.
18:17When it comes to pure destructive power, both Sendo and Borg were stronger.
18:30But there's something in the champ's punches that's different.
18:34It's almost as if every punch he throws is telling me I'll never lose.
18:38Is this what it means to have the fists of a champion?
18:51The champion launches a fierce barrage!
18:53He doesn't flinch from Makanuchi's finishing blow that had sent ten men to the canvas!
18:58I really don't understand it.
19:00He's taking dozens of clean hits from Meepo and he can still punch back!
19:03I never knew that Date could take hits so well!
19:05The old guy lost the world match in two rounds by KO!
19:09He doesn't take punches as well as you might think!
19:12But what he lacks in grit, he makes up for!
19:15With perseverance!
19:17He was stumbling about a minute ago.
19:19No doubt about it, the damage has taken its toll!
19:23The kid was probably too out of it to notice!
19:25If he doesn't pay attention, he might still believe his punches aren't working!
19:28My Libertad-Gazelle combo was absolutely perfect!
19:36How can he still be hitting me with so much force?
19:42Aren't my punches getting through to him?
19:49What can I do?
19:50He's looking at the old guy's face, all twisted in pain, and he's thinking it's the devil himself.
19:56Don't let him freak you out, you moron!
19:58This is a chance for you to win!
20:00Cliff Challenger is starting to lose his balance!
20:04A corkscrew!
20:05A powerful right!
20:14Just barely blocked!
20:17He's aiming for his heart!
20:18He's going for the finish, just like he said he would!
20:21It's too early for him to try the heartbreaker!
20:25That last gazelle punch he took really hurt him bad!
20:31Stay focused, kid, when you block that punch!
20:34He's all steadied up on the heartbreaker!
20:36You're going down, teacher's pet!
20:39He threw a finishing blow, and it turned into a roundhouse!
20:43I can hit him if I lash out!
20:45But what?
20:49What do I use on him?
20:51A left!
20:53The champion scores with a swing to the face!
20:55The challenger's knees are giving way!
21:00He struggles to stay up!
21:02What should I do now?
21:04How do I fight him?
21:07The champion rushes in!
21:09The challenger is frozen to the floor!
21:12He's fighting different than every single video I've ever seen him in!
21:16It's not fair!
21:18I did everything I could!
21:19How in the world am I supposed to beat him?
21:23Look!
21:23He's stuck!
21:24He's not blocking anything!
21:26He can't take much more of that!
21:28It's looking bad for him, chief!
21:30You think we should stop the fight?
21:31You want me to throw in the towel?
21:34What's the matter, kid?
21:35Don't you know what you're supposed to do when you're against the ropes?
21:38What happened to all that courage you had during the board fight?
21:41Come on!
21:45Body blow!
21:46A full punch to the gut!
21:48And Maka Nouchi starts to slip!
21:50Is he finally going down?
21:52How do I fight him?
21:56What am I supposed to do against a guy like this?
21:58What am I supposed to do against a guy like this?
22:28Body burn!
22:31Tonight?
22:32Tomorrow's the only way to go!
22:41If that's where you're moving high with me!
22:47Tomorrow is my only chance!
22:52I can't deal with my love
23:00I don't want to mistake the place to live
23:08With a place to live
23:13I can't help myself live in the same
23:22Challenger, the champ's opponent in a title match
23:25Many boxers fight over that, right?
23:27And the one who fights his way to the top
23:29Gets his chance at the belt
23:30I fought some incredible opponents
23:32Whose punches came fast and heavy
23:34And all of those experiences trained me
23:37And taught me the lessons I needed
23:38So I could now be in the ring with the champion
23:40I'm going to use everything I've got on him
23:43So long as I can raise my arms and move my body
23:46I won't give up
23:47Next round, conclusion
23:52Thank you
