01:29I don't believe it.
01:31Saeki's so talented and he's getting torn apart.
01:33Saeki's so talented and he's getting torn apart.
01:42The match is over.
01:44The featherweight champ Takeshi Sendo triumphs in his first defending fight with a crushing first round KO.
01:52What a dominant flawless champ he's turned out to be.
01:55The second ranked challenger is destroyed in 67 seconds.
01:59Even though it's only his first defending fight, the Tiger of Naniwa already oozes style.
02:05It's hard not to start dreaming of his future on the world stage.
02:08KO time round one.
02:18One minute and seven seconds.
02:19Definitely a new record for shortest title match in Japanese featherweight history.
02:23Yeah.
02:24And on top of everything, you have to give the guy even more credit for setting the record against Saeki of all people.
02:30driving an opponent who's known as the speed star right into a corner and finishing him off in round one with a KO is hardly an average day's work.
02:38It's absolutely mind-blowing.
02:40I still believe that Ippo's the best puncher around, but I have to admit it did take him four rounds to take down Saeki.
02:45It was no accident.
02:48I was determined to take him down faster than Makano Uchi.
02:53I spotted you two up in the audience after the bell rang, but I got a little too fired up and actually set a new record.
02:59I really can't move on until I fight him again head to head.
03:02I have to win it without question or nobody will accept it.
03:06Even now, I still can't say that I'm the champion.
03:09So please, let me have a rematch with him.
03:17Let's see who's the best boxer in the country.
03:20Well, it's easy to see that you're just as impatient as ever.
03:24However, I got to admit that that's one of the things I like about you.
03:27Really? So are you saying you're going to let me have my fight?
03:30Now, don't get too excited.
03:31It's true Ippo's probably going to re-challenge the title not too far down the line,
03:35but no matter who the reigning champion is, the kid's going to take home the belt.
03:39I'd advise you to get your funeral plot picked out.
03:43It's easy to talk tough.
03:45However, you'd better think twice about the Dempsey rule because it won't work on me.
03:52Hey, it's Rocky!
03:55Hey, so that's where you ran off to.
03:58Hey, what are you doing?
04:00All the reporters are there waiting for you in the green room.
04:03Ah, put a sock in it. I'm having a very important discussion here.
04:06Yeah, well, your trainer's hopping mad at you.
04:08Is he really mad?
04:10You'd better hurry!
04:11Ah, all right.
04:13Good night, Mr. Kamigawa.
04:15Set up the match, okay?
04:17Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get going.
04:20Move it!
04:22Hey, who's the old fart with the cake?
04:24Pipe down, will ya?
04:26Hey, police! The bots are hitting little children!
04:28Hey, keep it down!
04:30Damn, you kids are a royal pain!
04:31Hey, Chief, what do you suppose he meant when he said the Dempsey role wouldn't work?
04:36Hmm.
04:41The match is over!
04:43The new champ Takeshi Sendo triumphs in his first defending fight with a crushing first-round KO!
04:50What a guy!
04:52Now let's recap the highlights of this amazing match!
04:55Saeki's not in bad shape at all!
05:03Sendo went in anyway!
05:05He's fighting tough, as always!
05:08He's just barely dodging the jabs by slipping under them!
05:11It's like he knows their trajectory before they've even been thrown!
05:16The challenger's on the ropes, and the champ hasn't even tried to hit him yet!
05:20Has he been driven back by sheer intimidation?
05:23No, there's more to it than that!
05:27He's doing that to warn Sendo that he's about to strike.
05:30That can psych you out more than the actual assault!
05:32Incredible!
05:37Saeki made all the right feints, but Sendo blocked his escape route as if he knew where he was going all along!
05:46He isn't anticipating the moves from experience like Date did.
05:50He's got his very own animal-like inner sense.
05:55Whoa!
05:56Saeki's down!
05:58The referee stopped the match!
06:00The match is over!
06:01He's strong.
06:08He's become such an overpowering threat since the time he fought me.
06:11Huh?
06:12Who could it be now?
06:16Chief!
06:17Won't you please come in?
06:19No, thanks.
06:20I'll stay here.
06:21How about that fight?
06:23Did you see it?
06:24Sure did.
06:25Well, what'd you think about it?
06:29I'm in shock.
06:31It was pretty obvious that Sendo thought he'd better finish off Saeki in the first round.
06:36He's gotten so much stronger.
06:38A lot stronger than he was when he had to fight me and Vorg.
06:42It's only been a year and a half since All Japan Rookie of the Year.
06:47He's improved at superhuman speed.
06:49And you can take all the credit for that.
06:50Huh?
06:51Inherent ability and daily training.
06:53The self-confidence that comes from wearing the belt.
06:56The empty bitterness he tasted when the Vorg fight ultimately came down to points.
07:00They're more than enough to inspire a fighter's rapid growth.
07:03However, there's still only secondary ingredients.
07:08He did it all for the sake of defeating you.
07:11I can see it in his eyes.
07:13He's in the process of becoming an absolute monster.
07:18And you're the one who made him that way.
07:20He's thinking of you.
07:22I'm going to set up a match.
07:23It's going to be you against the featherweight champion Takeshi Sendoh.
07:28This time you're going to go out and take the belt for sure.
07:30Mm-hmm.
07:31We're going to training camp.
07:33Yes, sir.
07:34But I'm warning you it's going to make you cry from start to finish.
07:39The belt.
07:40Sir, you know I really want it.
07:43I mean, after all, it's every boxer's dream.
07:45But still, I don't care about the title.
07:48I want to fight him.
07:50We have a score to settle.
07:54When we fought, he left the ring unconscious.
07:56And I was on the verge of losing by KO as well.
08:02I can't help but wondering what would have happened if the match had continued.
08:06It's weird, but it kind of feels like the match never ended.
08:09Yeah.
08:11Mm-hmm.
08:11That's why Sendoh's hung up on it, too.
08:14Sorry to barge in so late, kid.
08:16Uh, Chief?
08:17Yeah?
08:18Um, the Dempsey roll.
08:20Huh?
08:20I hate to say it, but I don't think it's going to work on Sendoh.
08:24Kid.
08:25Don't clutter your mind with unnecessary thoughts right now.
08:33So, the Chief already came to the same conclusion.
08:40Hey, hurry up!
08:41Okay!
08:43Oh, man, I'm so glad we're doing camp this year.
08:45And check out the weather.
08:46It's August, and it's smooth sailing.
08:48Yep.
08:48Sun and fun.
08:49The sweet Mother Ocean's calling us back, right?
08:52Not exactly.
08:53After all, we've still got a train.
08:55Look at the precious little beach things you've tucked away.
08:58Hey, it's rude to paw through people's stuff.
09:00Ooh, you're so high and mighty.
09:01Oh, right.
09:03You nitwits are barking up the wrong tree about something, aren't you?
09:05Oh, no, sir.
09:06We're only making plans for after hours.
09:08We'll be training our butts off.
09:10Don't worry.
09:10That's not what I meant.
09:12Huh?
09:12This year's destination is...
09:15The mountains.
09:17Oh.
09:18Aren't we there yet?
09:25This is getting ridiculous.
09:27I suppose your buddy's some old hermit.
09:29Shut up before I kill you.
09:31Huh?
09:32Did you see that sign that we just drove by?
09:34It said, look out for bears.
09:35We're getting deeper and deeper into hillbilly heaven.
09:38This must be a cruel joke.
09:39There can't be a lodge here.
09:40Knock off all the whining and get ready to get the hell out.
09:43We're here.
09:50Yoshio's Lodge.
09:51What was this guy smoking?
09:53You'd have to be nuts to build here.
09:55Who wants to live on the edge of a cliff like this?
09:57It looks like it's ready to collapse and topple over the edge any time now.
10:00I like living next door to danger.
10:03Uh-huh.
10:08Nakoda, good to see you.
10:10Ken, you old dog, you're here.
10:12It's been ages.
10:22You sure haven't lost your touch.
10:24And you sure haven't either.
10:26I can't believe those are the moves of men over 70.
10:28I couldn't even see those punches and I was looking.
10:30Fellas, this is Ginpachi Nakoda.
10:32He owns this wonderful mountain lodge you see in back of us.
10:35It's named for Japan's first world champion, Yoshio Shirai.
10:38So tell me, Ken, are these young men your students?
10:40That big one must be Takabara, right?
10:43Hey, you've heard about me out here in the boonies?
10:45Oh, sure.
10:46I order all kinds of boxing videos and sports papers down at the foot of the mountain.
10:51You're the reigning Japanese middleweight champ with three KOs.
10:55Yeah.
10:55Wow.
10:56I'm impressed.
10:57That title fight the other day was real close, wasn't it, Makanuuchi?
11:00Mr. Nakoda, you know about me too?
11:02That's really terrific.
11:03Come on, you're famous.
11:05That means you two must be...
11:07Oh.
11:08He's heard about us too.
11:10Charlito Dignos and Rocky Lynn.
11:12We're not those boxers.
11:15Okay, let's get down to training right now.
11:18Yes!
11:18That's what I'm talking about.
11:20Takamura, you stay behind.
11:21I need to talk to you for a little while about that match.
11:24All right.
11:25Shinoda, you take along and watch after the boys for me.
11:28Right, sir.
11:29The bears are out now, so be careful, fellas.
11:31Bears?
11:32Now that you mention it, I saw a sign.
11:34It's all right.
11:35We're three athletic guys.
11:36We can handle it, no sweat.
11:37If we run into one, we'll turn that sucker into a rug.
11:40Come on, let's go!
11:41Going down, we'll go slowly so you don't hurt your knees, but afterwards we'll dash up the hill.
12:02Yo!
12:02Yes, sir!
12:06Damn him, boy, by us like that.
12:08I'm not gonna let him get ahead of me.
12:10Hey, guys, watch it!
12:11Don't go overboard now!
12:12We've got energy to hurt!
12:21Well, you got some good stuff there.
12:24You're a champ, all right.
12:25Go ahead and brace yourself, because my punches will go right through this bag and turn your guts to baby food.
12:30Let's go ahead and leave it at that for the day.
12:32I need you to look after all the trainees and make sure they're okay, Nakoda.
12:36Come to think of it, those guys should have been back by now.
12:38They were putting down mountain running, but something tells me now they're a little run-down for put-downs.
12:47Going downhill kicks your ass!
12:49Let's skip the conversation!
12:51Even I'm having trouble breathing!
12:52At this angle, my weight's coming down so hard on my feet, it's hard to support myself.
13:03But this is perfect for tuning the most important element of the Dempsey roll, getting a good feel for shifting your weight.
13:09I can see what Mr. Shinoda means.
13:12Huh?
13:12Is he trying to blow by us again?
13:17Maka no Uchi, slow down!
13:18I told you to take it easy on the downhill!
13:21Behind you!
13:22Behind you!
13:23Huh?
13:23Well, you're lucky you ran into him on the way down.
13:39Bears are fast running uphill, but their front legs are short, so they're slow going down.
13:45Thank goodness.
13:46I think that shaved about ten years off my life.
13:48Man, I thought I was going to be bear chow.
13:51You guys are pathetic.
13:52You should have taken that bear out and gotten yourselves a reputation.
13:55No way!
13:56A real live bear is scary!
13:58But how are we going to be able to keep doing our road work?
14:01There's no need to worry.
14:02I have a method for keeping the bears away.
14:05That sounds great.
14:06I'll have everything ready tomorrow.
14:08Don't need no stinking contraptions.
14:10All I need is a crock pot.
14:12I'm going to catch that thing, so get ready to cook bear stew.
14:14I'm no wimp like those pussies.
14:16You sure sound confident.
14:18Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
14:40What are you doing up so late?
14:53Chief!
14:54Let me guess.
14:54You can't sleep because you're worried about the Dempsey roll.
14:57Yeah.
14:58As we know, it can be extremely powerful just as long as your opponent's backing off.
15:02But then it's a bad bet if he's driving forward.
15:05And then when you factor in the number of punches Sendoh throws and his overwhelming aggressiveness,
15:10there's no denying the trick will be rendered ineffective before it can even begin to work.
15:15In that case, what should I do?
15:18First, you need to understand that Dempsey roll is not effective all by itself.
15:22Huh?
15:23When the originator of the technique, Jack Dempsey, would repeat a special move,
15:28he would always manage to force back his opponent without fail.
15:31Really?
15:32Without fail?
15:32First, the hard work to force back your opponent.
15:36Then refining your technique.
15:37And finally, the finishing blow.
15:39Only when those components are in place,
15:41will you actually come close to completing the total effect of the Dempsey roll.
15:45Are you sure that's the only way?
15:47To completing the total effect?
15:48Yes.
15:49However,
15:50it'll be tremendously difficult to force a fighter like Sendoh to back off.
15:54You need a lower body that won't be stopped by his power punch.
15:57The strength to make the most hits even if he charges at you.
16:00And that's what you'll acquire at this training camp.
16:02Yes, sir.
16:04I get it.
16:05Total body strength.
16:07That's right.
16:09I need to do more than just cook up techniques.
16:12I need to start with the power.
16:13The power to out hit Sendoh so much that it forces him to back away.
16:17Take these with you today.
16:29Knock it off.
16:30You guys are making me look bad, so quit following me.
16:32Hey, come on, man.
16:34Don't go knocking the bells.
16:35At least the bears aren't running after us today.
16:38Hey, I'm going to sprint up ahead.
16:39It looks like the old geezer's dreaming up a new training menu.
16:42I want to see what he's up to.
16:43The only reason he could talk so big is because he's only seen bears on TV.
16:47Most suckers are gigantic.
16:49Epo was attacked by a bear.
16:56What?
16:57Epo was attacked by a bear?
16:58Are you serious?
16:59He's going to attack you right out of the blue.
17:01Poor Epo.
17:01He's done for.
17:02He's probably being got with a lie by the very second.
17:05Oh, shit.
17:06Where'd you see the bear?
17:10We've got to rescue Maku no Uchi.
17:12Well?
17:13Don't aim that gun at me, old geezer.
17:15Oh, what are we going to do?
17:18What's that?
17:19Something's coming.
17:20Thanks a lot, you guys.
17:22You just run off without warning and ditch me?
17:25I got lost on my way back.
17:27It's a dog.
17:28You little kids.
17:30Sorry about that.
17:32Fortunately, he showed me the way back.
17:34Oh, good.
17:35I see you met Hutchie, my dog.
17:36Hey, want you to watch where you're pointing that freaking thing?
17:40All right, man.
17:42I'm going to bring out all the training gear each one of you needs.
17:44You ready?
17:45Yeah.
17:47Chop 30 of these.
17:48Split them up into quarters.
17:50Awesome.
17:51Looks like good exercise.
17:53I'll get right on it.
17:56Let's see.
17:57I guess I should split them lengthwise.
17:59Heave.
18:00Ha!
18:01Ah, some squats in the river.
18:06That's right.
18:08Standing in heavy current forces them to keep their balance the whole time.
18:11It really gets the job done.
18:13That's a dandy idea.
18:14Ha!
18:15Ha!
18:15Ha!
18:16Ha!
18:16Ha!
18:16Ha!
18:17Ha!
18:17Ha!
18:17Ha!
18:18Ha!
18:18Ha!
18:18Ha!
18:19Ha!
18:19Ha!
18:19Ha!
18:20Ha!
18:20Ha!
18:20Ha!
18:21Ha!
18:21Ha!
18:22Ha!
18:22Ha!
18:23Ha!
18:23Ha!
18:24Ha!
18:24You don't...
18:26You don't...
18:27Squats aren't effective unless you go all the way down.
18:28Ha!
18:29You don't...
18:30Squats and learn.
18:32You do this!
18:34Push!
18:34Push!
18:35Push!
18:35Ah!
18:36Ha!
18:37Ha!
18:38Ha!
18:38He's been swept away!
18:42You could have drowned if Hachi hadn't jumped in after you.
18:45Mr. Nakoda, please.
18:45It's too dangerous.
18:47I'm very sorry.
18:48Ha!
18:49Ha!
18:49Ha!
18:50Ha!
18:50Ha!
18:51Ha!
18:51Ha!
18:52Ha!
18:52Ha!
18:53Ha!
18:54Okay, big guy. Five more reps and we're done for the day. Let's do it.
18:57All right.
19:03Hey, we're trying to train here. Do you mind?
19:09This is harder than it looks.
19:13Huh? Hachi?
19:16Ah, rats. He spotted us.
19:18Mr. Nakoda?
19:19I didn't want to bother you.
19:22Is something the matter, sir?
19:23You don't exactly look happy.
19:24I'm afraid I got in everyone's way.
19:27All I wanted to do was help out.
19:29Well, you're not in my way.
19:31I bet he sees so few people up here that he just wants to be part of the fun.
19:35Uh, um, if it's okay, would you please teach me how to chop wood?
19:40I can't seem to split these right.
19:42What's that?
19:43If you wouldn't mind.
19:46Okay, just watch this.
19:48For starters, you need to stabilize your lower body.
19:51Got it?
19:51Got it.
19:52And then, you hold your chest down like this, and bring it down like so.
19:58Oh, it's amazing.
20:00It's cut absolutely straight.
20:01Back when I was boxing, I did it every day instead of training.
20:06Thanks to that, this is what I got.
20:08They say the back muscles are the source of power.
20:12I can't believe he's got this much muscle and he's over 70.
20:16You might think this exercise is primitive, but the effects are huge.
20:20I see.
20:20That's why the chief told me to do this.
20:23You're going to need a lot of power to force back a fighter like Sinto.
20:26But even if you do that, you'd only break even if you won.
20:30Are you talking about the punch drunk syndrome?
20:32Hmm.
20:33In the old days, there was a boxer who wouldn't back off no matter what.
20:37And no matter how many times he was knocked on his keister, he'd keep getting up.
20:41But he eventually had to retire because of all the brain damage he suffered.
20:46It took him five years to learn how to function normally again.
20:50Really?
20:50Actually, he never did fully recover.
20:55It was you?
20:59You always have to pay the price for those big knock-down, drag-out power-punching battles.
21:06Especially guys like you.
21:09But still, I can't just abandon my fighting style because of that.
21:13It's no good unless I exchange punches head-on.
21:16Even if I do it only against Sendo.
21:18Ah, well.
21:20You're definitely one of Gen's students.
21:22So I guess you're telling me you'll resign to the worst.
21:26If that's the case, remember this.
21:28There's more to a head-to-head exchange of punches than using one's fist.
21:33Huh?
21:33There are other ways you can punch than by simply punching.
21:37What?
21:38If you keep that basic principle in mind, you can actually double your punches.
21:44But is that really possible?
21:45That little trick of yours gave me countless years of grief.
21:49Chief.
21:50This bastard forced me to ringside so many times because of that.
21:53And I can do it again to you right now.
21:55Really?
21:56Kid, call the gang together when you're done.
21:59This is a rare teaching opportunity.
22:00Let's share it with everyone.
22:02A way to punch without punching?
22:04A way to double the number of punches?
22:06Sounds impossible.
22:09What could it be?
22:10I get lucky with my own body.
22:30Tomorrow's the only way to be on.
22:42In that way I could melt me high with you.
22:48Tomorrow's the only way to be on.
22:54I can't act to be ill.
22:58If I know that I don't want to be safe.
23:06Take place to live.
23:09With a place to live.
23:14I can't help myself in the same way.
23:23The faint.
23:25A movement you make to throw an opponent off guard.
23:28You do things like step in.
23:30Leading with your shoulder just to create confusion.
23:33The only way for me to fight an opponent who's skilled at fainting.
23:35Is to adjust my mental attitude to match his.
23:39I need to train more.
23:41The camp has proven to be very tough.
23:43But I have to admit I'm learning a lot.
23:45So I've got to see it through to the end.
23:48Next round.
23:49Mr. Takamura's tears.
