After Kamogawa helped Ippo train with a sandbag, he realised the right body blows he threw hurt him through the sandbag. He talked with Ippo about his body blows, which Ippo had already planned to use in his strategy against the out-boxer Saeki, surprising Kamogawa, who then decided to let him enter the Class A Tournament. After getting advice from Kimura that an out-boxer's worst opponent is someone that is faster than them, Ippo decided to be faster than Saeki, starting by finding his own rhythm. A week before the first round of the Class A Tournament, Ippo attempted to use out-boxing in a spar against Yamada, but realised that he could not throw punches while doing footwork. He then came up with a plan after talking with Yamada. Later, Ippo and Umezawa went to the hospital where Hiroko was being released at. There, Ippo received new boxing trunks that his mother sewed and boxing shoes that Umezawa bought. That night, Umezawa noticed Ippo poking holes in his new shoes, which Ippo told him that it was to reduce traction, and that he would definitely win his next match. On the day of the first round of the Class A Tournament, Ippo bumped into Saeki in the weigh-in. Saeki commented on Ippo's fists and then told Ippo to come at him with everything he has. At the waiting room, Umezawa visited a nervous Ippo, wanting to take a picture of him for his mother.
