When the second round began, Ippo pressured Saeki into a corner again and began punching Saeki, who successfully dodged the punches. Ippo then saw a chance for a hit, however Saeki created extra space by leaning into the ropes, dodging the punch. When Saeki got out of the corner, Ippo began getting hit by Flicker Jabs at the corner. When Ippo ran out from the corner, he realised his right eye could not open up due to swelling from the Flicker Jabs. Saeki began using Ippo's swollen right eye to his advantage, going outside of Ippo's vision and hitting him with a right before the second round ends. In the corner, Kamogawa noticed Ippo could not see in his right eye and asked him what he wanted to accomplish during the match. Ippo answered that he wanted to show everyone who was worried about him that he was alright. Kamogawa then told Ippo to show them that he was alright with one hit. When round three began, Ippo attempted to get closer to Saeki to create a smaller blind spot, however Saeki opened the distance and got into Ippo's blind spot again, landing hits on Ippo's face multiple times. Saeki hit Ippo with a body blow, causing Ippo to begin to fall until Ippo remembered that Umezawa told him not to fall on the advertisement as it would be bad advertising for the Makunouchi Fishing Boat. Saeki continued hitting Ippo, who then fell forward, leaning on Saeki as the third round ended.
