[65] Ippo was born with fists that have stopping power due to them being big, hard, flat, and with a lot of surface area. Aoki and Kimura compared Ippo's fist to that of a brick or hollow block, and with his strong lower body and short height described by Fujii, he was capable of barraging hard, compact, and fast punches. [66] It was noted that Ippo's usage of jabs can be compared to a straight due to his power. Even before joining the Kamogawa gym, Ippo showed extraordinary muscular strength and punching power when he punched the sandbag for the first time, to the astonishment of everyone at the gym. Instead of settling with his already exceptional strength in order to focus on other aspects of his boxing, Ippo has doubled down on his punching power during all of his career by constantly working on methods to enhance it even further, including weight training, log hitting and wood cutting. During his second retirement, his strength grew greater through the use of body weights. [67][68] Takamura confident about Ippo's unique ability: "The devastation of one hit". Ippo's punching power has at various occasions proven to be great enough to break bones, embed the mark of his fists on his opponent's bodies, entirely lift them off the mat, cause them to bleed and take considerable damage from hits on their guard, and even send them flying from centre ring to the ropes or the corner with a single punch. [69][70][71][72][73] His strength has also enabled him to knock out opponents from up to 4 weight classes higher in spars and an opponent from two weight classes higher in an official bout, doing the latter with a single strike. [74][75] Speed Although severely lacking in terms of footwork, Ippo's
dash speed is one of his most proven and trustworthy weapons,
used to close the distance on bigger opponents and force an in-fight. Since it comprises a key aspect of Ippo's boxing, the sharpness and speed of his dash is constantly being refined, with it receiving a significant
improvement since Ippo began to use ankle weights on a daily basis.
