From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1. Ippo is picked on by three bullies after school. Katamura happens to jog by, and scares the bullies off. He takes Ippo to the gym, and tests out his punching strength, which is high. He then gives Ippo a VHS tape of amazing K.O.s.

2. Ippo is inspired by the tape to become a boxer. He seeks out Katamura and they make a deal, if Ippo can catch 10 leaves off a tree, Katamura will train him. Ippo practices day and night for a week and succeeds. They go to the gym and Ippo is tested by sparring with Miyata.

3. In the first round against Miyata, Ippo only defends, learning to keep his guard up while taking body blows. In the second, he starts using the jab he devoloped catching leaves. In the third, he learns to throw a combination left-right. Although Ippo never lands a blow, and is ultimately knocked out, his determination impresses the gym and he is allowed to join.

4. Ippo starts training at the gym. Oaki and Kimura try and take over, but Takamura is determined to be the teacher. In spite of this, Genji Kamogawa takes over. He teaches Ippo how to throw an uppercut, then leaves and tells him to shadow box. Ippo pretends his opponent is Miyata, and practices against a mental image of him.
