Would love for the finale to be Itagaki vs Ippo. It would be Ippo's first title defense as World champion, after beating Martinez.

What's up with the foreshadowing done earlier with throwing a punch in a uncomfortable stance and the training done with uppercuts? It looks like Miyata will win with just his usual cross counter punch.

He should be the 10th seed. If I remember correctly, whomever wins the fight between the East and West rookie kings will get the 10th seed in their weight division. That's what Ippo got after he defeated Sendo. Ippo then got 5th I think after he defeated Date's protege who was the 5th seed at the time. He eventually got 1st seed after winning the Class A tournament which is what Itakagi is about to do.

Itakagi has to go up against the 3 speed fighters that Ippo has already beaten: Saeki - 3rd seed, Karasawa - 5th seed, & Fukui - 7th seed.

No. It's when you punch yourself the same time as your opponent is punching you. Duh!!!

At least he's cutting to the case with respect to getting this fight started. I was expecting a lot more chapters before the match actually occurred.

Hmm...Isn't Itakagi's fight before Ippo's?
