After the worst fight of Hajime no Ippo in the movie 'Champion Road' here comes the best fight in the whole series in terms of emotions, there are others that have better boxing quality, but this one is pure gold for all that is at stake for both of them. Also the training, before the fight, their stories, all is awesome. Ippo almost doesn't appear in this movie and he is not missed, Kimura is a great character, and even if Ippo is a better boxer his fights begin to be too similar, and his personality doesn't help to be interested in his shameful love storywith Kumi.
