Summary[]
Yanaoka tells Sendō to be quiet since Hoshi passed out. He informs Sendō that he knew that Ricardo was going to fight Wally instead of him since before Hoshi's match, believing that it is to let his right fist heal before they fight. Sendō gets angry and noisy, waking Hoshi up and having him come out. Sendō leaves with Hoshi to another room to talk to him. Later, in Indonesia, Miguel finds Wally and tells him that they are going to go to their final stop as they set sail. At the Kamogawa gym, the gym members talk about the news of Ricardo fighting Wally instead of Sendō. Itagaki mentions how Ippo believes that Ricardo chose Wally because he and Sendō are like a wild animal, so he can create an anti-Sendō strategy. They think that Sendō can also see how Ricardo can go up against another wild animal, making the postponement a good thing. Ippo notices how they are talking like Ricardo will defeat Wally, but wonders if the match will really go that way. Later, Miguel and Wally arrive to the Marvelous Gym in New York City, New York, United States of America. There, they meet up with Dankichi and the IBF junior lightweight world champion Volg.
