[/tps_title]
The story of Ippo is the story, funnily enough of many a great boxing legend. Being victim of bullying for pretty much most of his life, and it took on person to step in in his defence. And luckily for Makunouchi Ippo, that guy was Takamura Mamoru, a boxer. And after being assaulted by bullies, recovering in Mamoru’s gym, he was facinated by the milieu.
The idea of training and becoming stronger however came a little later, it was a forced encounter to punch his first punching bag that awakened the passion to take on the sport of boxing. And from it was strength to strength, with even doubt rising from Mamoru himslef, Ippo ultimately rose to the challenge however impossible and begun taking on the world of elite boxing by storm and fists.
