Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the first spar against Miyata, Ippo cleanly hits Miyata.

Answer: False

Overall Ippo throws seventy punches, but because of Miyata's outboxing skills Ippo nevers hits him.

2. In the first spar, how many ounces do Ippo's gloves weigh?

Answer: 12

Typically 12 ounce gloves are really light; because of Ippo's strong ounches he badly bruises Miyata's arms.

3. How many times is Ippo downed in the first spar?

Answer: 5

There were two reasons Ippo was downed five times in the fight. One was that Ippo just recently started boxing; another is that Miyata has been trained since he was little.

4. What is the strategy Takamura tells Ippo to use during the first spar?

Answer: Turtle

The strategy calls for Ippo to put his two arms together and hold them tightly against his body. This plan helps protect his face and body.

5. What is the name of the technique Miyata uses to KO Ippo in the first spar?

Answer: Counter

A counter is a type of punch that uses your opponent's momentum and power against him. Timing is crucial in counterpunching. Miyata easily hits Ippo with it and knocks Ippo unconcious. Smash and jolt are moves that will come later in the series and I made up the over jab.

6. In the second spar, who referees the fight?

Answer: Takamura

During the entire fight Takamura judges. Before the fight he tells Fujii that he's going to be a referee and Fujii asks who's fighting. When Takamura replies "Miyata and Ippo", Fujii thinks it's going to be a one sided match.

7. In the second spar, Ippo and Miyata are knocked down an equal amount of times.

Answer: True

They are both downed three times in this spar. Miyata downs Ippo twice using the counter and then the last time using a hit and run style. Ippo downs Miyata twice using combinations then once using the smash.

8. What textbook technique did Miyata use for the entire second round, during the second spar?

Answer: Clinch

Miyata lost much of his stamina in the first round so he gained his stamina back by clinching Ippo. A clinch is when a boxer grabs another and holds his body and arms so that he can't punch him. This is often used as a stalling tactic so a boxer can recover.

9. What is the final decision of the second fight?

Answer: Ippo by KO

Ippo wins by KO by using a smash. It hits a pinpoint spot on Miyata's chin which causes him to not be able to stand.

10. What move ends the second match?

Answer: Smash

Ippo hits a pinpoint spot on Miyata's chin with a smash, KOing Miyata. A smash is a type of punch that is between an uppercut and a straight. Many thanks to Dynamite Glove for their boxing information.
