Kamogawa was outside of the Kamogawa gym, panting from exhaustion after training Ippo and Takamura for a day long period. He collapsed on the floor against the door, and looked up at the sky.

while he heard hits land on the heavy bag, he remembered his own career as a boxer. He was very proud of his pupils, but there was never someone quite just as he was, which made him both sad, and proud because of how great he used to be.
