The two fighters face off on a deserted battlefield, the sun setting behind them casting an orange and red hue across the sky. Mark Philips takes a step forward with his jumping fighting stance as Ippo Makunouchi takes a fighting stance of his own. Mark Philips: "So you're the famous Ippo Makunouchi, huh? I've been looking forward to fighting you." Ippo Makunouchi: "The pleasure is all mine. Let's have a good fight." They both charge at each other at full speed. Philips throws a few punches quickly which are dodged by Ippo with ease. Ippo quickly counters with a left and a right to the face which lands on Philips. Ippo Makunouchi: "You're not too shabby. But you won't get to use your allies in this fight." Mark Philips: "Oh, Ippo. You really think that your strength and speed can match my ability to jump and strategize." Ippo quickly shifts his body to the side and throws a tornado jolt at Mark Phillips, but he jumps over it with ease. Mark Philips: "Your moves are slow and predictable. If you want to win against me, you'll have to do better, Ippo." Ippo Makunouchi: "Then let's see what you can do when I turn up the heat." Ippo Makunouchi shifts into his God of Wind mode, and in an instant, he weaves a series of punches that knock Mark Philips back. Mark Philips: "Okay, I will admit that was impressive. But, time to bring out the big guns." Philips' allies Dylan, Desmond, Leland, and Ben jump onto the battlefield to help him out. Ippo Makunouchi: "I thought we agreed on no allies." Mark Philips: "I don't recall such an agreement." Desmond uses his shadow magic to disrupt Ippo's Dempsey Roll, but Ippo dodges and throws a Gazelle Punch at Dylan, knocking him back. Leland uses his water body to protect Philips but Ippo breaks through with a powerful left hook followed by a right uppercut to the liver. Mark Philips: "Haha, bloody hell that was one impressive fight. You've got some serious talent, Ippo. I can't wait to see how you'll do against others." Ippo Makunouchi: "Thanks for the compliment. Hopefully, we'll meet again under more favorable circumstances." Winner: Ippo Makunouchi Ippo Makunouchi was able to dodge and counter each of Mark Philips' attacks, even with the use of his allies. Although Philips was able to land a few hits on him, Ippo's ability to turn up the heat with his God of Wind mode was too much for Philips to handle. In the end, Ippo showcased his immense strength and fighting skills, which granted him the victory.
