#HajimenoIppo ch1040: of course it's a set up! #manga 

It's a very simple, simple plan. It's almost insulting towards Ippo
really. Alfredo is making Ippo focus on his outstanding left,
expecting that Ippo won't expect the cocked and ready right to come in
and finish him off completely. Miyata sees it, Coach Kamogawa can
feel it. The important part is Ippo's awareness of it. He needs to
show that he is above being an instinctual fighter, and that he can
read an obvious game plan. He's now fighting at the highest of
levels. There's no way this fight is going to stay this simple and
calm.
