[Ippo did something unexpected. Instead of trying to dodge or block, he actually pushed his face directly into Ryu's glove; the hit shook him, but it definitely blunted the force of his shot and kept his friend's hand rooted in place as he cranked back and blasted off another harsh shot towards Ryu's right temple. He wasn't going to get anywhere if he wasn't willing to go 100 percent with his actions; he didn't know if he could win, but he was going to go down trying.]
