“Knock Out” is about a shy high school student named Ippo, who is always bullied by mean boys.
Because boxing is one of the favorite sports in the country, GMA-7 brings back to TV the animated series that shows the life of boxers. Beginning December 5, “Knock Out” airs every morning, Mondays thru Saturdays.
“Knock Out” is about a shy high school student named Ippo, who is always bullied by mean boys. One day, he almost gets badly injured when the bullies beat him up until a professional boxer called Takamura saves him from them.
When Ippo gains consciousness, he finds himself in the boxing gym where Takamura trains. The latter then encourages him to express his anger toward his offenders by punching a sandbag. To the surprise of those who witnessed his punch, Ippo has a great potential to be a professional boxer.
From that point on, Ippo’s life begins to change; he is no longer the timid teenager who gets beaten up. He works hard to learn the sport, not to take vengeance on the boys who are bad to him, but to show that he can succeed with sheer determination and persistence.
As the story depicts how Ippo learns about discipline, friendship and self-confidence, it also informs viewers of various terms and techniques related to the famous sport.
Join Ippo as he trains to be a world-class boxer! “Knock Out” airs on weekday mornings after
