Ippo has always been mentally weak. As seen in Ippo x Sendo II, he got afraid, but clearly he can beat Sendo as seen in the first round knocking him out with a dempsy roll, but he lets that psychological mind games in boxing and taunting get to him, which why he grew as a boxer physically, but not mentally that's why Kamogawa in the past chapters said all these years of training was worth nothing, so he needs more training.
