Ippo must possess new abilities and resistance like his fellow boxers, like resistance to pressure points and intimidation/social influence:
1. Ippo's willpower can resist pinpoint blows, like Being struck to the chin by Miyata, Solar Plexus blow during the fight against Hammer Nao, and even overcome Sanada's blows and unconsciously get up.
Analytical prediction when he noticed Keith Dragon's a southpaw during mahjong at Chapter 1327 and 1333, as well fighting Karasawa, a high level outboxer as Ippo can manipulate him into the corner

- Instinctive Action is seen during his fight with Volg, Eiji Date, and Kanzuki Sanada matches, where he fights unconscious, the same way as Kimura and Sendo,This is the most famous instance of Ippo fighting while truly unconsciousVs. Alexander Volg Zangief (Class A Tournament Finals): episode 48
The Moment: During the first round, Volg catches Ippo with a relentless barrage of punches, eventually landing a series of heavy blows that knock Ippo out while he is still on his feet.
The Action: While unconscious, Ippo's body reacts instinctively. He manages to stop Volg’s right straight with his own right hand and begins throwing a combination of punches back at Volg's guard.
Recovery: Volg is forced to back away to the middle of the ring. It is only then that Ippo "wakes up" and realizes the round is ending. Volg notes that Ippo’s advance was so relentless it was impossible to find a rhythm, it was also noted Ippo managed to absorb the damage due to his legs acting like springs - Ippo vs. Eiji Date (First Match)
In their JBC Featherweight Title match (Season 1, Episode 57), Ippo faces the veteran champion in his first career loss.
Fighting on Instinct: Late in the match, after taking massive damage from Date’s "Heart Break Shot" and technical outboxing, Ippo is described as being "unconscious on his feet". Despite having no conscious strategy, his body continues to move forward and engage in a brutal slugfest.
Date’s Reaction: Eiji Date is visibly disturbed by Ippo’s refusal to stay down, noting that Ippo is effectively a "corpse" moving on pure fighting spirit. This relentless pressure nearly causes Date to lose his composure as he is forced into a high-risk trade with a puncher.
Outcome: The match only ends when Coach Kamogawa throws in the towel to protect Ippo’s life, as Ippo likely would have continued until he physically collapsed. - Instinctive Action and Resistance to Pressure Points Hajime No Ippo: Champion Road: https://ippo.fandom.com/wiki/First_Step_Arc
