What does the symbol resembling a stylized "P" in each of Hajime no Ippo's matches mean? Is it a Japanese symbol for cheering maybe?

The symbol that looks like "P" is actually "ア", a katakana for letter "A".
According to Jisho, "Aaa" could mean:
Aah!; Ooh!; Oh No!; Oh Boy!; expression of despair, resignation, boredom, disgust, etc.
though it could also mean yelling, shouting, cheering (depending on the situation).

1I suspect in these cases they would best be translated as "Woah!" – Brent P. Newhall Sep 07 '18 at 16:01
