I mean, it's not that dumb. Ippo is saying that he got too focused on getting in with slips and setting up his Special Moves and he forgot that sometimes you gotta jab so you keep control.

if only he had an outside perspective that could analyze his style and point out this particular weakness.... maybe they could have coached him on how to be a better fighter! but alas, Ippo didn't know anyone who could have done that

Centzon Totochtin posted:I feel like it's especially stupid because ippo watched boxing videos of his opponents' fights all the time when he was still active and they also used the mythical left arm When watching videos he could have been focusing on other things like "I could take that hit and then immediately counter it with a Dempsy Roll" and slowly put focusing on being a good boxer in the background until it disappeared altogether.

It's not a bad flaw but any coach would have seen that. For Fresh Japanese champion Ippo that would've been good but he is like a half decade into his career and has brain damage now

Kamogawa being a poo poo coach is unexcusable, but it's a decent boxing flaw for Ippo to overcome and one that makes sense for a power puncher inside fighter that has a lot of respect for a big counter-puncher. Kamogawa's schtick is obnoxious as gently caress, a lot of "he's gotta figure it out himself" when he actually doesn't, that's what a coach is there for, to tell him what he's gotta work on!

Kamogawa at least realized that he utterly failed Ippo which is part of the reason he is not going to train another fighter.

Fabricated posted:Now we just need Takamura to finally lose a match and he can finally die in disgrace Kamogawa dies, ala Mick in Rocky III. Ippo is mourning his grave. Rest of the crew are standing around asking if he’s really dead. Ippo says, yes, a doctor and the mortician all confirmed it. They ask, but did he really cross the line into being dead, dead? Ippo shows them the death certificate. They don’t think that’s really crossing the line. Maybe coach should get a second opinion? Ippo reminds them coach’s body has been cremated. That they’ve all literally been given urns with Coach’s ashes in them. Everyone agrees that Coach should give boxing another chance. <insert big hog joke and exasperated Kumi leaving the cemetery in frustration.>

MonsterEnvy posted:He beat Bison and got another title. Another title in the same weight class is hardly an advancement to his arc. Kamogawa has even said that Takamura is a natural heavyweight, and the junior middleweight title got thrown away after one title defence so I don't understand why Takamura's quest to conquer six weight classes is being filled arc'd this much.

Ippo Chapter 1264 Kamogawa: Please don't die in the ring Ippo. Also we meet Takamura's next opponent, Michael Goat. I see great things for that man.

Goat is a good opponent. Reminds me of a quicker David Eagle, very orthodox but does the basics super well.

I found it. The world's greatest HnI fan. He's been reading the weeklys since the 80s and knows all the moves. Unfortunately the move he tries here is Aoki's Look AwayTM https://i.imgur.com/d4z9jGe.gifv e: Wow, I was automatically reading Goat as 'greatest of all time' but just now realized they were still just leaning in to the animal names thing with Takamura

Chapter 1267 I don't think Goat has much more in his tank so I'm expecting this fight to end soon. Still a bit surprised at how jealous Takamura is.

Hypocrisy posted:Chapter 1267 They've been drilling it into the audience for a while now that Takamura seems desperate to keep the coach's attention instead of Ippo. At least ever since he drew that line in the dirt. It's getting kind of weird, but I also don't really see how they're going to use it narratively unless the somehow take Takamura out while Ippo returns to the ring. Maybe that detached retina plotline that never went anywhere was a decades long con and as soon as he goes up another weight class he'll get creamed and Ippo will have to train him back to health

i think the idea is that takamura has lost hope in ippo to do anything cool and doesn't want the coach to stress out over him because then he'll die sooner

Remember that, for all of Coach Kamogawa's faults (and they are many), old man gave our boy Takamura his sense of purpose. Dude's always gonna be biased because of that.

Kamogawa actually stated that Takamura was always going to be a Champion. It would not have mattered who coached him.

To be fair even if his eyeball flies out at some point and he dies in the ring he'll have like 3-4 world champion belts to show for it.
