New chapter I have to grudgingly admit this is a good fight.

I'm rooting for Wally, now that he's been forced to fight without jumping on ropes.

I love that each time one of Miguel's boxers starts getting the poo poo kicked out of them he immediately opines about how the opponent is the absolute peak of the ideal ultimate boxer.

Speaking of Good Things about this fight, I love the first two pages here of first Woli doing a barrage of quick wide hooks, followed instantly by Ricardo calmly staring right through them and launching a razor sharp super compact jab right through the middle of them.

Ricardo really has the manga protagonist thing of being A Genius at Working Hard on Fundamentals so I'm not sure how an actual manga protagonist is supposed to beat him!

Miguel's secret corner plan to Wally was going to be "don't get your ribs broken" but now that's out the window

For some reason I feel like Ricardo is gonna pull out Date's corkscrew punch to make Woli's stay still for a second. This fight is ending up really good, but the super short chapters+ constant breaks don't help with the reading experience.

Like everybody going "Oh this is a good fight now" will instantly be losing their minds the second Wally is back on offense. The dude is an anime trope, not a boxer. Understand that what you like seeing is the monkey king trope getting the poo poo kicked out of it, not that Wally is suddenly "an actual boxer."

Nah it'll still be good if Wally gets back to the corner and Miguel is like "alright, I thought he might start picking you apart with jabs and here's what we're going to do..." and Wally executes that strategy and gets back on top for a while. It'll be bad if he gets back into the corner and Miguel feeds him a banana and it's like Popeye eating spinach.

Nilbop posted:He's not doing actual boxing, he's getting the poo poo kicked out of him. No? He’s not bouncing off ropes, he’s doing sharp hits aimed at the eyes that aren’t reaching ( but that look like good attempts rather than just a wild flailing of his arms) and the counter attack he’s been able to throw actually feel like it’s a result of having excellent reflexes, rather than monkey man bullshit. If the whole fight had been him doing this to get dominance and then Ricardo slowly working through it and not him doing stupid and illegal bullshit while getting away with it, the fight would’ve been really good. It’s too bad it’s only coming now but if this keeps up the fight can be salvaged a bit . I’m fully prepping for more stupid stuff to happen though

Is that a manga protagonist thing? Usually they're more for being highly specialised in a specific way. Such as Ippo with the Dempsey E:And being ok with getting hit in the face

tunnel vision on the dempsey roll became a problem later sure, but it's not like he used it all the time, and besides he was like a dozen pro fights in before he discovered it anyway

Big LOL at Woli's biggest lesson from ippo is "duh, just take a hit sometimes" and his coach's super secret strategy being "yeah just do whatever"

Wally is going to get his head punched cleanly off his shoulders and land in Ippo’s arms where he’ll say “Boxing is really fun isn’t it”

In the first panel with him stomping, I thought Wally was going to use the trump card of using kicks in his boxing. The most generous interpretation of this I can come up with is taking advantage of the audience and Ricardo's own mindset to force a direct confrontation, since Ricardo would just inevitably disassemble the now-wounded Wally otherwise. Wally's gonna get owned and possibly even killed, but Morikawa might let him get in a single clean punch. Edit: Ricardo decapitated Wally, but through sheer boxing spirit Wally's headless body continues to box with Ricardo. He loved boxing that much.... Edit2: Ippo, who caught Wally's head, holds it up so Wally can watch himself boxing. His head smiles in its last moments. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Dec 27, 2022 |

If Wally dies, he will finally have made it fun to watch his boxing, so I can't fault the logic there.
