Getting up super quickly from a knockdown and immediately getting downed again is the only concern, but being concerned with TBIs is frowned upon in this manga.

He's obviously going to lose, but it's not like we've seen him take any major injuries throughout the fight. Nothing like Sendo with busted ribs or Date with a shattered jaw. No reason to believe his life is in danger.

the fight choreography has really jumped up a level once mori stopped with the monkeygod stuff. the artwork has been sublime too. its so cool how ricardo's strategy is so simple, yet effective, every time he clutches his fist woli throws himself off balance prematurely dodging. the miguel/woli relationship is heartwarming as hell too. if anyone's going to die in this manga i really think this might be it..

The panel with Ricardo standing strong tall and completely unfased before a downed Wally is terrifying.

I agree that Wally probably doesn't die here. But I did notice something in this chapter. Speculation: Wally's corner talked about a plan to target the eyes for cuts. We see here that one of Wally's eyes is bloodied and Ricardo throws a punch that Wally doesn't react to at all. I think he might have a career ending detached retina. This would also tie into the heavily hinted eye damage that Takmaura has suffered. ccubed fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Jan 19, 2023 |

I've not seen a chapter of anything with so many death-flags in quite some time. I think I'd probably feel pretty bad if Morikawa killed Woli off. I just don't want ever have to endure him fighting ever again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdUy70dh8LY This is the only track I will accept for the animated version of this fight. I imagine the end is just Wally getting KO-ed so hard they show us his grave in the future an instant before they show him hitting the mat in the present, all while the world's finest and most abrupt piano slapstick cheers him down. Ricardo just putting an end to silliness. A supreme boxing Oscar the Grouch.

https://twitter.com/WANPOWANWAN/status/1618781922435690496 Seems like Morikawa wants to end Ippo soon while he's still able and has planned the ending out. Also some stuff in the rest of the thread about feeling as if he's not a proper mangaka until he's completed a series. Rubellavator fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Jan 27, 2023 |

The ippo miyata thing started way early on during the good old days of ippo but it never made any sense to me. Hope George doesnt feel the need to follow through with it.

Agreed, They should never cross paths in the ring, or if they do its the final chapter and we never see the outcome. At this point it's better that they be distant rivals who never actually bump up against each other.

I just don't think their rivalry was ever any good and their ending up in different weight classes being framed as a tragedy just never made sense to me. Both of them have so much else going on.

When was the last time Miyata even had a fight? He had a page against some randy like ... 300 chapters ago? But as far as actual fights go, how far back are we talking? Edit: Jesus Christ, his last proper fight ended in Chapter 846. Almost 15 years ago. Nilbop fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jan 27, 2023 |

Yeah I had imagined up some sort of time jump where the two go to throw punches (happily) and it just ends on that That'd be cool imo  Also maybe if he finishes they can finally fuckin animate some more of it

I don't care about the outcome of this fight but rather how the boxing world will be rocked by the scandalous news that a crooked Mexican ref disallowed flying turnbuckle haymakers. This used to be a good sport. I swear.. Lamebot fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Jan 28, 2023 |

I'm not sure how he can end it quickly, outside of a rushed epilogue chapter. There are still way too many loose threads, the biggest being whether Ippo actually returns to the ring or not. Maybe we'll get Wally loses, Sendo dies in the ring (or is injured so severely that he can't return), then a time skip of Ippo's return, where he is already at the point where he can challenge the champion?

takamura's storyline is difficult to reconcile with ippo's in terms of "where" it feels it is. he's canonically got "half" of his major goal left to go, but we obviously can't do another 1k chapters. even if mori speeds it up, there's still so much he's built up to that it'll take genuinely hundreds

It would be pretty easy to time skip from Ippo resolving to return / maybe a fun tune up fight then time skip to Takamura’s 6th fight and Ippos title challenge final arc. Max trolling would be for post time skip Ippo to have like 2 kids.

The only way that I can see to end it without a hamfisted time skip, and a thematically appropriate one given Makunoichi's own journey, is to have Takamura lose. Ippo loses, suffers brain damage and retires, Takamura loses and dies, Kamogawa dies of grief and shame seeing his dreams take the lives of those dearest to him. fin.

Ergo the manga is half over at most Ah, but Takamura explicitly was supposed to take it slow in the lower weight classes because it was further from his actual weight class. So he'll speed up, which means the manga is, like, *uses rng* 3/4 over.
