Why did ippo shave his own head this time? I mean he probably could've got there sooner if he had just shaved kimura's head. He didnt just buzz it either, he got it clean and put some shine on it.

I'd actually be really surprised if Ippo doesn't return to boxing.

Wait, when did he kiss Kumi?

Ahh I can't wait for the fight

I'm more worried about Takamura exploding. It's also funny to see Ippo finally reflect on how he reacts to seeing Miyata.

Will this be it? Will Takamura finally lose a fight? Seems kinda unfair to just have one of your characters ominously say "I GOT A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS"

time to bring back that theory that takamura is blind in one of his eyes or something

The luck thing will definitely come into play, we've just got a hint of it with him being saved by the bell (even though that happens in every fight)

I'm glad Ippo is having a moment here. Now if he could just do a little introspection

I really wanted to see Sendo fight Martinez. And I'm ready for Ippo to make a comeback as smart boxing man.

I can't believe no one else was able to capitalize on Wally's major weakness, being tapped in the same spot repeatedly.

Karasawa, but that was also the opponent who decided he'd train his abs to endure Ippo's body blows.

I don't think Woli has a whole lot in common with Carlos, if that's the third you're mentioning.

I think he's talking about Harimau. I've not actually watched AnJ, but I've seen the comparisons.

Was Blanka in street fighter based on Harimau too? Raised in the jungle, does that flipping thing at opponents, generally fughts like an animsl

this guy seems to think so.

This kinda piqued my interest so I was gonna go read the Harimau fight, and while googling around trying to find what chapter he first appeared in I came across the wiki page that lists his height at 5'4/163cm and his reach at 83"/215cm like what the gently caress

I would legitimately kneel in reverence if he never had Ippo get into the ring, Sendo won the world title with Ippo as his second, and the retirement is utterly genuine.

So Woli is a good boy who doesn't understand the risks of boxing and is being exploited by his trainer.

Rubellavator
Aug 16, 2007

Woli winning would be an amazing turn. It would feel really wrong and then like 300 chapters later we'd be talking about how good of a decision it was.

So Woli has thrown about 100 punches. He could just do nothing for the rest of the fight and he could win on scorecards alone.


Please have Ricardo so lost in thought that he does absolutely nothing.

I'm not sure you understand how scoring in boxing works
