Man, Ippo looked like a midget on the early chapters, the artstyle has come a long way.

This is just taking too long, I mean, I know it's how usually a fight goes in Ippo, but the ammount of punishment Myata took is just astounding.

Well he was also like 15 or 16

So? It's just a very early state of the author's drawing, it just goes to shows how he evolved, it's no wonder the anime didn't kept this early look for Ippo.

I just wish this series picked up the pace, I'm kinda of tired of the same ol' routine.

I think the panel at the bottom really sums up Ippo's state of affairs for me right now

What Ippo needs is to start solving it's plot and get to the final arcs, honestly we're at the stage where every boxer-of-the-week is quickly forgotten. At the very least have a timeskip to the end of this fight and never speak of it again.

I'm surprised Ippo hasn't succumbed to brain damage yet, took Rocky 5 movies but Ippo has gotten way more beatings, or maybe he already has....

Sure but Rocky never used Simpson's patented "just keep takin it" technique until fighting Mr. T; unlike Ippo.

Can everyone at least say about this fight that they'll be very satisfied and entertained when Woli finally takes a massive punch that knocks him the gently caress down and wipes the smug look off his face?

Mogli will loose because of a rare heart condition and so his coach will have to throw the towel, but Ippo knows he didn't actually won this fight. So he will train harder so he can face Mogli when he gets better

I swear, Ippo will never pound that smuggy face bloody; instead both become BFFs and their friendship will further push ippo's resolve blah blah yadda yadda.
when the fucker finally gets beaten to a pulp it will be in order to stage the next boring gimmicky fighter

that's his style, that bizzare muscle anatomy and let's not forget that meaty-muscly-chin thing it has going on; it's muscle porn, especially if you read Baki

how the heck is Ippo even about the underdog anymore? he's the country champion, it's like Takamura now being the world champion, he's way past underdog

Amazing twist! Ippo will now never be able to fight again, heck he might not even be able to move again.
