Isn't Ippo supposed to be taking out all these OPBF fighters, basically brute forcing his way to Miyata's throne? It's pretty obvious that despite what has happened he'll be fighting Miyata again, but I don't think it'll be on the world stage, I reckon it'll be the OPBF title match.

Is Itagaki 1st seed in the featherweights?

Oh god you're right. I really hope they just gloss over those fights. I need another cocky newcomer fag going after Ippo and getting utterly destroyed by the Liver Blow.

That may be so, but think about how bad Miyata was wailing on him at the start, and that he should have won like 2 rounds ago. Randy boy shouldn't be fighting this good.

Although this was a pretty kickass chapter, i'm looking to the next one, specifically to see the damage to Randy Boy's jaw. Considering he was hit with a full on jolt counter corkscrew red lightning ultrasonic super punch, I wouldn't be suprised if Randy Boy retires forcibly after this fight. The irony is something I'd kinda expect.

Latest chapter just came out. http://www.onemanga.com/Hajime_no_Ippo/

Pretty good chapter for an aftermath I suppose. I was right atleast about Randy Boy getting massively hosed up after that punch. Although the whole "eternal chasing of Miyata" is loving bullshit. Noone wants that, everyone wants them to fight. I can't see the manga ending any other way.

Where does it say that? Seriously, link us. Because i'm drat sure its just been alluded, not actually confirmed. The common consensus is that he should go up one, but he stays in featherweight because of Ippo.

Yeeeah. As much as I like Miyata's character i'm pretty sure that punching someone in the body so hard their ribs shatter should result in this http://www.onemanga.com/Hajime_no_Ippo/413/08/

The only way this last Miyata fight would've been cool is he had lost, and that would've only set up Ippo to loving obliterate Randy.

The best thing that happened in the last year of this manga was Ippo getting super pissed after Randy beat down Itagaki and the manager guy had a go at Miyata.


Which turned out to be the biggest cock tease ever :(

So basically, after Ippo saying that he's glad he doesn't wanna fight Itagaki, this new fighter is also a genius and has insane foot and hand speed. WHAT A COINCIDENCE

I pray to like, a 1000 Jesus' that after all this bullshit about how fast this dick is, Ippo utterly ruins his poo poo like the Karasawa fight. We need another fight that shows how Ippo is a world class fighter now. Not another "no it is I who is standing behind YOU!" fight.

See, these latest fights have been bothering me. I love how Ippo has reached the stage where only one of his punches will completely gently caress the other guy up, but then the opponent has to rely on gimmicks so he doesn't get raped. And I don't really like that. I miss the Sendou fights, where both fighters were kicking the poo poo out of each other, not dodge dodge dodge HIT oh he's down.

Holy poo poo this chapter got my hopes up then dashed them soundly :( When Ippo starting moving in his "signature" way I was hoping for the rebirth of some ridiculous ultra Dempsey Roll (That we only caught a glimpse at back at the Scratch J fight). While he's got him to the corner we know this is where Woli is gonna pull some bullshit, it's what he did to Vorg.

We weren't surprised, just...disappointed. I'm hoping for something to set this fight above all others. Which means I don't want to see the fight drag down to the level where Ippo is an inch from death and manages to grasp the gimmick in the last second to take the KO.

I don't think so. In RL boxing if your gloves are that low then you don't have your guard up, which is something you'd get punished for regardless.

Definitely hoping for some more Ippo-Kamogawa parallels. If Kamogawa was in a different era and didn't break his fists, I'm curious of how far he would've gone :ohdear:

Considering he had a punch that could shatter a mans ribs he would have killed his way to the top.

It's a dempsey roll that can't be predicted. If you do a right hook then the next punch is a left one. But if it can be either a left or an upper, counter users won't know what the gently caress.

Think about the power progressions in this manga though. How on earth is Miyata supposed to SURVIVE a move like that, let alone stand up to it.

How about a dempsey roll that users Downers (the opposite of uppercuts DUH). Ippo could have a reputation of dealing brain damage to every opponent.

As far as i'm concerned, the only thing, ONLY THING that can redeem this fight is the unveiling of the new dempsey roll. Complete with a flashback to Ippo secretely working on it and they have to ham it the gently caress up. I wanna see the announcer shout "LIKE A PHOENIX RISING FROM THE ASHES. THIS IS NO LONGER THE DEMPSEY ROLL, THIS IS THE IPPOOOOO ROLLLLLL"

Icing on the cake will be permanently destroying Woli's boxing career.

If that Woli comment with the stool is supposed to be foreshadowing, then this is even worse than I imagined. No way those lame body blows have done any real damage, not buying it.

I just came in to post this. What a bunch of poo poo.
