I just want Ippo to wipe that smug loving smirk off of Woli's face.

Perferably by physically removing his lips from his body.

New Ippo! http://www.onemanga.com/Hajime_no_Ippo/869/

It's not bad, though Woli lasts for another chapter too long.

yeah you wish

seeing how this is going we will find out he was wrestling gorillas all along and is actually The Sturdiest Man alive and takes all of Ippo's punches never losing the :smug: and then Ippo somehow gets that green light in his eyes and you hear the theme song even tho it's the manga and starts winning with inhuman power but then Woli turns into a super saiyan and kills everyone and Piccolo has to step in

I'm pretty sure this would be better than whatever Mori has planned.

... but even if it wasn't, I want this to happen anyway.

Woli could beat Takamura.

On the flipside, if Takamura connected with a punch, he could reduce Woli to 2D.

Miyata has lightspeed knuckles, so Ippo gets accupressure fists; he hits one area of the body to affect another.

It's just dumb enough to be true, and it scares me.

I hope, during the inevitable Ippo/Itagaki faceoff, Itagaki tries to pull off a head slip, and the force of Ippo's punch snaps his neck clean off of his body. I hate Itagaki.

I'm cautiously optimistic for this upcoming fight, although it seems like a foregone conclusion it'll end in a slugfest.

EDIT: I am totally optimistic for Takamura's upcoming fight, though.

It's pretty good until he fights that fisherman guy whose whole shtick is I PLAY IN THE WATER THEREFORE I CAN HOLD MY BREATH LONGER THAN YOU THAT MEANS I'M BETTER AT BOXING :shepface:

At that point it's a pretty sharp decline into mediocrity, and eventually just plain terrible.

Ippo will invariably win, but he'll only just barely eke out a victory over Itagaki (might possibly even be Ippo's one and only win from decision) instead of wasting him and permanently crippling him from a single kidney blow.

Kamogawa is an awful trainer; any real trainer who put his boxers through that kind of punishment would be run out of town on a rail. Also, you're telling me he got Ippo to number #3 in the world without getting a big payday? I'm not saying Ippo should be a millionaire, but you'd think a fighter who can fill Korakuen Hall would at least be making middle class money.

Kamogawa's stealing it all.

Wasn't it established by Mashiba that what made Ippo weakness was that he was more concerned about returning safe from a fight than winning? I kinda expect the turning point to be something like "continuing this fight will significantly reduce your life span Ippo, let's throw the towel", and then Ippo proceeds to continue and tap into some hidden potential or whatever shounen thing before making another comeback win.

Ippo's samurai spirit causes him to literally transform into a samurai and he beheads Gonzalez. T.K.O. in the sixth round

A-ha! You thought you had me but I intercepted your punch with my head!

This proves that all the things I learned were worth it.

Next: Hitting your knuckles with my face.

To be fair, this is actually a real thing. It's kind of a last resort sort of deal, when you have no other option but to take the hit, but the alternative is taking the punch to your face where it will absolutely hurt a lot more.

The rest, however, is as hilariously insulting to real boxing as I've come to expect out of this manga.
