If it was handled like that we never would have gotten the Brian Hawk fight, which was probably the best in the series next to Ippo/Sendo

Of course, there was also Takamura's last fight where he almost lost because he randomly forgot how to box for no particular reason.

I think Sendo deserves success on the "world stage" more than Ippo does, to be honest. Ippo loves boxing, but he doesn't seem to have the ambition necessary and obsesses too much about stupid poo poo like fighting Miyata.

Sendo is just as bad whenever there's even the slightest chance of him punching Ippo in the face.

After you read it make sure to look up the final blow (you'll know what move Ippo does) on youtube. It's loving fantastic animated.

What a loving fight. Sendo, Ippo, they both could have won that. drat hell of a combo at the end. Really hope to see Sendo back in the future, I hope he continues on in the future.

I sort of want to see Takamura fight his world fight really bad right now. On chapter 269, got a loooong way to go still.

Sendo is one of the characters you see repeatedly in the future, along with Mashiba and Miyata :v:

I'm glad goodvisiontoucan is reading the manga, brings back memories. Talking about the old glory days of Ippo are far more exciting than the current slop. It's like old dudes in a barber shop talking about Ali or Foreman fights in their prime.

At least if they animate Ippo again the next series of fights will be very good ones.

Takamura's voice actor confirmed in a blog entry not too long after New Challenger ended that he was approached for a follow-up series. So there will be more :v:

Yeah, Hammer Nao bugged me. I also get upset as to how Takamura's observations are like god-moding.

WOW HE'S BEATING THE PISS OUT OF GEROMICHI

Yeah, it's because he doesn't want to fight him :colbert:

878 Raw is out. Ippo pays attention this time and sees Woli gently caress him up while in the corner, and is almost KOed but is saved by the bell. Everyone is like :wtc: especially Itagaki. Kamogawa tells Ippo that Woli is like a million times better than him, but then again, but that's never stopped Ippo from winning before, except that one time. His orders are to switch to compact punches to push Woli around instead of big punches to stop him from being able to move, and Ippo realizes his best chance is to aim for simultaneous punches, which lends credence to anyone who believes Ippo will be punch drunk by the time he retires.

What's a simultaneous punch? Punching with both arms at once? That's got to be weak as hell.

Haha, my thoughts exactly. Woli stares in awe at the amazing size of the Nipponese dick.

Really disappointed that apparently there's gonna be yet another chapter of Ippo getting the poo poo beaten out of him. This is even worse than the Gedo fight :(

"Ippo. He's a genius at drawing things out!" or
"Oh that's what I was doing wrong! I should try punching!"

If this fight were an ice cream flavour, it'd be pralines and dick.
