Oh goddamnit, now all I imagine is Ippo opening his new SHARINGAN EYES next chapter. Wait, that would redeem this poo poo. This manga's seen better times man.

In a fit of desperation Ippo picks up Woli just as he lands on a cornerpost while jumping everywhere and performs a burning hammer that breaks Woli's neck and paralyzes him for life.

Ippo's going to end it by tapping Woli on the jaw, causing it to shatter in a billion pieces. Woli's loving smug mouth will be wired shut for MONTHS. And then he never boxes again.

Ippo's going to wake up from his nightmare the morning of the fight then go on and fight Woli fueled by the terror of his dream causing him to land that "perfect punch" combined with force that "surpasses human limits" causing him to knock Woli's head completely off.

Anyone else have a feeling that Woli is just going to get bored and quit. Even he's tired of this fight.

Woli gets tired of this and does something blatently illegal to knock Ippo out, disqualifying himself. He then pulls down his shorts, takes a poo poo on Ippo, and the last page is Morikawa announcing that he's done with this manga.

My god, this is even worse when I can understand it. Let's imply that Woli doesn't know anything about boxing. That's sure to make the fight more dramatic. And how many times have they said "tear my flesh, break his bones"? I think I should listen to myself about putting down this story.

I do have a theory about how Ippo's going to come back. With all the zoom-ins we've gotten on Woli's eye, Ippo will probably scratch his cornea which will turn the tables.

I've been wondering the same :smith: Who knows! Maybe Ippo will reveal he was setting up a Rube Goldberg-esque trap and it is sprung. Ippo then goes :smuggo: and then says JUST AS PLANNED.

That would be pretty neat. Unfortunately, that would require some build-up and forethought. Right now all we've got is "smaller, tighter..must assume fetal position."

Considering how often shounen manga ends up like this "He's so powerful, even though I'm the protagonist and should be making GBS threads him out he's SUPER STRONG OKAY?" I have to imagine it's at least somewhat popular :<

882 Raw

Ippo gets the piss knocked out of him. He ends up charging in toward Woli a few times and fails, but he finally manages to press in to him and lands a punch. Rather, not a punch. His fist just touches against Woli's torso, who then bats it away and hits him some more. Round ends. He then sits in the corner with a smile on his face.

IPPO HAS A PLAN :panic:

That or he's happy because he basically tapped Woli's belt before getting sucker-punched at the end of the round.

Or brain damage.
Ref: "I should stop this fight. He's sitting in the corner with a huge grin on his face after he's clearly forgotten how to box."


EDIT: I'm going to reiterate how loving moronic this fight is. Woli's coach made a conscious decision to switch from the WINNING strategy that was absolutely destroying Ippo at range in Monkey Man mode so he could PRACTICE infighting in the MIDDLE OF A FIGHT.
BUT because he has switched to infighting mode he is now going to be KO'd by a half dead Ippo who has taken more punches than I have ever seen him take in 1 fight.

Well, I'm sure Ippo will land a crippling blow, then Woli will switch back to his specialty, and Ippo will beat him at that. This series, from what I recall, likes to have Ippo plow through any obstacles. Even "god mode stances".

Ya, it's pretty dumb. I mean, I know this is shonen, so we need to have a dramatic KO, but it would be nice if the author pretended win by decision actually exists. Seriously, Ippo just touched him, and he's happy about that. This is the start of his comeback...really. At this point, I think I'm going to be disappointed even when Ippo eventually wins.

So is this worse than the Gedo fight now? I only read that one after the fact, so it was a little easier to read through than this.

Is Ippo's expression at the end of 882 really a sign of comeback?

I don't have a clue what he's saying but his face looks like he's giving up. When he tried to get even a tiny hit on Woli at the end of the last round, if you look closely it was STILL blocked.

Moreso than giving up, I think it was Ippo making his :unsmith: face. He's pleased about making progress and actually touching him. But I'm confused as to why he didn't lay in to him with actual force. God drat Mori for teasing us with this. Just land the punch already. You've blue-balled readers long enough. Forget the foreplay and get in to the real rear end-kicking. I'd rather not have him waste 2-3 more chapters before Ippo does something.

Maybe what he's pleased about is that he did what he was doing repeatedly, and actually made progress. Woli's one of the types who go LOL SEEN THAT BEFORE[/godmode]

The main thing is Ippo was focusing on form and practice to even touch Woli. Now he's found the sweet spot and will put it in to play.
