I like how the last lines make it sound like the real fight is just getting started.

I was being sarcastic. Maybe next round Ippo will lightly tap him twice.

And his girlfriend faints, because gently caress women. haha, it's funny because Ippo will never get any pussy.

Kumi is just Ippo's beard. She has barely been relevant to the story since she was first introduced, aside from that one time Mashiba went apeshit but still lost against on her behalf.

883 Raw is up. What happens? Well, let's see...: - Lots of talking. - More talking. - Some more talking. - Ippo charges Woli at the start of the round, but he vanishes using ninja-monkey powers. - Turns out Woli can wall-cling like Spiderman. The loving hell. - WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP. I hope he gets the gently caress shoryuken'd out of his face in the next chapter. This is god drat ridiculous. gently caress you and your horrible pacing, Mori.

Wow, Woli is a genius. Ya, just chilling here, ignoring gravity. Been taking some ninja temp classes, you know. Gravity? That image perfectly encapsulates this fight I think. Matlock Birthmark fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Feb 9, 2010 |

Anyone else have this feeling that we could replace every utterance of the word "Woli" with "Sasuke" and it wouldn't change anything at all?

I'm going to laugh if Ippo shocks all of us by catching Woli in his monkey jump. "YEAH YOU'RE PRETTY MUCH BETTER THAN ME IN EVERYTHING BOXING RELATED. BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY TITLE OF VIOLENT MEAT HEADED ANIMAL!!!" Dempsey Roll to Monkey Leap, Woli dies instantly. Manga ends.

Show us the super-special Monkey Punch Woli-sama!!! Obviously you cannot learn any boxing out of that punching bag. Japanese Spirit can only be harnessed by Japanese guys, you know.

It's going to end ridiculously. Woli will lose because the monkeys (not being predators) didn't teach him killer instinct and will never fight again because of this fatal flaw.

Matlock Birthmark posted:Gravity? That image perfectly encapsulates this fight I think. Cool I'd been thinking punches breaking the sound barrier and loose gloves working as extending fists weren't nearly absurd and impossible enough to keep me captivated. Another wonderful step further away from the laws of physics for Morikawa, excellent. There's a guy on the right of that pic that looks very distraught with "BOXING" on his shirt. He represents the sport as a whole and its opinion of this moment.

I think i'll start rereading this and hoping the last few fights never happen. This poo poo is starting to get worse than Baki (Which, based on a few chapters seems to consist of revealing ULTIMATE MOVES to each other, homoerotic posing and looking like  )

I'm guessing Ippo will stay standing through the entire fight, and then the judges will give him the win on points because he is a japanese champ in Japan fighting a foreigner.

So, is there a decent alternative to this manga out there? I need something with the same general premise (doesn't have to be boxing) to fill the void now that I'm no longer reading it.

Maybe Berserk if you wanna see brutal medieval killing  But that's about as far from Ippo as you're gonna get.What do you mean the same general premise? Guy starts from square one and improves visibly (lawl. In theory, IPPO ) throughout the manga?

There's pretty much a poo poo ton of shounen manga where some high-school dude goes from a nobody to a martial arts badass, all of varying realism. History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi is pretty good, though much less realistic than Ippo is (or was until this fight).
