And really coach's stance has been "I am here to witness takamura rise to greatness, but my real calling is to train ippo because it is my style not only my gym that will make him a champion" and he really hasn't been executing on that.

Coach needs to un-worthless his old rear end in the coming chapters. Right after Ippo rips off Woli's head and devours his liver to obtain his monkey skills.

I don't remember what shape Date is in because I read through the manga 5 years or so ago, but how awesome would it be if Kamogawa retired and Date took over training Ippo to beat Martinez? It would probably take a Woli loss for something like this to happen, but it would be so much better than, "Ippo pulls out retard strength to beat Woli, Coach has him run on the beach while juggling coconuts for 5 issues in preperation for the next fight where Ippo takes 8 rounds of punches and then gets one lucky hit to the jaw to win."

The problem with that is, at very least from what we have seen, date has been made explicitly out to be a bad trainer, or at least a trainer whose fighter keeps losing. Coach is supposed to be legendary (as far as the universe is concerned) even if to viewers it's fairly obvious he's doing nothing.

I badly, BADLY want to see Ippo lose this one. A bit of soul searching about the higher level of people he's going to fight and a poo poo ton of training (Grab... THIRTY leaves.) and then have him fight somebody else who isn't Woli, as well as setting up Woli in Miyata's place as Ippo's rival.

I don't think anyone wants to see Woli again after this, except as a one panel takedown where Aoki trains and frog punches him.

And yeah, the last I remembered of Date he wasn't training anyone, so if he's actually a lousy trainer I guess that wouldn't work. Although he would still be better than Kamogawa

Yeah my problem with the manga now is that it legit feels like Ippo has regressed. In this fight it was established that Ippo doesn't have to rely on his chin and the dempsey roll to kill everyone but that rather his basic punches were on a good level. but then he fought black magician and australian monkey man and derp derp gently caress jabs and hooks where we're going we don't need technique to box

Tezcatlipoca posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR4BpqG_rfk Funny someone would post a Shooto fight in this thread when I just started getting ready to talk about this. If your hungry for a sports manga that hasn't gotten brutally loving retarded try this http://www.mangafox.com/manga/all_rounder_meguru/ All Rounder Meguru is a manga about Shooto. For those not in the know, Shooto is a Mixed Martial Arts Promotion based out of Japan. Shooto was founded in 1985 and held its first Amateur events in 1986 and Professional events in 1989, Beating both the most famous MMA Promotion to date, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and one of the earliest Japanese promotions Pancrase, by over 4 years. Shooto is organized a lot better than a lot of the smaller promotions having a clearly defined and well organized amateur system and in my opinion its the sort of system MMA will have to adopt if it expects to ever grow into a cohesive world wide sport like boxing. Meguru seems to tell the story of two young friends who compete in the Shooto Amateur circuit. The series is completely grounded, even more so than Ippo. No super powers, no secret moves, just realistic training and fights the things I loved most about Ippo. The technical details of the series, either in training or during matches, are really well done and its clear the artist is a fan of the sport. The art is pretty good too, full of fantastic little details, one of my favorite things is that characters in the manga are clearly wearing Rashguards and Shorts made by the popular Japanese company reversal.dogi.design.works (rvddw) The book is pretty young, I've only managed to find 13 chapters but this book has all the things I loved about Hajime Ippo just in another sport and I hope you guys give it a try.

To be fair people used to bitch a lot about no one in Ippo looking their weight class. Though I liked the bulkier art style more. It fit the over the top punching matches the early fights had better.

887 raw is up! Huzzah for idiots only using lovely upload sites! Edit: wtf. Ridiculously small pictures. Hopefully something real will come up. Ippo doesn't seem to get hit for once! He almost goes down, but hooks the rope with his arm. Coach stops himself from throwing the towel, but the Ref seems like he is moving in to end the fight. Seeing the Referee moving over, Ippo does some ridiculously WTF-power-like swing which Woli seems to dodge, as always. But for once, it seems Woli and Miguel are rattled by him. Referee changes his mind about ending it, and the round ends right after that. Following this, Miguel and Woli remain completely confused as to how Ippo could still function after the pretty brutal cold-cock he took at the end of the previous chapter. It shows a picture of a brain and nerves cut off, etc, so that's what I figure. Ippo then stands at his corner at the end of the chapter, in the corner, all lit on fire by his legendary samurai spirit. Yeah, what we figured would come has arrived at last Maybe Ippo will go god-mode sometime in the next fifteen chapters. From what I can guess, Miguel is definitely seeing some parallel to Kamogawa in his youth. The whole premise of this fight has been about showing Ippo pull off some victory in spite of being completely outclassed, as was the case in Kamogawa-Sanders. Although, that was far more awesome because Sanders was several weight classes over Kamogawa, recently primed up from training, and world-title caliber. Not some rookie who is god-moding.Once again, gently caress YOU, MORI. Every time I say "poo poo's gonna happen next time", it never does. I'm hoping that Woli has glass bones or some poo poo, because I want that gently caress to be broken from one single brutal punch. Don't drag this out. gently caress. This has literally been 2-3 graphic novels of dodging. I'm still hoping they scanslate this fast, though. Or someone translates it. Some on-switch got flicked in Ippo's head in this chapter, because he seems pretty coherent and ready to kick some rear end (or so we'd think) at the end of it, rather than just hoping to gently caress him with his fist. If you want a HQ scan of the raw, keep an eye on raw-paradise.com (shown in the zip) for it. Otherwise, you can zoom in and get the gist of it. Edit 2: One of the last lines of the chapter translated via another forum: Ippo: "I know I can hit him. Keep on standing. It isn't over yet... One more punch. Everything I have left... Let's go!" My prediction? Next round will be Ippo closing in. Will probably end with him throwing his punch. Usually this means it won't pay off, but given Mori's pacing, that's probably what he'll go with just to string it along. Geop fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Mar 7, 2010 |

Ippo winning this fight is just as ridiculous as an opponent as skilled, able to defy gravity and as fast as Woli. EDIT: Wait I got it. He takes so much brain damage.. he becomes unbraindamaged. Infinitum fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Mar 8, 2010 |

I mean you can say anything else about these chapters, but not that he's not aware of his surroundings enough. If anything, he's way too aware of what's going on around him, for being beaten half to death.

888 Raw is up (lovely upload site from Raw Paradise). Guess what? Another cliffhanger! To be expected. Ippo gets popped once in the face, but most of the chapter is Ippo throwing out combos (all of which Woli dodges) when he supposedly had "one punch left". Miguel is freaking the gently caress out nearing the end, for some reason though. I think maybe Ippo's swings are getting faster/closer or something and he doesn't like how that looks. That or he predicts what happens at the end and tells Woli to go for the kill. At the end of the chapter, Woli prepares to clock Ippo again after he misses another swing, but it seems his feet aren't responding (focuses on his dominant ankle, and it's shaking) as hinted earlier. Seems like my guess of him running out of gas without knowing it is right To which, Ippo pulls out an "ABOUT TIME" face, and the chapter ends with him readying another punch.I knew he wouldn't have landed a blow this week. Mori's pacing isn't like that. Figured there'd be a week lead-in. Now, if it doesn't happen next week, I'll genuinely be upset. Also, some folks are siding with Ippo's bodyblows somehow doing TSUBO SPOT type poo poo to Woli, but I hope that isn't the case. I'd prefer the guy wearing himself out without realizing it.
