The only exception I can really think of is perhaps Vorg who started as an out-boxer but became an in-boxer for Japan for more entertaining fights.

Yeah but Mashiba is supposed to be pretty lanky with a long reach and I think that page was before all the characters became angular caricatures of human beings. Edit: You have a point with Kimura though! Centzon Totochtin fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Aug 4, 2010 |

It always weirded me out seeing these guys that are supposed to weigh like 125lb looking like bodybuilders. Unless they're like 5 feet tall it doesn't really make much sense. So the look they have in these recent chapters is a lot more realistic.

905 Raw is up. I-O seems stalled on their scanslations. Well, it seems that Karasawa has hit his stride. He has a game-face on, and Itagaki seems intimidated. Itagaki notices the time left in the round, gets greedy, and tries to take him down so he can beat Ippo's time. Karasawa seems to end up wrecking Itagaki's range an rhythm the whole while, making an absolute mockery of his usual god-moding. He seems to be copying lots of folks at this point. He pulled out a Jolt earlier, and in this chapter, he tries a Hitman stance (only to get his bell rung in turn). Finally, he attempts a Dragon Fish Blow (a la Kimura vs Mashiba), but the contact ends up on Karasawa's forehead, which isn't the best place to aim for when punching. Some folks are saying that he broke his fist, but I seriously doubt that. If he broke his fist, you would've seen some X-ray shot, and he'd be bawling on the ground. He just hosed up his contact and tweaked his wrist pretty badly. The round ends with Itagaki's right hand hosed up, and the momentum shifting to Karasawa. Itagaki is definitely going to win, given the mood, but he's getting taken down a few notches in the process.

I think I know where this fight is going, Itagaki gets increasingly frustrated that his mimicfighting is not working, will possibly take a really bad down, and then will somehow be reminded to stay true to his style of boxing instead of everyone else's.

It's pretty hardcore that Karasawa literally intercepted Itagaki's fist with his skull, and came out of it better off. I may have to stop referring to him as "the guy that Ippo beat so badly he became incontinent"

Itagaki is just playing stupid; soon he will unleash God Mode 2, which looks similar to Woli's God Mode but adds in blue lightning that sparks around Itagaki's body. Still an Itagaki fan.

It seems fair enough. Even if he wins, everyone knows he's a poo poo boxer getting by on his natural ability. He's fighting a fairly mediocre pro. Not that Karasawa's bad, but there are tons of guys better. Someone with a bit more ability that understood boxing would have had Itagaki coughing up teeth at this point. Like they said, a high performance car with an incompetent driver. Hopefully it takes his personality down a few pegs from "Hope he gets sexually assaulted in the showers to" "kind of a prick".

Itagaki, remember the power of the smug! just copy Woli and use a jumping C into a custom combo! Itagaki will win, but wont be a be able to do it in time so he will learn some humility or something

Just like Ippo, Mori (as a writer) has the ability to overcome the odds and make a comeback. We've been waiting a long time. The manga is looking to be much better than it used to be. Itagaki will still win this fight, and most likely beat Saeki too, but I still enjoy this fight much, much more than Woli. A dark period is ending, we can actually get excited about Ippo again (I hope).

I think Morikawa has a problem in general with Ippo's fights. They always seem wayyyy slower paced than any other ones, I guess because he's really pushing the whole POV thing since Ippo's the main character. But instead of making the reader feel engrossed, it just means things are SUPER DUPER SLOW.

It's cuz he's still a wimp. He's come along, but considering the meager amount of improvement he's made in some 900 chapters, while constantly being surrounded by dudes who are alpha as gently caress, you could say he's preternaturally disposed to being weak. Hajime no Ippo is the ultimate tale of nurture conquering nature!

906 Raw is up. Loosely translated based on what someone on I-O's main message board said. Shinoda and the seconds in general seem to have it decided already that Itagaki isn't going to pull out a win, and Aokimura already basically went WELP, HE'S DONE. No word on what Takamura thinks (but he appears). Round starts and Itagaki is getting tarred and feathered nonstop. He notices the time left in the round just as it passes the 2:30 mark, which Ippo beat Karasawa within. He tosses away his goal/pride and remembers how Ippo mentioned he hit Woli: hit once, build on that from there. Itagaki goes from OH GOD  to a rather serious expression, and the chapter ends.Seems like it won't drag on terribly much longer, one would hope

Doubt it's going to be a repeat, really. He's just realising that making the goal to win in a certain manner is hampering him. Unlike Ippo who had to start taking baby steps against Woli to stand a chance, Itagaki needs to evaluate what the gently caress he's doing in the ring, because he's pretty much way better than Karasawa. He's just loving himself up with stupid goals. Just like Takamura did at one point (God, that's a long time ago, when he proclaimed that he'd win in one blow, and then proceeded to have a fairly hard time against a chump... though Takamura has the awesomeness required to pull through on stupid goals.)

Yeah, I think he'll turn it around in the next chapter or two. He had his eyes set on some stupid goal, got greedy, and abandoned his usual style. Next chapter or two, he should start turning it around, unless Karasawa has another trick ready Bear in mind that Ippo was outclassed in virtually every way (except experience). Itagaki just got greedy and finally snapped out of it. Come to think of it, has he ever come from behind to win? Maybe the Imae (his rival. I think that's his name) bout? Can hardly remember that fight, though.

I may be wrong, but it was actually Takamura saying he wouldn't TAKE a single punch. He of course acted like a fuckhead, got clocked, and then dodged every single punch before annihilating the guy. Takamura rules.

Pretty sure he also had one where he just went BEETLE PUNCH for the entire fight until he went screw it and just clocked the guy with a normal punch knocking him out. Edit: The one with taking a single punch was where he tried "Look away!" Second edit: Ah, okay, he didn't say anything about winning in one punch, he just went BEETLE'S UPPERCUT for like 12 times in a row and ends up clocking the guy with a regular punch, oneshotting him.

I hope we'll see more Takamura rising through the weight classes soon. Because i'm so very sure that the heavyweight champ will be some kind of Nikolai Valujev expy. And it will be AWESOME

He runs circles around Karasawa, turns completely white, and the last panel shows Karasawa in the ring, but Itagaki is nowhere to be found. He basically went Super Saiyan Next chapter will probably start off with a Dragon-Chan style jump-kick
