I WON THE BETTING POOL ON TESSAS THIRD STUPID VOTE AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS HALF-ASSED TITLE

I just caught up with the manga after stopping reading when Onemanga went down, and NOTHING HAS loving HAPPENED. Why did I even bother? I was expecting to see Ippo wreck this guy atleast but the fight hasnt even happened yet?!

I swear if this turns out to be worse than the Woli fight I am going to stop reading (who am I kidding?:().

There is no way it can be worse that the Woli fight. So at least we have that.

Seriously, the new guy could be a zombie boxer and it wouldn't be half as bad as Woli

No. He'll barely win like always.

I want him to get his own God mode. However, unlike what's his face, it doesn't make him teleport around the ring. Instead, he will just punch you through your own punches. He will punch your fist, it will shatter your entire arm and then you won't have a guard. Then he will punch you.
And then the opponent will unveil his strategy and Ippo will barely win.

Remeber when Kamogawa was driving logs into a Hill with his fists and how then the manga suggested Ippo would follow his steps and become a dervish of physical destruction? Well, instead we got crap like those love taps he gave Woli that -somehow- completely hosed him up.

Lets draw this poo poo out some more! Tune in next week for more gripping instalments of:
- Training harder!
- Did I mention my fist is broken!
- Also that I know his weakness!

Get to the loving fight already :argh:

He's going to put on a Miyata mask so Ippo is too busy hiding his boner to fight straight.

Jesus gently caress isn't Ippo reaching the limit of human strength. Seriously, you can train with all the shonen spirit you want but there's going to be a point where your body just won't add any mass to your muscles.

And he has to build all that muscle without gaining weight! My theory is that all the brain matter he loses during each fight is replaced with muscle.

Besides his dick is there anything Ippo has not trained to the most extreme levels?

I'm calling it, it's just a big goddamn bluff.

He's trying to psych Ippo into expecting some crazy rear end strategy and then just punch him really really hard (it almost works but then burning shounen spirit prevails)

Ippo's weakness is his crippling gynophobia. I'd call it a fear of intimacy, but everyone knows he'd jump straight into bed if Miyata so much as crooked a finger.

Ok, so what is a gimmick that someone hasn't used yet?

There might be some straight body punches because i don't think anyone's used those yet in any effect.

Pffft. I was making "Miyata is Ippo's weakness" jokes in this thread more than a year ago! (This manga has become so sad.)

Illegal usernane: I believe Ippo has already fought with a Karate-trained boxer who specialized in straight body punches, like 15 years ago.

No, that was Itagaki. If Itagaki didn't beat him, he would've gotten a match against Ippo. That was the beginning of the Itagaki godmoding bullshit IIRC.

Ippo is weak against magic monkey men. Woli was the first saiyan to challenge Ippo, but he was certainly not the last.

I hope Ippo kills him.
So that he becomes scared of his fists.
And quits boxing forever.
Then the manga can focus solely on MiyataItagaki and Takamura.
