The prospect of facing Ippo's massive schlong intimidated Miyata into fleeing to a higher weight class.

I don't know if you're joking or not but I'm pretty sure Miyata is still a featherweight, just throwing that out there because I remember people actually thought that he had moved up a class

Eh. I remember them making a big deal about Miyata moving up a weight class, and how it meant Ippo and Miyata would never have their rematch.

Yeah, they kept talking about how his weight control was really digging into his stamina during matches so he might want to move up to Junior Lightweight but I think either his proposed match with Ippo or match with Randy Boy Jr. put that on hold.

True. Unlike every other character, Miyata hasn't done much of anything lately. No, wait. That is very much like every other character.

As poor as the action has been, I'll admit, I'm kinda excited that stuff is actually happening. Sure, it' retarded that he pretty much shrugged that hit off, but now we've covered Takamura premonition and advice, so this could be a one hit K.O to end the match.

He's fighting whomever it takes to a) Always fight in Japan and b) Never face the world. Seriously, would it hurt the manga if he went outside they Konrakuen and had an important fight in some other country? I would at least have some Aoki/Kimura fish-out-of-water jokes.

Even the goddamn world champions flew to Japan to fight Takamura.

It isn't even that Mori can't or won't depict overseas events. Miyata had that lovely arc in Thailand, after all. But really now. This is a manga that spent what, 4 consecutive chapters on a staring contest? Mori thought that was a good idea, so I sort of doubt that going overseas would change anything for the better.

I'm somewhat dubious of the idea that anyone that bad off could win against a celebrated national champion. But you see, Miyata is japanese and he brings his samurai spirit into play. I'm not sure what a long extinct class of swordsmen have to do with non-lethal sporting events, but still. Samurai spirit.

Just realized that we might be building up to a most glorious one-hit K.O. If we are, then all the pacing of this whole 'fight' would make sense as it's just a huge build-up for Ippo's one punch. I bet it would be a lot less horrible to read if you weren't waiting for it each week too.

More likely scenario though is that the bell rings when Ippo's fist is 1 inch from colliding with his face :suicide:

Most likely scenario is Ippo takes the entire chapter to recover and everyone talks about how miraculous it is that he recovered and it ends with a picture of Ippo looking angry.

It has been running long enough that it could probably turn into a children's card game merchandise vehicle and still coast another 10 years on nostalgia.

I really wouldn't have minded this fight at all if it wasn't for the ridiculous amount of buildup that the chapters had- first how they kept teasing about IPPO'S WEAKNESS and then them just standing and staring at each other during the fight.

But really the fight itself should have have been two chapters tops.
