The mangas not in the 80s anymore iirc and the coach would turn from "bad old fashioned boxing coach" to "legitimately heinous criminal" if he allows ippo to keep boxing

One quick wiki check says that it's currently January 1999 in the Ippo-verse.

This is it... with that pesky brain of his out of the way, Ippo can finally tap into the power that is Ultra Instinct.

I'm re-reading the manga and no wonder Ippo is punch drunk, the first ever tip the coach gave him was to block Miyata's counter with his face.

Early-mid manga is still so good tho. I hope these last few arcs feel better when you read them at once instead of piece meal.

I just finally finished all the anime and I'm working on the manga now. I binged the second half of one piece in a week so it shouldn't take me long to catch up to this. I really like this series, Takamura and the coach are both cool. I can't wait to sit around waiting for endless chapters when I do finish catching up

This manga is a straight line, and the line is a fist hitting Ippo in the face again.

Let's take a minute to appreciate "Tumbling Dice," one of Ippo's OPs.

Still loving great.

Chapter 1202 translation: (courtesy of my friend onepenguin0)

Chapter 1202: The End

Guevara: In this match, he's shown me this low stance repeatedly.
G: What happens next? What do I do?
G: Can he really pull off this attack?
G: I can't use my right. I've only got my left now.
G: Only my left...

G: No!
G: I still have my left!
Ippo: Coach...!!!

Commentator: Third down!
C: Makunouchi has fallen!
C: Just now, the match has ended!
Audience: He... he went down.
A: Makunouchi went down...
C: A comeback loss! It's all too painful; two consecutive losses!
A: He...
A: He lost...

C: The wind god didn't come back!

Doesn't he just lose anyway because he got downed too many times this round?

Yes.

Also: Kamogawa and the others rush in after that down, which would automatically end the match regardless

those are both finished for when you've got some free time although the first part of tough hasn't been fully translated. riki-oh is only 10 volumes or whatever and is insane and owns

They really should. He only trained Ippo's body and teach him a few punches, and after Ippo got the belt he didn't even tried to teach him punches, only to get more and more buff and that his ~~willpower~~ is enough to survive.

I'm kinda excited about what's going to happen next.
