by the way it's being written, i'd think this ends up being an explicit refusal of that approach lol. like imai has regressed as he's learned to lean into his strongest weapon, going for that round 1 KO. i wonder if that parallels anyone??

Beating him with his own style to prove he's ready to move onto the world? That's what I was thinking. Doesn't make sense in the real world but a lot of this doesn't. Volg was forced to fight in a more flashy style and still got screwed. Glad he found success eventually. Ippo would have stood no chance against him if he fought more technically.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

its going to be a unification bout. i can't see any other possibility. i bet ricardo accidentally kills his opponent too, another anj homage and builds tension without having to actually kill sendo

It's going to be in a hospital where Ippo cries over their bed and promises to win for them. All while his gf is giving him the death stare and tries to manipulate him from going back to boxing.

sendo is very explicitly based on joe yabuki, who very famously died fighting the character that ricardo martinez is clearly copied from, so i dont think its wild to imagine there will be a death somewhere attached to this fight. i just think mori wont kill sendo and will use this inbetween opponent for that effect

I honestly don't see the author killing a character, the one time we thought someone died after a fight we find out later he survived, but had to retire because of the accident.

Now getting hosed up so much they have to retire? Yeah I can see that.

It's because they are unwilling or incapable to bait him by offering their head for punching and somehow outlasting him.
