Is it even legal to run at your opponent full tilt sprint and just try and land a haymaker like that????? Cause I would imagine that kind of force would not only knock someone the gently caress out, but also do a really good job of shattering your own hand.

Lol Wally gonna be so gassed.

Perfectly legal. Haymakers are just generally not used cause they are easy to see coming.

This was MMA but Wally's tactics are making me think of the Gabi Garcia vs Yumiko Hotta fight.

Didn't Ippo already fight a guy whose whole thing was rushing in with a haymaker like that? Scratch J, I guess. I should probably read through this series again at some point.

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.

Wally wins and Ippo returns to boxing because even he hates Wally after watching this. He can cross the line into becoming a 'monster' because he doesn't care if he kills Wally in the ring.

I don't mind it but it's a rough chapter to have before a break. But I can't fault George for taking breaks.

Just genuinely amazing how the manga was on such a great run and Woli is ruining it again.

Get rid of him and remove the manga of his awfulness for good with this match.

this genuinely has to be a contrarian take for the sake of it at this pt (note: not an actual accusation i'm just bewildered at the sentiment)

we've had 3 punches in 3 chapters and then just dozens of panels of woli running

I like it well enough. It's all just build up, seems pretty normal to have a couple chapters of rising tension before the fight begins in earnest. It'll read better once completed, serial fiction can just be frustrating when you have to wait for the good stuff. I have to assume you're joking about measuring the quality of chapters in punches thrown.

The problem is that there's no tension - Woli is not going to beat Ricardo. We're just seeing three chapters of filler of Woli's typical bullshit that everyone has already seen and hated in his match with Ippo.

I’m digging the fight so far, I’ve come to peace with weekly pacing being wonky sometimes though.

So far Wally has defied all expectations, and that’s a great pattern to get into for an upset win.

It’s not. but I also started the series after the first Wally fight and did not have the same distaste for him that lots of the people in this thread have. (I read the fight but it was all at once rather than weekly)
