He has not done anything against the rules in this match.

using the ref as a shield is not allowed

Yeah , it’s such a blatant rules violation the ref should’ve stopped the match or heavily penalise him on points. You can’t even make the argument the ref isn’t seeing it, he’s shown reacting multiple times to Woli using him as a human shield.

I don't know, I'd be pretty satisfied with a whole chapter of Ricardo doing A Beautiful Mind calculations, taking into account humidity, wind resistance, Wally's fatigue from previous sprints, his adrenaline fighting in front of an away crowd... then on the last page he perfectly times one of Wally's sprints and hits him with a shovel hook that spins his head around 180 degrees.

one thing i dont get from last chapter, is ricardo actually struggling at all or nah? he says at first "same as always" implying that this match will suck as his matches do but then says woli is taking him by surprise.

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.

I think that was more in reference to his game plan being the same as all his other fights, i.e. calmly observer for the first round, use that info to start testing thing in round 2 etc. Wally's such a freak that will probably all get pushed back a round or so from normal, but Ricardo isn't planning on adjusting his overall strategy.

Do you want to believe that this fight is finally showing us why Ricardo is so special or do you want to believe it's using him to finally cement Woli as Ippo's final boss?

No you misunderstood. His coach said "just like always." Ricardo then repeats that in in his head, before saying that actually he is having trouble here as this is just too different, and he is actually pretty unsure what his plan should be.

Woli gonna win off some advice Ippo gave him. Causing Ippo to realize that Ricardo lost because his second wasn’t able to advise him better, and that Ippo himself was let down by Kamogawa as a trainer and second.

I think Morikawa's solution to working on a weekly manga for 20 years without dying is occasionally doing half or third length chapters like how Oda takes weeks off now.

It’s not the number of pages that’s the issue. The chapter could be 5 pages or 50, the same thing is happening in both: jack poo poo
