- Best talents - Best strategy - Best trainer - MOST love of boxing could there possibly be a more fitting world champion? (though a double retirement leaving Sendou as the unhappy champ would be really funny)

hes just too good! He runs around the ring 18 times before every punch! He ate the gum gum fruit and now his punches change direction 5 times without losing any momentum! Ricardo has no idea what to do except stand there and pray for a quick death! Wow I love Woli

Very fitting that the only thing worse than the first Woli fight is the second Woli fight

Woli's first fight is still worse, because Ricardo isn't acting like a total moron like ippo was. He's at least trying to think of a way around Woli's bullshit and is playing it safe until he figures it out

I really liked this chapter. Glad we got more insight into Recardo.

I assume he was so bored of fighting 'regular' boxers that he just went to his trainer and said gently caress Me Up Fam. I assume now that he knows what Woli is aiming for he'll be able to predict his movement and counterattack in some way. Maybe in a few weeks or something I dunno.

Wolis first fight was a one-two KO punch of the worst written boxer ever facing the boxer with the worst strategy in the history of boxing. This fight is a lot better (SO FAR…) because Ricardo is acting perfectly professional and reasonable in the face of World War MonkeyBoxing. And he is using his brain! Finding strategies! Not doing things that put him at a disadvantage! Wow! The Fighting!

it keeps looking like woli is jumping back-first at ricardo which might be one of the most illegal things you can do

How many more chapters/rounds do you think it's gonna be before Ricardo actually throws a punch

So Woli has thrown about 100 punches. He could just do nothing for the rest of the fight and he could win on scorecards alone. Please have Ricardo so lost in thought that he does absolutely nothing.

Is aiming for the eyes a thing? Is Woli deliberately trying to cut Martinez's eyebrow so it bleeds into his eye or something? We are seeing a newer and more brutal side to Woli. Playtime is over.

I mean, so far it is, in that the comparison is between Some Punches and No Punches. Once both guys start swinging it gets more subjective but I believe at that point the judges look for who scored the most hits.

Wally was said to have won a good chunk of matches due to Doctor stops from eye bleeding.

And there are still 8 rounds left I think.

To go against the grain a bit, I think that "Ippo being second for Woli's title challenge against Martinez" is actually a pretty interesting concept for an arc in this manga that I never would have anticipated. As long as Woli can keep his actions during the fight more reasonable and less "running circles around the referee," it can be a good match.
|
# ? Oct 12, 2022 22:25 |
everything about this arc has been really cool except for woli moving like a mega man x speedrunner in the ring

Ricardo will throw a single punch and it will decapitate Wally and the crowd will love it

# ? Oct 13, 2022 01:45 |

I still think Woli will gently caress up and hit the 'stache instead of the eyes and Ricardo will activate "Tepito mode"

It is Round 8. The ring is full of circular tire tracks. As Woli drifts by backwards for another drive-by chaingun barrage, the crowd reacts in shock as Ricardo slightly contracts a muscle in his shoulder. ”Is- is he striking??” But Ricardo retracts again, keeping his guard up. ”Data”, he thinks to himself. ”I need more time, more data.”
