Yeah, they sparred together when Miyata was prepping for the Randy Boy Jr. fight.

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 feel like there is increaasing emphasis on the fact that takamura disappears for these trips. i wonder if it'll end up being related to a health problem ro something

the comedy has been unreal these last few chapters. everything about takamura showing up was hilarious

I love that, since Hawk, Takamura has struggled less and less with each title match as he moves up the weight classes and has to cut less. Even Eagle was, albeit slightly, less of a struggle than Hawk.

Now he's down to single panel clobbering. The next title match is going to happen completely off-screen at this pace.

it's because his weight control isn't as severe as he moves up to his natural weightclass isn't it

That has a lot to do with it, which makes it even more baffling why Kamogawa(Morikawa) kept him in middleweight for so long fighting relative jobbers.

I'm vaguely remembering maybe halfway that early on in the manga it was said that takamura was kept in a lower weight class because he would barely have anyone to fight otherwise, as he's a pretty big guy naturally. kamogawa probably figured that the lower weight class fights against people who were top-tier in that weight class was better for his development.

Yeah he was constrained by the boxers available in Japan.

How tall is Takamura supposed to be, anwyay? LIke is he a giant or is he tall for a Japanese dude, like a Japanese pro wrestler?

He actually had to go down a Weightclass to fight Hawk.

It was noted that Super Middleweight has so far been his best state. But it's possible he could have trouble as he moves up as he will start slowing down, and might start fighting people that hit harder than him. And while his natural weight would put him in the Heavies, he would be a very small Heavy, one who would normally go to a smaller weightclass.

how does he still have all those belts if he switched weight classes so many times

I don't think they physically take the belt away from you when you switch weight classes, they just make a new belt to give to the next guy

you dont gotta give them back, you keep a replica of the belt and he never lost any of them in a fight, just relinquished to move up a class

You are technically correct, It was the older Takamura brother who designed it, and wanted it to stand for Takamura.
