Yeah the New Challenger DVDs didn't even chart meaning none of the volumes ever did more than 800 copies sold.

So Deathy has a pretty safe wager.

He squished the banana and didn't want it to go to waste so he ate it. You could take it as some kind of symbolism to go with the conversation but all I'm getting is if the coach breaks Ippo he'll eat Ippo's banana.

Ignition-One, the group translating Ippo, has an online viewer that goes back to the first chapter.

It's pretty hardcore that Karasawa literally intercepted Itagaki's fist with his skull, and came out of it better off. I may have to stop referring to him as "the guy that Ippo beat so badly he became incontinent"
Throwing off a punches timing by changing where it hits was the first thing Kamogawa thought Ippo. Then again that was on purpose and this is a happy accident for Karasawa.

They've actually picked up the pace on the Joe subs. Saizen teamed up with Hokuto no Gun and they're on episode 28 now.

It's not really bizarre at all. The manga has been hammering at the point that no one boxes like Ippo anymore because it basically destroys the boxer like it did with Kamogawa and Nekota for a while now. Only reason that Ippo can do it is retard strength and a reserve of stamina that runs as deep as the plot needs it to be. It's supposed to be what makes Ippo special but after a while it's gotten a bit tedious.
