I know I've a long way to go but I'm reading this from the beginning. Currently on chapter 69, looks like Ippo and Miyata are going to face each other in the Finals of the Rookie King Tournament. Great story so far.

The scanslations are pretty laughable at first. SnoopyCool didn't start picking up its quality until a ways later. Then they stopped around, like, GN 40 or 50 for the longest god drat time. Then IgnitionOne said "gently caress you" and did it on their own.

Also, the artwork changes shitloads. Once you get further along, jump back 10 GNs or so. He definitely alters his style regularly.

What does GN mean? Volumes?

Does the pace of the story change at all?

He gets punched a lot as is. Glad he just won the Rookie King Tournament :) His flicker opponent guy was p. strong

What a loving fight. Sendo, Ippo, they both could have won that. drat hell of a combo at the end. Really hope to see Sendo back in the future, I hope he continues on in the future.

I sort of want to see Takamura fight his world fight really bad right now. On chapter 269, got a loooong way to go still.

Sendo is one of the characters you see repeatedly in the future, along with Mashiba and Miyata :v:

Ah wasn't sure about Mashiba because he's a weight class above Ippo right now, but Miyata and Sendo we're pretty obvious :)

It is. I give the writer a lot of slack. He's been at it for a very long time, maybe he's just desperate for new ideas and experimenting.

It's just shocking that I'm 855 chapters in and I don't see Ippo fighting, nevermind beating, the world champion any time soon.

If Ippo manages to lose this I'll kill someone. That said, I'm still only on 870. Almost caught up.

And gently caress that went really, really fast. Great story.

Well okay, isn't this his last challenge in te OPBF area? So when he beats Wolli, hopefully he can move on in the world. Kid's already ranked 8th, so it shouldn't be MUCH longer. I still don't get why he couldn't just fight Miyata after the RANDY BOY JUNIOR fight.

879 spoilers:

Miguel tells Woli to stop dodging and have a punching match with Ippo

:rolleyes:

I hope Woli beats Ippo at his own game and then challenges Martinez and gets stomped just to show Ippo how far away he still is.

Reading the entire manga in 2 weeks and running into this Woli fight really makes you see how fast it went downhill.

If thats loving true this fight is literally the worst ever

I just ignore the filler title defenses. And Takamura v Hawk was so loving awesome that it makes up for anything else he does
