I dont know what exactly Ricardo is going to do here, but with how they're building it up it looks to be an even larger heartbreaking loss (mind the pun) than Date's.


That or he's gonna get dumb'ed to death, which is its own shocking moment.

Yknow I had forgotten about the elevation. Wally and his coach are dumb as hell.

They explicitly are not, they had plans for that. Richardo is just good, and did not let them get the advantage they wanted. Miguel still has a plan if Wally can survive the round.

Bits and pieces are coming back to me, but still. Going full Wally until he wears himself out and THEN busting out "that move" is galaxy brain.

Yes I know it's shonen goof stuff. It is humorous nonetheless.

Sponsors can also be good for money.

Here is a good article about boxing money https://boxingnews.jp/english/92437/ saying roughly how much someone makes at each level.

Apparently Naoya Inoue the current biggest name JP boxing has made like 500k to 1.5 million USD per fight cause the World Level is way more rewarding.

Inoue is also pretty gosh darned good

He's wanting to know if Kumi will be taken care of regardless of how the next match goes for him. Mashiba is gonna try to cross "the line." He's afraid.

Yeah, that's not surprising, but it doesn't bug me since Umezawa himself still recognizes what he did.

Yeah, this was key. Umezawa never forgot, and even if it was a single panel here or there the series made sure you knew it was in his head.

Most Featherweight people who go for a world title explicitly avoid Ricardo. Miyata stated he planned to do the same, as Ricardo for some unknown reason has never tried to unify the Featherweight Belts under him.

Still he's considered the number 1 boxer Pound for Pound.

Takamura would eat him

Yeah if only there was a prominent, recent example of a decades long series being cut short by the very thing people joked about.


I think it's warranted when a series started in 1989 is alleged to only be halfway done, and the story JUST released a chapter when the former boxer has to be reminded that he was, in fact, a boxer, and also there's a break before the next chapter.


A lot of the jokes are probably more due to the incredulous idea of the series being only halfway done but also some frustration at this retirement arc. It's not that it's bad, it has been entertaining. But good lord, it's 34 years of a series and where the hell are we?
