the parry into counter was so sick.
when ippo gets back, just have him destroy random sacrificial SEA boxers for about 300 chapters to ride the hype

if they're gonna drag Coach Ippo for this long, at least give him a real student to mold instead of the 2-3 kunckleheads that barely have any lines and bring one to Japanese Champion, it would actually match the trill of early ippo matches since it be going back to that kind of energy.

I think Takamura would have done as good with any coach, he's just so OP in every aspect naturally. He spends most of his weight control and training on his own and pilgrimages for 90% of his screentime when its not dick joke time

Next chapter: Ippo becomes a southpaw

would not be surprised at all if they call upon Ippo as the closest thing they could find as a sparring partner, and to 'help out as best as he can', he just starts sparring south paw, and it's another bag of tricks Retired Ippo managed to train up from his coaching exp. and actually able to push Mashiba with it.

The chapter was pretty neat. Especially with the bit where Mashiba actually didn't wanna fight THAT dirty against Miyata, but he got pushed hard enough and 'that guy' took over. And the shadow of that guy getting punched up by Ippo lol.

agreed, I can get why Ippo isn't coaching him, because his style is totally different from Itagakis, but remember that he was the one Ippo passed the baton to? I guess that part was forgotten.

i think both Volg and Sendo were unhappy about the biased decision and wish it ended in KO, even if they were the one that would have hit the mat.

Do you think the gym is paying Ippo to coach? They never bring up money much, but I can see Ippo just going there coaching and helping for free..or if he actually pays the regular gym membership fees after he retired. I assume after he went pro, the gym sponsors him + gets a cut of earnings.

for the anime, one of the little details that I notice that I think alot of people don't see.

I think early on, one of his teachers or guidance counelser? comes to watch a match, and they show him in the crowd.

After that, they constantly have him in the crowd in a bunch of ippo's future matches along with the generic mobs.

hoping ippo tops volg's moment when he started throwing out counterpunchs and volgs is like 'wtf ippo doesn't do this kind of stuff'

have ippo throw a white fang at mashiba or something

it just means he's gonna keep writing it till he dies pretty much. Doesn't sound like he has plans to do anything else.

So I guess after he helps Mashiba. He's gonna help Sendo as his sparring partner.

then finally Miyata.

It was Aoki, he tried to put it on his dick.
its 16lbs, monstrous lol. That's like a decent sized barbell. and 4x of them? That's over 50% of ippo's standard body weight rofl.
and I checked last chapter, he was doing all his southpaw training at the river bank with the weights still on..

Ippo's first return match.
Everyone expects the old style.

He wins by fighting like an outboxer and with a counter

everyone: he never fought like this!
