Jedah posted:A great Online Ippo manga viewer: As much as I see the spoilers for Naruto (maybe not a good example) and the One Piece spoiler (a good example) I can at least resist not looking at them. This one is gonna be hard, merely because I need to know how this fight ends (Miyata better lose, but he wont).

Xali posted:takamura will punch the no-name boxer through the floor on top of sakaguchi, breaking the toilet and covering sakaguchi in poo poo. This is great cause I can totally see this happening. There's almost no other reason to showing Sakaguchi during the chapter other than "Hey let's poo poo all over this guy before he never comes back again".

I think the main thing is we just haven't gotten to watch Ippo fight, in what, 200 chapters? I can't even remember who he last fought? Was it that magician guy, that retarded fight? The only way this last Miyata fight would've been cool is he had lost, and that would've only set up Ippo to loving obliterate Randy.

Serious Frolicking posted:Martinez would still beat them, because Ippo would be unable to stop staring at Miyata adoringly and Miyata would get weirded out and get off his game. Actually that would be great, a modification on his strategy "people get uncomfortable when you stare at them" (wow that was a really long time ago). Only Ippo would have to be a making it literally the only time he drops his peek-a-boo to adoringly stare at Miyata's well developed boxing skills.

I'm starting to think the referee isn't even in the ring, he's probably outside having a smoke. How many times has Woli grabbed onto the ropes? I was always under the impression that was against the rules (or at the very least a ref would probably tell him to knock it the gently caress off). I used to enjoy reading this manga so much, though I'm sure everyone including me knew EXACTLY what was going to happen in this chapter. I almost didn't read it, it's like reading the bible and acting surprised at the ending.

Indiana_Krom posted:Then the manga can switch genres from boxing to baseball, and Miyata gets to be the ball. Well Ippo would be more than happy to be the catcher. Since we're discussing the only thing that can redeem this fight, I have a simple one. The fight ends in either this coming chapter or the one after that. I don't really care either way who wins or how at this point, as long as it ends so we don't have to see this annoying fucker anymore (Woli).

Infinitum posted:Epilogue: That was all a dream because he is brain damaged and has to be taken care of by his mother. But he's also developed dementia and keeps thinking his mom is Miyata. The dementia makes him think that he's fighting Miyata for the first time again in the gym and keeps beating the poo poo out of his mom. I don't think I've ever ended up disliking a main character as much as I dislike Ippo right now. Even more surprising is that the same things that made me like his character in the beginning is what makes me hate him so much now. I want him to lose this fight so badly, I know he won't but I really do (and he needs to lose again cause he needs a reason to give up his Japanese belt and stop loving around at the national level and move on to the world for real).

This fight won't end with Ippo punching Woli. We'll probably get like 20 more chapters and Ippo will notice Miyata in the crowd, being simultaneously ashamed for getting his rear end kicked and seeing his lover in the crowd Ippo will get a raging erection that will instantly impale Woli who got too close thinking Ippo was hiding bananas in his pants.

I've got this covered, I know where this is going to go. Since Woli spends all his time as a monkey he can jump around and swing in the trees with his hands. His arms are long and thin like a monkey, but since his endurance training involved basically nothing (swinging in trees his whole life only eating bananas), compared to Ippo who's endurance training is more traditional running so Ippo's legs have kept him alive by absorbing all the light hits from Woli. Since Woli has only had three fights, even if they were all 12 round fights each and went to decision he would not have nearly the fight conditioning that Ippo has right now (something like 20 or so total fights with only one short break after the only loss). Now Woli's wild instincts are going to tell him to run because the opponent isn't showing submission, and that's slowing down his reactions (ala Ghost Ippo). Thus hard work and Japanese spirit > a monkee.

Gedo > Woli fight I would tend to say. I could at least suspend belief long enough that the referee didn't notice that Gedo's gloves were loose (against the rules, sometimes you'll see a fighter loosening his gloves to catch a breather for a couple seconds). That and I can see how getting hit when you know you dodged it would really mess up a boxers rhythm. Woli jumping off the corner posts and bouncing off the ropes ala: WWE professional wrestling, no ref would let that poo poo keep going on. That's just my two cents.

Zahrkon posted:Honestly at this point im hoping Ippo just punches Woli hard enough that he turns into paste. Hate this fight so much. Woli is gonna fall over before we get to see him get smacked in the face. We all want Ippo to get all Dempsey Roll on Woli's face for about 3 minutes straight, but I'm willing to bet that we'll be lucky to get even one big hit in his smug loving face. I think Woli could almost rival Aizen in smug-face.

Every time they show either Ippo or Woli's heart it looks like Morikawa is trying to draw a scrotum.

frabba posted:I just got 2 onion rings from burger king that fused into a perfect infinity symbol, and I thought of Ippo, so now I'm watching Ippo vs. Sendo 2 Not to mention endorsement deals and such, then you consider that he's a world champion in weight classes that you never see Japanese boxers populating. Considering his marketability he'd be rich as hell (though maybe he's just really really cheap).

Infinitum posted:I've just read all of Hajime no Ippo over the last few weeks starting all the way from chapter 1 up to Woli. The Woli fight just ended up being who had the bigger bunch of plantains. At least the other fights were against people with tons of experience and we're geniuses, and to top it off we only got to see Ippo hit him maybe 3 times? Someone refresh my memory, the first hit hardly even counts, then there were what 2 punches to Woli's liver?

Incredulous Dylan posted:Just caught up to 902. I accidentally moused over a spoiler on this page around chapter 600 and my peripheral vision for some reason read "ippo is going to have to start all over now" and i basically read 300 chapters "knowing" that everything ippo was working for would be reset somehow around chapter 900. you can imagine what that woli fight was like for me You had it good then cause we all knew he was going to win, and was loving pissed that he did.
