IPPO BTFO!!!

Downed by Gayvara!

he just sleepy

concussed once more

it's not like he still has a lot of neurons remaining, though

This shit is worse than Conan. How many times has Ippo been through the exact same scenario? How do people still read this shit?

Can this fucking fight end already jesus fucking christ.

Let him lose, Morikawa. Make Ippo a loser, have him quit boxing, and just make Takamura be the main character.

God damn it not again
>inb4 more Broken Ippo shenanigans

WOOOOOOOOW

>How do people still read this shit?


I read it for Vorg

Is there still oxygen in hippos muscles?
You can't get off this ride.

jesus christ ippo is a scrub what is going on

>1000+ chapters
>still gets BTFO in every match he's in
>still a spineless faggot
>still doesn't make any moves on kumi when it's extremely obvious to both them and everyone around them that they like each other
What a garbage protagonist.

muh southpaw

>still doesn't make any moves on kumi when it's extremely obvious to both them and everyone around them that they like each other
Stopped following this a long time ago, she's still in play? By this point i'm sure she'd already be in a bus

Yamato Dagashi !!!!

Shitpo

Isn't Ippo like 30 now? Just marry Kumi and take on the family business.

Friendly reminder that Morikawa will retire from life faster than Ippo will retire from boxing.

he is 24

Yeah, she is.

No fucking way. The match is supposed to be OVER. He announced a comeback KO. If it is after he wins I'm ok, otherwise, well, it sucks. Nothing new though.

excellent suggestion.

>implying this won't be Ippo's final match
Morikawa already announced his retirement right when Ippo decided to quit boxing for good once he loses once more. It's the most convenient excuse to end a long running series without shocking your readers so much.

His poor health accompanied by old age could've been the factor for this decision.

This shit is unbearable now. Even watching Mayweather fights is more fun than reading current Ippo.

Takamura is my god

how can Ippo being jobbing this much?

He even forgot how Southpaws fight and had Ippo relearn, or more likely Morikawa forgot after 1000+ chapters

>strategy revolves around getting punched a lot and punching hard
>why isn't ippo fighting smarter

This is literally all of Kumagawa's fault. Ippo is someone who can only do what he is told. Everyone in the gym knew that. Kumagawa not only ruined Ippo's future at boxing but his life all because he is a shitty coach.


Kumagawa literally masturbates to the idea of a Dual Exchange

For fuck's sake

>strategy revolves around getting punched 10 times to land one punch

>"omg Coach is a genius!"

guess the manga ended now

yamato damashi, son

Coach shows why he has two world rankers in his gym early on. To beat a counter puncher you run into the punches

You can't be a boxer without getting a little CTE Ippo. Take the first step and get punched in the face. Stop being a pussy.

>Training montage
>Super 4th dimensional Dempsey Roll
>Everyone agrees the opponent is just cannon fodder
>Match keeps going for several chapters
>Guy keeps getting back up
I will laugh myself silly if Ippo loses after all this build up because the other guy pulled an Ippo.

what the fuck?
that coach is senile

All you have to do is get hit a few hundred times. We will learn his style.

Can't wait for the manga to get cancelled and have the last chapter be another out of hand match between Ippo and Send where both die this time and then Miyata rushes in for some never specified reason.

Then Miyata decides that he's out of reasons to keep on living and slams his glass jaw against the puddle of cum and blood that's covering the mat, dying on the process as well.

That's right ippo do what the coach taught you

Dodging shots is for pussies. Only real men get hit in the face over and over

...

If the Kid can talk about taking punches then concussions be damned send him out there again

stop

It'll be 4 years since Rising next year, new anime? might be done by mappa only, madhouse will bow out.

...

Man this fucking Willy/Wolly/Walli fight gives me anxiety, it was so fucking shit.

...

...

No, it should end with Shitamura hooking up with the Judo Doctor and becoming an item.

Then Martinez steals his girl and kills him with 2 jabs.

fucking ippo boxing for who knows how many years and still can dodge for shit

...

...

...

OTP

Don't worry woli has been written out of the story for being too strong

...

Before alfredo gonzales Ippo never got knocked out in 10 straight fights so it is now weird to see him like that

That is categorically false and absolutely retarded and goes against the laws of physics. The maximum amount of force is exerted in the short jab and the longer the jab takes to connect, the less kinetic force which means less damage. Running into a jab is like running into a car, it's suicide.

he never got knocked out but he was always on the cusp of being killed.

Any other coach would have thrown in the towel dozens of times in the ippo fight. It also helps the ref is corrupt as shit and doesn't stop Ippo fights.

That's what makes it all the more hilarious. I swear the coach was trying to get ippo to kill himself and fucked around into becoming a champion.

What the fuck is going on? Where is Morikawa going with Ippo having any trouble with this fodder bum?

still he always endure it, alfredo's fight was too much for him and i'm getting so mad at Morikawa stalling the manga so much even though he barely works on it

What was your reaction when you first saw this, Sup Forums?

Can we agree that the manga will never end? i can't even see it close to ending, even i can see the ending of One piece getting closer but with this kind of shit that Morikawa does, it looks like it is getting longer

About fucking time. Ippo had no business fighting Alfredo.

might be making a statement about how boxing is great and all but if you're careless it will destroy you and rob you of your future. Your health is more important, whereas to Ippo he would rather die than give up.

It becomes a cautionary tale if he does that, but I don't see it going there.

Granted, Sendo is best character anyway next to young Kamogawa. Martinez is up there too what little we see of him.

>never end
Morikawa will die eventually,

glad that he actually lost the fight but so mad with the next chapters of the brain damage shit

but it is bullshit that after more than 1000 chapters you can't even see it close to ending, wtf is wrong with him? is he going to start some Gero-michi's story next?

I keep hoping something happens to Kamogawa. Like someone calls him out on his bullshit methods. Even worse is that he had Ippo apologize to him for losing.

I have never been so angry at fiction in my life.

Perhaps Morikawa will have Ippo lose here and end the manga because his health issues.

That's what's known in boxing parlance as the fuck you nah fuck you nah fuck you strategem.

and that would be remembered at the worst ending, better don't end it at all

Does he still have oxygen in his muscles? He can still make.

Why do you hate Kamo so much?

Their mistake was challenging the number 2 so soon and not changing ippo's flaw of taking too many hits

Has headband not seen Ippo's dick yet? Don't they shower together all the time?

He's just the worst boxing coach I've ever seen in fiction
>Yes Ippo, let the other guy punch you repeatedly in the face, thats part of the plan. Fuck blocking or dodging attacks.

years ago Ippo used to be my favorite manga for reasons I can't remember. My biggest problem with the manga was how obvious Kamogawa's method for boxing shitty yet no one seemed to call him out on it both in the manga and in any discussion forum like dynamite glove.

Fight after fight Kamogawa's strategy has been to send the kuzo out into the ring and have him get beat up until he can land a comeback k.o. This is well after he almost died against Date and sendou. No teaching him to dodge, bob, or weave. No having him feint better or anything. All of his strategies revolved around Ippo getting punched in the face. Even worse is that everyone around the coach makes it seem like he is a good coach and Ippo's own internal dialogue is that he feels he is letting the coach down by not being a better fighter.

The coach had Ippo for years and wasted his talents and his life all for a measly title in Japan.

This page basically sums up why Kamogawa's such a bad coach.

How is this nigga not dead yet?

Eh, he'll be alright

but he actually helped ippo with dodging, remember that training with that long bending stick?

>years ago Ippo used to be my favorite manga for reasons I can't remember

When did the magic fade for you?

that was training to get in close to the gedo.

The fight in which is strategy was to have ippo get jabbed in the face for 8 rounds

Thats one thing that majorly pissed me off.
>Give Ippo a rival from day one
>He goes to another gym, setting up a big match between him and Ippo down the line
>Big match eventually comes
>Nope, gotta drop out so I can fight someone introduced this arc
>Lol, now I'm too heavy to fight Ippo

I mean yes, even in universe everyone was pissed, but did the author really need to do that? Why even give Ippo a rival if you never have the fucking fight?

I think that was around the time when he was just introduced, he must have seen it now, probably grabbed it too, and sucked on it. He wouldn't let his sister be ahead of him and she already grabbed it.

I think it was when we got cockblocked with the Randy Boy Jr. fight.

Instead of Miyata vs Ippo we had some fighter who was only briefly touched upon as son of the fighter that ended his father's career. There was no buildup. No hints that the fighter was an option. It felt like an editor had rushed in and told Morikawa not to draw the Ippo vs Miyata fight and to keep the manga going for another 400 chapters.

Oh don't worry I'm sure Miyata will keep fighting at featherweight, complete with the 20+ chapters of tragic antisocial, weight control melodrama.

Fuck Miyata. I mean what kind of asshole do you have to be to get to the point where your fucking gym mates feel honored that you spoke to them? What the FUCK.

I swear this guy meant to reply to this post and is somehow from the future.

This was exactly it

I like how everyone sucked Miyata's dick and he hadn't even gotten his pro license yet let alone any titles or fame. It was crazy

MOST POWERFUL RACE

>I like how everyone sucked Miyata's dick and he hadn't even gotten his pro license yet let alone any titles or fame. It was crazy

I have never despised a character more than Miyata. Oh the tragic prince. Oh my counters. Oh my poor bone structure. Fuck off.

you are wrong the stick training was for Alfredo since his left was the combination of all the left punches Ippo have fought and training to get close it's a training to dodge and actually good since ippo can't outbox

>Randy Boy Jr

That fight was fucking bullshit, Miyata should've lost that fight

...

Itagaki

...

Has anyone actually counted how many times Ippo has been punched in the face? Every single fight his head gets used as a boxing bag by his opponent. He should be dead by now

Itagaki was bad. But at least he's been put in his place. But Miyata? every scene he shows up its either with that bullshit attitude, or we are bombarded with how tragic a character he is.

you are right. They brought in Mashiba for training for Gedo

I just started getting tired when the fights really started getting long and going full anime
And by full anime I mean
>One fighter is on the ropes
>SECRET MOVE HE HAD BEEN HOLDING OUT ON
>Other fighter is on the ropes
>SECOND WIND
>Repeat ad nauseum forever until the author decides to end the fight.
I basically reached the point I cared more about what was between the fights than in them.

The two specific fights that really killed the manga for me were Ippo vs Hisato
>Lets have Ippo and his opponent stare at each other for like 4 chapters, then run at each other for 3 chapters, then have Ippo just oneshot his opponent.
And Itagaki vs Saeki
> Lets have Itagaki get the shit beaten out of him for the entire fight, making it seem like his huebris is biting him in the ass. But oh wait! Lets have him get a sudden second wind out of fuckin nowhere and go full fucking dio for no real reason and crush his opponent.

It was fucking dumb
