the more i learn about ippo the more i realise how miss managed his career has been and how incompotent his coach is. He just cut from his natural walking around weight which is around 125 all the way to 110. In boxing terms is around 4 weight classes. Ippo easily could have started his career a...
this chapter has just given me another reason why komgawa is a bad coach. Ippos natural weight is somewheree around 125 just training if he had cut weight even slightly he could fight at 122 and who knows he would have been so much more succesfull there.
The only way i see him making a comeback is if he literally strips down and relearns boxing. Not even including his mindset his boxing ability is actually terrible, he doesn't cut of the ring hes not able to throw any type of counters because "hes not talented" enough, whatever that means, his...
Its taken 1263 chapters for my main gripe with ippo to be addressed, morikawa cannot write a boxing story to save his life man. Basic boxing he doesn't use a jab and he has the weakest mindset when in the ring. If something doesn't go his way he literally crumbles like a cookie he just dives in...
Thats not how boxing works. The ref is there to enforce the rules and protect the fighters iga is clearly fouling on more than 1 occasion, there should be some repercussions like a point deduction or straight up dq for blatant fouls like elbows and headbuts. Its not about picking sides hes...
its fine feeling some guilt after realising what hes done, but its unrealistic him completely forgetting what lead to that point. He taught the supposed reformed delinquent how to box which is very dangerous and the kid abused it, the kid coulda killed someone so ippo has a right to feel angry...
moirkawas writing choices are so questionable. His ippo/miyata fixation was already weird and now miyata who was a boxer before he met ippo and had his own dreams and aspirations doesn't have the desire to be a world champ anymore? This doesn't make any sense he was the one that initially off...
Morikawa is terrible at conveying a compelling boxing story. He tries to be realistic with things like punch drunk and how deep the world stage is in talent only for takamura to 1 shot no 1 title contender. This guy doesn't even train consistently. What type of waste have i read for the last...
its not even so much about physically, my main gripe with ippo since the beginning of the series is he doesn't have the makings of a boxer. His mindset is too weak, not just him acting nice he doesn't believe in himself he goes into fights with this glass half full attitude and God forbid he...
the author really struggles with writing a believable fight, the amount of times they have such a silly back and forth landing such crazy shots and then a fighter gets emotional and overcomes the odds. It takes away from the magic
its about time this guys half assed motivation is being addressed. For the longest it was miyata even though he surpassed him at one point. After that he was just going with the flow
