It has been hilarious to me to see how George Morikawa has to resort to this whole luck shtick to force Takamura into the underdog position when he clearly doesn't deserve to be in it "oooh my superhuman invincible character could actually lose this time, look how unlucky he is, and look how lucky this american he's fighting against is, maybe he'll lose this time guys :O, please get excited!".
Hey Morikawa, in the over two decades you've been making this manga you have never portrayed Takamura losing a single official match, the man has been raking belts left and right while moving through weight classes, quit trying to get people hyped on the prospect of him possibly losing, ever since the Hawk fight (or arguably the Eagly fight) the attractive has only been how Takamura will demolish his next victim. Ironicaly these luck shenanigans he has been pulling are so menial that they only have me more convinced he is gonna win again this time, there's no way he'll lose in a match whose prelude has only been the gym members clowning around with luck and shit.
