I expected Takamura to win, but I didn't think it would be THAT one-sided.

Takamura demolished him with two punches, and Ricardo will be capable of doing that too. Woli/Hawk aside, Sendo is the one who got the furthest on talent alone, and him beating Ricardo would be just as bad as Woli beating Ricardo. He was never shown as being a boxer with good technique, and never improved. He's still just winging it on power/instincts, and every good boxer that fought him properly/didn't get overwhelmed mowed him down, with his win against Volg being a sham decision, and the one against Alfredo being pretty bad too.

Yea makes sense. Takamura's crazy when not on weight control. Miyata will be a much better sparring partner since his style matches Ricardo way more.

Sendo focus to grew his physicality than technique.
He train get his punch stronger, train his leg to move faster, and so on. He tried to compensate the lack of technique on pure instinct.
but it seems that kind of focus have started to reach its limit. Especially, compared to Takamura who have more balanced physicality and technique training (and still have good instinct too).

and agreed that more tech focused miata will be better training buddy, but he need that rude awakening from Takamura first.

Every single boxer in this manga trained to be faster/stronger etc, some more than others, some better than others. Alfredo was basically Sendo but after losing to Ricardo he decided to improve his techniques and became a complete world class boxer and was pummeling Sendo for a few chapters. But Sendo had the power of plot armor and infinite attack so he still won in the end. Sendo never tried to become a better boxer, always pulling off the tiger instinct nonsense, even now that he's facing the world champion.

That's why people hate Woli, Itagaki, and they should dislike Sendo as well. they're cheat characters that go against the original message of the manga. Basically what they show is that effort only pays off if you're talented, and you'll lose horribly to someone that's coasting on talent if you're not talented yourself no matter your effort. This manga was about a kid (Ippo) who with great effort and determination became a great boxer despite not being very talented. Any result other than Sendo being completely demolished vs Ricardo would be a travesty.

isn't Takamura the best boxer in all this series though, with all those world championships

Yes, yes he is. Don't know about real boxers (irl I mean), but it's starting to look outside of the realm of plausibility.
