Nah, this ain't Rocky IV. He'll nab the belt, which will relax him towards Ippo... til he responds with a "You must at least on my level as World Champion if you want to date Kumi!"I just had a horrid thought... Are they going to horribly injure, kill, or put Mashiba in a coma to give Ippo enough of a reason to return to boxing? Oh god please no.
I don't think that will happen because Mashiba is a Lightweight and Ippo is a Featherweight. Ippo is in his natural weight class and him getting back in the ring to get revenge would be very out of character.I have a feeling that Mashiba is going to get absolutely destroyed by either fouls or lucky punches that frustrates Ippo enough to make him grab his gloves again.
