I think the entire training course is to make Ippo more flexible in his boxing approach, Making him a touch more all rounder as he learn and teach other boxing style.
I want to see who is the poor souls going to be Ippo comeback opponent as Ippo going to dominate that fight so badly.
Fuck, that broken statue gag is always funny af lol. Also, Morikawa-sensei, stop with the "will he won't he" with the comeback arc. I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!
