:boomer: "That's some pathetic boxing! Not a shred of pride"

Yeah it's called the "I don't want fucking brain damage from a single hit from this chick who weighs 80 pounds more then me" strategy.

i imagine shit talking like that is common esp in womens sports

this is turning very interesting. it's a bit like One Punch Man where as soon as the MC gets to do something it's the end of the story. in this case the main character is so strong that you inevitably end up rooting for her opponent too. that's fun

I think it's more of a manga trope thing cuz of boxing CTE posterboys Ippo and Ashita no Joe. Yamato Damashi and tanking all the hits and being a REAL MAN™ and shit. No boxing trainer is going to actually say "Oh she's not taking haymakers to the face she's a bad boxer"

Plot twist:
The punch lands and breaks her neck. Her old timer coach has a heart attack and dies. She wakes up a week later paralyzed from the neck down. Our MC can't take the guilt and quits boxing to support Ishimatsu, the new MC.

And I guess, she's already "made a name for herself" versus Okome so it'd be like "2x grand champion dodging and seeming afraid of a newbie" type vibes.
