Wow looks like Ruby going to win this one

This is what you get for taking boxing advice from someone who only throws uppercuts

I hope Ruby wins and they don't pull some last minute nonsense. Soo-Ji isn't listening to her couch and isn't fighting smart.

Hopefully Bo-Sang's ranting will serve as the breaking point for Soo-Ji to find better friends.

I just got introduced to this manga, having read the previous volume (7) and I am convinced that Ruby's "dentist" visit for "crowns" and etc. has nothing to do with "weightloss" and, like the giant Korean, was done out of pure vanity to have bright, straight, clean teeth for her announcement that she's moving up to "lightweight" after defending this title match. It's all been played at and hinted so much, it HAS to happen, imo. She's gonna take off her mouthguard after her win in the ring, smile as big as she can and everyone will be in huge awe... except the chairman who will be angry she did something so stupid like going to the dentist two days before a boxing match and her friends who will feel like they've been fooled (like all the readers) they've been empathizing and feeling extreme pity Ruby ripped out teeth just to meet weight regulations.
Why do I guess that? It fits perfectly with the "wrong reason/comical" writing pattern that been established, so far.

And it will be hysterical. I can't wait to see that.

Hopefully Bo-Sang's ranting will serve as the breaking point for Soo-Ji to find better friends.

Honestly, I think we can tell that she's acting like the bossy twat she is because of her own bullying she's been getting. But, even then, I think we can tell she cares about her "prodigy" friend and this behavior is probably a mix of her own narcissism and some level of "keep her grounded" teasing to try and build up some self-confidence.
The giant, contrived, ugly-but-vain Amazon theme is quite funny and well-placed as an opponent for this story's protagonist... but with enough similarities that you can it's probably more real that's who she is, she is still enjoying the attention she gets from her reeling kayfabe persona for any audience (unlike the stage-fright, scared Okome).

that should have been a TKO already
