Hajime no Ippo

So if Aizawa becomes the new love interest, and Kumi gets pushed out of the picture, think Mashiba will immediately abandon all of his future prospects, drop two weight classes, and try and bury Ippo's career in the ring, both metaphorically and literally?

Mangastream is shutting their doors forever.

I'd be more upset if Ippo wasn't the only manga I got from them. At least we still have Benchbloch.

I want Miyata to go up a weight class or two so Mashiba can stomp him again

Seeing Kimura literally pass out, it's a miracle Miyata hasn't dropped into a coma.

And Takamura thinking his weight control isn't anything special. Normal people, which he is not, literally die from the kind of weight control he went through. Rikishi is a famous example, in Ashita No Joe.

At least the arcs aren't taking 500 chapters now.

Bets on Ippomura crashing and burning, much to Takamura's delight and taunting?

Ippo pushed into a "no contact" spar with Sendou a day before him match with Alfredo.

This should go about as well as putting Sendou in the same dressing room with Mashiba.

Ippo the main attraction of Sendou meet-up?

Very hype when the current champ Richardo greeted Ippo.

I like how Ricardo admitted Sendou has more then enough power to crush just about anyone at the bell.

This probably would have been over already if he wasn't merely "extending an invitation".

It seems that Sendo will beat Gonzales way sooner than I thought. 3rd or 4rd round.

Honestly, I didn't liked how he easily beated Alfredo's technique, it wasn't supposed to be that weak. But anyway...

I'm curious about how Ricardo will handle him. He said the best way to fight Sendo is starting with everything you got since the beginning to avoid dangerous situations (kinda what Volg did), I guess he will not even try to use technique against Sendo. We're about to see a Ricardo Martinez never showed before.

Sendo role is to give clues to Ippo next returning match against Ricardo. Going by the story, Gonzales probably hasn't gain any stronger since his last fight with Ippo. While, Sendo watched their fight and gotten stronger off of it.

Sendo vs Ricardo is going to be amazing, regardless of the obvious winner of the two.

Looks like it's over.

Yup, I'm glad the author didn't drag out with another chapter.

Sendo busted up bad, he needs lot of time for recovery, if he wants to challenge the #1 fighter. What going through Ippo mind? Sendo who he bested twice in the past, is now a step ahead of him. Ippo comeback is going take Sendo down a third time. lol

And knowing Sendou, he'd dangle his title shot at Ippo just to fight him one more time.

Did not see that coming.

I feel bad for Gonzales. The dream is over.

So I liked it. Short and to the point compared to past epics.

Sendou boxed like you'd expect, taking a beating to "learn his hits", tanking like a champ, and going through his guard like it wasn't even there.

He'd end Vorg easy imo. Vorg is the better boxer, the problem is he has no real way of dropping Sendou, while he has no real way of stopping Sendou from dropping him.

I mean, look at Mike. So many blocks, against punches nowhere near Sendous normal hits, let alone a Smash.

Takamura super middle arc meeting expectations.

Takamura is being one sidedly dominated. Dominated. Takamura!

Keith Dragon is like a black hole of bad luck. The Bad Luck Schleprock of the Ippo-verse. But he's also genuinely good.

He also has a terrifying back story, where

Spoiler:
his father shot himself in the head, and his mother hung herself soon after. And Keith promised to join them after spending his last coin, but just kept winning money in gambling, and at everything else in life from that point on. Almost like god was telling him he hae divine protection from this point forward.

It was a good build up with an interesting character. Vintage Mori from his peak.
