looking at the stitches from his hand i am guessing he had an injury that prevented him from more success. kojima is up to something but i am feeling this will be like the karasawa fight. from time to time ippo has a sound display after he struggled.
He got into a Slugfest with Woli, his fight with the magician turned into a slugfest, Iām pretty sure his fight with Jimmy was also a slugfest.
Those stitches might mean something like he doesnāt actually feel anything on that hand. . .which is why heās punching so hard.
You are right though. . .Ippo does have a nice display of skill from time to time but I donāt think this will be the one. This def wonāt be an in between fight. . .he will either dominate in 2-3 rounds or it will be a hard fought fight for either fighter. . . .
the stitches are on his right hand but he hit the arcade machine with his left. i think it means more something like he was a former orthodox boxer who had to switch.
Didnāt Sendo fight that Southpaw and completely wrecked him after he talked smack about his style and about Ippo? I think itās time for Ippo to get a movement power up, too bad every time they aim for this Ippo ends up losing a lot of punching power.
yeah, that was shigeta. although he was actually right handed and voluntarily trained himself to become a southpaw.
Ippo is going to rape that guy.
i predict the weakness to be his emotions. Heās saying all this shit to get under his skin and make him fuck up.
Yusuke Odaā¦what the hell manā¦
:lol: @ above page!
It seems this match is going to turn into Punch Out, if Kojima can truly read Makunouchiās attacks. I wonder if we can figure it out by re-reading the previous matches?
lol@ taka talking epic shit.
This fight better not suck.
Even if it does, it seems that once Ippo wins heāll have enough character development to actually progress towards the world title belt.
Iām expecting him to power up significantly during this fight. Especially because, it wouldnāt make sense for Morikawa to make Ippo lose this fight after a setup like this.
āThatās bullshit! You even went to the trouble of going upwind!ā :lol:
