I think that (spoiler) is related to what Date-san pointed out watching his fight videos: Alf fights like Ricardo, but there’s a nasty streak that permeates his style.

If Ippo wins, it will be less him winning a fight that he shouldn’t, and more Alfredo losing a fight he should have won because he got too angry.
EDIT: I just checked; the RAW for 1036 is only 12 pages. Wow what a cliffhanger.
Actually, I take back what I said. According to this, the new manga lasted five chapters. So unless he’s still working on it, I don’t know the reason for the short chapters.
Aaaaannd I’m sure Ippo will plot armor up and shit all over it in the most ridiculous way imaginable. I wonder what it will be? The “iron fist”, “the perfect punch” or will we witness a whole new form of bullshit?
Just like with ch I036, I should have stopped reading at ch 1037 and waited for a chapter with a more substantial page count before reading ch 1038. neither 1036 or 1038 read like they end on a cliff hanger, rather they seem to end so abrupt you think they are missing a page. It’s kinda killing my hype…
thx for the warning king9999, wish I listened.
I’m jonesing for a Ippo game and don’t have a wii, anyone played that PS2 game “Victorious Boxers 2: Fighting Spirit” or is there a newer Ippo game in the works? I was feeling that fan made one but doubt it will ever get a release and I don’t think there is anything for the last gen consoles…
Oddly enough, I played that PS2 game before I even knew what Ippo was, haha. It just got a good review somewhere and looked like fun, so I gave it a rent. I remember it being pretty fun, but that was years ago.
