I am really loving this fight so far.

Bison is the real deal. This feel like a top notch fight.

Total War: Takamura lol.

Cool, never seen a flicker counter before. Is Takamura gonna swipe that too?

Aoki and Kimura done fucked up.

Takamura gonna have to find a hard counter soon or he’s gonna be out.

I feel that was the answer Takamura was looking for.

He had to take a good shot to get it, but he got it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the next round was Takamura struggling to find the right timing to apply Bison’s counter.

Yup…Takumura, the real main character, is going to steal that flicker counter.

Takamura is way to OP in this manga.

I actually liked the bit where they talk about ā€œspecial moves.ā€ Of course anyone could do it, it’s just that some people have made it their own. You don’t have to be a super talented jumping Indonesian boxer to steal special moves just by looking, no!

[details=Spoiler]
Sorry, I think I’m scarred for life.[/details]

imagine if sendo was his protege’…the fuckin anarchy of the manga. fuck ippo.

Takamura’s a Blue Mage.

Rock out here forgetting Ippo already has dat Parkinsons…

rock with the one post a year minimum.

Takamura is shonen manga encapsulated. He’s just ridiculous.

So I guess Takamura is gonna piss Bison off so bad that Bison forgets how to box and just gets bodied?

ok question,I know this manga has been around for over 2 decades and i hear good things about it.but i have to ask is there any point that the story kinda gets dull?1100+ chapters seems like alot to write while maintaining consistent good story telling

People dislike Ippo vs. Woli, and Ippo vs. Malcom. There’s also Miyata vs. Randy Boy, which I liked except the end was BS. Anything I missed?

The whole OPBF arc is really the only bad spot of the entire manga.

interesting.thanks gonna look out for those while i read

I was wondering, who do you guys think is the best trainer in HnI?

I mean yeah you have Kamogawa and Nekota, but I started thinking about boxer growth under certain trainers. Granted we mainly see Kamogawa, we do get a glimpse at other trainers in the series, and I was curious what you guys would rank the trainers.
