I don’t really think it’s anything interesting other than a cop out to give him other moves and explain that he just does them naturally since apparently wild monkeys smash and flicker jab each other on a regular basis between eating bananas and tree jumping.
This fight is going to end with Woli lobbing feces at Ippo and getting disqualified. Just like the monkeys he has always trained with.
That or Woli’s tail will be exposed, he’ll see the moon, and turn into an ape.
I bet if Mashiba were fighting Woli and he pulled off the imitation hitman, Mashiba would go bat shit crazy. He would end up throwing elbows and knees and foot stomps.
But Ippo needs to end this shit already. I’m sick of Woli and his stupid ass grin.
Woli is a gangsta.
I agree, I hope he just puts him in the corner and beats him to a pulp in the next chapter.
lol woli’s tapped into the boxing counciousness of the world.
The only problem I see with this fight is Woli seems to be the positive side to Miyata’s emo speed style. I bet you at the end of the fight, he will still be smiling plus his demeanor just makes it seem like Woli doesn’t know how to take a fight seriously.
The only thing that’s gonna happen in the corner is that Ippo’s gonna get rocked. Vorg already told him that Woli’s a beast in the corner, so don’t get your hopes up of Ippo fucking his shit up come next chapter. I just hope this shit doesn’t drag out like the Randy Boy Jr. fight.
woli feels like a total cop out. he’s just not interesting, nor do i like his backstory. so far, it’s that he’s played with monkeys all his life, thus the strongest boxer ever. they give him speed, cool, expected, but to randomly throw out moves he hasn’t even seen before? outside that they forcefully overpowered him, he just doesn’t sit right with me. he looks like cannon fodder, smells like cannon fodder, but he’s a world champ. go figure.
It’s the annoying thing when it comes to some of the champs built outside of Japan. They’re all “natural talent” beasts which annoys me. Ricardo Martinez is probably the only foreign fighter I like since he’s extremely basic. Motionless Jabs are fake, okay, but he didn’t go using his magical powers to shut down people, he used hard work and good basics to do so.
Out of the japanese fighters, I feel like Sendo and Takamura are the most exciting fighters. They have their own style and their attacks suit them. Takamura is like Woli except he’s got the experience to back up his knowledge of certain movesets not to mention even Takamura can’t go throwing flicker jabs like most fighters without high amounts of practice.
Maybe it’s just that I realize that every fast fighter seems to use the Flicker now is a bit annoying. It was cool when Mashiba had it, then Saeki got it, now we know Miyata can do it as well as others and you know, it makes no sense to me anymore. I think Mashiba should be the only Flicker user since even in real boxing, nobody uses the god damn Flicker anymore so why is it such a staple in japanese boxing for fast outboxers? Woli has quickly become the most annoying fighter that people don’t want to return for another fight. Ippo doesn’t need more rivals, he’s got Sendo, Vorg and Miyata.
it’s very annoying that woli has all these tools on him
annoying because ippo knows how to handle each of these punches inside and out when they’re used by their respective users, meaning woli is in for a universe of hurt in a chapter or 2.
or something fucking crazy is coming out of woli’s ass (did somebody say feces throwing earlier?) and going to screw ippo up for 3 rounds, increasing the amount of chapters by 10
I think we are supposed to know that Woli is going to lose from the get-go. Ippo is known to push himself physically and mentally, enabling both him and his opponents to reach a higher level. It’s Ippo’s experience and hardwork that usually allows him to win .
Woli winning would be like talent > hardwork, which in anime, never really happens. If anything, it’s one’s talent at working hard that prevails :china:
And even if Ippo does lose, does Morikawa really want to do another Hajime no Emo?
Get hype! Next chapter = Woli’s hidden trick. I wanna see what the corner trick Volg spoke of is…
ippo’s a moron, he gets confused too fucking fast over everything. look at the gedo fight, nigga was loosening up his gloves for a bit of added reach and ippo got all flustered.
woli will pull off some retarded shit and ippo will go back to being confused until he remembers that all he has to do is stick to his training and hit the fucking prick.
fuck this manga, only reason i keep reading is cuz its free and ive put a lot of time into it
He hasn’t really gotten confused at all in this fight and if you know anything about fights, it’s easy to get flustered if you get hit once by something you’re not prepared for. It can go all down hill from there.
I’m right after the Speed Star guy. That episode upset me because he tools Ippo the whole time and knows so much about rhythm but can’t tell his was too predictable? WTF?
ippo wont lose…i dont wanna hear that fucking talk. he wont lose to some no name sharigan scrub whos tapped into the world’s boxing consciousness.
Dammit. Nothing happened.
Yup, nothing. What a funny chapter, round ends and then we get the exact same situation as the last chapter in the end.
call mr. kool aid, ippo needs a punch. you can tell he’s not gonna get one next chapter either, with all this stupid “…” dialogue going on. woli is going to do some retarded monkey barrage and fuck ippo’s shit up.
