yeah this is nearly comical. dude is tri-jumping all over his ass. all the tension ippo’s built up is completely depleted. this guy better not be the one that breaks ippo.
This is now the Prince of Boxing. Woli’s style is so fake it’s not even funny. You can’t slide and attack someone that’s standing straight up, it makes no sense how that’d even hit. This fight is just ridiculously stupid, it’s some random fucked up universe where people can limbo under full motion uppercuts while dealing counters that do any sort of damage at all and not falling down while having what seems to be like unlimited amounts of stamina.
ok now this is getting really dumb.
If that crap is legal, then Ippo should bounce off the ropes and do a spinning Ippo lariat
dude it’s cool he swings with monkeys, everyone knows that as soon as you can do that you can do anything.
Skip the Lariat and skip straight to Ultimate Atomic Buster.
Yeah, this is getting messed up. Even I think this is dumb. We’ve had shotguns and heartbreak shots, but Woli’s moves are just ridiculous. How would that crap look when it’s animated?
this fight just keeps getting dumber. I seriously hope this shit ends fast.
You guys are killing me, I can’t even read this thread at work no more. I literally “lol.” 
You wanna know how it’d look? Watch Prince of Tennis when Echizen does his drive moves where he skids across the floor. That’s how stupid it’s going to look especially with Ippo’s face magnetically attracting itself to Woli’s fist. Just look at the 2 panels from when he DODGES UNDER THE UPPERCUT and then NAILS HIM IN THE FACE WHILE SLIDING. 1 panel he’s staring at the lights, the next he’s crouched down. That shot would have countered Ippo’s elephant jewels if his face didn’t somehow dropping below his waist somehow between panels we never saw.

I never thought I would hate Woli as much as I do now. His style is just a bunch of horse shit. Ippo needs to end this fight ASAP and learn something new.
Hopefully they find a way to salvage this. Right now this is looking about as bad as RBJ-Miyata.
Ugh. I’m getting sick of this fight. It’s a fucking boxing manga, so stick to boxing.
Woli’s style is so far from Boxing that even Morikawa felt like he had to validate it. There’s like three pages in there where Takamura and Kamogawa are like “Even though it doesn’t look like the boxing we know, it is boxing.” Aoki and Kimura are like “That’s total Bull. Even the Dragonfish blow is more realistic than this.”
Ippo is getting called on slips, while Woli is slip sliding all over the ring. :lame:
This manga has officially jumped the shark. It is now stuck in the “utter fucking bullshit” category. It’s been wavering on the ledge for quite a while now, but because of my initial love for this manga I’ve been giving it the benefit of the doubt.
It’s like you’ve been in a long ass relationship, and you KNOW she’s cheating on you, but for the sake of the good times you once shared, you stick with her, even when she’s giving you some lame excuses. NOW she’s not even trying. NOW she’s just insulting your intelligence. NOW it’s finally time to put the bitch out on the street.
Ippo is a WORLD RANKED CHAMPION. He’s currently getting fucked up by Curious George. Monkey Boy is sliding around the ring and landing Grand Uppers like it’s glitched Streets of Rage. He’s also apparently from Cirque de Soleil, swinging himself around the ring with 1 hand from the ropes. Not only that, now he can change direction in midair. He’s Super Mario! Buncha parlor tricks that any real world class boxer would utterly SMASH without blinking, and he’s confusing the shit out of “the greatest corner evar.”
Fuck that. Bitch just told you she got herpes from a toilet seat. Time to put this manga to rest.
Goodbye Hajime.
No, Ippo.
No.
^_-;
What would totally redeem this fight if Ippo went Drago and made Woli go the way fo Apollo Creed. Except unlike Apollo, Woli needs to die like a bitch. I just wanna hear Ippo say just once, “If he dies, he dies” right after beating the shit out of Woli.
As much shit as I’m talking, I do hope that this series picks up steam again. I remember prior to meeting woli I was still in anticipation for the following chapters every week. But Christ, look how confused ippo looks. No wonder he can’t scoop chick. Fuck woli. God damn starfox barrel rollingass monkey.
You wanna know how Morikawa can redeem this franchise? Stop introducing new characters. You have a HUGE stable of characters that are dying to fight each other. WHY do you need NEW AMATEUR FIGHTERS?! Ippo can go fight Sendo again, Vorg again, Miyata (again?) or fuck it, go get beat the fuck up by Ricardo Martinez again! Who wouldn’t want to see any of those? You know, fights where he MIGHT be able to lose without anybody really being all too upset about it (or well, not upset enough to lose viewership), but still progresses the story and Ippo as a character. If you want to remove focus from Ippo (as if it weren’t long enough already), you got the grim reaper and his protege (Sawamura). Like I don’t get it, is this DBZ? Do you need a new random super evil that came from nowhere every fight or something?
I don’t understand anymore == nothing makes sense anymore ++ why?!?! x_x
Well, this just made my entire week. No joke, Kumi is probably in the audience eying Woli now. Ippo isn’t very good at adjusting.
This is going to be like Bleach when Kenpachi fought Tousen. Ippo is going to tank Woli and get him close, and then counter him.
Or perhaps Ippo will cheat to win… who am I kidding? 3 more chapter of getting wrecked, 2 chapters of implementing a strategy, 2 chapters of Woli getting beat, and 1 chapter where the whole fight is up in the air. Woli loses, everyone gives him their respect. Next fighter.
That formula is so tired. I liked it better when they intro’d new shit to Ippo’s arsenal. Straight to the god damn point. Hey nigga, DEMPSY ROLL. What’s up chuck, TEKKEN. No BS, straight to the point. Ippo’s comeback king reputation needs to go away, he stopped being a comeback king when his record hit double digits, he got more than 1 title defense win and only has 1 loss on his record which was by the hands of another actual champ. Then again, what’s left for Ippo to really learn, he’s kinda like Mashiba where his style has kinda just hit a dead end. The only way he can get better is if Morikawa decides to make him own the opponent, because he’s shown that Ippo now wrecks high ranked fighters in higher weight classes already. Pretty much Ippo can destroy anybody that doesn’t bring anything new that “surprises” him.
I have a question for you guys, if we magically skipped ahead into the future where Ippo and Miyata’s fight already happens and this allows Ippo to go off to fight Ricardo Martinez for the world title, does Ippo even have a fighting chance against him when Ricardo’s jabs own Ippo (and everybody else) so badly? Ippo doesn’t have tricks or a mix-up game like Date, barely utilizes Sakki and not as well as the likes of Sendo or Takamura and really the only way he can set the pace is to either hit first or dodge which he can’t do because of Ricardo’s jab. What’s left?
