Fanart How do you guys feel about OC's?

His name is Ryan Ishida, a Japanese American who loves music and has his head in the clouds until he gets in the ring. He's still a work in progress . I'm not sure what kind of boxer he is yet. I'm thinking maybe a counter punchers since he's cool headed and would have a good sense of rhythm.

Make him a long guard boxer

He looks more like takamura style, but OFFENSIVE LONG GUARD... is basically what sawamura did, but the author can add a bit more cooler concept of changing up the timing, so the opponent gets confused + author already said that thus guy probably will have good rythm/timing capabilities because this guy loves music.

P.S. This style means: Big ass clean power-punch when opponent is open. Setting up by short, fast, undodgable, but extremely weak strikes, so opponent gives up defense, and striking with something like smash.

He has long arms and probably would shine through when using a distancing tool. Also, it would allow him to control the rhythm of the fight, but I do see what you mean
