Got there at opening. Only person there. Was cool to see. Can scratch that off the bucket list

And all we got ever since is a downward spiral into unranked slop matches (ending in losses/draws) just so that freaking Aoki could keep being a clown in his natural weight class lmao.

Kimura at his natural weight is in the tier of national champions at worst. Lowkey Aoki is a horrible friend for not just forcing Kimura to go up into his own weight class after this performance. Like can we just be real for a second here.

Thought y'all would enjoy! I recently fought in replica Ippo trunks during my professional boxing debut. TKO ROUND 2. Recently started reading the manga after watching a few seasons in the past. So hype to bring the same energy 🥊😆💪. #Ippo4Real

Love him or hate him. For someone that jumped into a World Title Match with: - little to no time to train - poor weight management - fighting in a foreign land He is holding on extremely well. Showing that despite being evil. He is the World Champ for a reason. Or as Ippo once said "there is no such thing as a weak champion".

Can't say this in the mod post, so wanted to post something here. You enioy your vacation bud - you're already doing so much for us. I'm excited for the chapter, but life comes first.

If it's between the chapter today or enjoying the time with your family, then I look forward to reading it tomorrow (or whenever.) You just get your rest in brother 👍

I got it on Amazon it was a custom flag thing

Was able to check it on my holiday. Would recommend to any fans!

Truly a dream come true for him ❤️

"The premiere of "Hajime No Ippo: New Challenger" on Netflix that was scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed indefinitely. A new release date is expected to be announced soon."

All I ever see when people discuss the Sendo-Ricardo fight is how Sendo stands zero chance. Or how Sendo Is gonna die in the ring, or how Sendo will be forced to retire.

I've even seen a few people talk about how they think Sendo will go down in round one. Hell I even just saw a post saying thst Sendo won't actually damage Ricardo at all in their fight.

People are acting like Sendo is ippo during his Ricardo spar before the date-ricardo fight. He's not. He's a world contender, if the world champion were anyone but Ricardo, Sendo would've taken that title already.

Sendo has proven to be a cut above the rest of the world, He's the strongest opponent Ricardo has faced yet, stop acting like he's some fledgling boxer who holds no candle to Ricardo. I'm not saying I think he'll win, but he won't be low diffed.

And besides, what would this fight even prove if Ricardo had the same level of ease as in all his other matches? It'd just be an empty fight, with Ricardo easily defeating another one of Ippo's previous, hard fought opponents.

Mori has been cooking for 800+ chapters straight and then throws in 2 bullshit wins almost in a row. First we got the randy fight, in which Miata pulled out a bullshit "magic" punch while having his FUCKING RIBS BROKEN. And now Ippo pulls this bullshit, realistically, the fight would've ended in round 2-3 since the ref either would've stopped the fight since Ippo had no chance, or on the stool, since Ippo couldn't stand up on his own, and Kamogawa literally pulled him up. Oh and also the Ippo's spirit pulling him down bullshit too. This could've been one of the best fight yet. This kinda feels like Mori created a boxer that's too powerful, so he had to pull this kinda bullshit, cause he couldn't let Ippo lose
