This whole fight was barrelling downhill to one gigantic loss, but the author kept HINTING at Ippo winning by making his characters say things that directly defy how he his manga runs. Trying hard in shounen manga always overcomes talent, its like the golden rule and now he's going to have his hands full explaining why Ippo has gained psychic powers and is able to hold someone to the ground with ghost copies of himself as he pummels them freely.

wooooo spoilers

maybe it all those "body blows" that ippo landed (touch him 5 times blahblah those blows) weren't as weak as they seemed

or maybe the manga is going all prince of tennis !

Goddamit. He was due for a loss for a long fucking time. But I knew he was going to win anyway because of the stool issue.

It's nowhere near as exciting as before, Ippo never got knocked down since god knows when. Oh well, at the rate its going we have to wait 80 more volumes till we get to the Miyata Ippo match which is probably going to be the featherweight championship.

I agree with Melon, the manga is getting more unrealistic and more ridiculous, the last 3-4 guys ippo faced were simply unrealistic freaks.

Seriously, Woli vs. Ippo is getting kinda ridiculous. Ippo did absolutely nothing the whole fight -_-

Also I don't think Miyata vs. Ippo is ever going to happen and I am no longer excited for it ever since the Randy Boy Jr. fight. Instead the match I wanna see is Vorg vs. Miyata. I think that'd be pretty sweet~
this is my quote.

Vorg is no longer a featherweight. He got shifted up to Jr Lightweight, probably a set up for a mashiba/vorg title match which is probably going to be epic too.

Yeah I know, but he still sparred with Woli and he used to be a Featherweight before. I just think it'd be pretty epic to see Miyata fight Vorg. Ever since they said how even Date would have lost to Vorg I've been dying to see him go up against someone good. Even a rematch with Ippo or a match with Date (even though he's retired) would be awesome. Mashiba vs. Vorg would be pretty sweet but my money is on Vorg. Mashiba got kind of lame ever since he got soft.
this is my quote.

It was foreshadowed all along that the "body blows" would take Woli's feet away. I hope Woli would win anyways, and "learns about boxing" from the experience. It just doesn't seem right for Ippo to win this one after doing almost nothing at all. Ippo's due for a loss anyways and seeing him have a comeback after a loss seems much more interesting to read after he's steamrolled all the way here. It was so much more exciting when Ippo was a scrub.

It won't really annoy me if Ippo wins. That would be unrealistic but so is a 3-match only monkey beating the shit out of Ippo like that. I just want this fight to be over and move on.

We are talking about the manga. Which is about 40 volumes ahead of the anime. To give you an extent of how huge that is, Naruto is only 46 volumes, and the chapters that were used for the 4th season of the anime(new challenger) were probably drawn in the mid-late 90s.

Go read the manga now.

ippo is moving too slowly, i mean the last few chapters were all woli beating shit out of ippo and showing what raw talent is. now it looks inevitable that ippo somehow wins (-.-''), imo the peak of this manga was the takamura hawk fight. now, like the op said, its getting ridiculous, i mean its not even boxing anymore

i dont think miyata is even close to what vorg is, from what i remember vorg was ranked 4th or something in the wbc or something. but then again, the manga keeps getting more and more unrealistic =[

I can't help but be excited at how ridiculous this is, its what the new thing is in shounen manga these days. Throw down your protagonist in the most gg situation ever, and then WTF A WAY OUT EXPLAIN PLEASE? Done. Its like watching Detectve Conan, we know someone committed a murder now they just need to explain who dun it,

in a cool way.
^ Thats important.

If you have lots of time, I'm sure you can watch the anime and read the manga. However, I would rather spend my valuable time on something great rather than spend a lot of time on something good. Some may argue that the story/whatever is better in the manga and may have a different opinion. This is my opinion and it may be based on different criteria.

Edit: This is pretty off-topic. If you want to discuss it, PM me.

It's called artistic license ... Ippo's body blows probably numbed or took away Woli's legs.
