Yeah...I loooked at that Chapter 1209 RAW:wow: I don’t want to believe he’s permanently retired. A lot of people are mentioning a time skip may happen but this chapter leaves a lot of concern about how much longer this manga will go on.

I actually think a few years of rest for Ippo could serve him well as now he can be an outsider and possibly rediscover that need to box. The question is, what will be the trigger to get him back in the ring?

damn, its like the end of an era seeing that

It’s amazing when you look back and see how far he’s come. I think he’s still have a lot of fight left in him. He just needs that extended break to mentally recover. To take his mind off a boxing a bit and just live a normal life.

Anybody still on this? Series really took a turn for the better strangely after Ippo retired and started coming to terms with it. Sendo da gawd went to Mexico to start some shyt with the champ Ricardo Martinez

Yep, I’m still reading! It’s crazy when you think how Ippo is in the center of all this. I’m still shocked that Sendo knocked down Ricardo. This fight would be interesting for sure as Ricardo hasn’t fought anyone as ferocious as Sendo while Sendo has been in two furious battles with Ippo.

I think Ippo watching Sendo go against Ricardo will be the thing that gets him back in the ring.

you long time reader brehs help me out here. I really just don't feel like backtracking.

I'm starting to think I imagined it....


But do any of you remember a chapter, Ippo went to talk to Sendo about something, found him at Sendo's apartment and Sendo beat his ass?

Like they didn't show the fight, they showed them both being revved up, then they showed the apartment torn up and Ippo being KTFO?

Like I remember it being during that arc before Ippo retired. and I felt like it was one of the things that led to it :jbhmm:

But hey, I'm not all that stable, and I read a lotta random shyt, so maybe I imagined it? I remember the shot of Ippo being on the ground being only one panel, and they never mentioned it again. Maybe I imagined it?

Help me out

:russ: Ricardo heard Gonzalez voice and faked a down cause he didn't wanna be bothered with Gonzalez or Sendo

Nah breh, he didn’t fake a down. He admitted that Sendo got him. Ricardo really hasn’t been in all out war in the ring yet so I’m wondering how he would handle Sendo’s punches in a match. Especially if Sendo connects with his Smash. Just really how much punishment can Ricardo take?

Sendo and Ippo sparred in chapter 1008-1009 I believe. Ippo lost the sparring match which made Takamura say that Ippo was getting weaker which was strange to me at that time. But now that Ippo is retired, it makes sense. He hasn’t released his full potential yet. He has to master using left while attacking with the Dempsey Roll in all angles and not take so much punishment. Ippo now knows that he has to concentrate on utilizing his left punch more.

Tbh Sendo, not Miyata, really should be Ippo's primary rival and the one he fights at the end.

Mmm...I would agree with that if Sendo hadn’t lost to Ippo twice. What would really be interesting is if Sendo beats Ricardo and then forces Ippo out of retirement to fight in a third match! I definitely would like to see that happening but highly unlikely.

Sendo better not get past Gonzales or he's getting Ashyta no Joe'd against Martinez.
Spoiler for latest chapter:

New potential love interest for Ippo? At least she lit a fire under him again. Dope chapters.
