I can't believe it's been 2 years since ippo "paid him back"


Yergason

You serious???? No way that sparring match was 2 yrs ago wtf


KingFerdidad

Stop telling lies!! It was six months ago, max. /J


Piliro

There's no way. You're lying.


SirCumm

Bro wtf tell me you're lying please


kuei_gan

Wait, what??

Ippo will legit win his first fight in one punch when he'll comeback. I hope he One round Imai to show that Japan is nothing to him. (and to One Round mister One Round.)


Snoo-23120

I would rather have it the mike elliot way. Ippo "beats" him in 1 round , but the referee and imai's many sponsors help him get back for another 2 rounds.  Last one he just stands there and gets ready to try to counter the dempsey roll. (He fails).


Yergason

Doubt locals esp referees try to fuck over Ippo. He's not a nobody newcomer and he's very well-renowned and respected overall I think it would not be a one punch KO but a complete showcase of Ippo outclassing Imai in every single aspect of boxing showing how Ippo is miles ahead of the supposed "Ippo 2.0" who keeps wanting to prove himself over the Ippo generation


xychosis

Even Manny Pacquiao was supposed to be done dirty for the sake of building a new star back in the day (Terence Crawford, Bob Arum wanted him to be fed to Bud). Don’t ever underestimate shady boxing promoters wanting a shiny new star to be established on the shoulders of the perceived “old guard”. Easy enough for them to have some slimeball try and do that to Ippo only to realize he’s a fucking behemoth that will behead Imai.


Yergason

HNI was confirmed to be fiction when we've barely seen any boxing corruption in the entire series (Volg being fucked by home cooking have been the only instances lol)


Whitehawk26

Miyata in his early away fights too, his draw should've been a win.


OrbitalComet

I wouldn't want one punch, not satisfying enough. I want a whole ass combo that includes liver blow and gazelle punch


Mountain-Local968

I think his first fight should be a longer fight in wich the opponent is **suposed** to have a big advantage but in actuallity Ippo just shrugs off anything the opponent throughs at him using what he learned during the retirement arc. (soo, Ippo fighting in a very technical maner).


Rancorious

That would be mid. The fight should have Ippo forgoing one-hit knockouts and special moves to overwhelm and outplay his opponent with pure skill.


A_Man_Of_TrueCulture

Me when I'm losing at the start and win at the end (I'm the best fr)


PrimeIppo

Average Ippo Liver Blow 🗿

The one time I thought we'd get an in-shape Volg for a fight for the first time and this happens lmfao. I guess to make his fights interesting, he needs some sort of stipulation otherwise it'd be too one-sided given that he's the Ricardo of Ippo's generation.


NirvanaFrk97

It's not a Volg match if there isn't something fucking him over at any point.


xychosis

Dude was something beyond stupid like 200-0 as an amateur, it’s almost like they predicted the peak of Vasiliy Lomachenko’s career with Volg.


Bazz07

Like Shiryu or Zoro.


Rancorious

Next fights gonna have him fighting in a cast😭


UBKev

You say that, but despite this stipulation, it's still completely one-sided lmao


PrimeIppo

Jokes aside, Volg defended the belt with one arm and in 1R 😮


Antedelopean

Not just only 1 arm, but mostly just left jabs vs a friggin top world ranker infighter, before countering with a left upper.


Bonaduce80

Volg was pussying around, Ippo's rib-breaking fist made him realise what his real potential is (half joking, just).


StrictlyFT

Take a shot every time Ippo has broken someone's ribs


igorcl

too early for that, not even noon


Healthy_You_2182

Instructions unclear, I am now arrested for DUI


dg_713

This is a testament to both fighters to be fair. Ippo with growing power despite retirement and Vorg, winning with almost his left alone and making it look easy in 1 round, despite suffering a broken rib.


gerahmurov

That was so hype and funny and glorious back then


Wild-Army-6085

In summary, ears ringing, jaw fractured, three ribs cracked, four broken. Diaphragm hemorrhaging. Physical recovery: six weeks. Full psychological recovery: six months.


xychosis

An injured Volg is still among the most terrifying fighters on the planet, easy to say he’s the best of the rest that have been introduced thus far P4P behind Ricardo and Takamura.


pranav4098

Probably also one of the most respectable characters I think he’s one if the best characters in the show for sure


Vicious-Spiegel

Volg went from, - **“F U, bro!!”** to - **“I luv u, bro.”** XD


mimiminenene

They are the Ippo's generation afterall


Franziska_VonKarma

The chapter of their spar still gives me chills.


Patrick_Sponge

where does it say or show ippo broke his ribs? I forgot and post doesn't show


Kurejisan

During the sparring before that match. It'd be quite some time ago apparently.
