nope just blue balling from the author and time for ippo to realise how to dodge rather then just eat up punches like a fucking idiot.

Morikawa won't go through with it.
It's going to turn out to be the wrong kind of bait and switch.

>>147773922
I'd give the mangaka full points of Ippo pulls an Ashita no Joe.

But realistically? If anyone dies it'll be the coach. Shortly after Ippo or Takamura wins a big one.

>>147773922
Has Ippo fucked the nurse yet?

>>147773922
Love that panel. Ofc he'll pull through for now, but why are people acting like it's a bad thing? An Ashita no Joe ending would be fine if there's buildup and no loose ends left, they can't pull that now.

No.

>but why are people acting like it's a bad thing?

Because, hinting at him being punch-drunk but then not following through with it feels cheap and like a waste of time.

At best this'll come back after he becomes WC and forces him to retire.

>>147774106
Yup. It's going to be that Ippo just has the yips and that's why he's been fucking up.

Sooner or later I think either Ippo or Takamura are going to die in the ring or be forced into retirement but not yet.

At best we'll see them standing side by side in the final page spread.

Ippo will die a virgin because a decade of non-stop concussions rendered his gigantic dick incapable of working

>>147773922
it's all psychological

he's fine

Yeah no matter how much Morikawa might hint at new developments, he won't change from the status quo. Until he grows the balls to do that, this manga will remain shit.
Just look at Aoki and Kimura. They've had years of "development" but are still in the same place.The second Kimura lost to Mashiba, was when I knew that Morikawa won't change shit
