i dont know dude, i get the same feeling as i did in lallapallooza. theyre evolving with each punch. what did they call it? mix up? anyways, i dont think theyre gonna stop it unless something really bad happens

Re: Best boxer in Hajime no Ippo

I think Ricardo Martinez is easily the best boxer in the series. Takamura is one of my favorite characters, but even he was frightened by Martinez's skill. So I have to say he's second.

Magician's Trick?

Even though the awesome Mashiba spar is currently taking place, my mind's still focus on the mystery of Malcolm Gedo. Known as the "Magician," he represents a real mystery as to his real ability. Currently we've been provided several clues and I've taken the time to write down everything significant. I won't put down my thoughts yet, but I'll put down all the relevent information available. Consider the facts and let the challenge of figuring out Gedo's magic before the actual match begins:

Malcolm Gedo

32 matches
22 wins,
15 ko's
6 losses
4 draws

Quote from Fukui (ch-760) **Boxed in a thrown fight**
"Inside the ring with four 6 meters walls, he did something so I couldn't understand his range at all. I tried to use my left to gauge the distance but I couldn't tell if he was too close or far. I fought with my sense of distance distored the entire match."

Coach's comments (ch-761):
A-class Defenses... Incredibly skilled at maneuvering within the ring... constantly moving one way or another. Highly likely he'll drag the fight into the last round. (which is why he is Ippo's worst opponent)

video(ch-761)
Page 6, it appears as if Gedo gets hit.
Page 8, only picture of gedo in his fighting stance.

Itagaki(761)
Possible magic trick theory, "He could put his shoulder into his punches to extend his reach a bit. Or he may use very minute sways and steps to make you think he's further away than he is."

Negotiations for when to fight (ch-263)
When negotiating for time it appears as if Gedo's team wanted the match as quickly possible. They even taunted by asking "who's Makunouchi Ippo?" and the only concern was the amount of money for the fight.

I believe all this information is relavent. I'll post my opinions in a couple days. Feel free to discuss and debate Gedo's style, magic, and how you expect the fight to go down. Feel free to include anything that was learned in the Mashiba spar.

Old discussion Threads

The chapter 765 is out. Get it HERE

_________________________________________________

After done reading the chapter, feel free discussing the chapter 765 here.
Discuss away ^^


PS: I'll ask one of the mod of Hajime no Ippo to edit this first post for summary of the chapter.

another great chapter! so far no translation is out but it seemed that both ippo and mashiba went all out and they were pretty evenly matched. which tells us that ippo is a whole lot stronger than he used to be, since mashiba is not under any weight control right now as far as we know.
unfortunatly we didnt get to see the end of the spar but hopefully a translation will help us with that. maybe they mention the outcome....
tune in later for more details!

Re: Hajime no Ippo 765 Discussions Thread

Awesome chapter. It'll be even better when we get a translation, but it seems as if they are pretty equal even though Ippo manages to push forward pretty well.

Re: Hajime no Ippo 765 Discussions Thread

looks like mashiba had his ass whiped

Re: Hajime no Ippo 765 Discussions Thread

Re: Your favourite Fight

Once again, Takamura vs Hawk... It's obvious^^

But Kimura / Mashiba is close, when you watch the OVA you just get goosebumps Damn how come he lost...

Martinez / Date was also one hell of a fight, but Nekota / the American guy is better, Nekota just rocks^^

As for Ippo's fights, in the anime I just love Vorg, almost cried at the end, a beautiful one. Otherwise it would be his match against Sawamura, the only one who was a real opponent.


BUT, the best of the best remains Takamura / the Bear And Aoki's Look Away is just too funny too^^

Re: The Third Man... *SPOILERS*

It may very well be Arnie, since his coach was Sakaguchi, the one who despise Miyata and want to crush him ; raising another seed aside from Randy Boy Jr could be part of his plan, and he happened to pick a fight with Ippo in order to quickly gain access to the OPBF in case Randy Boy loses.

Still I believe Morikawa will introduce a completely new character ; after all we've see no good Chinese boxer so far, they all had their ass kicked...

Re: How will HnI ends ?

well... the story started with Ippo vs Miyata. so im guessing that it will end that way to.

i have no clue if its possible but i would like to see Ippo with one of the wbo or wbc titles and miyata with the orther one. and then they can slug it out on the biggest stage with the biggest croud and i think it would be awesome.

every boxer thats been in the manga would come watch that im guessing.
awesomeness!

Re: HnI whole series

Re: Best boxer in Hajime no Ippo

O_o No one likes Ippo? He is by far my favorite character. I like his work hard, know no defeat attitude. Nobody else is quite like him. I just don't like how he relies too much on Kamogawa.

For strongest, it's definitely Takamura. Coolest: Date Eiji!!
