And i totally supported that thought of him losing.

Not that i hate Ippo but it wouldn't hurt if he loses once in a while. He was clearly dominated during 3/4 of the match so i could hardly think of how he'd manage a comeback. But as we all know, Ippo always has the last word.

Yeah I think he is going to have another loss soon though. I'm hoping for Sendo vs. Machinochi III that would be epic to say the least. I fucking hated this fight, not because Ippo was losing but because of the pacing. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOW!

I bet even Slowbro was like "Wtf man?".

I know there's already a thread for this.... too lazy to dig through the forums though :|

PS

The best sports manga goes to Slam Dunk, actually. But if it's specific, then the greatest BOXING manga would be Ippo.

Best Basketball manga: Slam Dunk

Best Baseball manga: Forgot the title, but it's tied with MAJOR

Best Football manga: Eyeshield 21

I wasn't crazy about the art as I started, but the story dragged me right in and the next thing I know, I'm 800+ chapters in. Great stuff.

I've only watched the anime, hope it's already good enough for another season. I would so freak out if the new season is coming.

Must say, recent chapters of this series have been nothing but pure disappointments.
