wow this keeps getting better and better, even though it was stretched as hell it didnt feel like it!
also no the ring entrances are not THAT exaggerated although ofc they have been a little bit for the impact. Its not that common nowadays in boxing since there are no more real showmen around but in the past it would be failry standard to have lavish entrances and similar such things.
im really excited of how this fight will pan out. i cant imagine Takamura to lose when Date already lost. Would be kind of the same thing over again.
But then...Takamura seemed so confident, and from my experience with shounen-series, when a good guy is confident in the beginning...he loses.
what i could imagine is that the fight will start of with Hawk landing a hard hit within the first seconds, which then makes Takamura to wake up and fight seriously.
oh well, weŽll see...
point win by an infinitesimal margin for Hawk after an epic fight for both were Hawk regains nobility to the eyes of the public, and Hawk promotes Takamura to the higher class.Originally Posted by MFauli
No, impossible for now.

I'm somewhat angry this isn't boxing anymore...

In the sense that Hawk doesn't actually box, or in the sense that it seemed to get a little supernatural towards the end of the episode?
Yes, the supernatural thing, the impossible way of fighting etc.
From long ago, this show is exagerated as any shonen show would be, even more in a male fighting anime about boxing.
But I thought they crossed some line with Hawk. I do not see anyone able to puch heavy punches from a limbo position...
I also perfectly understand that Takamura will probably win with his ultra orthodox boxing way of fighting... but even his washing machine way of moving is a too much.
For those reasons, the tension did not build as it did for other matches, just because there isn"t enough reality in that fight I can grasp and use.

Hawks style reminds of Steve Fox from Tekken, throwing punches in impossible angles. One of my Fav in the game, you can do the Dempsey role also if u skilled enough.
I'm not familiar with the gaming world, but after watching some videos about Steve Fox on youtube, I do not see anything strange with his body position in his boxing. If there's something unusual, it's that sometimes he uses his right foot to strike, but that's all I've been able to see. So I do not see how he's related to Hawk and his limbo way of punching....

My fault for not being more detailed. Its a defensive counter punch he does in the game so you wouldn't probably seen it on videos online since they probably all show you all his infinite combos and such. Its in there though,while your on the offensive, he leans all the way back and you wouldn't even know its coming, he doesnt do it like hawk where he gatling punchs you like 30 times in that position though.
When I said supernatural, I was actually referring to Takamura's "running around you so fast I'm essentially in every direction at once" and his "moving so fast I split into 10 doppleganger's to attack you."
I personally didn't have a problem with it, but I could see how people who enjoy the show's basis in reality would be turned off by that.
I always considered this show to be taking place from Ippo's perspective, and I think that's just the animator's way of showing that they are moving on such a higher level than Ippo is currently at.
That ep was a tad better, they used a different drawing style which at times wasn't bad at all.
Takamura had nice frames.

Takamura looks way cooler with his hair messed up.
Well they actually changed his face specific traits and build too.Takamura looks way cooler with his hair messed up.
I really hope this arc will end soon, because they messed up so much in many ways... now there's someone whishing to kill on a ring...

the fight is cool and all, but wont this show be over at episode 26? i thought a series should have at least one important fight for the main character at then, ya know :P
Dude, don't even remind me. I don't want to see it end.
Well then you're in luck.Dude, don't even remind me. I don't want to see it end.
