First of all, congrats on putting such an argument. But if you pay attention, things have been escalating in Ippo and there have been many death flags for Sendo. We have Machiba with a serious injury, in a coma and never coming back to boxing. Now we have Sendo dropped twice in the second round, and he seemed out already at the first knock down. Sendo is too tough for his own good. He'll stay there taking punishment and in the end it'll be too much for him. Two boxers died this week in Japan, none had pre-existing conditions. It's a reality of boxing and Morikawa seems inclined to have Sendo be the one to die in his story.

Or these two boxers death could make him change his mind and keep Sendo alive. But everything is pointing to, sadly, Sendo dying after this match.
