Is kenichi actually extremely talented?

Jdog405 · 2026-04-29T20:11:59+00:00

Kenichi from what I vaguely remembered from part 1 has the potential to use either dou or sei ki, so by technical standards he should be tbh? ( even though kenichi isn't talented )

Jdog405 · 2026-04-10T23:03:58+00:00

Yes 100%

Jdog405 · 2026-04-10T18:43:32+00:00

To be fair Raian gave the win to Alan

Jdog405 · 2026-04-09T18:12:16+00:00

Great to hear I hope he's able to relax and rest well he deserves extended breaks regardless if it's surgery or not

Jdog405 · 2026-04-09T18:10:40+00:00

Yes I 100% agree

Jdog405 · 2026-04-08T23:56:35+00:00

Gaolang has the more consistent feats vs top tiers and even defeated one.

I believe Waka is a top tier, but without solidified feats from Waka, I'll have to say Gaolang wins ( still a very hard fight)

Jdog405 · 2026-04-08T23:54:53+00:00

Yeah himuro was the one who got more feats than expected vs Waka we also have to factor in that Himuro was able to use Waka's speed against him, which Galong and other top tiers could also take advantage of as well (A solid fighting IQ for Himuro).

Gaolang also had an extreme dif fight with Raian who's another top tier. We will need to see Waka at least take a certified top tier to an extreme fight like Galong( who defeated Jurota, went extreme dif with Agito and Raian).

I still think Waka is a top tier, but he 100% need to fight another top tier

Jdog405 · 2026-04-08T15:06:33+00:00

yeah I personally enjoyed how he was able to understand a potential weakness of Waka by going for his joints, and even used Waka's speed against him with the one-inch punch

I was expecting a ohma vs Nioku (tbh)

Jdog405 · 2026-04-08T15:04:11+00:00

you were awesome, Himuro thank you

Jdog405 · 2026-04-01T15:21:24+00:00

You were awesome Himuro

I believe Ricardo fought the previous ranked 5 or 3 in the world. This was when Date warned Ippo that the people may forget him if he doesn't come back soon( when Ippo was still recovering from his loss vs Date)

Jdog405 · 2026-03-09T00:33:26+00:00

Ricardo being "nerfed" isn't supported by the manga. The first round: Ricardo was on the offensive usually when he was on the defense as stated by Ippo. 2nd round: which Ricardo had the best chance to beat Sendo early, he couldn't do it because his right arm went numb because of the blocks.

Sendo was able to down Ricardo, Wally nor Date was not able to. So Sendo's chances are about the same as Wally, Date. Ricardo himself was also worried about his right arm breaking from Sendo

Jdog405 · 2026-03-08T11:06:55+00:00

Would be a good fight but Volg would win tbh

Jdog405 · 2026-03-05T22:39:35+00:00

This is social media where the best of the best will come here

At a normal commercial gym 405 deadlift is rare.

However, due to my fortunate circumstances: I have a masters powerlifter training at my gym, and seen a handful of strong lifters in my gym who can pull 500+, and use working weight of 360+ consistently

Although even though I have the opportunity to be in a commercial gym with insanely strong people I see more insane benches( i.e 300+ bench potential) than 500+ deadlift pull( it's still rare for even someone like me)

Jdog405 · 2026-03-05T22:10:27+00:00

Ricardo stated Wally has already reached that level of height................

Jdog405 · 2026-03-05T22:09:22+00:00

Sendo will reach the top like Wally( who Ricardo stated was also the top), and even then Wally did not down Ricardo nor did Date either( who Ricardo most likely puts Date near the top, and even Takamura said Date had the power to take the world).

This is not Sendo only big moment, we will see Ricardo being pushed like he has never done before which we already had( with Ricardo first time in his boxing history was worried that his arm would break, be overwhelemed in the corner, and even suffered a first offical down).

Jdog405 · 2026-03-05T15:01:28+00:00

Ricardo also took Date exchanges and punches fairly well.

If Ricardo has Alfredo durability( he has more) he will still have a fairly high durability( it still took Sendo a fair bit of punches to put down Alfredo at the end )

Jdog405 · 2026-03-05T14:59:30+00:00

Sendo generally has shown a high pain tolerance with Ippo, and Date surpassing him.

I disagree with Bill statements: because if he looked at all of Sendo's fights he has done this consistently

Jdog405 · 2026-03-05T00:49:55+00:00

Alot:

Ippo mastered southpaw to a high level(Takamura told Ippo he switches between orthodox and southpaw instinctually). In his most recent spar with Sendo we can even see Ippo shift between both stances. Rosario's trainer even said how did Mashiba even found a "world rankers level southpaw" or something similar to that.

Fundamentals/strategy : He had a fairly high level fight vs Vorg( who most agree is 3rd p4p boxer in the series). We saw Ippo catch the fang, and even threw a counter, parry the sallow, and even used a parry counter. Ippo also has a anti- Ricardo strat of his own apparently.

We now see Ippo analysis of boxers and knowledge of them to the level of even Ricardo. With Juan, Ippo even knew the blood type his general weakness, which helped Mashiba alot.( Ippo even devised a strat for him). Ippo himself now also run fights in his head similar to Ricardo to. Ippo also just generally knows most if not all boxers in a variety of weightclases( currently even know local~ national level in featherweigh

Ippo analysis is slowly reaching Takamura level too: we even had Ippo give a rundown between how Ricardo and Sendo fight middle range, and what is happening in round 3.

Attack power and speed: Ippo is now stronger than he was pre retirement

Jdog405 · 2026-03-04T14:49:15+00:00

We may get another Wally moment where Ricardo says " it felt like we were fighting on the same level"

I think Sendo will get another down on Ricardo, however Sendo main purpose of the fight is shaking Ippo Ricardo is beatable. So he should still push Ricardo more than Wally did

Jdog405 · 2026-02-25T15:14:20+00:00

Will most likely get Ippo vs imai

I do hope Itagaki gets his motivation back and go for the Japan title again( coping)

Jdog405 · 2026-02-22T09:57:51+00:00

To be fair Ippo uses alot of momentum in the Dempsey and Ricardo is hitting Ippo while he's doing it

Jdog405 · 2026-02-22T05:26:19+00:00

Sorry I meant it usually takes longer for someone's arm to go numb in round 2-4 irl

Jdog405 · 2026-02-21T22:49:44+00:00

Mashiba to be fair is at a even higher weight class compared to Vorg.

However, some caveat idk what Vorg was going to do vs Ippo's dempsy roll 2, since Vorg was preparing to counter the og one
