I thought you meant roadblock as in fighting. With his character… Honestly, he could do any number of things to improve his character right now. The way I see it, there's no excuse for this slum.
I'm essentially agreeing with you albeit in a different manner. I'm more angry that there are ways to improve Ippo's character and the author isn't taking them.
is Ippo's 'gf' Mashiba's sister still in the story. Don't remember.
Kumi was in the last chapter i think. She was breaking up a potential street brawl betwenn Mashiba and Sendou.
I'm really looking forward to having commentary by the all-star team. Has to be the most star studded sideline in Ippo history.
You guys are not encouraging me to catch up on Ippo.
Last fight I read was Miyata vs. Randy Boy Jr. Last fight I think I read with Ippo was Ippo vs. the Magician guy, who was using the loose glove trick.
Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! What a terrible fight! Anyways, hopefully the writer will do a timeskip or give us more non-ippo fights because it seems like the writer has hit a road block with Ippo's progress. 900 chapters in, damn, it's time for Ippo to grow some balls finally. [/rant]
actually i would catch up and then let it rest again for some months
then you would enjoy it, else the pacing just makes you rage
reads the new chapter
Are you fucking kidding with me?!!!
I found this chapter hilarious. I couldn't wait to see this thread. Niggas is trolling.
Just got caught up and i'm honestly not seeing what's so bad. Everything from the Kimura is a pedophile to chapter 933 was classic Ippo.
Sure the latest chapter was kind of teaser, really making you wait for it. But after Woli i wouldn't even consider complaining about something so minute.
HA! That was all kinds of hilarious. I remember laughing so hard at that part I fell out of my chair. xD
As for the Woli fight, I liked it.
The problem with this build up in this current fight is that…it's actually still building up in the fight! The buildup and tension that accumulated before the fight was done as usual but never before has the author decided to keep builidng up the tension inside the ring without throwing a single punch to this extent, for 2 chapters nontheless. Of course tension will still rise as the fight goes on but right now there is no fight. They're in the ring just standing there which is quite annoying.
What can I say, IT'S ON!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally some fighting again!
lol, it started but we couldn't see it.
the mangaka is flat out teasing us. XD
Fuck this chapter.
you could at least buy it a drink first.
Daring move by Morikawa to just repeat the last chapter. I get it. The tension is high. Now, please show some action in the next one!
I have to admit it…I was trolled again...AGAIN!
I love how the referee got internal dialogue.
That's when you know the author is fucking with us.
Decent chapter. Wonder how pulverized Ippo will be when he's countered at his own full power.
I'm just waiting for the next chapter.
Somebody better die next chap.
This build up has become insanely boring.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it will turn out to be a slip and we have to wait all over again. :(
the ultimate troll move would be that the fight happens off screen
make it happen!
This will be the 120% power punch.
Next chapter, Miyata jumps into the ring and knocks out Ippo's opponent in one punch and then the fated match finally happens.
Is this Mangaka trolling us?
seriously , wtf
WTF
Seriously?
:I
That's just crap now.
I fucking knew it,
:D I was waitng for this reactions! The same fuckig chapter for a month!! But now it really feels like is going to end in one punch.
Did anyone read that footnote on the last page? If it means what I think it does, fuck this shit.
nice one, he's finally moving. looking forward to next week. :)
I liked this manga a lot more when I was catching up. Guess it's because chaps like these made me lusting for more which I could get instantly.
I don't see why you guys are so pissed. Honestly, I'm fucking impressed. Like… the maximum amount of impressed I can possibly get. I want to see more stalling. I want to see the referee's backstory. I want to see how long he can drag this out. It's beautiful. It's an art form. This has evolved way beyond trolling. It's just fucking impressive. =D
Wtf, there is more story progression in Bleach. However, in contrast in Ippo I really want to see what happens next…
It's not just slow progression, but he's throwing out 12 page chapters. That's like a double insult.

I second this. In fact I wouldn't be surprised that the next chapter is gonna start with the bell ringing, ending the round and the rest of the chapter is gonna be them sitting in their corners.
And I finally got excited on page 13. Then it ended. B-E-A-UTIFUL!
Good. God. Seriously?
This proves that it's not healthy for a mangaka to keep doing the same series during 20+ years, they go funny in the head.
Same is happening to Kentaro Miura, sadly.
Good god this is hilarious. Ippo is my favorite manga now.
What's the matter too much build up and excitement for you?
LOL, it's like Morikawa wants to challenge Kubo for master troll.

Had to add that lol.
What's funny is, this will be a 12 round fight.
Actually, the max for this particular kind of match is 10 rounds.
Seriously though with all this bullshit hype and anticipation I'm expecting the 1st punch to land to end the fight and like I mentioned in the beginning possibly a career ending injury.
If this goes the full amount of rounds nothing will save this manga from being complete shit.
Ippo going into complete shit territory is so far of the map i can't even imagine it.
Anyhow one does wonder if it's gonna turn into some kind of overcoming a serious injury thing for Ippo. Since it would be fricking lame if he missed the counter, and if Ippo just shrugged it of it'd be well just stupid.
That was actually intense. That last panel looks brutal.
