the dempsey roll is utter stupiditygood boxers don't need special moves, like takamura or ricardo
>>282642829Sunday night punches bring in the crowds
>>282642829>boxers don't need special movesNo, but shounen does.
>>282642829Muhammad Ali had Rope-a-dope. That's a special move. Mike Tyson had Ear Bite too. Floyd Mayweather had the Sucker Punch and the Run Away.All special moves.
The dempsey roll was a means to getting Ippo a body capable of switch hitting with ease
>>282642829The new omnidirectional infinity dempsey is not just any special move. It was about to kill Volg in a spar.
>>282642829Friendly Reminder that this is the end game.
>>282642829You learned just now that Ippo is not a good boxer?
>>282642829Rewatching ippo is painfull. Almost every fight turns into brute force slugfest its insane. He gets hits so much that realistically Ippo would have retired even before getting a belt. I hated how much series started to focus on gimmick special attacks as if it is some kind of video game to keep up the suspense. Dont get me started on Kamogawa being a very shitty coach. I forgot that he literally never really properly taught Ippo basics and just improvised on spot basically as series went. Takamura should have been his mentor.
>>282644563Bro, author is a box gym owner>just improvised on spot basicallyThat's the job of a coach -to spot your mistakes and weaknesses. They don't teach basics.

>>282644563Did you really want this slow-paced, bloated series to become even moreso with panels of every single slight correction of basics during hours-long drilling sessions?
