@Ceildric you’re tripping the author isn’t lecturing us about anything he’s just showing us how much Ippo loves boxing and how he’s upset with himself for doing such a violent thing in the ring. Makes you appreciate Ippo as a character and a fighter even more when you think about it.
@Ca_calico I think he already knows how strong Ippo is. I think the reason he wants to even fight him in the first place is because he looks up to him the same way Ippo looks up to Miyata. There’s nothing wrong with that lmao.
