I think sendo is gonna wash Gonzalez. If they pull a date again that'd just be repeating the same thing. Sendo is gonna wash Gonzalez and lose the title match or the title match won't happen for some reason. I think sendo will be the one to spark ippo and miyata to return to their "former glory"
Somehow Ippo will end up sparring with Sendo or Martinez and that will be the spark. He has to show his growth at some point and then he will come to the realization that he has unfinished business, and that he has the tools to make his wildest dreams come true.
