Hajime No Ippo

Si, Ippo venció a todos los campeones del pacifico, menos a Miyata, luego perdió con Alfredo que venia de 2 peleas donde Ricardo lo destrozo.
Ademas se tiene que tener en cuenta que lleva como 1 año retirado (Y otros 2 sin ganar una pelea)
Sigo sin ver el porque alguien como Ricardo querría entrenar siquiera con Ippo, vamos que Sendo prácticamente lo tuvo que forzar a tener un sparr y este esta mejor rankeado de lo que estaba Ippo cuando estaba activo

Sendo va a hacer algo inspirador para Ippo en este combate, gane o pierda. Puede que incluso lo mire antes de hacer algo.
Máxima empatía con Ippo. Sé lo que es hacer algo con motor automático durante años, dejarlo, y volver con una nueva resolución.

¿Sabéis quién se va a sentar al lado de Ippo durante el combate? Exacto: Ricardo Martinez.

I feel like Morikawa is setting up a situation where Gonzales will dominate Sendo using his textbook, "honor student" boxing for the first several rounds. When Sendo starts getting some openings and Alfredo gets tired, he'll switch to Metztli mode and end up losing to Sendo by KO. Had Alfredo played it safe, he could have handily won by decision.

This will let us see Sendo vs Martinez and also show Ippo the two things he's really missing as a boxer. Alfredo will demonstrate the value of a more straightforward, defensive boxing style. Ippo should realize how his reliance on big punches and moves like the Dempsey roll cost him matches he could have won (or won with less pain) through a more measured, careful style of boxing.

Sendo winning will demonstrate how important psychological fortitude and thirst for victory are. When Ippo was Alfredo, he wanted to show his coach how far he'd come, defeating Gonzales was an afterthought. Sendo came to Mexico to win and should make all the difference in their matches with Gonzales.

Sendo and Alf each have half of what's required to be a true rival to Martinez. This match can show Ippo both of the things he needs to learn and hopefully get him wondering how much farther he could have gone.

One other thing is clear as well - Ippo needs to stop idolizing other's strength. He can appreciate how strong an opponent is, how skilled they are at boxing, but when he idolizes them he raises them above his level before the match even starts. Ippo needs to fight as a challenger but think like a champion. He needs approach fights as an underdog, and think of opponents as walls to be overcome, not impossible cliffs to scale. That desperation to reach unthinkable heights is what drove Ippo to do stupid things in each fight, when a solid mastery of the basics along with his own unique method of boxing is all that was ever needed.

Alfredo por fin se pone serio y se deja de tontadas, la pelea de verdad empieza ahora. Al ritmo que llevan me parece a mí que en 3 capítulos se ventilan el combate xD

la vuelta de Ippo puede hacerse realidad

Hacía tiempo que no se veía un combate con un final tan imprevisible en la serie, salvo que Alf se saque algún truco de la manga la cosa anda bastante pareja. Viendo esa identificación que hace entre Sendo y el González "old style" es posible que Alf utilice alguna estrategia parecida a la que usara Ricardo contra él en su primer combate por el título.
