well, transforming into an ape would be a preferable to Itagaki winning this match, and it'll make for a good laugh.

Enough of this, this is seriously horrible. I can't believe anyone (of the readers) is rooting for Itagaki, who doesn't deserve to win one single bit. He's overly full of himself, he's got no hard punches like Ippo, no inhuman stamnia like Ippo and should he down already, but NO! He's the genius, so on top of his huge talent, we're also giving him all the stuff that helped Ippo survive until now, just... BECAUSE!

I mean: he can't win unless he'll beat up Saeki for at least 2 rounds, because he NOT a hard puncher. Who wants to bet he'll win (man I feel sick writing this) this desaster of a fight in this very single round? -_-

I think I've already wrote it somewhere, but I'll do it again: Saeki is in this fight what Ippo usually is and that's the hard-working "traditional" fighter who's up against the genius. Ippo is the prime example that you can win with hard work, even if you're not a super-genius and this is exactly what Saeki is trying to prove as well. Making Itagaki win this battle, pretty much means the message of the entire manga is useless, because it only applies to Ippo and this means Ippo has to have some sort of special talent, that he has not.

If Itagaki wins, I'm seriously considering dropping this manga, I mean.. come on, this is bullshit. :/

As a note: I really liked this manga a while ago, but this fight makes me want to hate it, although there were such incredible cool fights in there, such as the Ippo vs Sendo fights, or Takamura vs Hawk. That was when this manga was still good...

Sorry to say, but Itagaki is most likely going to win the match. If it's any consolation, based on other forums, not many people want him to win. Besides, Saeki's a better character anyway. And he's cool.

In retrospect, was there ever any purpose to Itagaki's character? Yeah, yeah, he could potentially be another rival for Ippo(if he happens to leave the gym). Thing is, Ippo's got plenty of rivals already. And Morikawa already has the genius outboxing type(and rival): Miyata. Not to mention he didn't fuck anything up with Miyata. He was a slight douchebag in the very beginning, but turned out to be an all-around good guy, brilliant boxer, and is one of the better characters of the series. Of course, then Mori brings in Itagaki(Miyata's clone), who is by far, one of the worst characters. Maybe Mori has plans for him in the future, but for now there's just no point to the guy. That's how I've felt about him since his inception, and nothing's really changed.
