Honestly, if you were to ask me to watch some boxing on TV, my response to you would probably be "hell no". Fortunately, my cousin showed me this anime and I thought at first it was going to be somewhat bland because the main character, Makunouchi Ippo, does not have any redeeming characteristic about himself; the guy is just too nice. The story revolves around Ippo learning more on unorthodox methods of strengthening his body to be able to overcome his opponent through his coach's teachings.
The action on this show makes this, in my opinion, one of the best sports anime ever because the fights
...
scene get so intense because Ippo can never overcome his opponent because they have a new boxing talent or trait that Ippo has to figure out through training to find a way to overcome him. But if you don't just want intense action all the time, there is a small romance that changes up the story, so it's not non-stop fighting.
Not just the story, but the characters around Ippo make you laugh hard because they do stupid stuff together that allows Ippo to open up to because he never had people who he could call friends that would hang with him.
This anime is one of my all time favorites because what it teaches people about hard work and commit can do for a person. I highly recommend this anime to everyone.
