Hajime no Ippo Chapter 1453 Discussion

If you understand boxing, you know that the one that is winning the positional battle is Mashiba and it isn't close😅



Against a southpaw, the one that gets the outside foot position is in a better situation...you can even see multiple panels showcasing that.



Mashiba's boxing IQ is superior

Awesome that Sawamura came to watch. He should sit with Sendo and Miyata.

seeing Sawamura again was great, but what's the deal with the long neck? haha

Intense but without surprises!

This chapter was a treat and the fight is intense. Mashiba is doing well so far!

This is one hell of an intense fight. Definitely World Champion level.

Mashiba gotta be one of the series' best characters. He is an objectively horrible person with issues but it feels so satisfying when he finally has something good happen to him.

With out a major plot this still might be one of the best chapters ever.  Excellent art work and you can feel the fight's flow.
