Takamura doesn't have much fat, does he?
He probably has stopped growing a long time ago.
So he can only gain weight through fattening/muscles the latter being almost impossible as we are talking about 46 lbs or almost 21kgs

There's got to be a limit though right? I don't know what the weight difference is in different weight classes, but I don't think he'd be able to go up 6 classes without getting fat or something.Quote:

If wiki is right :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_weight_classes
Then his current class (Junior Middleweight) is 154 pounds and the heavyweight is anything above 200.
When you do not grow up anymore and you're as lean as he's portrayed, I really think gaining at least 46 useful ponds is going to be difficult.
Wiki says that in pro boxing you can challenge higher classes than your own, so you don't have to gain that weight if you don't want to. You just have to be good enough to beat someone who is bigger than you.
Talented as he is, there's still a limit to what you can do.
He seems to be tall, so maybe he always had to prioritize weight over muscles.
But even then, it seems like a stretch.
Ah, that takes care of that then.Quote:

Yeah, and in this series it's somewhere past "beat a bear to death with your bare hands".Quote:

Well, that match is going to last another 2 or 3 eps, maybe even with some fillers.
But I'm quite tired of having Ippo getting a beating ā la Rocky and winning in the end with no brain damage.
I won't deny that I didn't see time fly during that ep and I was on the edge though.
If they start going that route I'm seriously done with the series.Quote:
