This is not fun to read when Ippo just gets his brains punched out. Fights like these need to stop, Ippo can't take shit like that anymore. It wouldn't be that bad if this was the first time he got punched half dead before he did something but the thing is, it is just one of all the fights he got hurt badly. If he continues like this he won't be able to box anymore let alone do anything, he's gonna get some pretty serious damage for the rest of his life.

And to have Sawamura dominate like this, i like that even less. There hasn't been a character i have disliked this much in Ippo ever.

I just want this fight to end so that we can progress. Fuck, Ippo could go down now and then work his way up again, that would be more realistic. He could have gone down after the second counter and lose the belt to Sawamura to later reclaim it in a dominating victory over Sawamura with an invincible evolved Dempsey.
