I think that Morikawa is trying to put Ippo at Kamogawa's level... like "what if Kamogawa would live in these days"...

Kinda reminds me of the Simpsons episode when Homer takes up boxing. He can take w/e the other, in shape, boxer's can throw at him, then when they're so tired to smashing him.....they fall over!
Ippo's done nothing, he's "tapped" Woli....erm....I think it was 5, then 6, times? (slightly confused it's been so long!) and now it's been mentioned twice Woli's legs are shaking (chair hit his leg LOL!) and then he failed his landing. Imo - Woli's tired, and gonna fall on his own accord, but Ippo can take w/e been thrown! Just like Homer. |

those blody blows must have some impact, if not, Morikawa is a troll...
Woli's legs aren't ok as everybody see... that sensation of being hitted at the corners and the bad landing are enough proof to me... Morikawa's always depicted the fast boxers as poor in stamina and endurance, OTOH, infighters are made for tolerate damage.

I remembered how Kenshin Himura evaded the big guy with fast speed just to make that guy's muscle torned or wear down making him unable to move.
Woli's coach forgot that his fighter's weakness are his legs even in NBA, the young players (Greg Oden and Blake Griffin) always end up have torned ACL and other more. It can't endure enough strain for constantly moving at fast pace. Ippo can still win this match, with the full powered punches energized by his remaining strength left. It would hit Woli since his evasion diminished due to the stress on his legs caused by frequent movement per round. This is how Pacquiao should beat Mayweather in boxing. Have Mayweather twist his ankle from dodging Pacquiao's punches. |

Even Ippo with his new versions of the Dempsy Roll can't endure the strain on his legs.
Woli I can rate him faster than Takuma and Itagaki, a better evader and accurate hitter, though one thing I've seen in this match. Woli probably has a glass chin and a body that can't withstand heavy punches as seen Ippo sending him flying after a haymaker. Other news seeing the Manny Pacquiao VS Clottey fight I feel less impressed now on Ippo's "Peek A -Boo" stance.

Agreed. It's not like Woli has any experience with actual fighting. Specifically, he has always run from a fight, either by jumping into the trees, or by running and jumping in the rign. So, of course actual blows against his unconditioned body, especially blows from one of the physically strongest Featherweights in the world, will create a larger effect than anyone (on Woli's team) will realize. Woli's legs will crumble soon, and then his couters (his strongest blows) will dissapate, then finally he will will fall under just 1 or 2 blows.

I watched the fight as well, and to be honest, Clottey did more damage to Pacquiao then I have seen in any of his recent fights, I was actually quite impressed. His defensive fighting style might not be the most impressive/entertaining, but he didn't get knocked down once, and landed more clean hits on Pacquiao then any of his recent fights. Pacquiao also threw more punches then any of his previous fights,and still didn't knock him down, which is impressive in its own way. On-topic: I do expect Wolly to be reasonably fragile, especially against a heavy-hitter like Ippo, he looks like he rarely gets hit, especially against someone of Ippo's strength, so he could well be blown away by a single solid hit.

Off Topic:
Clottey did damage to Manny, but the damage he did was nothing Manny can't handle, Clottey is known for his accurate surprise upper cuts and punches within the peek-a-boo stance, Iam not looking at the entertainment part in Clottey's boxing, but his ability to win matches. As for clean goes, he's got a tight defense and accurate punching, but for offense he's good. Manny can dance around him and as seen in some rounds Manny wants Clottey to hit him and he lets him. But one thing I can take off my hat off Clottey, he's a nice, humble guy like Woli and he's done what many boxers couldn't do, go to distance and not get knocked down. That would be his trademark and legacy that he can be proud off. For LOLZ AOKI DOUBLE PUNCH!!!! On Topic. Ippo as Clottey. Defense!!! Defense!!!

That is the problem I have with Clottey. It's like his goal coming into the match was to go the distance and not get knocked down, rather than to beat Pacquaio and win his title. So yeah, he got his wish, but as a boxing fan it left a bad taste in my mouth. I can only imagine how much better the match would have been if Clottey had used a more offensive strategy.

TBH, I think the fight would have been a slaughter if Clottey went for a more aggressive style, trying to beat Manny at his own game, especially when Clottey's normal style is more defensive by nature, is just asking to get knocked out.
It wasn't so much that Clottey was bad, its just that Manny is so good.
