>>5473607Oda's probably gonna be a cakewalk for Ippo no matter what. He just doesn't have the talent to make up for his poor work ethic.
Personally speaking, I'm more interested in our match with Ippo in the future.
The way I see it Ippo probably won't learn too much by the time we get a match with him.
To be more specific, whatever he does learn is probably going to be in service of his specialty; slips on the approach before standing and banging.
In contrast, you have Karada who
>has a much wider skillset and overall boxing knowledge>probably trained way longer than Ippo did before even going pro>already had his number during their pro test sparring sessionNot to mention Ippo has trouble adjusting to mind-games, which are Karada's self professed specialty.
Unless Ippo can survive until Karada gets gassed or makes a critical error, I predict Karada winning by decision.
However , most of our advantages go up in smoke the longer Ippo is allowed to build up experience.
I think it would be in our best interest to fight him early in our career or later after Karada gets his "Final Form" so to speak.
