[@HarlanDrake]

In the manga, a bit later in the story, Sawamura claimed that the most dangerous type of punch is the one that comes outside of your realm of consciousness, the one you practically cannot fathom even being thrown, let alone anticipate and react to it. Miyata managed to pull this off against Randy Boy Jr. because he is a prodigy in both technique and speed. Aoki, however, is capable of creating this kind of state in his opponents' minds practically at will, all through carefully building up to it and choosing the correct moment to execute. Instead of disappearing from the line of sight of your opponent using lightning-fast footwork, you simply create the perfect deception for the opponent to move their line of sight for you. Aoki is a fucking genius.

[@cherryapple2986]

what chapter in the manga where Miyata do the look away too?

[@HarlanDrake]

@@cherryapple2986 Miyata never did the look away. He just managed to get the same result as Aoki by moving so fast that he disappears in front of his opponent's eyes and delivering a devastating counter. Not being able to see him throw the counter, his opponents are hit with a punch that they aren't even aware of, and it does great damage. If I remember correctly, Miyata vs Randy is around chapter 815.

[@KalibreSteelblast]

The scary thing is that there _is_ a psychology behind it, and Aoki figured it out- exploiting basic human instinct to look in the direction that another fellow human being is looking. Ippo noted that it happened to him alot whenever someone like Coach Kamogawa entered and exited the gym, and people would averted their eyes to greet him- he would turn and look with them as well. More importantly, Aoki had to bring Imai down to that state to begin with, a point where he wasn't throwing punches every half-second; that's why he spent the previous rounds allowing Imai to wear himself out. This is why Takamura's attempt didn't work- because he used it from the start without understanding why it was effective in the first place.

[@ultknight3135]

Despite that it was funny

[@kuyajmo5669]

Yes its funny to see But aoki is a great boxer with a wierd style

Its honestly one of the the most amazing, but the most dangerous. Even kamogowa has never seen anyone do what aoki does and make it work. Its truly aokis best strategy. He looks and finds the best way to make his opponent's rhythm be off. But its only effective if aoki is ssrious on winning.
