Pro Boxers React to Hajime No Ippo #4

[@raineheartily4580]

If some didn't know, Hajime no Ippo is written by former cornerman and now owner of boxing gym. and its an oooold series that started in 1989.

[@I_AM_BAYTOR]

And probably gonna be going til 2039.

More like 2080​@@I_AM_BAYTOR

[@jacobethandurham4]

Miyata is not the gym owner's son. His father was a pro boxer and is heavily involved in his training and career because he wants Miyata to be better than he was

[@TacoDehWinner]

Technically his dad does own one right?

[@jacobethandurham4]

@TacoDehWinner not that I recall

[@matteocardetta3393]

In the anime Is not specified Who own the Gym mybe the manga is more accurate in that

[@jacobethandurham4]

@@matteocardetta3393 the gym is called Kamogawa Boxing Gym and Ippo's trainer is literally called Chief Kamogawa. I don't know how much more clear they could make it

[@matteocardetta3393]

@@jacobethandurham4 oh in Just dumb xd

[@pl2386]

Ippo's power isn't completely a gift from God. He's been working at his family fishing boat and carrying loads of heavy loads and working on the boat strengthened his balance and lower half. The story of Ippo is really about hard work and seeing the fruits of your labor.

[@CoachKwik]

@@pl2386 ahh gotcha, thanks for the feedback!

[@jesse9638]

For sure Ippo built strength from the fishing boat but I think they’re saying is also true. Fast twitch muscle is something you have or don’t.

My guy on the left just wanted to watch the show and y’all talking over it😂

[@bighova09]

The pro on the left is ABSOLUTELY a boxing mind and I can see him having his own gym when hes done. He picked up on so much little nuisance. I look forward to catching his next fight and the young fella on his way to the olympics!

[@CoachKwik]

@@bighova09 haha great call! He owns the gym we shoot at actually! He’s no longer fighting but same here, can’t wait to see what the future holds for the little solution! Thanks for watching! 🐺🐺🐺

@ for sure

[@sovietlandon939]

cannot wait for them to get to the further episodes. later on, the rest of the series is such an addicting watch, emotional as well. humor as you've seen is definitely quite old, but the story and characters are so wonderful. it's a very inspiring anime, and even the manga has some incredibly illustrated fights. subscribing ! i can't wait to see the rest of these episodes with y'all.

[@CoachKwik]

@@sovietlandon939 can’t wait to watch more!!! Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching! 🐺🐺🐺

[@Dr.Barber]

Something I find super interesting about this show is that you can actually take some of the more signature techniques into a match and do well with them. Like I heard about someone putting Volg's "White Fang" to good use in his fights.

[@CoachKwik]

@@Dr.Barber haven’t got that far in the show yet but definitely looking forward to it!

[@rayciannello2268]

This series makes you laugh, cry, get hype and everything in between. Glad you’re planning to watch the whole thing!

won't it be better if they binge upload the reactions of hajime no ippo episodes per day? It's literally 75 of them (in season 1 only) that would be good for the channel!

[@dr.doctor4878]

@jameskullu2413 no because as you can see. Some of them works at the gym and some are active fighters. They don't have the time to watch Hajime no Ippo

[@jayliherable]

You need to do reacts for the later episodes especially when Ippo goes against Sendo or the featherweight champ.

[@CoachKwik]

@@jayliherable definitely will! Thanks for watching!

Mayweather liked to drop people before he obliterated his hands. He doesn’t want to but had to so he could keep boxing

My dad had me doing heavy labor since I was 10 started off as a stone mason then landscaper then construction worker I picked up boxing at 15 and that's when I found the manga been a fan since. I can't fight anymore or even lift as much I messed up my spine from all that strain but I still love putting in the work when I can it's so rewarding

[@noodl3boy]

The manga came out in the 80s too so there's a ton of history to sift through!

[@coopzilla1]

It may be difficult for commenters to provide commentary while reading the subtitles and pay attention to what's going on, all at the same time; Especially during the action-packed fights. It may be worth experimenting with watching the dub as well, just to see how it works. Thanks for sharing your insight and raising awareness of this classic.

[@knifejail]

Thank you for the awesome reaction. I hope you will keep reacting to Hajime no Ippo. Also, I hope one day you will react to a legendary MMA fight “Don Frye vs Yoshihiro Takayama” That match is called “the Manliest fight ever”

[@CoachKwik]

@@knifejail thanks so much for watching, definitely will be reacting to more ippo! And yes that fight is legendary, definitely wanna react to that in the future as well. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@iMrPaperBagGuy]

When coach Kamogawa talks about being a technical outboxer, he's less referring to Ippo having less technique and more wanting Ippo to be the type who charges in and pressures his opponents. The type who is always pushing forward and never retreating, as opposed to someone who's more analytical and tries to fish for openings while dancing around the opponent.

[@holypot4768]

I love this anime/manga. The author is still writing it since the end of 80s and it has A LOT of chapters. I know, it would be impossible to react to all of it, but i would recommend to check it out later for yourself. I think it could be interesting for boxers, because they could find something familiar to them in the characters' stories. I also know that a lot of guys started boxing because of this show. That also happened to me in the middle school, but i didn't last long because watching boxing and doing it are different things of course 😅

[@CoachKwik]

@@holypot4768 thanks for the recommendation and thanks for sharing! At least you tried it though! It’s a great way to get in shape even if you’re not planning on competing! 🐺🐺🐺

You can pay the daily rate and actually use the facilities too. The author of the manga is still putting out chapters week to week but he often takes breaks because his fighters have matches coming up

[@kimchi2093]

15:35 Just letting you know -- headgear doesn't protect your brain, it only protects from superficial cuts and bruises :/ .​ That's a common misconception.​ In fact a lot of people get more brain damage due to wearing headgear since they think they're protected and start going harder than they should.​ There exists no equipment to protect your brain from concussion in boxing, and it's something that needs to be fixed.​ Same goes for coaches -- they should be informed that headgear does little to nothing for brain damage so that they can accurately advise their fighters.​ Boxing is a "tough guy" sport, remember to protect yourself even if others pretend like getting brain damage is okay.​

You should give the dub a try for ippo or at least tune into a fight in the dub. It is very hyped with the commentators

[@ToonNick]

@JackM645 I can check one out some time sure, I watched the first couple episodes in english since my friend wanted to. I was very attached to the original voice acting and felt it matched better so I didn't enjoy the english dub, but to be fair I guess it was pretty early on in the show, so maybe they got more into it down the line

[@JackM645]

@ ya bro I would say the original source material is usually better but there a few instances where I can prefer dub. Usually for a lot of older anime or more iconic ones there are some gems in there as long as you can get by the main characters voice (Naruto and Luffy) but I like ippos va

[@ToonNick]

@@JackM645 Yeah for me personally I really like the FMAB, DBZ Kai, Promare and FLCL dubs just to name a few off the top of my head. I'm always open to trying dub if people recommend it to me, so I'll for sure check out some more iconic Ippo moments in dub!
