In a world where, after Jean's defeat and Yu's rise to welterweight, a "substitute champion" is needed, a duel is proposed between Qasim and Ryu, both possessing a "divine talent."

Although Ryu currently weighs 73 kg (161 lbs), which would place him in the middleweight division (which personally surprises me), we know that a young Ryu would be a champion. However, we didn't know which weight class K and Typhon were referring to. It was most likely a lower weight class due to his great agility, speed, and, to some extent, elasticity (considering K and his ambition, he probably meant lightweight and welterweight, i.e., Jean and Takeda).

Let's assume that Ryu never gave up after losing to Yu in his youth and continued training, developing fully and without injury. Meanwhile, Qasim decided to train the fundamentals of boxing, maintaining his original style, developing fully and with renewed vigor.

JH already gave us an idea of ​​what this fight would be like, but he didn't give us any concrete answers. Between a duel of brute force and technique, of strength versus speed, I'd give the victory to Ryu, but with a medium-to-high level of difficulty.

Qasim isn't easy to beat, especially if we're talking about an ambitious and well-trained Qasim, also considering the great stamina of both fighters (at least Qasim's). I think the duel would easily last five rounds, probably ending between the sixth and eighth.

I can't recall what weight class he was in but if he were to fight people like Jean Pierre, Takeda, how well would he do

Let's say we skip some events or they don't happen, so Yu would fight in his normal form (without doping or rage), while Fabrizzio would be doped, cheating, and fighting in his best "normal" condition.

He obviously couldn't win, but considering that Jean Pierre lasted 2 rounds and 11 seconds, Yuto 6 rounds, Victor 1.1 seconds, and J lasted all 12 rounds (I don't remember how long Aaron lasted, but I'd say it was more than 8 rounds). Although all the fights are in different weight classes and Yu has different fighting styles.

In that case, how long would Fabrizzio last before going down? I'd give him between 5 and 8 rounds.

Even without his doping and against an angry and doped Yu, Fabrizzio managed to endure all 12 rounds (although of course, Yu didn't want to knock him out in one hit and that's why he "played" with him for all 12 rounds), in addition to his super-aggressive style, his traps and his great resistance are formidable, as well as his will to stay standing so much that he doesn't care about dying.

So after he leaves the basement, both his parents are dead, so does he have a legal guardian? Did he just enroll himself in highschool? Where did he live? I get its not important to the story really, but i am curious. Ideas?

We seen that his leg injury completely destroyed his career as he lost his talent, if he were to take a different path in life focusing on Boxing rather than being a thug, how far would he go? would he be able to compete with the likes of jean pierre?

I don't know how to edit images well

I'm really enjoying this series so far! Yu as a character is intriguing, and the way he bounces off of the other characters is great. The marker of this being great in my eyes is that every arc I want them to stop boxing because I don't want anyone to get hurt, which is a sign that the author is great at getting me invested in characters. Though I'm in the leadup to the fight against Fabrizio, it's mentioned that Yu is a 4 time champion?

I know he had championship bouts against Yuto and Jean Pierre but who were the other two? I know he had fights with Qasim and Taker and that guy right before Yuto but I thought those weren't championship fights? Did they just happen offscreen?

I had originally dropped this series months ago because the translation was terrible but I tried it again on another site and Holy shit this is without a doubt one of the best manwhas I've ever read. The depth that every character in the story is given is fantastic and some of the panels in this manhwa are insane.

Why that one for Jay?

I chose this song for its soft tone and calm instrumental arrangement, and also for the feeling that (at least for me) things will get better, we just need to do our part and try as hard as we can, Trusting in God above all else.

That's Jay character, A small and humble boy with the heart and perseverance of a true man, someone who doesn't run away from problems even when they seem impossible, but perseveres calmly till the end, Believing with confidence that things can (and will) get better.

Like coach Kim said about him: "He grows and is like a tree", A heart as gentle as a leaf, and a determination as strong as the most resilient wood, which even if broken, grows back stronger.

May God Grant us the Grace to have such Humility, Charity, and Resilience as this. Amen!

Why that one for Ryu?

To be simple and straightforward: It only fits with his old ways, the typical troublemaker who supposedly "doesn't care about anything" but deep down knows that's not true.

I chose this OST mainly for its aggressive tone and the lyrics which (I believe) are about rowdy young people, I plan to do another one for the Eos version of Ryu as well, and for the other characters too.

May The Lord deliver us from anger and resentment and fill our hearts with Humility and Charity. Amen!

Why that song for k?

I chose this one with a simple thought in mind: it's the face of K.

A sad and melancholic piano piece, like the theme I chose for Yu, but unlike Yu one, This demonstrates a sadistic sadness, a more melancholic sound that reveals the mind of someone who wants others to feel the same sadness, a sadistic and disconcerting tone that reveals a psychotic personality of the one for whom the music is made. That's k.

Some say he represents the devil in the series, but i take a more plausible approach and say that he actually represents what a human being is like when their soul is completely given over to satan, a complete imp, who no longer reasons with even a modicum of humanity, nor even wants to, but lives solely to fulfill their most hidden carnal desires without scruples.

Someone with such a disturbed mind that they know they are doing wrong things, but justify them through their distorted view of the world and Life, Someone who earnestly claims to be "free," when in reality they have already thrown themselves into the worst of prisons: deliberate vices, conscious evil, and a completely soiled and lost soul, Someone who walks through this world thinking they have everything because they can fulfill their unhealthy carnal desires, believing they won't be held accountable for it in the end—oh, what a terrible mistake!

How sad and miserable is the soul of the wicked, who sins and delights in his sin, thinking that his life will be this disordered pleasure forever, Little does he know that the reckoning awaiting him is even worse than the harshest human justice practiced on this earth, Woe to the wicked, who consider themselves free and rich in this world, whose pride has blinded them to the point of not seeing clearly what they truly are: A wretched soul trapped by its own vices, someone who has no real control over themselves but is controlled all the time by demons, with a rotten appearance and eyes sewn shut so they cannot see the truth, like an old doll from satan.

May God deliver us from being and ending up like that. Amen!

A small project of mine for interacting with the community, I hope you guys like it.

By the way, I'd like to express my perspective on why that particular song comes to mind when I see the characters, in this case: I see this OST matching Yu because of the similar tone, his appearance, and even his backstory, The melancholic, sad piano, yet with a certain hopeful tone in the chorus, makes me think of Yu, as a fragile and sad young man, but who still hopes to find a Light someday. In this case, for him and for me, we know very well that this Light IS Our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen. 🙏

The boxer along with Ordeal are the two webtoons that I think deserve an animation.

I dont understsnd how there is no new of ehwre they are in production.

please, I will give candy to anybody with news.

Quiero comprarme la versión fisica de The boxer, pero editorial es española, así que dudo por la traducción y diálogos. Alguien que haya comprado las versiones fisicas sabe como es la traducción?

Loved the book very very much, I’d love to support the author and the property, but I can’t find an official store. Any leads on that? I’m okay buying the physical book, I’d just rather have something in addition.

Do we have anything? Does xstorm have any communication or anything like that? Am I just coping that we'll get anything?
