Because Morikawa's protege Manabu Fukushima lost to Oscar Larios. JB Sports Gym never recovered. Old fart was so disillusioned that he made his Ippo characters lose except Takamura who is just a parody of old school Jap chads like Hiroshi Fujioka ( Kamen Rider / Segata Sanshiro )

Morikawa with the low self esteem thinking a Jap can't beat a foreigner. Meanwhile, Naoya Inoue has been knocking out foreigners left and right. I'm not even a Jap but almost 40 years of this shit is annoying. Why not just conclude the match off panel? Why waste chapters with this filler nonsense.
