Apparently, there are a lot of Mexican boxers and supposedly their machismo and ability to push for physical labor is what makes them great boxers. Look it up.
Julio César Chávez a proud Mexican boxer who fought in the super featherweight class (Ippo is featherweight I believe.) Total fights 115 Wins 107 Wins by KO 86 Losses 6 Draws 2 I'm pretty sure Ricardo is based on him.
@@DrClawizdead Chavez is amazing himself but Ricardo is based of a real person as well Ricardo “el finito” López he was an amazing boxer just like in the anime. When it comes to boxing Mexico is literally a powerhouse always bringing up new talent they are always dominating any combat sport.
Actually Japan has great love for Mexican fighters and culture. The idea of Mexican pride goes along with the Japanese way of thinking. Mexico is a superpower when it comes to boxing. The only weight we don’t control is heavy weight we are too short
This guy was no joke, he was based on real life Mexican fighter Ricardo "Finito" Lopez who retired undefeated with a record of 51wins 1 draw and 38 KO's.
@@airsoftgunreviewr331 Julio Cesar Chavez is a whole other beast, I think he had his first loss on his 92 fight. A true boxing monster, he hunted everyone down in the ring.
Ricardo reminds me of something Oliva said in Baki. To paraphrase, he basically said, "Bro, there are over 2000 people waiting to fight me. You're in last place."
@@jaykenarn6223 I'm praying for him to return to the ring. Lot of his rivals are itching for another fight with him. Besides eji passed the torch to ippo for a reason.
That jab is not anime overexageration. If youve ever spared against a semi pro with a fast and good jab.From your perspective as a fighter you can see the punch sometimes specially against someone who doesnt telegraph their punches. It really feels like your getting hit with punches you cant see coming. Its a vety humbling experience.
Whats best about this spar (even though Ippo got completely crushes) is that out of a majority of fights Ricardo fought, Ricardo the big man remembers Ippo after all the years past after the spar. He recognizes him and his stength along with Sendo. I hope in the manga we get to see Ippo vs Ricardo.
I do really like the theory that prior to making it big as a pro boxer Ricardo has a very similar style to Ippo and also used the Dempsey Roll which is why he was able to dismantle it so easily and also why Ippo made such a big impact on him despite the little dude not really doing much.
Then, we have to make sure to live long enough to see it, and Morikawa sensei to live long enough to make it. After all, Morikawa sensei is the only mangaka to spend 240 chapters for a MC time skip and teasers😂
Freaking love Ricardo Martinez, dude's such an epic character and master-class, especially when you read the manga. Easily the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in the Ippo Universe (second would be Takamura).
@@lancelot4718 "pound-for-pound," it's a phrase used to compare boxers across different weight classes because you obviously can't do it on a normal scale
@@lancelot4718 Non c'est complètement l'inverse qu'on te dit crétin Même moi qui ne suis pas suffisamment à l'aise avec l'anglais pour répondre dans cette langue je l'ai pigé
@@lancelot4718 They used the phrase to indicate that in terms of boxing skill, Ricardo is better. You could never put those two in a ring and have a fair matchup due to the size difference, everybody understands that. If you follow real boxing you'll see the same thing being done. People will argue things like whether Mayweather or Ali is the best boxer despite them being in different weight classes. People aren't saying that Mayweather would beat Ali, they're just saying Mayweather has more skill than Ali since you can actually compare that aspect of them despite the size difference. (I don't actually hold an opinion about who's the best though, just used an example)
Hey, for anyone who sees this, I wanted you to know, God loves you, Jesus loves you, and God wants to have a wonderful relationship with you where He can guide you and talk with you, where He can be your Lord, and your God. But you have to give up your sin, you have to leave a life of sin and choose to follow God and choose to follow Jesus. You have to be willing to deny yourself, and take up your cross and follow Jesus. (Matthew 16:24). Jesus said “For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 16:25). Please, choose Jesus over your sin, sin will never be worth it, and sin leads to death and death leads to hell. (Romans 6:23 ) Jesus brings life (John 10:10). Jesus died for your sin to save you, if you choose to believe in Him you will be saved. (John 3:16) Jesus Christ loves everyone and died for all of our sins. Jesus also rose again from the dead three days later, proving everything He said to be true (before He died He said He would rise again from the dead). Everyone has sin and the wages of sin is death. Sin leads to death and death leads to hell (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23) But Jesus died for our sins and paid our debt to sin, so anyone who chooses to believe in Him will be saved from hell and could go to heaven. If you want to make Him your Lord and Savior you could say this prayer: Lord Jesus, I confess You as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me for all of my sins, I repent and I turn to You. Please help me to live for You, and I love you. In Jesus name, Amen! If you prayed that, Glory be to God! Please get a Bible, read it every day, pray everyday and please go to church. Jesus loves you!
Unlike the other boxers trying to counter the dempsey roll by stepping back to widen their vision, ricardo has his blind spots covered without needing to move. Genius? Huge experience ? He might as well be boxing blindfolded
Nah he has impeccable timing. Ippo is basically a metronome in Dempsey roll, just time it and you will hit. Of course it's not that easy in a match when the pressure is high because one punch could break you, but this is Ricardo. I'm sure his heart rate didn't even rise during this match
also dempsey roll is QUITE fast because it comes from blind spots and the way ippo does it at inhuman speeds. Ippo can also just counter you with a early dempsey and can be devasting which is why some characters won't try to stop it. Tho ricardo probably didn't feel the pressure since he has a perfect jab and never tasted ippos power
Ricardo Martinez didn't even take a back step to counter it and didn't need to guard to get exact timing to counter it. Basically, Ricardo Martinez doesn't have any blind spots to get punched.
Nah ippo was still in his blind spots actually, but instead of looking for ippo, he got the timing down with a left. Although his eyes is really good as shown in the manga so maybe your right
BTW in the first manga of Hajime no Ippo, Mike Tyson is mentioned and Morikawa actually drew Mike Tyson! (He was mentioned where Takamura was introducing Ippo to boxing and told him that Mike Tyson was also too bullied as a child)@@MiguelJimenez-fs9wi
@@AlligatorAli They are referencing the style. He is using the peekaboo style invented by Cus D'Amato and mastered by Mike Tyson. Instead of fighting at an angle to create a slimmer profile, you square your stance with your gloves in front of your face. This allows you to slip side to side with each step you take forward, dodging as you close the gap. Very aggressive and energy intensive style, like how a shark must continue swimming forward in order to breath. You would have to have mastered incredibly quick, perfectly timed jabs to hit someone advancing in the peekaboo style.
Currently reading through the manga and just the other day read the part where Ippo goes to Mexico and Ricardo remembers him asking "we sparred before right? you're the kid with the dempsey roll." Crazy to think how long ago this was.
The author has really poor health, he has to take long hiatus and the story has barely moved forward, like in ten years of writing the story barely moves 1 or 2 years at most. It’s the manga version of GoT
Well when you bix you're supposed to watch the chest area to make your punches more accurate. You can see everything usually. But good technique and timing rules all in the ring.
@@faizfahmihashim8199 true takamura is the strongest because of genetics and fight instinct but regarding skills and boxing fundamentals and savagery Ricardo is better as a boxer than takamura
The way martinez’s focus locked in behind the shadows when he turned his head slightly to look at ippo after the sparring is a foreshadowing 😏😏 he knows Ippo going to bring some big boy power later

I always wandered what was the meaning of that, this makes sense.

So basically this is what Michael Jai White taught Kimbo Slice in that punching video The one where they are in a trailer park / garage and MJW is telling Kimbo how much a non telegraphed punch can do wonders
And now 4 years later we finish Ricardo's second full fight of the series, learning much more about him in the process. I can't wait to see what else Ippo has in store, 2023 should be amazing for developments.
It feels funny that in later season everyone theorises a plan to take down the Dempsey roll and the ultimate conclusion evryone even the opponent come up with was to back up a little have ippo in your vision and then land a counter whereas Ricardo in a earlier season is like nah I'd do my own thing
for me it s the best anime i ever seen in my life....i am so sad cause i know manga is far ahead and they are too slow with episodes i hope they can manage to make many episodes in next years!!!!!
I'm only now watching this series and I don't know if it has a definitive ending, but I hope, like real boxing this has an arc similar to what happened with boxing in the 80's and the 4 kings. Boxing legends that really have the ability to be dominate, but just happened to come up in the same era.
*Spoiler Alert* It doesn’t have a definitive ending in the Anime. Now I don’t know if the manga is still continuing but it also suffered “the author ran out of material syndrome” like Bleach and Detective Conan. Last I checked, Ippo retired cuz he’s showing signs of Parkinsons Disease.
The manga isn’t ending anytime soon cause it’s basically just published to be cash cow kind of manga now, and Ippo is still on fuckin retirement even tho he shown to be actually fine, arcs are going nowhere either. It’s sad af the series didn’t deserve this.
You should check out slamdunk and haikyuu if you haven't yet. These are my favorite anime along with hajime no ippo, they are all equally the best sports anime.
If they ever animate Ricardo vs Warlee I hope someone makes a comparison video of how others react to Ricardo's perfect jab and his point of view when he determines the only effective punch vs warlee is his left. Here Ricardo only needs his left to beat ippo. Vs Warlee only his left is able to catch Warlee's insane agility and dexterity.
Thank you Japan or China idk where Anime really originated exactly. No other form of animation takes this much into detail. The thoughts and assumptions really keep me invested. Much Love and Respect. I'm a Mexican.
? mentiras, Ippo simplemente no pelea para ganar... y en el mismo Anime quedo demostrado innumerables veces y Takamura se lo dijo en la cara a Ippo. También Takamura le demostró al viejo Kamogawa que sus enseñanzas funcionan en el escenario mundial, solo que Takamura prefirió su "propio estilo"
@@izilgur es cierto que Ippo ya no tenía "hambre" como boxeador, pero Morikawa a dedicado varios capítulos a mostrar las debilidades del boxeo de Ippo: la dependencia en su Dempsey roll que lo hizo perder lo más básico, su izquierda. Mientras que el viejo demostró su debilidad a un nivel estratégico, fueron varios los personajes incluido el mismo Takamura que le advirtieron del peligro de seguir como lo estaban haciendo, el boxeo de Ippo era perjudicial para el mismo (por el daño acumulado) y los llevaba a ambos directo a un desastre, como así fue que ocurrió.
Later in the series, when Ippo went up against Gonzalez, Ricardo spoke to his manager about the upcoming fight. "The boy with the Dempsey Roll? That's a shame. If I had remembered, I would have told him (Gonzalez) to be careful." Ricardo recognized Ippo's strength and potential in that spar.
Ever wonder how crazy it is the universe exists? And everything is perfect for life? Just take a moment to think. It’s crazy right? Just try searching into Christianty u may like what u find there. And if u do like what u find search up what a lukewarm Christian is and don’t try become one. May God guide u! God bless u!❤❤❤❤
Unpredictable. Just unpredictable. Unbeatable? Fast as hell if combine with flicker jab, which is easy to learn irl and mixed as a combo body and head punches(hien) that will not let you dodge or block. Footwork will not let opponent apply pressure. Nearly unbeatable. The ONLY way is to use bullet time. The pure focus on movement of the gloves, not the muscles. It is possible to beat, just... Nearly unbeatable😅😊.
@@bigmountain1655 He tried different ways to get to Ricardo but nothing worked so he decided to throw all he got but that still wasnt enough. The fact that he used the dempsey roll isnt the cause of his defeat, they are just not on the same league
Ngl it would not have mattered. Ippo during this point basically stands zero chance against Ricardo and thats just a fact lol. He lacks the experience, has a good amount of skill but Ricardo just has better skill
i dont know if its my talent or not, but i can do same jab ricardo does without any effort. I have never practiced that punch nor i have never been to a boxing gym. This anime really made me realize my talents.
Nope. Like they said, Ricardo combines science and violence. He'd do something about it. And even if he doesn't you can't just keep it up the whole time or he'll win by points
