I think the next arc will be about Ippos return! It seems that every part in HNI follows a pattern even down to the order in which the main characters have their matches. So if this goes the same as Dates arc, after he lost to Ricardo, Ippo had his title defenses, so this should be the point where he begins to come back officially. Love your videos 👏🏻
One fight I’d love is Miyata vs Guevara for miyata’s OPBF title. Similar to woli, Guevara levels up showcasing more of his moveset and with Miyata draining himself and not caring it looks posed for Guevara to pull the upset. Obviously miyata wins as he’s able to find the demon inside wanting to prove himself as better than ippo as he uses it as a measurement of the 2’s greatness. Or Guevara gets the win, shocking Miyata into moving up and acts as escalation for ippo to return and once ippo gains the JBC he fights and wins in the rematch.
I've been thinking that maybe after the current fight he would return because I feel a connection between Ippo and Wally, but maybe it could be when Sendo and Ricardo fight
It should make sense. He was entrusted by Date and his son that he would take Ricardo down and his friends was hyping him up. I think it would just be over if Ippo beats him
