Jose was beating the crap out of Joe when Carlos appeared by the ringside.
Joe seems to only see with one eye, and that is helping in his fight, I suppose that Jose was dodging hits by looking the opponent in the eye.

The match started and Jose was OP as fuck at the beginning, but Joe managed a successful counterattack with an assist from Carlos lol. Now both are fighting more or less on equal ground.

tfw José speaks in English but thinks in Japanese.

Joe got destroyed at first, but now he's doing really well even if I think that he already lost his mind, very worried.

I like how Jose's inner-monologues are in Japanese. I suppose having his deepest thoughts and feelings conveyed via less-then stellar English may not have been the most ideal way to do so.

The beginning was pretty one-sided, later Joe managed to pull off quite a few punches. Ah, every time Joe gets punched; I feel like I'm getting punched along with him, knowing that each punch worsens his condition, and since his condition is already abysmal...it just hurts.

The great fight began.

Pretty one-sided at the beggining with Jose giving Joe several corkscrew punches, but Joe countered with the help of Carlos.

His inner-monologue in english surprised me, and I guess his psychology is a bit shook by seeing the boxer he incapacitated.

One thing I'll say about Joe after watching him all this time: he reeeaaalllyyyy loves blocking with his face. It's one thing to fight like a wild animal, but it's another thing to have zero self-preservation.

Joe's punches are landing because he's blinded in his eye .. his balance is off .. therefore he's not hitting "straight on" as Jose assume and rolls his neck .. he's hitting at an angle because his left eye is his new equilibrium point

hence why he bit Danpei hand when putting the mouthpiece in , Joe is veering to the left which is allowing him to connect

Not just he started predicting his head movement but also pull of a corkscrew punch by instinct.

@Ulquiorra

I supposed that Joe's attacks were now "off" because his vision was blurry, and therefore Jose couldn't predict where they'd land anymore. Either way, super cool how the tables turned in his favor due to taking damage, a total reversal of what usually happens.

Jose went down a bit too easy, exposed? Nah, getting hit in an unexpected way will disorient anyone.

Joe's truly a natural boxer, his fists just know how to hit harder. It could also be that eye, he's probably aiming a bit more to the left now since he can see better with his left eye.

I have read 2 perfect chapters of manga; They are Usogui Chapter 203 and Onani Master Kurosawa Chapter 23.

That was a punchy start to the grand fight. I'm assuming Joe's one-eye being blurred kinda have something to do with his accuracy. His punches have become unpredictable and he ends up hitting where Jose tilts his head in defense because of the blur. It's weird seeing Jose being hit and getting knocked down like that though ngl. Like always, I'm rooting for Joe. Go Go Yabuki! > 12:38 AM, 08/11/24
