This is the best sports anime ever. It's a fun watch and creator really understands the sport he's portraying, it goes over everything: how people fall out of training, the ego behind fights, weight-cutting, the life of journeymen, the different "styles" boxers have, etc. The fights are some of the most entertaining I've seen in anime and it's literally just people punching, and it probably has to do with how much weight the show puts behind each one, not a single fight in this show is boring every single one is amazing. But the stuff inbetween each fight is good too, the slice of life + training that goes on is really entertaining and never goes on for so long that it leaves you bored waiting for the next fight. This show is perfectly paced and also one of the only animes that has ever genuinely made me laugh. If you're thinking of watching and need a reference I think its kinda like part 4 of jjba if it was an entire show. The only gripe I have with it is the result of ONE of the fights and that when it got picked up and revived again after a hiatus the animation lost some of the "sovl" in the newer stuff that was in the og anime. I highly recommend it even if you dont like boxing or sports anime in general. give it a try!
