Pretty decent manga, the story wasn’t to great and a little dull but the boxing matches were really great and awesome especially the final one😻👌🥊🥊

Joe is back and ready to rumble, crushing his opponents on the ring! So, is it all the way up from now on for him, winning victory after victory by KO, challenging and defeating mighty boxers, up until attaining the championship? Well, not quite! This manga is not as simple as ROCKY series, even if the Italians renamed the anime to ROCKY JOE in order to cash-in on Stallone's blockbuster!
As it was revealed in the previous issue's finale, due to the trauma Joe has now a serious flaw in his fighting technique, which, if revealed, can cost him a lot. Especially when the gym owners, furious over Joe's continuing trashing of their players, form a conspiracy to destroy his career by putting him against boxers far above his league, able to spot all his limitations. Will their nefarious plan prove successful? Read the tenth issue of this amazing series and see for yourselves!
