It jumps straight to a major match after a very quick rundown of events after winning the Japanese belt and hints of the upcoming matches. The first episode of Ippo was quite good.

Don't bet on it. It's likely to go on for at least 10 years at this rate. Maybe even more if the author is even alive by 20 years. “I usually prefer for the ridiculously long manga to finish first, so…we’ll see what happens.”

Could be good, bad or just crazy on its own terms, depending on what the heck happens. I am fairly interested in Hajime no Ippo but...as far as ridiculously long (or just ongoing) manga adaptations go, I usually prefer for the ridiculously long manga to finish first, so...we'll see what happens. Last sports-centric anime, assuming insane stakes gambling (Kaiji) doesn't count as a sport, that I watched and actually enjoyed was good old Touch.

It's more of a slice of life with badass boxing segments than anything. WHY an Ippo sequel you ask? Because it kicks ass as is hilarious? Ippo is simply one of THE best sports anime ever.

(i did it in one week). plus, you can watch raws, so you won't have to suffer like the rest of us waiting for subs every week :(. you should definitely watch hajime no ippo, it’s one of the best, if not the best shounen title ever. it’s simple, pure, addictive fun, the characters are awesome, the humour is great, and the matches are so intense you’ll shit bricks (or whatever :P). but anyway, it’s definitely a classic title, and i guarantee you’ll finish it in less than 2 weeks.

That's maybe a little less than half-way through the published manga volumes. Ippo has a bunch more title defenses, and the other characters all have matches. It does feel like the overarching plot has stagnated a bit, but the individual matches should still make for some interesting episodes.

And the first season adapted some 30 of them. So yes, there's still plenty of things going on... I guess... (Didn't read it myself). I am especially amused to see that the only thing most people retained from the first episode is the robot voiced by Lelouch. It just shows how interesting everything else can be. Yet it still works : even I'd watch the series only for that robot guy. Believe it or not, the Hajime no Ippo manga is 85 volumes long. And the first season adapted some 30 of them.
