Just to confirm the inverted training is indeed to strengthen your neck. Ippo is a in-fighter (mean close range fighting style). He'll getting more opportunity to get hit. Strengthening you neck reduces your head swinging when getting hit. This reduce the opportunity getting concuss.

The real niche of this show is just how much it shows the grueling training and lifestyle of pro boxers. Ippo never just wakes up and gets good because of off-screen reasons or determination.
Every drop of his sweat is shown and explained. That is what makes it so amazing to me, its very inspirational (at least to me).
This show doesn't just talk effort, friendship and victory as virtues to uphold, it shows you in full detail.

If you pay attention Takamura dick gets a baby cry and Ippo gets an elephant trumpet.

YES. And when we say "every", we mean "every" in the most literal sense possible. That really helps the fights feel meaningful and not drawn out for the sake of it.

ngl, Ippo having a big dick is one of the funniest running gags in this show. Also, the sea creature you were thinking of is the mantis shrimp.
