Is that image from Ashita no Joe? It looks familiar

It did remind me of Ashita no Joe but I don't recognize anyone in that scene. A lot of 60's Manga/Anime had that look going for it as well. The art style also has an og Cyborg 009 and Lupin III look to it as well.

EDIT: I google lensed the image. It is Ashita no Joe lol.

Oh wow. Good find. Google lens' response only associated the image with Ashita no Joe so I just trusted it lol.

For you anime nerds out there that havent heard of Joe, I highly reccomend it. People like to compare it to Hajime no Ippo on the boxing basis, but my analysis is that Hajime no Ippo is a manga/anime about boxing, and Ashita no Joe is a manga/anime that is a character study of the events and lives of various characters in 1960's post-war Japan that happens to have boxing as a central anchoring point. Think Mad Men, but having the set and setting I just described above.
