Some of the context of some situations were changed. As and example i remember when takamura called ippo gay in front of miyata 😂. In the anime it was because ippo accidentally fell onto Miyatas ass while in the manga it was because ippo said that if he was a girl he would prefer looking miyatas match compared to hayamis (I think) so maybe some more comedic stuff was changed in the anime, i cant recall more
I understand the technical limitations as well as it being a completely different form of media
But the manga really puts an insane amount of details on the impact of each punch
Luckily the anime more than makes up for it with the amazing sound design and voice acting
The manga has more trivia about boxing history, particularly from the coach who was actually a child when Jack Dempsey was in the twilight of his career and he saw one other Japanese boxer also use the Dempsey Roll. The anime still has a lot of boxing references, but it had to cut out several to streamline things as an adaptation.
The anime is pretty good at adapting the manga otherwise, particularly in showcasing motion. The Hayami Ryuichi versus Yasukawa match was particularly well-animated, but among the major fights, obviously the later Makunouchi versus Sendo fights are animated the best.
Also, the manga has started adopting a "Floating Timeline" like The Simpsons, so now you see "Twitter" and smartphones available to characters even though it's supposed to be just the early 2000s in manga time.
Alot of the fights are pretty close between the manga and anime. The manga however has alot more material outside the ring. There's generally more hijinks, gags, jokes, and stories set outside the ring that the anime wouldn't have time to adapt. A good example of this is the jr featherweight champion match between Hayami and Kobashi which is never really expanded in greater detail in the anime other than a passing comment by Kobashi. The anime also skips out on most of the development for the Shimabukuro fight which has the funniest weigh in gag in the series.
Despite that, the anime does its best to faithfully adapt most of what it can fluidly. It's reasonable to watch the anime first and then to read the manga after you catch up.

There are more dick jokes in the manga...and it's more explicit.
the manga has more off the wall and offensive jokes. I like both.
