| That fight was not as explosive as I thought it would be. Guess the OP shows it well. Brian Hawk fight was the best shit I've seen in Hajime no Ippo. |
| All of Takamura's big fights are epic and this is no exception. It definitely pumped me up. However, nothing holds a candle to Takamura's fight against Bryan Hawk in the 2nd season. That is still the golden standard in Hajime no Ippo. Bar none. I put Ippo's fight against Sawamura as the second best fight to that. |
 |
| I don't remember taka winning with a lucky punch.. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I love the relationship between Kamogawa and Takamura :) When the doctor wanted to stop the fight and then Takamura and Eagle roared the crowd to keep it going. Man, that was awesome. With 4 episodes left, I hope it doesn't get too boring, since they probably don't have enough episodes for anything major. |
| Great end to a great fight. People seriously need to stop complaining that it wasn't as good as the Hawk fight though. Yes, everyone gets that was the best fight in the series and nothing can top it. Just stop whining. I also really like Eagle as a character. Was just an all around nice guy and took the loss like a man. Also, no bullshit drama about needing to provide for his family or something. Now that Takamura's got 2 belts, I'm guessing the story won't focus on him as much in the near future. Another title fight this soon would feel pretty redundant |
| Great episode, you couldn't cut it any closer than that. |
 |
| Good fight, but wasn't nearly as amazing as the Hawk fight. I seriously thought Takamura would die in that fight, but this one it was pretty obvious that he was gonna win. |
| I don't like that kind of a win it this wan't like the fight with Hawk, the whole match was rushed not enough character development and that dirty headbutt was the most unexpected thing, I can now see why this season has less rating than the previous season. |
| Ah so Eagle lost :( But it was good match so I'm satisfied with the results. That ending was hilarious XD |
 |
| My heart melts...as the Coach said he is the best son of the world So cute!!! |
 |
| That was a great fight and Eagle was a perfect boxer and a respectable man, unlike Hawk. Kind of hard to believe how Takamura could do a comeback in his shape but I guess that just can happen in an anime :Z Takamura with 2 belts already in 2 dif categories. Wondering if the author is really going to have him get all 5 belts or if I'm going to see him lose at some point. I prefer the latter as it would be a good development for his character. Love his relationship with Kamogawa by the way. |
| Gonna be honest here, I liked this fight way more than the Hawk fight! I liked that one too, but this felt much more exciting and interesting. Takamura is a freaking boss, being able to beat the shit out of the champion while being blind! This new Hajime no Takamura is pretty much as exciting as the good old Hajime no Ippo. |
| This time because Takamura's opponent was such a gentleman I feel bad for him :( Also the satisfaction is smaller than vs. Bryan douche Hawk But still that was an awesome fight.. kinda feel like plot armor-ish Awww the best son! Aaaannddd it's ruined xD Aoki is ruined, but Kimura is safe! |
"Signature removed"   |
| Damn even blind Takamura is still a beast. He got his second belt, a step closer to conquering all six weight classes. Lmao those haircuts. |
 |
| Yay Takamura won! Poor Aoki! |

| David Eagle got all my respect, such a great sportmanship |
| This fight was just as good as Hawk's fight! |
   |
| Under different circumstances it would've been hard to root for Takamura. In this case it's just a stepping stone for him. Still respect for a Eagle, he's a very likeable character, even tho it's not necessarily sportsmanship, but rather his ego and his desire to prove himself that drove him. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The two fighters not letting their bloody injuries stop them from fighting was a very manly moment indeed! Takamura's trained for so long that the right moves have been ingrained into his body just like that, damn. That scene where Takamura handed over his championship belts to Kamogawa like he promised was a really powerful moment and the latter calling the former the best son he ever had sprung a tear in the corner of my eye~ |
 |
| That was so awesome! Takamura is insane! |
 |
| that was hell of match. the only thing missing for me from hawk match is, erm, violence, lol. just felt that takamura had little more trail and error against hawk. oh well, he fought well against eagle. and yeah, coach x takamura are nice father and son. |
| Well of course the Japanese Mary Sue of boxing isn't going to lose in the Japanese boxing manga... The only time I was actually interested in a Takamura fight was when the author made his opponent so absurdly unlikeable that just about anybody would want to see his ass get beat. |
| I wanted Eagle to win and show that Takamura is not invincible. In my opinion it would be nice to see Takamura face some adversity of having a loss, but I guess his character is supposed to show Ippo the perfect boxer. I still enjoyed the episode though, and the season so far. |
| it's crazy how much takamura trusts and cares about the coach, especially since he doesn't seem like the sincere type at all |
 |
| I didn't like this episode. Perhaps this is because I already understood in advance that Takamura would win and how he would do it, and therefore I was bored and absolutely not interested in watching it. It was too predictable, when Takamura began to fall on the ropes, I immediately realized that there would be a counterpunch. |
 |
| What can you say? is incredible |
 |
| insane fight till the end. the beast takamura, conquers yet again. good to see the chief happy but the ending was jokes lmao. gotta respect david eagle tho, real g. |
