I guess it makes sense to send Vorg back in terms of long term plot. It leaves Sendo who is popular in Japan for Ippo to overcome, and leaves Vorg as a potential character to invoke when Ippo is on the world stage, but man, Vorg had Sendo beat. ;)

Although I really like Sendo I wanted Vorg to win. Damn those cheating judges and that ref. What a touching episode though, Vorg's departure was so sad. I think a tear even escaped my eye.

It felt like that to me too, but I felt like Sendo didn't accept it. You could see on his face that he wasn't content with getting all the attention, and he tried to make up for it by going up and talking to Vorg. But he can't just deny the belt, or he would not be a boxer either. Plus he had no idea that Vorg was being dropped from the gym, which would've made a difference too. Sendo's a good guy, and he did what he could.

They always know when to play the right music... that one song when Vorg left, it was the same song when Gero-michi left, and I listen to it on my iPod a lot. That song just has something in it that fits the sadness of separation perfectly.

Otherwise, that was freakin' sad... I really would have liked Vorg to win. Biased judges SUCK. But they couldn't have done that if it was a large difference or if Vorg KOed Sendo.

Vorg will make a comeback later on! He has to! D;

So Sendo becomes Champion, Volg loses his gym sponsorship and gets sent back to Russia.

Poor Volg ): I hope we'll see him again.

Sendō should have refused the belt. He knows he didn't win. If I were him, I would have taken a microphone and admonished the referee and judges, then left the belt on the canvas.

It's revolting to see the extent to which exceptionally biased people are blind to reality. They only see what they want to see if the situation is under their control.

I hope Volg meets with success in his future endeavors. He really deserves it.

This was really depressing, regardless of Volg losing due to referee mistake.
I hated how he received zero support from the crowd, he had an awesome fight!!
It is really bad and meaningless to oppose someone so badly just because he is a foreign, having no fans at all just because he is a foreign, that is certainly hard.

Volg was an amazing character, and from the farewell I am assuming he is not showing again, this made me sad :(

So annoying how Volg got screwed over by the Judges after such a hard fought match for both of them. Then to top it off his gym terminates his contract so he has to leave Japan. Really? Volg, Sendo and Ippo are obviously the top 3 Featherweight boxers in Japan with Volg being a bit better than Sendo due to his skill yet he still gets screwed over just because the foreigner doesn't bring in the crowds....What a waste of talent.

Who says he accepted it? The fact that he wouldn't raise his arm, his annoyed expression, and telling Volg that he didn't feel like the winner so he'll give him top priority as challenger should be enough to show that he was pissed off and displeased at the Judge's decision. It's not like he has the authority to make them change it.
