last half was kinda boring, felt like they were dragging things out so that the fight would last into the next episode whether or not it needed too :/

Badass fight, the exchanging of blows between Ippo and Sendo was brutal.

Sendo is truly amazing.

I love when the whole stadium was cheering "RO-AH-KEY!" and theres a short glimpse of Takamura plugging his ears XD

Two cliffhangers in a row. Ippo appeared to have won, only for his opponent to get up.

That's a crazy fight! Probably one of my favorite episode so far. Really intense.

That was a genius idea from Ippo, to mock him and destabilize Sendo with his own ultimate technique.

But Sendo won't lose so easily. They were in rage mode at the end.

I wonder if Ippo can lose is first match? Ippo seem to have the advantage, but this has often show Ippo in bad situation and suddenly turning it at his advantage. Also Sendo is at home. Ippo will lose someday.

Yeah, this fight is pretty lackluster compared to Mashiba. It's still great, but there's too much filler padding

The fight should have been over. Sendo went down and the ref got to 9 and stopped. He had time to sit up, hear the kids, reflect, reach for his mouth guard, put it in his mouth, stagger on one knee and then FINALLY stand. Rigged, lol.

Some nice exchange of blows.
Seeing Sendo and Ippo giving their all to defeat the other makes me realize how freaking strong Takamura is for defeating Sendo with ease in a sparring match.

fvck them kids lmao
it's amazing how evenly matched they are. the only advantage Sendo has is that he's on his own turf with the whole audience cheering for him. the all out brawl at the end still leaves me guessing who's gonna win this fight.

Sendo might look like he has a higher destructive power than Ippo but this is a match between people that are essentially equal in both skill and durability. Even I didn't expect them to trade so many blows to each other. This most intense fight yet which is the case for almost all matches in this series and I really hope that things will get more and more intense later on like this.

The crowd cheering and reacting so loudly as each move makes a hit gives me chills!

What a fight. The fierce exchange of sick looking blows and the fact that both are loving it. Favorite so far.

+ The animation is just incredible, phenomenal distortions and sense of weight
