Thanks for this. Gonna be my new work out song.


Felt as if I was watching a movie when this song started to play. Really fits this fight.

"Jesus" - Eagle

Clearly the highlight of this episode.

All I could think of when I heard him think of that was, "Oh crap!" XD When Takamura's follow-up is about to smash him down, the bell saved him! >_<
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Takamura really didn't have a detached retina. The manga actually elaborated on this issue a lot more and Takamura showed Ippo why Miyata was worrying too much and demonstrated why he was able to land a "clean hit." Miyata simply hit Takamura from a blind spot. In the manga, Takamura made Ippo sit in the same positions him and MIyata were while fishing and Takamura sucker punches Ippo the same way Miyata did just to prove his point that his eye had no problem and that he just didn't see the punch just like any other person most likely wouldn't.

Takamura was a bit of an ass this episode. Not sure if that headbutt was really accidental or on purpose, wouldn't be surprised if it was though since he was really pissed off.

takamura busted up that arrogant champ


Can you really accuse Eagle of being arrogant, though? Literally the only reason this fight happened at all was because he respected Takamura's strength.

I think the reason he does things like not focus on the cut as any professional would stems from his monologue near the beginning. He's never had a rival who would force him to give 100 percent, and a doctor stop would deny him the chance to do it.

^This. He wasn't being arrogant, just didn't want the best fight of his life to end by a crappy doctor stoppage.

A feel watching a greatest fight. Eagle showing a great rival. 7th round i hope good's punch's.
Eagle is stronger guy. Stronger than Hawk. I expected Takamura fall in the next episode, but his win in the 8th or 9th round.

"Jesus!" Hahaha.

I love how awesome Takamura's fights are, and I really appreciate the psychological side that Eagle brings into this one. I don't really get the booing about taking advantage of the cut. I would be doing the same thing Takamura's doing if I'm the one who caused the cut.

And the OST usage was pretty damn good too. This match has been great :D

Nice plan by Takamura to aim for the cut, at least it's not the Aoki ''Look-Away plan and hope for a lucky break''

The Eagle deserves to win this fight, he is so awesome.

Exploring the cut is like keep playing in soccer when an opponent falls injured in the field and you are free to score, specially in this case that Takamura caused the injury and the Eagle showed him a true fair play before.

Takamura should wait at least the round to end before trying to explore the cut... bitch!!

Fight is still consistently great. I agree it isn't nearly as good as the Hawk fight, but that's not saying much considering that's literally one of the best anime fights of all time.

Anyway, looks like the next ep will be the end of it. So far, I'd say this fight is about on the same level as Miyata's fight against the Australian guy. It doesn't have the emotional buildup or extremely intense moments like Kimura Vs Mashiba or Date Vs Martinez, but it's just really entertaining and fun to watch, with two guy's fighting fairly evenly and analyzing their opponents.

See, this is a much better lesson they are teaching! Going for the weak spot might seem like a dick move at first, but it is totally valid and shows determination to win. I hated how they justified actual cheating with two prior fights, but they got it right in this fight (as well as with weird murder steak dude).

I quite like this match, it's interesting! And Eagle really is like Ippo in a way... which might be his downfall. Since Ippo has plot armor, but this guy doesn't. :P

I laughed at the "Jesus" part. It wasn't even bad Engrish or anything, but it kind off took me off guard.

Haha "Jesus", I don't know about Americans' habit.. but I think that's pretty accurate

Just realized David Eagle have same seiyuu as Sasahara Ryohei.. That's why they're so similar xD
Takamura "hate" Ippo's guts apparently

Don't worry guys if he's injured he can heal himself.. oh wait that's different anime :P

Dammit Takamura really has a detached retina, I think that can kill his career :(
Eagle is too much of a gentleman, I agree with Takamura's point of view, he isn't there to make friends, he is there to get the Belt!

Don't tell me that I was the only one who noticed that one shot of the 3D CG audience lmaooooo

It's impressive to see that, despite his short temper, nearly every move of Takamura has a hint of strategy in it even if he says otherwise. I'm certain that the way his instincts lead him to making the most clever of fighting tactics was essentially the fruit of his training and experiences both in the ring and out of it.

I don't know how everything will turn out, but I hope that the Eagle will win.
Takamura landed so many sweeping blows off target. It just had to take its toll on his fatigue.

Hello,
I need some help, I've done some intensive research but can't find the song playing at the minute 12.00 of this episode.
It's a song that plays in the background of lots of episode but can't find it in the official OST...

It's the one playing here : https://sendeyo.com/show/bc75b1dc9b (psw : ippo)

Thanks!
