| Hawk's Boxing style kind of reminds me of Steve Fox from Tekken. |
| Oh boy what a match and it's only going to get more intense from this point, I really hope he'll win though! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| The part where Hawk sped up and it looked like a bunch of hawks flying out was pretty awesome. Takamura is getting messed up... |
Kira said: Hawks fighting style reminds me of Tekken's Steve Fox. The weird bending and awkward punching style is very similiar, wonder if there was an inspiration from one to another. Very cool ep, though I gotta agree on the speed exaggeration being out of place heh. Lmao you're 100% right he does fight like Steve Fox xD |
| Damn, Takamura getting fucked up. So Hawk basically outclasses him completely in strength and speed, and his fighting style is completely random. Realistically there should be no feasible way for Takamura to win this, but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. Good fight so far. Also, Hawk's got the best villain laugh I've ever heard |
| Great episode again, the most challenging opponent. |
 |
| Hawk is really a beast. But we all know Takamura's gonna win this time |
 |
| Very intense ep. Love the originality of Hawk's style. It reminded me to a certain videogame character. Feeling this will be the best fight of the series yet. |
| If only I can get a dollar for everytime they said "You can't win" and then proceed to win in anime xD Wait you can fight like that in boxing? First time I know about it I thought it's not allowed Losing, gaining confidence, then proceed to lose and losing confidence Hey all three anime cliche fight steps cleared! Now onto the winning process xD |

| That bryan Hawk is trule a wild savage, seems like this wil turn into a battle between wild street brawling vs wild boxing. |
 |
| Takamura is losing. That is something new, |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I swear the more this season continues, the more it resembles HxH (even though this was made before 2011). It's like I'm watching two Nen users going at it with each other. You can see the resemblance when Takamura and Genji have their aura showing. Also the music is quite similar in both shows when a character is in a fight. |
| It almost looks like Takamura's bitten way more than he could chew no matter what he tries to do. It'll definitely require more than his all if he wants to stand a chance against a fighter that's as unorthodox as him. |
 |
| Hawk is such a freak, I hope Takamura KILLS him! |
 |
| gotta admit, hawk is strong fella and have interesting style. still wish him to lose. takamura on the other hand, if he uses his strongest punches already, i wanted to see it more in the animation, and claiming that hawk is just strong isn't satisfying, first series handled that fine. this series animation director is screwed up anyway. the only thing keeping tense here is the story... |
| I've never really cared about the conclusion of the fight but I really want Takamura to show who is the real badass in the ring. |
| hawk's flexibility is insane, takamura momentarily managed to wipe the smug off his face but i can't believe takamura got knocked down. |
 |
| This fight is pretty sick. These guys are the peak of the world. This is completely different to what I imagine Ippo vs Martinez will eventually be like. Martinez has so much class and efficiency, whereas Hawk is like a wild monster. Takamura's speed is awesome to watch. But unfortunately it looks like Hawk is a bit faster D: |
