I love it how they made their fight interesting.. at first I thought ippo's debut match would be a cinch but now we have a match!
Also it's ippo first fight on a real boxing ring.. felt nostalgic for ippo with the lights and crowd hehe

Well shit's got real. At beginning it looked like an lame opponent, but now, it seem like Ippo will have an interresting adversary. It was nice to see that other pro also have their problem and weakness. Well, we'll see if Ippo will be able to do devastating uppercut!

Yeah, I like how they did that too. Can never hurt to have character development! - Before this dude was introduced I 100% thought Ippo would win but now...I have no idea.

I would honestly be fine if this was the formula for the rest of the show, where we have character development for Ippo's opponents, and his odds of winning are slimmed down. Helps build suspense.

I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND.

I really liked how they showed how Ippo and his opponent trained before they fight, the characters is well fleshed out for a sports show. Now I'm really hyped for this fight :D

Can't wait to see the fight :) Was pretty exciting watching him walk up through the hall and up into the ring.

To be fair, the guy was being pretty arrogant for someone who's such a lazy bum. The only reason he actually got serious was because of what she told him.

I started thinking that Ippo training to much, as opposed to resting at the end, was going to work against him at some point but I might be overthinking it a bit.

I'm really excited for this match. LET'S GO IPPO!!

I liked how they have backstories for the side characters as well. I wonder if they are going to do any more of those.

I think I know why Ippo's weight is the same as Oda it's because of his manhood.

whoop whoop!

It's always cool to see the MC lighting up a fire in those around him C:

His Duo senpais when Ippo was training, Miyata, and now Oda ^^

Oda's gf is cute. He has better taste than Ippo when it comes to girls looks-wise haha. When he loses to Ippo, I hope he at least wins her back bc she's very loving and supportive. It's a waste to let her go :X

Seems like Ippo's first opponent has a total opposite personality than Ippo, can't wait for the debut match.

From the looks of It, I have a feeling that Oda would end up being the winner of the match because of the bigger focus on him and the fact that there'd be a big chance that he'll lose everything if he loses the match. His dignity, his livelihood, and even his girlfriend; Everything's on the line for him here. I hope that even if he does end up losing, they'll see how hard he had worked through his fighting.

Of course, I'm also rooting for Ippo to do his best here!

The direction for this episode was fantastic! Such tension being built before a fight this early into the series is unbelievably enjoyable to see. The pacing for the show as a whole has been immaculate.

All bets on Ippo!
