Really? didn't think you were allowed to use your elbows in boxing.

if Mashiba keeps fighting this way they won't have any other choice but to ban him from the sport :/

They can't use elbows for atacking, but they can use them to defend themselfs. :3
So its legal.

Mashiba already knew what Ippo was trying to do ever since he was saved by that first gong..that's why he knew to block with his elbow. I still don't like Mashiba!!

Man, that guy have a bag full of dirty trick. I mean, it's legal, but still, that must have hurt his hand so bad...

The first round was pretty much one-way until the very end.

New Op is good but not as great as the previous one. That Mashiba is a cheat as always for using his elbow as a shield.

I hope Ippo won't have mercy when pulverise his ass.

I like the new OP, I live for that Engrish. The ED sounds kinda weird though. The fight is exciting so far, but I really can't help but hate Mashiba. I hope Ippo knocks that fucker out HARD.

Ouch.. seems like something is broken, I wish it was Mashiba's elbow
But elbow's bone is way too strong compared to hand's

If only Ippo capable to do feints, it might be easier

Damn Ippo making us worry like that at the beginning, that gong at the first round has the worst timing.
Seems like Mashiba still has some dirty tricks, pulling that elbow block on Ippo.

Ippo trained like crazy to master dashing in order to get close to Mashiba and exploit his hitman stance's weak point but not being able to get a hit in at the one moment he reveal his strategy proved to be a deadly blunder because he was able to devise a move that could nullify his attack on the spot afterwards...

The opening is heat and it reminds me of a certain moment later.

Mashiba is an ass in the ring who does whatever it takes, but at work and private it shows that he's just lost. Pretty touching how he and Kumi take care of each other.

ippo was so close and then that dong.
and now mashiba was prepared for it, and ippo should had figured it out.
as i remember this hand injury going to make him suffer through this fight now...

great opening, i like the 1st much more, but still great.
and nice ending, might like this one better than the first.
