That match was awesome. Right in the freaking face.

Aoki getting beat up does not look fun though. For a guy with a weird haircut, he fights pretty badass. Dat sweat though lol. 5/5. This episode really bounced back into action and I thought it was awesome.

Skill wise, the only person I'd ever put my money on over Takamura is Martinez (who would still get slaughtered due to the huge weight class difference, but just assuming they were ever the same weight class, then I could see Martinez handing Takamura his ass)

Sucks they skipped over the story arc over the concern of Takamura's eye.

Hopefully the anime won't edit out the return of a certain character from season 2

The two fights were hilarious, especially Aoki's fight (and him 'preparing' for his fight). All in all an enjoyable episode. The next seems like its gonna be good too.

Now that I remember, I think some versions of the game Papaya did have the look away. At least his version wasn't a total screw up like Takamura's.

I think Kimura could have won as he said if he figured Eleki's weakness on the first half of their match. Aoki on the other hand, well it was a typical Aoki fight. LOL

Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Love how people are wanting a Sendo match over Miyata. Let me join that camp, every match of him bores me to death. I'll take our fighter type boxers (Ippo, Sendo, Takamaru) any day over those overhyped boring technique types.

Aoki and Kimura still screwed though.

Typical attitude for people who dont know anything about boxing. Brawling infighters are a dime a dozen, Miyata, Itagaki and Kimura are the only people on the show who actually have high levels of skill. Mashiba too.

Ippo and Sendo get away with wins because of strength and stubbornness, not precision and technique, which is what I am a big fan of.

Not surprising though, real boxing is the same way. Everyone wants a KO in the 2nd round from a KO artist, but I prefer counter punchers, outboxers and defensive fighters. Truly the sweet science.

Typical Aoki and Kimura, their fights were complete jokes. I hate that they tie all their matches. Ties are very uncommon in boxing relatively speaking and it just cheapens the impact of the fights tbh

Ehh, these fights honestly weren't that funny, or good at all. The joke was funny at first, but it lasted way too long and just got annoying. Filler padding at it's best.

Also, I find it weird that we're already basically up to the Takamura fight when Eagle literally just got introduced last episode. This lack of buildup is really worrying me, considering Takamura Vs Hawk had like 5 episodes of buildup, and then a 4 episode fight. My expectations for this fight really aren't high at all.

Either way, I hope Miyata's fight is atleast entertaining and not a stupid overly long gag fight like Aoki and Kimura's

As expected, their fights were really only there as a joke... which is a bit of a shame. That double look-away was funny as hell though! It's kidna boring that they get draws so often. Kimura and Aoki can still be the "average" boxers of Kamogawa gym if they lose but put up a good fight, or kind of weasel their way to victory. That would make for more interesting outcomes I think.

Anyway, I am HYPED for Miyata's big fight! I hope it's better than against that Aussie, that fight was kinda lame.

Since all of the focus is on Miyata and Takamura, it wasn't surprising that Aoki's and Kimura's fights were more or less glossed over. Both of them getting a draw was for the best since it'd suck if they lost even if their new hair-dos would've been hilarious and if they end up winning, there wouldn't been enough time for them to bask in their victory.
