I loved it when he finally egged Date into the bet and the normal commentator was frantically signally the cameraman to cut XD

I think that the Dr was screwing with Ippo for the heck of it ;)

Good episode, however one thing is starting to annoy me. Each big fight Ippo goes into they always say his technique isn't nearly as good as his enemies. For some reason this is starting to annoy me. I just hope down the road his technique gets a lot better and they won't always be saying "we'll have to rely on your fighting spirit and guts". Things like this get old over time. However this fight is going to be epic. Probably the best yet. Vorg was a beast in the fight we saw earlier.

Ippo's training sesssion for this fight is on another level! Everything looks to have improved for ippo! hehe Loved that bed scene with Dr. Yamaguchi! :-))

Didn't like that little chat with Vorg and Ippo.. :-P He was being cocky and a douche.. what is he thinking? is he the only one with a goal? :-P Hope Ippo pounds him! :-D

The last part with Takamura being a guest announcer was hilarious.. Takamura has a talent to be so senselessly FUNNY! Can't help my self LOL :-))

It was the first time we saw the coach lacking of confidence...

The futon scene was so funny :P

Vorg really seem a great opponent. It will be fierce match!

Takamura at the end with Date was hilarious xD

800 meters in 3 minutes? Meaning he ran 48km/h, that's fast! Or did I miscalculate?

Yeah, with all the buildup this match should be good. Vorg is kind of annoying though. Ozuma and Mashiba were also fighting to make money for their family, but they didn't act like whiny/cocky bitches about it. Hope Ippo kicks his ass

Damn, Dr. Yamaguchi is so suggestive XD

Also, I didn't quite expected Volg to be a nice guy? No his appearance made me think so otherwise but it sure was surprise. But yeah, now I'm in bind to support whom in the match.

Saitama from OPM would probably question why Ippo still has hair while his trainings schedule is tougher than saitama's schedule.

That's nice of the coach to send the doctor to take care of Ippo's muscles! You can tell the coach is worried and cares so much for Ippo lol what a softie uwu

I hope Ippo's training pays off!

It's nice we got to know a little bit about Vorg instead of just heading right into the match. He seems like a nice guy but I don't buy his bit about 'boxing is dangerous!! you could kill someone!! punching people is scary O.O' like,,bich ?? weren't you the one that almost killed that one guy after the bell rang????? don't lie >.>

Watching Ippo's workout get more and more strenuous made me remember about Dr. Yamaguchi all of a sudden so it was a very pleasant surprise to see her reappear to give him a one-sided sexual tension-filled massage. Her explanation on how Kamogawa's training methods being expertly based on science was also really in-depth and interesting.

Volg's motivation for boxing being the simple desire to drink his mom's hot soup and see her well and healthy combined with Ippo's mention of his own mom made me feel very emotional to the point of having tears well up. Their fight's coming up and they're both on their A Game so I can't wait to see how it'll go!

As we get closer to the match with Volg we learn the gazelle punch from coach which is a very powerful tool to turn the tide of a match. It’s only useful with good timing though since it’ll catch the opponent off guard especially after a barrage of hits causing fatigue. Very nice episode Gazelle vs wolf match!

I like the side stories of the 2 boxers in the gym (cant remember their names) that ippo trains at, and i liked the introduction of the Russian boxer and the emotional value that the result of the match meant to him.
