Another great fight! Its amazing Ippo is still standing with all those hits.. I'm a bit confused, the coach didn't say much expect "Do your best".. lets just trust the coach and ippo :-D hehe

Noticed a clear dip in animation quality in this episode. Lots of re-used shots.

Other then that, quite an intense episode!

That white fang was really powerful. Like the other coach said, it can litteraly end career.

The coach reaction at the end was really bad, Ippo is just heading in the same trap without knowing what to do. But as I said before, Ippo greatest ability is to addapt himself in bad situation, so he'll find something.

Holy shit, Vorg is really strong... I wonder how will Ippo beat his ultimate finisher ''White Fang'' :o

Great battle btw, definitely one of the best in the series so far but Sendo's will always be a favourite of mine.

I could have done without all the wolf references. I get they want to set vorg apart but it's really lame and forced imo.

This has been a cool fight. I like his motivations behind boxing but that aside I haven't cared too much for this back and forth. I'm ready to move on.
Personally I wanna see more Miyata...

The fight was cool for the first episode of the fight, but it dragged on afterwards. x_x

Seems like a pretty good fight so far. I agree, the back and forth got pretty repetitive and Vorg's fighting style just isn't that interesting. Still interested to see how Ippo wins

It's okay to not always have the answer as long as the cornerman is encouraging lol

Was a bit worried Ippo would lose at the moment Ippo was down. Hopefully he continues winning until he fights Date.

I like how this episode is playing out! It's very well done and a challenge for Ippo, which is good! Ippo fighting while unconscious was really cool to add to the fight!

Vorg's coach is really out to kill O.o I hope Ippo will be alright >~<

And I can't get over Takamura in his suit at the announcing table lol

Good fight. It might be Ippo first fall as proboxer.

Ippo unintentionally took a page out of Sendo's playbook by fighting while having a concussion and it looked like he was able to intimidate Volg a bit because of how unexpected that barrage he threw onto him was. That opportunity didn't last long though since his reveal of his finishing move had provoked the Wolf into baring its fangs and going all out.

Even Kamogawa is at his wits' end trying to come up of a way to counter the White Fang... Ippo's in big trouble.

If Ippo still manages to win...I'll surely disappoint in this anime.That's a really bad shonen trope if you ask me.

it feels to me that ippo used the new blow too early, hope the match won't end with just "willpower" as volg's trainer mocked it, though it's seems that's what gonna happen.

coach: "good luck" true words.

Vorg is pretty strong, and overall very good boxer, he was able to block the gazelle punch....

hopefully Ippo can still win, or the next time he uses the gazelle punch he can make it a direct hit and knock out Vorg.

Vorg is super tough, it did surprise me when he blocked the gazelle punch. This is a great fight so far, I was worried for Ippo when he got back up, but then the bell rang and I was relived lol.

Ippo was saved by the bell, he had some good hits into Volg but there were some good hits by Volg too. Sad that Ippo got knocked down by Volg and almost couldn’t recover. I think he still has the chance to win.
