| This was the best fight in the entire Hajime no Ippo series (all 3 seasons). This fight was worth all four episodes and the rest of the buildup episodes. There was no greater archenemy and challenge than Bryan "Motha F'n" Hawk. |
 |
| Wow! That was the most epic count to ten ever hahaha. Let's go Takamura! |
| HE DID IT!!! TAKAMURA FOR THE WIN So damn epic. I was counting and shouting all the way through XD |
 |
| HOLY SHIT THAT WAS EPIC!!!! This is my favorite fight in the whole series next to the Ippo vs Sendo second fight. whew, ALL HAIL TAKAMURA, THE FUCKIN KING!! |
| No words can even describe how godly this fight was. This was literally everything I could have hoped for from this fight. The fact that these stupid elitist weeboos are bitching about this fight literally makes me wanna kill myself. I dont care what the difference between this and the manga was. As an anime only watcher, this was amazing. And to all the people bitching about the special effects, guess what. It's a fucking shonen anime. The series has always taken liberties with realism, and for it to finally just have an all out fucking insane fight like this was awesome. seriously, 11/10 |

 |
| Impressive episode. Now wonder if any other fight could top this. |
 |
| That was one hell of an episode Takamura nailed him. |
| HE DID IT. THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN IS FINALLY A CHAMPION!!!!!! He truly deserves the belt for the strongest man in the world. |
 |
| Loved this fight. I can see the criticism some people have, but I think saying this fight was "meh" or boring is completely overboard lol, it was still epic, even if the first season or the manga had more grit. |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
BAM that was awesome. my favourite fight so fare! He is just badass. Very emotional especially with the coach that he should put the belft on...soooo cute!! Man so fare I have not found the pic he puts the arm around the coach before he went out to the second last ( as fare as I remember) round!! |
 |
| Good fight, but in the whole I expected more when it started, in fact, I expected this to be the best up until now. I find it hard to swallow that Takamura would come back from that extreme beating he took up last ep and at the beginning of this one. That can't be humanly possible. We're talking about Takamura yes, but still. Hawk got its dose of hits too but not as hard as the damage he inflicted him and could only do the extreme dodge and throw a kickback. Then it was all over. Guessing the author wanted to show that all the training Hawk didn't put in, the overconfidence & the few respect he had for the sport made him lose this battle when he found someone with a tremendous determination, passion and heart apart from outstanding strenght and skills. Either way, I'm glad to see Takamura winning the world title :P As I thought, out of the mains he's like the invincible type of character. He's the strongest of the show. Wondering if he will have a 'boss' opponent again in the future and if I will see him losing some day. Also if Hawk will have a reapparance. |

| One of the best fights in the series so far. But stil i am not certened to give this season a 8, its more like a 7. |
| They FINALLY adressed the super slow count by the referee! :P I really liked this fight and it was great to see that asshole of a champion vomiting blood at the end. Takamura deserves this victory! |
| What a nice referee, counting it down slowly just for him to get up and be killed Oh the irony from Hawk's secondo "The only good thing you can do is throw the towel" Which he didn't "You can't win" Nice word :P That was a very satisfying ending Awww I just wish Takamura can just hit him one more time xD Rest in pieces and parts definitely not in peace |
"Signature removed"   |
| Holy shit, that smashing the head of Hawk into the ground felt satisfying. Damn that beast mode completely obliterated Hawk. Our hero Takamura just became World champion junior middleweight!!! |
 |
| This match was absolutely amazing, everything was brilliant! |
 |
| yeyyyy he won. very solid climax |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I'm glad Takamura is alive and he actually won.Previous episode got me a feeling he's going to die... |
| I hate everyone equally |
| This match was awesome in so many aspects 5/5 Congrats to Takamura for conquering his first weight class. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Takamura was the bigger monster between the two all along and the last few moments of the match looked so one-sided that I couldn't help but feel bad for Hawk a bit! Kamogawa gym having its first world champion, damn! |
 |
| Takamura is now the world champion! I loved seeing Hawk's bloodied up face! One of the best fights in all of anime if you include the buildup episodes tbh.. |
 |
| story speaking, this match was the best this season so far (was on it's end after all lol). direction speaking, it was horrible. the director should just get fired, or move to another sport genre anime, not hajime no ippo. the split blood scene reminded me too much 300 lol. and the whole takamura "animal" mode could be the highlight of the episode. but no, they chose the highlight is hawk frightening but now thinking straight about being "the king",really big change of character without much depth compare to other characters, being the highlight of the episode. and i won't even start talking about the director not convincing me that takamura is revived from the death and such. epic and all, i believe that if i will read the manga i will see different story going on. but the director just chose to do the same comeback thingy of HnI. i have more things to complain. but the important things is - i enjoyed this epic story, but lowering this series score. hope the "rise" will have better director lol. |
| That was pretty amazing, I liked the way Takamura looked when he was unconscious kinda JIN from Tekken, an overall amazing episode that kept me on pins and needles the entire time. |
| TAKAMURA IS THE FUCKING GOAT. he looked insane when he had murderous intent. but i liked when the chief was helping him get his signature look back. but he finally did it!!! also, i honestly thought hawk's eyes were gonna pop out of his head a couple times lmao. |
 |
| Fantastic episode. Makes me wish Takamura was the main character. And yes, Im gonna say it, the best fight so far. |
| :v |
| LET'S GOOOOOO!!! Ridiculous episode. Legendary fight. My goodness!! We have a new world champ. So hype hahah |
