It was obvious for Mashima to win otherwise there was no point of him to exist in the story.

I could feel anger in Ippo's punch at the ending.

Wow what an episode! I was not expecting this outcome at all, really surprised Miyata lost and couldn't fill his promise to fight with Makunochi in the Finals.
So we've already seen 2 loses of the so called next greatest fighter Miyata, after this one and the training one with Ippo when he was just a beginner. And Ippo is unbeaten in his short career.

I really like it when series are unpredictable and dared and don't go for the foreseeable. It still leaves a lot to see in the future, so no worries I guess for a rematch btwn the two.

I don't know why, but I just had a hunch that Miyata is going to lose. While in the match Miyata started winning I actually started thinking that my hypothesis is false, I started to expect Miyata to come out as the victor. Well, great plot twist can't wait for Ippo to fight that creeper.

Feel sad for Miyata </3 hoping his leg injury won't affect his career.

Ippo never retaliate even when he was bullied, but when he sees Miyata getting bullied he explodeee >:)
Looking forward to see Ippo fk Mashiba up 😠😠

He lost the fight, didn't keep his own promise, essentially got his leg destroyed, and didn't regain consciousness even a bit after the match...but even with that bad leg, Miyata was actually strong enough to nearly beat Mashiba in several occasions if only he able to just get in one more punch. That very aggressive stare really took hold of his opponent's soul too.

Being fully aware of the scummy tactic Mashiba used and the consequences it entailed, I can see why Ippo's absolutely furious. I'd like to see him take revenge but I hope that he won't let the hatred take over.

Well, that was unexpected. I kinda like it, thought. Things like this makes the show less predictable and it's more exciting.

And that Ippo reaction at the end... I would be scared as hell if i had to fight him in that state.

And thus it began, the suffering.

This was one of the first episodes ever that really hit me.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

left aside the unexpected lost (though i honestly thought there would be twist like this) the best scene was miyata spirit arising, it made me chills.

ippo gonna need much more than he did 'till now to win.

F this dude. I really wish Miyata won. Ugh

I get the plot but I don’t like it. I would’ve rather the creepy manchild vs Ippo before the final

Fantastic episode. The way the match between Miyata and Mashiba is paced, with brilliant use of tension to keep the audience guessing as to who is going to really win is brilliant.
If you've seen the Rocky movies you can easily identify Mashiba as the Ivan Drago type, and Miyata as Ippo's Apollo Creed equivalent, so the result seems obvious, but the way the match actually plays out had me convinced it could truly go either way, and the execution of that narratively is nothing short of masterful.
