| that was unperdictable |
 |
| That was really unexpected, damn. |
| I was expecting Miyata to win via some miracle or something... However, seeing him lose is quite nice too ^_^ |
| noooooo~ theyre kidding me T_T i didnt expect that at all |
| I was half expecting Miyata to lose, but it was still amazing, especially at the end. Damn I love this series. |
 |
| Miyata....... |
 |
| Miyata got owned! Didn't expect it, the final is going to be interesting. :D |
| Guys! I thought that Miyata would win even with the injured foot! Was not waiting for this result! Really, I adore this anime! |
 |
| that bastard Mashiba dam it |
 |
| really there's no reason for Mashiba to exist if he wasn't going to defeat Miyata. wonder how Ippo will prepare for the Flicker Jab. |
| What a surprise O_O turned out the opposite of what I was expecting to happen, although I'm kind of glad I did because what I predicted would have had an obvious outcome but with this it opens up a lot of other opportunities, the finals should be really interesting now =O |

| Aww Miyata. Good fight. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| That wasn't really surprising... I feared they were going to pull a RockyIV... plus that chick was there for Mashiba me thinks and not Miyata and since she hasn't played her part yet it was natural that Miyata would lose... but damn am I disappointed... |
| Ippo's punch at the end was really scary, I hope he puts the same power in it in the fight against Mashiba. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| That damn cheat....Ippo is going to kill him. |
 |
| Dumb referees |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Totally depressing episode :-( couldn't even watch the next episode after this tragic fight.. i hope Miyata comes back to fight with vengeance! |
   |
| Dry your eyes folks. |
| ever since his foot got injured i expect him to lose this is what sport are, when you're injured you lose half of your ability love this show for being realistic :) |
 |
| Mashiba is a douche. |
| I can't believe Miyata lost...ugh I feel bad for him cuz he couldn't keep their promise |
 |
| That last punch by Ippo O.o that shit could kill a whale ffs. |
| This mashiba kid and his underhanded tactics is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! TRUELY OUTRAGEOUS. |
 |
| I didn't think Miyata was going to lose. IPPO IS PISSED! Kick his ass Ippo! |
| Any idea whats the name of the OST when Ippo was infront of the door to Miyata's room and saw him ? It was also played in the next episode right in the beginning when Ippo was thinking about Mashiba. |
| "As long as I am alive you will never make it to the top of the Featherweight class" - It's time for Mashiba to back up that statement. Even though Miyata lost, I still hope he can box. It would be a shame if he couldn't. |
| Mashiba... What a gay butt, winning by cheating, that's something to be proud of! I hope Ippo kick is ass. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Whoa, this was probably one of my favorite episodes yet. I can just FEEL the tension Ippo has towards Mashiba. Can't wait. |
| Oh man, Ippo's fuckin' pissed! Also, I 90% expected Mashiba to win this one. If not, then there was no need to include his character into the story. |
"You either die an Ashita no Joe, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Naruto."  |
| Quite sad that he lost and that because that shit head cheated... Knowing Ippo he'll beat him up like there's no tomorrow! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| yeah all sports anime are gay, including this one (but its a good thing, i mean) i expected miyata to lose mostly because its a common trope in sports anime: main guy's rival or next team faces one before their destined match and another mystery team/person wins instead so now the main guy has to face new team/person ah well~ i hate mashiba btw lol why are the characters so ugly like, outside and inside |
| T_T I can't right now. |
 |
| Like a kick to the gut that was! |
| I cried as if someone died, this was the best fight so far! I don't even know how do I feel. This will be hard on both Miyata and Ippo. |
| My Anime List | |
| "Sorry for not keeping our promise" T_T Ippo is understandably pissed off at Mashiba. KICK HIS ASS M8. mayukachan said: yeah all sports anime are gay, including this one (but its a good thing, i mean) Bromance =/= gay feelings. Just because some people see it that way doesn't mean it is -_- |
 |
| I was really hoping Miyata to win... Too sad :( |
 |
| Great episode. Turns out my prediction was right, although I didn't believe in it very much, still very unexpected. With 51 more episodes left, they could either milk this rivalry with Mashiba and save Ippo's fight with Miyata for later episodes, or they can flesh out the Mashiba feud in the coming episodes and do something with Miyata after. Idk, it depends on Miyata's condition. |
 I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND. |
| =( Poor Miyata. Hoping he'll get to fight Ippo someday. He must! |
 |
| Damn, I really wanted Miyata to win. That spirit he showed at the end, Just Wow. I hope Ippo will beat the heck out of Mashiba in the final. |
 |
| Miyata put up such a good fight too. Great episode. |
 |
| WTF! The whole point of this tournament was to know who's stronger ippo or Miyata and now we are not even gonna see them fight -__- |
| wow... that was totally unexpected :O |
