| one word.. AMAZING |
notestinet said: one word.. EPIC fixed man i always thought at some fights that he will never win and he win them at the end,so i was just saying that he will win at the end like always but he didnt :( |
 |
| Best episode so far. Everything about this match was amazing. I'm almost speechless. |
 |
| Clearly the best episode so far, what an amazing fight. This episode was just an all out brawl of guts. |
| Just...wow. A loss is something Ippo could use, but that doesn't change the fact that this was an amazing match. Both men were past their limits and still managed to hold on. I almost thought Ippo was going to win too. Oh well, now it's time to see how this will affect him. |
 |
| Easily the best episode yet. |
| FRIGGIN' AWESOME. I seriously thought that Ippo could still make a comeback, but Kamogawa knew best. This episode was the best ever. Can't wait to see how this plays out. |
 |
| Oh. My. God. I am well and truly speechless. My mouth was wide open and my eyes glued to the screen the whole time. What an outstanding episode. I wonder where it's going to go from here... |
| O_O Ippo's first loss, but seriously what an unbelievable match from both sides they just went all out but man Ippo tried so hard ><! |
| Epic Episode, too bad Ippo didn't win. |
| An episode I'll always remember, Incredible fight. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I almost started tearing up when Ippo got up and was looking for Eiji. D: But it was a really good match, one of the best ones. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| It was a spectacular fight! You never knew what that could happen! Little sad that Ippo didn't win, hope that he get a new chance to fight Date again later :P |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
| wow.... this was just amazing. But ippo lost? Man that kinda sucks, well you gotta loose some days dont you? I was expecting a really awesome epic comeback but oh well. |
     |
| HOLY SHIT!!! Did not see that coming at all. My god that was epic. |
 |
| Wow, wow, wow, wow, he lost? |
| A sad lost.. and it was so close.. but it wouldn't be realistic if the main hero always win.. I expect ippo to make a SUPER comeback after this fight.. :-) |
   |
| About time HE lost. |
  |
| He finaly lost... |
| Best, most unexpected turn and epic episode I've seen so far. But ippo vs Sendo still is my favourite fight. Second champions final will probably be ippo vs Miyata |
 .. |
| Ippo losing?! It was a terrific match! |
 |
| omg :[ |
 |
| Well, this was the best fight so far for sure. But I still can't get over the fact that he lost. |
 |
| So, Ippo finally lost |

| that was bs, he could have totally won that match if he wasnt so stupid, i understand that they need him to lose at one point for the plot's sake but this was kinda forced, he had the advantage and lost it because of his own stupidity. i would accept it if he was overwhelmed but he did this to himself i cant really sympathize with him. |

I dont think you get boxing, boxing isnt about who can hit he hardest, boxing is a psychological match, the person who shows the least fear and knows the most strategy will win, ippo had no idea that date was that injured and date did a good job at hiding it, ippo thought whatever he was doing was useless, he got pcyhed out and lost his will for a shirt while, and before he got it back he was almost completely unconscious and was too late |
| Wow Ippo finally lost Wow..just..wow..speechless |
 |
| I very much liked that ippo lost this fight. He seemed a bit like an odrinary overpowerd main protagonist, even though every one of his matches were close and you got a lot of screentime seeing him train (what kinda takes away the ovverpowerd feeling) but still... i assume that Date gets the World Titel now and they will fight again, but whatever.. was a pretty good episode |
| Holy fuck. What a match. It was so hard to tell who was going to win in the end, I kept flip-flopping my decision. On one hand I thought "Hmm, there's no way Ippo could be champ at episode 57 when this series has 75 episodes. Also, Ippo is due for a loss.". On the other hand I thought "A lot of pro boxers in real life have amazing records, many with 40+ wins and under 5-10 losses and some have gone undefeated up to the time of their first title (like Takamura). So maybe the mangaka wanted to do the same thing with Ippo.". Man, it was hard to decide on who would win this (in the end I decided Date would win) but it was a fucking awesome fight nonetheless. batossai said: that was bs, he could have totally won that match if he wasnt so stupid, i understand that they need him to lose at one point for the plot's sake but this was kinda forced, he had the advantage and lost it because of his own stupidity. i would accept it if he was overwhelmed but he did this to himself i cant really sympathize with him. You have no idea what you're talking about. |

| As I thought, he would lose. At one point, he had to lose. It will be hard for his self-esteem, but in the end, it will make him stronger. That fight was way too intense, I was sweating xD The OST choice in the middle of the episode was really interresting, it really emphasized the desperation of the moment. |

| Mother of God it kept swaying from Date winning then Ippo winning. Wtf. I am astonished. Best fight yet? |

| holy fuck he actually lost, that fight was pretty incredible and the way they fool you out into think ippo was gonna make a comeback with the 2nd op playing is genius, you get a huge ooooh shit feeling when the opening abruptly stops |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

Even if you could guess he was gonna lose you would get hopeful in that moment. |
| WOW! That was AMAZING! Simply EPIC! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Damn that ending :| That's the first loss after his first ever match! Man really sad he didn't win and I really hope Ippo is actually okay! Let's see what's next though. |

| best episode such an intense fight |
