#HajimenoIppo2 ep8: so now it's Ippo's turn. That was by far the most brutal fight in this series. #anime 

Date was torn apart piece by piece. It's amazing, all that effort and fury and Ricardo wasn't even scratched. As if Ippo's spar wasn't enough of a wake up call, seeing the person who beat him, who he looked up to destroyed like that has got to have an effect.

With the explosive opening that this series has had, I'm anxious to finally see Ippo fight.
