#HajimenoIppo2 ep24: THE best fight of the entire series. Hawk was a champion; Takamura is a BEAST. #anime 

It took everything Takamura had, including all that hate to turn things back around. I thought it was pretty damn funny how Aoki and Kimura and Ippo and even Itagaki were panicking not really knowing what to think of Takamura's transformation. But really, this lived up to the hype completely. Takamura took on the very definition of a champion by winning this match with everything he had, including the entire country of Japan at his back. Great, great fight!
