Hajime no Ippo New Challenger (AMV - Lying From You)

EDIT: July 25, 2017
RIP Chester. Thank you for the music.
Song: Lying From You - Linkin Park
EDIT: May 14, 2023
Looking at this again after more than a decade, I'm still satisfied at how this AMV turned out, exactly how I felt at the beginning. A few editing misses here and there are acknowledged (and yes, the crop is atrocious, not to mention the watermark). But that only shows that this video has accumulated millions of views more than I would have imagined (I may create a corrected version, but do not have the luxury of time).
I created this AMV out of inspiration of other AMVs I've watched back in those days. I simply just want to reproduce the musicality of those other AMVs and found no other Anime series to showcase it than Hajime No Ippo, and this title match between Hawk and Takamura is the perfect match for it. Hajime No Ippo is at the top of my list as 'Best Anime Series' (along with other 'classics' like HxH 1999, Death Note, Naruto, etc.) and I hope this AMV has drawn out its greatness along with this masterpiece of Linkin Park, even for a little bit.
The AMV has slowed down. But I hope it's done its job to spark some motivation to other creators in making great AMVs, the same way I felt watching aforementioned AMVs.
Many thanks to you viewers and anime fans for the comments and the views!

[@ilyescherguimalih8205]

this is amv is the reason why i watched Hajime no ippo......oh man turns one of the best anime i ever watched ........whoever made this, thank you.

[@jelome1989]

Glad you liked the series

[@respawin4513]

Not just the series, this amv in itself is amazing!

[@44447Darkwolf]

Yeah I never knew anything about this and found this AMV while looking for Berserk ones and I'm like hey what the hell is this "put your fist under each others chin" BAMM! *falling off my chair* hold up, that cheap ass cheap shooted that dude hah now I'm gonna watch it, I didn't watch the whole AMV because I didn't wanna spoil the whole fight, or bits of it I mean.

[@napmellowh7527]

Watch ashita no joe hajime no ippo was based of it

[@theboltthrower8661]

@@napmellowh7527 Ashita No Joe is darker and sad, tho. BTW who ya people prefer as the better villain between Hawk and Sawamura from Rising? Hawk was bad ultra violent guy and all, but Sawamura was pure psychpathic and sadistic guy. Dude made Mashiba and Hawk look like nuns, lol.

[@TheDurker69]

THAT SILENCE BEFORE HE HITS!!! you can feel your heart stopping

[@PLxGAMERx]

I was like ..........aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAARGRGERFEGRGRHNYHAERTGQ3!!!

[@honestopinions8748]

The way Chester's voice HITS when Takamura snaps is legit what got me into HNY 10 years ago. To this day this remains my favorite AMV

[@jortalus]

Absolutely my favorite fight in the series thus far. The buildup was incredible, and the fight itself was tense and exciting as hell.

[@ReaperOfMadness]

Man, the sound effects in this anime are like no other. So damn satisfying

[@Mad2Foox]

Gotta say this is one of the bests AMV i've ever seen. Thank you.

[@jelome1989]

+Mad2Foox Thank you too! I'm glad you liked it

[@yonkokaido4734]

jelome1989 KISSS ME

[@MadDadLad]

That fucking KO punch at the end!! I was jumping out of my seat when Takamura landed that monster on that smug assholes face! Easily the best fight of the series, followed closely by Ippo vs Sawamura and Ippo vs Sendo. MadHouse NEED to start on season 4 dammit!! There's over a thousand chapters in the manga so they've got plenty of material to work with!!

[@studentman9528]

+Derek Collins he got up after that though

[@mashibaryo2716]

When there's a season 4, Sawamura's gonna get fucked up.

[@garicklambert3379]

he got fucked up in season 3

[@mashibaryo2716]

Garick Lambert "Makunouchi sent you to the hospital. I'm gonna send you to the fucking grave." Yeah, Sawamura doesn't know 'fucked up' yet.

[@xandolf7216]

Jah! Cuz everyone wants to see ippo vs woli animated right! :P

[@hero5705]

This is the best amv I have ever seen

[@itsDUCKNANA]

SAME THING BRO...STILL COMING HER FROM TIME TO IME...CANT BLEVE ITS BEEN 11 EARS

[@ThePIMPaboveallpimps]

-speechless from the epicness-

[@MadDadLad]

That punch remains the single greatest moment in the entire series for me with Kamogawa's double Tekken punch on Anderson in Rising being a very, very close second! WHY MUST WE WAIT SO LONG FOR A NEW SEASON DAMMIT?!?!?! I need more Ippo greatness in my life!!

[@liondrumcovers9680]

a música casou perfeitamente com o clima do amv. Um dos melhores amv que já vi.

[@GuilhermeSouza-tt9hb]

Realmente, ficou muito bom.

[@Lvsca]

Assisti o anime todo por causa dessa amv

[@ioriyagami]

[@randomlyplaying]

Epic derp face...reminds me of some Jojo moments

[@thecanilianempirelopsidedt3893]

Rumor has it that the clap from Hawk's impact with the floor still echoes throughout the halls of the facility late at night......

[@faris8dan]

I can't stop but think about this vid everytime I hear the song...well done whomever made this! :)

[@commissionswampert]

Just got this recommended in 2020 this radiates 2010 to 2016 vibes

[@Pereza17K]

[@coltonkates3497]

He just took the blow to the face

[@TheKeksfan]

Jelome 1989... Great Music great anime great effects= Perfect amv. Love this :)

[@Versus21]

This is probably the best fight in the anime history.

[@anjaneyasreetrout2444]

Not the best...... But yeah it's up there

[@tommorillo6914]

prince naseem hamed is the real life hawk, same attitude, same fighting style, same boxing short, same for being over confident to their talent

[@MsLuffydmonkey]

02:35 Hawk: Besides no wimpy Japanese can win against me. 04:13 Takamura: Are you sure about that?

[@boy4everjoy]

freaking awesome amv of a freaking awesome anime, gave me goosbumps at the end

[@user-mv8ez5uv2y]

eu amo essa LUTA MDSS UMA DAS MELHORES

[@realbats4684]

One of my favorite AMV

[@edmon_1822]

The best AMV, its so nostalgic for me, I remember when I was at middleschool watching it after my classes and doing exercise listening the song, now i'm in university and practicing boxing :3 El mejor AMV, me recuerda a cundo iba en la secundaria y solía hacer ejercicio después de llegar de la escuela, y aun sigo entrenando :3

[@dhruvkhatri3590]

Pure Talent vs Pure Work Work Won!!

[@elvin_771]

god damn! this is amazing! u made it suit the song so good. right on

[@KhataarFelMataar]

one of the best out there!

[@doombearofhell88gaming15]

Good choice between the both of the music and the Anime

[@carlosvaler4120]

Vi Hajime no Ippo gracias a este amv xD y en un inicio crei que Ippo y takamura eran la misma persona y dije wow no puedo esperar a ver su evolucion :vvv

[@nurkaadil1443]

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

[@nurkaadil1443]

Amv nice

[@FilipinoAMVs]

Damn that was amazing!

[@Duddypup34]

The look in Hawks eyes when he saw takamora slide his punch of him was the most realist face of "oh shit" moment ever

[@sakatis]

amazing amv... ive been searching for something like this one!!!! your great ^^. takamura is a beast....

[@HaGgArDN1]

nice video Takamura rulz!

[@kenseisato1989]

i finally noticed half way that this was a amv for hawk. nice amv

[@guy5140]

Takamura vs Hawk is one the best anime fights of all time!

[@mrzau8849]

Excellent AMV, needs more love.

[@jacvj2499]

this is such a good amv! and also thanks to you i didn't know linkin park has this good song. i love songs such as this one. it makes you feel the action! :)

[@Tyson-do7yx]

Badass amv

[@onepiecesan]

Amazing amv

[@yamaguji190]

epic man....awesome video.....

[@tommorillo6914]

prince naseem hamed is the real life hawk, same attitude, same fighting style, same boxing short, same for being over confident to their talent

[@Curleigh_]

Naseem wasnt over-confident though, he truly was one of the best in the division. He lost to one of the best lower weight boxers to ever live due to being too predictable in the fight. With a correct gameplan it could've gone differently.

[@slvr_0]

WE NEED A NEW SEASON RIGHT NOW

[@kaanbozkara8217]

Amazing Amv thanks.

[@xSonOfSin666x]

and that's why I call takamura mr.demolition

[@bradcod9904]

1:46 amo ésta parte

[@BananaBoxOficial]

[@Newguts]

Wow awesome AMV!

[@ByWinchesterXD]

Aun recuerdo cuando mi hermano ponia esta cancion cuando yo estaba pequeño, asi me empezo a gustar este tipo de musica ❤❤

[@randomlyplaying]

The pace at 1:27 ...Love it

[@xXxJokerManxXx]

[@dneicosta7102]

Awesome music and very awesome anime amv

[@ManifiestUnder]

[@Kakyoinmilfhunter0712]

[@cheshirecat6970]

+Diego Hermogenes (DiegoGamer360) You're right

[@tyranotay]

EPIC

[@rafaelarayasilva7536]

Takamura is the best!! :D

[@Vaccticuz]

[@xBl00dBrothersX]

[@paulhughes6101]

Sweet

[@shadowviper7255]

Love the edits

[@shadowviper7255]

Linkin Park is always a win

[@MegaLalo131]

This video makes me want to read the manga. Thanks.

[@michaelsmith-cg7kf]

I think hawk could of been the greatest boxer ever if he actually trained alot .

[@davidbujna8480]

Nah there is a much better, he is one of the Pacific champs Ippo fights later on, you will see.

[@TheChaoticBlur]

***** If you're talking about Woli you're most likely wrong. Sure Woli is one of the fighters who's talent ranks to be one of the best fighters but Hawk is several weight classes higher than Woli and has insane agility and K.O. Power. Woli wouldn't last one round against Hawk

[@Al-oe7md]

actually martinez beat ippo

[@mr.terrific1413]

Alvin RAding one handed...HAAAAAA

[@iC3CBE]

Alvin RAding it was a sparring

[@CJMeverywhereinyt]
