This one?
Buu's fight was great. PRetty excited to see Gohan back in serious action as well. Time to redeem himself after that ridiculous performance against Frieza.
You know it's bad for the opponent if Buu gets genuinely angry. I was half expecting a chocolate beam and then Buu eating him.
As much as I hope Gohan will win the match, there are indications he'll lose because:
1. There are 3 foxes, so three fights. IF it's a best of three, Gohan winning would make it 2-0 and it would end. I'm pretty sure we'll get to see all 3 foxes fight. This does assume it's a best of three.
2. If Gohan loses here, it gives him a strong motivation to really train and prepare for the actual tournament.
3. The good guys already won the first match. If anyone was going to lose the second match, it would be Gohan.
4. If Gohan lost the second match (especially if he got hurt bad), it will likely fire up Goku big time for the third match.
The only other outcome would probably be a 3-0 where the good guys win all the fights like how they did against Babidi in his space ship. I guess we'll see.
Also, this whole thing with Buu...where the heck is Uub? Wasn't he supposed to be a powerful reincarnation of Kid Buu? (that Goku trained at the end of DBZ) Why wouldn't he be amongst the 10 fighters? He could even have some interaction with Buu.
Uub is just a baby at this point. Super is taking place in the years between the death of Kid Buu and the end of DBZ.
As for Gohan, you are definitely right that it would make sense for him to lose, but as we saw in this episode, the only purpose of this match is to entertain the Omni King, so even if Gohan wins they are not going to end the match.
Buu this episode really reminded me of how he acted in the Buu saga. Loved this episode.
Well, Gohan could lose (and a 3-0 for Universe 7 would truly undermine Universe 9's credibility for the tournament) as a sort of motivator for later on, but on the other hand Lavenda said he is going to kill his opponent and this would be a good chance for Gohan rediscover his strength.
I think goku is bringing gohan to lose, remember in the cell games gohan didnt have the strength until he got angry (tho he was still far stronger than everyone else even without unlocking the angry potential) but he basically needed a reason to unlock his super strength.
They had been building him up for so long ever since his usual power-headbutt vs raditz and back to vegeta noticing that he had an usually high power lvl, sadly it capped out after the cell games and he the only thing he did was become "mystic" gohan to beat super buu (which i guess is a pretty high bar). Hopefully this fight will bring back the real gohan

I think Universe 9 is going to get erased after this match, even though it's supposed to be just an exhibition. They all seem to be portrayed as villains. Even the Supreme Kai seems to be scum which is very strange. I would say that's so we don't feel as bad when they get erased. I know there certainly are countless innocent "people" in Universe 9, but viewers connect to characters a lot more, than concepts. And this would be a good opportunity to open Goku's eyes as to what kind of tournament this is going to be.
I know there is information floating around about the next few episodes, but I've been avoiding it.

It could also be a draw I guess.
I am guessing Gohan is going to win and Goku will lose.

This one
The Super Buu one is great but it belongs to a different Buu.
Gohan will lose his fight and thus motivates him to train.
Universe 9 won't get erased when they lose this exhibition match because in the intro, Goku is fighting the blue wolf(whatever he is) in the place which looks to be the place where the actual tournament takes place.
I'm also curious on Toppo. The guy that basically absorbed the blast that Buu deflected. The guy that Goku is fighting in the intro who looks like the announcer guy on steroids. Hes basically giving Goku a run for his money and the intro also focuses on him quite a bit. Like, is the guy in the intro going to be Goku's next "Hit" like opponent or is that Toppo guy going to be. I've seen his character design and its rather . . . not good. I would much rather that announcer on steroids guy be the big opponent over Toppo.

Don't overinterpret the intro. They're neither canon, nor necessarily accurate. The intro during the Universe 6 vs Universe 7 tournament showed Hit using fingerbeams, but we haven't actually seen him use anything like that.
I just don't think Universe 9 will get erased when they lose. As long as the Zeno's are satisfied with the matches they are safe. Until the actual tournament that is, when losing will have consequences.
I don't think they'll be eliminated if they lose. After all, this is still an exhibition match and destroying the losing universe is supposed to be a secret? Would be silly if they just randomly went and told all the other universes about it. Given, it'll increase everyone's motivation to win but having zen-oh sama there in the first place does that.
As for the fight in the latest episode, wasn't too bad. I kept hoping that Buu will at least exhibit some of his former strength. I wanted to see him reform from pieces, use his beam etc... Still, at least he managed quite the energy blast so can't complain but ya, I really do hope he goes all out the next time.
Those universe 9 challengers are something for sure. I want to say that Gohan will win, but in a really close match. However, it's hard to tell if universe 7 will be considered the winner if he does or if they will still do another match regardless because zen-oh sama didn't feel satisfied etc...

The Grand Priest actually said before the match that if Zen-oh isn't sufficiently entertained he might destroy the losers of the exhibition match.
I like what someone said above Gohan loses Goku wins easily Uni9 is destroyed cause they didnt have a fighter who could last long enough vs him. Gives a fresh reminder to gohan that he really needs to train as the his whole universe will be depending on him and how his match goes
