Genos telling off Tornado, Saitama cheering him on, and her putting him through the rock is like my favorite little 3-shot sequence.

That was quite a profound scene. Saitama can't find much excitement in his own fights, and, just like Boros remarked, he didn't need to go all out in that fight either. Yet if he's cheering for Genos, he has no way of knowing how things will end, so it's the complete opposite of his own fights. It's of course no substitude for finding an ultimate opponent for himself, but it's at least something.
From the beginning till the end I found it hilarious how Tatsumaki, the most powerful telekinesis psychic, was given such a role when Saitama appeared. When Saitama wasn't around, she was actually performing meaningfully (even if rudely), but as soon as he arrived, she was again the lost child throwing a tantrum and nobody paying serious attention.
