Press A to knock down Boxer B for six seconds.
Press B to cut the right eye of Boxer A. The referee will stop the
fight if this is done three times.
Press C to end the current round and immediately advance to round 10.
Determining when your opponent is hit:
The sound of a glove being blocked and the sound of a glove scoring
a hit are different. Watch the graphics for sweat or blood flying.
The boxer will recoil as well, but this may not be noticeable
depending on the current view. The Custom and TrackCam High views
are good choices to avoid this problem.
Completing punches:
When throwing any of the slower punches, hold down the button until
the punch completes. Releasing the button early will result in a
fake punch. Note that the punch timing must be altered as your boxer
becomes fatigued. The best way to make sure a punch finishes is
practice the timing with one boxer. If your boxer recoils by getting
hit during a punch, the punch probably will not finish.
Fighting dirty:
You can fight "dirty" by throwing low blows. This is done by
pressing Down/Toward + A or B. The crowd may voice its disapproval.
The referee will warn you and/or give you a penalty point.
Fighting tips:
The best fighting range is at arm's length. Do not get as close to
the fighter as possible and pound away; your hits will be ineffective
and will waste energy. Close punches (except for uppercuts and
clinches) do not have an effective momentum. The optimal punch range
can be found by taking as step back from the closest position.
Move as much as possible. Chase your opponent and try to corner him.
When he is in the corner, pound him mercilessly at arm's length.
If low on energy, avoid your opponent. If you become knocked down,
run around while avoiding punches and fight defensively until the
round ends. Your energy will be recovered in the next round and will
allow you to go back on the offensive.
Learn to use defense, and try to anticipate the punches. If your
opponent did not throw a punch for a second or two, duck!
As your opponent tires out he will drop his guard more often; take
advantage of this situation. Also, watch for your opponent to
"fidget" (pull up their shorts, wipe their noses), when they are out
of range. With care, you can jump your opponent while he is
fidgeting and lay one on him.
Avoid being punched until after getting warmed up in the first round
to prevent a knock out.
