* the game features at least a dozen venues from around the world. They are more built than previous titles. This includes more activity around the apron during a fight.

* Fighters comfirmed so far Tyson, ali, Lennox Lewis, sugar Ray, Winky Wright, Sergio Mora and Emanuel Augustus (plz Miguel Cotto, Juan Manuel Lopez)

*The strenght of a punch is no longer how far back you pull the analog atick, but how cleanly you make contact.

*if your in close to your opponent and dont get full arm extension, the power behind your punches are weakened.

*Boxers now have more hit zones in their faces, and different punches will have different effects depending on where they land.

*Blocking now has a meter, this meter decays over time, your overall risk increases as the meter decreases.Punches can break threw your guard and your arms can be knocked out the way (like Pacman did to De La Hoya) much easier as your opponent works your defense.(shows picture of Ali breaking threw Tysons upper block inbetween gloves with an extended left uppercut)

* Due to physics system reduces the power of punches when a boxers arms arent fully extended (picture shows Tyson smoothering Ali on the inside)

* Fight Nights new physics system is better suited to providing more realistic outcomes during the moment to moment flow of two boxers constantly trading punches

*Taking cuts to the face ( I won many fights on cuts) is not about your health meter, the strenght of the punch and how directly it lands on your face are more important

*When Tyson is throwing a punch at your head, dont try and slap it out of air (reffering to R3's parrying system)

*40 lincensed boxers, introduces more height and body (like Tyson being small for good inside, and taller Ali being better on outside). Thus, long armed fighters perform better if they stick and move, while shorter boxers like Tyson want to pummel you from close range, negating the advantage of the opponents longer arms.

*SUMMER RELEASE

blah blah blah it goes on about career mode but I dont really care about that part, what I wanna do is have a Mexican war with somebody online :D

How did that joke Sergio Mora make his way into the game?

I do not approve

I hope the blocking meter isn't an actual meter that's on the screen. If so that's gay. It should be like Prizefighter where it just eventually breaks.

YUHHHHHHH!

IWatchBoxing, thanks for the heads up on the GI magazine.
If you have time, could you post what they said about the career mode?
I'm very interested in that aspect of the game.

Thanks!

I really don't know why the hell Sergio Mora and Emanuel Augustus are in the game. Hey, now we can have bum wars or exbhition fights against noobs who pick them because they saw the contender and taught he was a real world champion. I see many new ways playing this game, cant wait until this comes out, Im sure I could arrange some Mexican brawl fights, anybody up for that, a online slug fest to test this new feature?

Why did you just hate on Augustus? He is one of the funniest boxers ever, and he does some of the weirdest fight moves in boxing. I seen him do that crazy 2 punch arm throw, weird ****. He is the drunk master!!! AUGUSTUS RULES, MORAS ghey though

I mean whoever chooses them is a noob unless two guys decide to pick the bums which I do agree would be fun, hopefully you can do his drunken master moves cause why esle would you pick him. Hey if you wanna go bum wars, Ill go bum wars with ya online.....anybody know if they let fighters below LIghtweight in the game? Juanma :D , or esle Im stuck with Cotto and everyone would pick Margarito :(

I'm not getting my hopes up. The details were very vague in general. And with guys like Mora already confirmed, I imagine we're going to have our fair share of "nobodies" on the roster.

Augustus is a nice addition, and it'll be funny to see how they implement his style into the game.

Still, I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of the same, only with new polish and a few new elements.

I hope they have Agustus' drunken master style. That **** would be funny.

But Sergio Mora? WTF... Ooh well... I'll be happy if Cotto is in there, or even Trinidad. I hope they can get Trinidad.

You can duck and move at the same time, I guess to move like tyson trying to get close to an oponnent so you can bob and weeve your way closer? I cant wait. Getting runners cornered by the ring apron is kool

Sounds like the game is gonna be amazing but I bet the roster will have like 5 fighters per weight division which would be ****!!!

They should do the rosters like the old KO Kings games. They were huge!

I agree.
A deep career mode is something I've wanted since Evander Holyfield boxing for the Genesis.

Man they better have Sugar Shane Mosley in this one. He was in the first one and he has his own style off fighting which would be awesome. He better also have his trademark jumping left hook. He destroyed Mayorga, Vargas, and Margarito with. One of the best left hooks in the game still.

You think they will fix Cottos chin? He was unplayble, he would get knocked out, and wouldnt get up. Atleast give him a knee down option :D
