Matches are structured as close-range boxing bouts with a strong emphasis on timing and positioning. Players use jabs, hooks, guards, dodges, and combo follow-ups to break an opponent’s rhythm. Success depends on watching openings, conserving stamina, and choosing the right moments to press offense. As bouts continue, opponents become more aggressive and mistakes are punished quickly.
