There's nothing wrong with adding geological locations to the flavor of training. Seriously, what is wrong with that? I'm not trying to call anyone out by why on earth does that bother someone to the point that it would shed negative light on the game?

In fact, I know of cases in wrestling (not wwe) where a wrestler went to a different trainer for the sole reason of sharpening one respective skill. There's nothing wrong with emphasizing that by adding a geological touch.

????????

What does my comment have to do with being knowledgable about boxing?

The concept of traveling to my hometown btw to get tough is crazy.

FYI, I come from a family of boxers/trainers and once boxed myself...I have 5 amateur bouts under me...

In fact my pop just went to Carolina for a boxing tourney as a trainer...

Dude I been in many gyms, rarely are there anybody from Cali coming to Philadelphia to train for a fight...

Locally maybe like Jersey or even New England

I like the M rating.. But the traveling tells me the developers are clueless & is probably intended to make the game harder & more tedious.. Lack of funds.. Can't get tough in philly.. & the ring my bell stun punch is just another silly name.. Does marketing take polls on what names for unnecessary special punches.. In my days of watching boxing, when a fighter got hurt, the term was, he's on queer street & it's time to mug him..AKA, take him out. I guess that's not PC. Enough with the special punches & lame names given to them to make them sound important. Get the fundamentals right & everything falls into place.

why is this becoming the big issue? who cares? If it makes the game and training actually FUN then send the boxers to a space station for all I care. I want the damn thing to be better in the ring, and have way more options outside the ring.
