Did R3 not have a ref and tale of the tape? I thought it did. Don't remember. It was one of my first PS3 games.

What about knockout kings I thought those things were in that series too. Of course..that was a long time ago.

When exactly is this game to be released? Is it June I'm assuming?

I had read Q1 for 2011. That could mean anything really as each company has different beginnings and endings for their fiscal years.

My money is in March sometime.

Our impressions will be better than theres anyway. Lot of the "Journalist" didnt even play the game, and just had presentations. Some only got an hour. None of them have experienced more of the game than we have. Count on it.

Sounds promising, you guys got me checking this board often.. hoping to be thrilled when it comes out. I like the sound of engaged fighting in the clinch.. Like the idea of more punches, hoping they have the pop I'm looking for. One thing has me concerned, I played the MMA demo as I hear you all talk about similarities, and was not too thrilled. It feels really unpolished to me. See I'm a martial artist first, but really just a boxing enthusiast since childhood. I enjoy watching boxing history, and Motion varies from one style to another, but is still all somewhat relevant. I agree this needs to be the 2k11 of boxing, cause EA has really frustrated me with their arcadey fest of games as of late. (Don't get me started on Madden). I have been rather harsh on the pop of punches and the lack of footwork I call Mechwarrior migration in FN4.

These are still ideas, but I think we need in boxing what 2k11 brought with isomotion this year. Different movement schemes for different boxing styles, like the way in 2k how you feel the drastic difference between a SG and C, their pace and even their dribbling mechanics. Speedy guys like Ali and Roy Jr. having some isomotion controls such as hesitation (tap LT), stutter step (tap RT). Maybe an elaborate move with elastic recoil (Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson), where he steps back gingerly, then explodes punch (Hold RT (Turbo) move -Left-, then move -Right-, then Punch). For shorter power guys like Tyson and Frazier, maybe (tap LT) is a quick move to get inside quick, (tap RT, then punch) is quick bob and weave to uppercut or hook combo. Maybe for Foreman and Lewis it's bodying up with their body mass, which causes a slight body stamina loss on their opponent. Lots of potential scenarios here.

I really hope we see a lot of variety of knockdowns and KO's this year. From taking knees to stunned and dazed KOs (thinks Tyson v. Berbick), to launching off canvas (Foreman v. Frazier) to rag doll KOs.. Can guys actually get KO'd the first time they go down instead of 4-5 knockdowns? How about guys actually throw in the towel in career? This concludes my boxing rant... still hoping for the best..
