I went straight to online gaming. You will never get realistic results playing a computer..even with advanced computing you are bound to see repitition...but with human oponents the strategies are as varied as our personalities.

I fought a dude last night. I was Ali and he was Frazier. I got stung with his left hook throughout the fight and was in the KO moment like 5 different times but managed to hang on. I knocked him down several times throughout the fight...FINALLY..in the 9th round out of 10 rounds..Frazier could not get up..completely exciting and I was trying to manage a horrible cut that couldve had the fight stopped. Completely exciting and going 9 rounds toe to toe is about as close to going the distance as you will get..

Now also keep in mind that real life boxers pace themselves....video game boxers go for the knock out..punch like crazy which causes the boxer to tire and be more proan to getting Knocked the Phugg out!!

Yeah, I was testing out the haymaker punch against patterson. I was Ali..I landed a decent amount of haymakers & only one Flash Ko/Stun punch.. & it was really hard to get those, which made me happy.. I was getting my butt kicked..Patterson had me in the K0 moment like 6 times..But held for dear life..The ref stopped it in the 6th, which WAS the right call..I was getting killed..MUCH better then RN2..

yeah stop throughing non stop haymakers and this game is great. i throw a lot of jabs and crosses. mix it up and beat down my opponent for the later rounds. lots of fun. it can play as a sim or arcade depending on what you want. that's what makes this game great. i throw and average of 2 haymakers a fight. i'm currently 17-2

Wait a minute..youre 17-2 ONLINE???? What is your secret. I have 10 wins but 13 losses. Perhaps I throw too many haymakers and my boxer tires because not all of them land of course. I got knocked out in the first round by a guy who threw NOTHING BUT HAYMAKERS right hook, left hook and so on..non stop..couldnt get a punch in edgewise. So...what is the secret to all of your victories....even at 10-13 I am better at boxing then I am at Madden..Im tired of getting spanked online.

I've fought a couple people that only threw haymakers, if you block them and hit them with a flash ko punch or stun punch the fight is pretty much over. I'm on a 3 game win streak (partly due to that) I lost my first 2 fights trying to slug it out with speed fighters though.

Not career mode, but I did go a full 12 round fight vs Holyfield with Roy Jones Jr. No knockdowns, I landed one stun punch in the 12th, but couldn't knock him down. The fight wasn't close, I lost every round on each card.

By the way, I'm completely new to Fight Night and this was my second bout ever on the medium difficulty on 360.

i just went 10 rounds with this boxer... it seems the further you get in your career, the harder it is to win these fights... these guys are pummelling my face and keeping me on my toes.

In my Heavyweight career, I was knocking people out by the 4th round until I made it to the under amour fight were I had to fight a real fight and box, it took me till the 7th or 8th round before I knock'd my opponet out. It was my best fight yet. I learn'd quickly to not use big punches early so much becuase I would always tire out early.

Not career, but I just finished a great fight. Sugar Ray Robinson (me) vs Sugar Ray Leonard. Went the distance with Leonard winning unanimously (117-110, 114-113, 114-113). Fight ended with me knocking Leonard down just before the bell. It was the only knockdown, and he got up at 8. Very intense fight, I just got started too slowly.
