When I was Manny I had alot of trouble getting away from Hatton because he was aggressive. This could be a big problem online. All I see is slugfests. It also led to me throwing around 350-400 punches per fight and connecting on over 60% almost every time. With that and the speed there really is no strategy involved.

It seems like the game is catered to guys who want to fight like Tyson and not Ali. There's no balance. If you don't fight like Tyson you're at a disadvantage. The game only felt comfortable if you are flat footed, bobbing about and tryint to counter. And like I said the camera angle is no help in trying to fight from the outside.
Im not worried about the camera at all, games online allow two different people to play at 2 different angles so thats no sweat.

I do however share your feelings about the sticking and moving.
What i have noticed is that when blocking you move slower, so assuming the computer blocks more on higher levels it should open up the 'stick and move' game.
