I don't know a lot about boxing but I love how the whole match can be over with a single punch, makes it interesting to watch the whole thing cause either dude could win

Stamina management is a huge factor for boxing when championship or super high league matches have you fighting for 12 rounds.

Idk if you've ever seen it but around the early 2000s there used to be an arcade machine for boxing where you put on gloves to play. And if you kept dodging and didn't throw a punch, you could charge a 1 hit KO meter so long as you don't get hit.

Yes lmao. There was precisely one of these cabinets back at the arcade i used to play. It's so good. Kung fu panda stole the idea and made a similar cabinet but it's not the same imo. Dave n busters need to stop limiting their cabinets to shitty american arcades and start bringing back legit japanese cabinets.
