TV Sports: Boxing

TV Sports: Boxing takes the sweet science and wraps it in a layer of showmanship that feels straight out of a late-night sports broadcast. Released in 1991, it emphasizes spectacle almost as much as the punches themselves, with fighters who have personality and bouts that can swing wildly depending on your timing. The controls are simple enough, but mastering them is another story entirely—expect to eat a fair number of virtual jabs before you figure things out. It’s not the most realistic boxing simulation, but it delivers a satisfying mix of strategy and arcade flair that keeps you invested round after round.
