Boxing Legends of the Ring Overview
Boxing Legends of the Ring is a boxing simulation featuring eight historical middleweight fighters, including Roberto Duran, Jake La Motta, and "Sugar" Ray Robinson. Players can engage in single matches or pursue a championship in a career mode.
Visual feedback during bouts is provided through two primary displays. One meter uses boxing glove icons to indicate where punches have landed, while another shows progressively damaged fighter portraits that flash red to signal exhaustion. The perspective shifts each round, alternating between a view from behind one fighter to the other.
Fighters have access to standard punches and a special super punch. This powerful strike is earned by scoring knockdowns and can end a match, but missing with it results in losing the attack for that round. The optimal moment to use it is when an opponent's portrait indicates significant fatigue.
