It makes the game a little "Arcadish" to me..

So yesterday, I finally was able to stun Hatton with a cross that WASN'T a counter.

I'm glad this is in the game, but if this is the first time I've seen this after almost a month of playing the demo, its way too rare.

Well keep in mind that these are two of the top fighters in the weight class, so stunning them with one punch inside of 3 rounds IS a rare feat, as well it should be. IMO, with these two fighters, in only three rounds, there shouldn't be anything but decisions, with maybe the occassional knock down, maybe. Both of these fighters can take a punch. Now if you are landing clean 3 and 4 punch combos, that's one thing. But even with each boxers "best" punch, I wouldn't think you could get a one punch stun... perhaps MAYBE late in the third, if you are punishing him through the first 2 rounds.

If my memory serves me correctly, Hatton got knocked clean out in round 2 after getting knocked down twice in the first round, so I don't know why you feel there should be nothing but decisions with the difficulty set to easy.

Also, when I say stun, I mean when the fighter's health bar turns red. A fighter doesn't have to be necessarily hurt to get stunned. I just feel if I land a nice clean punch, there should be more stun moments that aren't counter punches or hooks.

Yeah but you are talking about ONE fight, prior to that he'd never been knocked out, a part from the Mayweather fither and that took 10 rounds and was TKO. They aren't going to base his attributes on one (and the most recent) fight. In 99 combined fights, they have been knocked out 3 time total and that's not taking into account how many ROUNDS that is. Maybe in a lopse-sided fight there would be a bit more stunning, but these fighters are both prime time.

I hear what you are saying but I just think, unless you are not defending yourself AT ALL, these two fighters should be able to make it through 3 rounds with little incident, unless they get caught with some combos and counters. Hatton didn't get knocked out with just one punch or get stunned a few times, he just got beat down.

Also in the past 5 years Pac, apart from the Hatton fight, has only won by KO, inside of 3 rounds, once to a guy that lost 3 of his previous 4 fights and Hatton has had None. So, if their attributes are true to life and based on these fighters in their prime, I'm not sure why you would expect to see them stunned with a single punch, let alone get knocked out.
