Decisions don't make sense!!!

I'm sure this has been discussed before but I just came back to the game last month. What does it take to win a round? I had a fight where every round I landed more punches. Some rounds by a large margin. Not just jabs either. I landed loads of hooks & uppercuts while my opponent just threw straights. I mixed up my attack. I landed a higher percentage. Only difference was he threw more punches. I'm lost!!!!!

Re: Decisions don't make sense!!!

The producers didn't show any enthusiasm for this game from the start. This game is a glorified arcade fighter without attention to the detailed of the real sport. It would be ok if they mixed up the judges and they had criterias they were looking for. Boxers getting splits and draws because it's in there hometown or they are the champ. They just need to do their homework and study the sport.

I only won 1 round. I did get dropped in the 10th going for the ko.

I've noticed that judging can get a bit funky too, but that's almost realistic lol. I think the judges like to see power punches landing. I used to not throw many, but now that I've mixed them up a bit more I notice I'm starting to win on the cards much more often. Watch out for those counter shots.

That's probably true. I just don't like winding up for the power punches. I can land 10 to 15 more punches but they land 3 power punches & win the round!!! Frustrating.

The producers designed the game to be a slugfest every fight.

Re: Decisions don't make sense!!!

It's garbage!! It doesn't reward efficiency at all. It doesn't reward landing harder shots! I can make a guy miss & land bombs but if he throws 126 punches he gets the round! I mostly win because my opponent is exhausted! Never because I was slick & outboxed him. I'm average at the game but I know I'm getting ripped off!
