Glory Days Boxing

[steelerfan]

This is a cards and dice tabletop sim (think Strat-O-Matic). I haven't played it but I have watched several fights on Youtube and it looks like alot of fun.

The full game bundle ($65) comes with 400 boxers (100 each from heavyweight, lightweight, middleweight and welterweight) and the creator is currently working on another set of 100 heavyweights.

Anyway, I just ordered the full bundle and should have it by the end of the week.

The creator of the game has a Youtube channel and you can find several matches using this game on other channels.

Just thought I'd share!

Just got a notification that my game should arrive on Friday. I can't wait! I'm really excited to get my hands on this and I've been watching people play it on YouTube constantly for the last 2 days.

After I get a chance to play I'll try to put a little feedback on here but I think watching on YouTube is probably better than any feedback I can give.

Got a notification that the game is arriving today, a day early. I never get anything good a day early!

Curious to see how you like it.

Over the last few days I watched alot (probably 30) of fights using this game on YouTube. I also downloaded and read the instruction manual. Because of this, I was ready to play as soon as the game arrived this afternoon.

This game is alot of fun!

I've finished 3 fights so far:

1. Mike Tyson defeats Evander Holyfield by TKO at 1:05 of the 1st round.

Shocking end after alot of hype!

2. Deontay Wilder defeats Anthony Joshua by KO at 1:16 of the 9th round.

What was interesting here is that Wilder had landed 20 more punches than Joshua through 8 rounds and had knocked Joshua down in the 5th round but the judges had Wilder barely ahead (76-75, 76-75 and 76-76). It would have been interesting to see the judges' final scorecards if it went the full 10 rounds.

3. George Foreman defeats Leon Spinks by TKO at 2:53 of the 2nd round.

The first round was close (Foreman held an 11-8 advantage in punches landed) but big George pummeled poor Spinks in the second, landing 26 punches to Leon's 2.

I'm going to move on to some Middleweights now. [emoji3037]

My fourth fight was my first to go the distance.

Willie "The Worm" Monroe was the winner by unanimous decision (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) over Cory "The Next Generation" Spinks.

There weren't any knockdowns in the match. Monroe landed 99 punches to Spinks' 91. Spinks suffered a swollen right eye in the 4th round and Monroe suffered a bloody nose in the 9th.

Monroe caught some real breaks with the judges throughout the fight but he deserved the W.

Next up, a couple of Welterweights. "Cool" Vince Phillips (48-12-1, 34 KO) vs "Bazooka" Ike Quartey (37-4-1, 32 KO).

To no surprise, Ike Quartey stopped Vince Phillips by TKO at 0:50 of the 9th round. Ike was the better fighter, he out punched Phillips and he was ahead on the scorecard when the fight was stopped.

I completed 7 fights tonight.

The last 2 fights had Joe Gans winning by TKO at 2:40 of round 4 over Edwin Viruet and Bob Fitzsimmons winning by KO over Henry Cooper at 2:09 of the 9th round.

That last fight was brutal.

Cooper cut his right cheek in the 2nd and re-opened it in the 5th. He also had his left eye swell in the 3rd and was knocked down in the 4th before being knocked out in the 9th.

Fitzsimmons suffered a gash above his right eye (the worst facial injury that puts you at high risk of getting TKO'd) in the 3rd, cut his left cheek in the 8th and was knocked down in the 5th.

I love this game!
