Presentation
The visuals of a fight are made up of 2D sprite-based boxers, and a simple 3D rendering of the ring. A small, overhead map of the ring, featuring both fighters' positions, is also visible during fights. Thus, using this as a navigation aide, it is possible to move boxers 360 degrees around the ring. However, the boxers' lateral movement appears somewhat unusual, due to their sprites being drawn from one side-on point of view.
Digitized speech is used to declare that has a knockout has taken place (Knockout.), to declare that a fight is to be stopped due to medical concerns (Stop the fight!), to break up fighters who are clinching (Break.), and to tell when to start the fight (Box.). It is also used for the taunts that computer-controlled boxers will sometimes say during a fight. There are also grunts and groans that emphasise the impact of some punches. There are also audible crowd effects; if a boxer lands a damaging punch, the crowd will cheer in approval, whereas if there is a lack of action, they will make evident their disapproval with boos and jeers. As a boxer's rank advances, more spectators appear in the crowd.
