Undisputed

Boxing here is about angles and timing, not just throwing hands. You get more than 60 punches from multiple angles and directions, with feints to set a trap and counters when it works. Defense means slipping, weaving, dodging and blocking, while physics-driven contact means shots can sometimes go around or through a guard.

Footwork matters too. Loose Movement helps you circle the ring, and when stamina drops your fighter goes flat-footed. You manage that over the fight with the Adrenaline system, with 50 attributes and traits separating styles.

Career Mode takes you from amateur tournaments to Undisputed Champion. Between fights you hire managers and trainers, take simulated training and upgrade your boxer's skills across difficulty settings from amateur level to pound-for-pound masters.

You can also make your own fighter in the Character Creator, changing build, tattoos, shorts and gloves. For licensed pros, you pick ring attire, taunts and ringwalk music before the introductions by Jimmy Lennon Jr. and referee instructions from Kenny Bayless.

The roster is the draw: 70+ licensed fighters so far, including Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Terence Crawford, Canelo Álvarez and Tyson Fury, plus Katie Taylor, Jessica McCaskill, Natasha Jonas and Ebanie Bridges in the women's division. Real organizations like the WBC and British Boxing Board of Control appear, with Everlast gear and CompuBox punch stats.

Fights play out across 6 locations, from a large arena to Coldwell's Gym and an outdoor venue. Models use scanning technology, with progressive sweat, realistic damage and facial deformation, while Todd Grisham and Johnny Nelson call the action with ring walks included.
