Wow, I finally picked up this game Saturday and it is the best realistic boxing game ever in my opinion. The graphics are just phenominal, the game plays greats, and the amount of control is insane. Just watching a replay where you duck one punch, lean away from another, and then deliver an uppercut that knocks your opponent up off his feet is incredible. Now imagine doing this in under 3 seconds.
I've never played a boxing game where actually strategy had to be used. In this game I actually need to use the footwork, protect the body, look for openings and ration my punches. And best of all, it's all done excellently.
Hell, even against the worst guys, if you forget your strategy and just start swinging like crazy, you can find yourself getting knocked out.
I can't imagine how they can improve in 2005, but I still can't wait.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
