Synopsis

“

Excitement gradually builds up as you fight in each of the 90 second rounds in this 8 round bout. Your opponent is a tough young blonde fighter. Throw STRAIGHT, JAB, and UPPERcut punches directly to the opponent's face or his body. Keep up the flurry of fast and furious blows by taking advantage of your superior footwork!! Warm up in LEVEL 1 and then upgrade your skills by consecutively clearing the higher LEVELS. If in LEVEL 5 you win by a 10 count KO you'll become the world champion.
