Boxing games are in a weird place right now. If you’re a fan of the sport — and especially if you grew up on Fight Night — it’s been a long, frustrating stretch waiting for a title that actually understands footwork, rhythm, timing, and the unique ways fighters break one another down over rounds. Undisputed was supposed to get us closer, but between gameplay inconsistencies and a borderline unplayable online component, it’s fair to say that a lot of players aren’t feeling very hopeful.
