Put his ass up against anyone in MMA or boxing in their prime, Jake would get slept. He's all about the money though, and I don't think he has it in him to go against anyone who isn't old and worn out.
He found a new hustle in freak show fights. I wouldn't be shocked if this is rigged.
Obviously rigged, Anderson was pulling punches.
Wrong
>Black folkon silva lost to a shitty youtuber
the only good outcome for this would be a double knockout which lead both of them into a coma
the paul bros are ftm. all of their fights are rigged
The last good boxing game was Fight Night Round 4.
Also Rock 'em Box 'em Club Forever looks like total dog shit.
Also the sport of boxing disgusts me to no end but I'm still blowing £3000 to cheer Paul Butler in Tokyo.
What's the problem with Fight Night Champion?
>poorly executed, heavily scripted and cliche-laden cinematic story mode
>Isaac Frost has the best stats of any boxer ever
>Isaac "we want the UFC audience" Frost exists
>Isaac Frost can be used in online matches so everyone picks him because le meta
>streamlined cinematic HUD so no damage bar
>no more in-between round recovery tactics
>block button now automatically blocks high/low so no more tactical blocking like in real boxing
>other "improvements" to make the game less gamey such as not being able to punch people through the
Just an overall downgrade and disappointment imo.
The entire hook and marketing pitch of Champion was the story mode but it was so bad that it killed the whole franchise, I'm guessing they spent too much money on writers and voice actors.
>Isaac Frost
Other weight classes exist
>streamlined cinematic HUD so no damage bar
You can turn the damage bar on in the settings
>but it was so bad that it killed the whole franchise
EA acquired the UFC licence and moved the entire team onto that, that's why there are no fight night games, and there won't be until the licence goes away or isn't profitable
Also what's with your hate for the story mode, the execution is fine other than how painful the final fight can be. It's not gonna win an oscar but it does it's job to move you through all the situations and set up stakes for the fights
>Other weight classes exist
Finding an online match in anything other than heavyweight was always a long wait even in previous games.
>You can turn the damage bar on in the settings
Frick you for making me look it up, your only options are 1. health and stamina (default), 2. stamina only and 3. both off completely
The damage bar, the one that shows how close you are to getting stunned is gone completely, you cannot see your own even though it still exists.
>EA acquired the UFC licence and moved the entire team onto that, that's why there are no fight night games
They wouldn't have done so if Champion didn't fail.
I remember a prerelease interview where the producers were asked why it was called Champion instead of Round 5 and they said "there are only 12 rounds in modern boxing", "it's a fresh start/soft reboot" but also confirmed they have every intention of making more and gave lots of ideas for Champion 2.
>what's with your hate for the story mode
It's painfully boring.
Boxing is the most kino sport but you can just tell the plot and characters were written by your average failed screenwriter.
>how painful the final fight can be
The final fight is actually the best example of the game scripting being annoyingly on the rails.
In earlier fights like the one where you've hurt your right hand and can only use your left or the one where you can only used headshots because the crooked ref counts body blows as low blows, if you're good enough you can end the fight before the later cutscenes that tell you "ok the fight is winnable now".
In the Isaac Frost fight iirc there are a set number of rounds where it is IMPOSSIBLE to knock him down and win, then you can beat him easily in the first round where you're allowed to do so.
Plus there is no reason to ever play the story again after beating it once.
The career mode of Round 4 was hardly high art but it was at least replayable and had entertainment value.
30fps lock
bump
>boxing
>extreme sport
Honestly as someone who frequents xs because of some threads like surfing and fencing my understanding is that Ganker is just a sport thread for people who actually practice the sports themselves (regardless of how extreme or not they are) while Ganker is the show sports thread for like watching and discussing pro stuff.
Undisputed's closed beta is next week, actually super hyped
I'm sure the game is gonna be kinda doo-doo but just to have something new on PC is a joy in itself
How do I get in? Had that shit wishlistwd for you very a year now
There's a register button on the steam store page, they'll randomly select you to play from that
This games will have it's first beta test soon. I don't have high hopes but at least is a PC native boxing game
The white man marches on.
Fight Night was alright.
Also, is Jake Paul secretly based?
White Boy Summer
Hajime no Ippo 2 Victorious Road's custom boxer campaign mode is unironically the best and most in depth boxing game I've ever played but sadly it's all in nip so is a chore to play
It also has a speeding up problem on pcsx2 which is bad for a boxing game
floyd mayweather jr ruined boxing foreveryone, its not cool anymore
It doesn't help motherfrickers don't want to fight the best of the best. Look at the Haggler/Duran/Sugar Ray/Hearns era. Those dudes took on each other and wanted to be the best. Plus there's too many belts. It should be WBC, WBA and IBF. That's it.
yeah I watched a video on why like half of profesional boxers are all undefeated, and its cause they just rig matches and never fight eachother.
Say what you will, but Tyson at least did head hunting to beat the best of his era.
I forgot about that silly shit.
It's not so much the number of governing bodies, it's the belts being created within those, like the whole WBA super/regular bullshit
as a non boxing fan who only knows famous names, all the belts really confuse the shit out of me, and probably explains why literally every random boxer name I look up has been a heavy weight boxing champion
For me its lost judgement
The boxing minigame is more fun than the entire story
Undisputed will come out in i'd guess a year, looks decent and has a great roster
KEK, Silva lost to some meme youtuber
Black person bro's.....
wait this is real? isnt Anderson Silva some MMA Jedi?
He is almost 50 now, dude's retired. He is just doing some single fights here and there when specifically invited.
>t.coping Black person
He lost to some youtuber, Silva got buck broken just like his ancestors, simple as
Look, I know /misc/rot is real but you can't say with conviction that this fight was on the up & up. It's a fricking work.
So would you say the fight was... goyslop?
It was a work that people took for a shoot. A fricking farce.
Dude are you a schizo? I was just answering that guy and you seem to be going on about some shit that I wasn't even talking about.
I forgot how many years passed again
>47yo man gets tired after 5 rounds of winning against a guy in his prime
The indie Fight Night clone has a beta coming up
I'm not sold on it but it oughta scratch that itch
You're wrong btw, the last good boxing game was PatoBox
>THE WHITE MAN MARCHES ON
It's kinda easy to make undefeated boxer
BUCK BROKEN
He's clearly slipping
The Fight Night games were a thousand times better moron
Been playing fight night 2004 and round 2 recently. If undisputed is bad I guess I'll buy a PS3 and play champion again
i still play fight night champion. it has active online still
Undisputed beta is next week, nov. 4-6th. ill be handing out KOs all weekend
i will say i've been playing FNC online all weekend and i'm sick of seeing mike tyson. everyone picks mike tyson and just spams lol. i always just play lennox lewis and stick them with the jab and overhand bomb. step back overhand from lennox destroys the tyson spammers. i still don't know what to do about isaac frost spammers though. it's hard to keep him away even with a stiff jab like lennox's and he hits so hard and so fast. such a moronic character and it's dumb they let him be used online lol
is there any way to play FN round 4 on xbone? or will i have to emulate it?
You think boxing fans have it hard? The last kickboxing game I can remember playing was a K-1 game on PS2 in like 2005. We need a kickboxing game along with a new boxing game and they need to be on PC
The UFC games are basically kickboxing games, the ground game is useless except for cheesing submissions
>thought the average pro boxer or fighter would be paid the same as a baseball player or football or basketball or some shit
>Turns out most pros only make $40k for a single fight
>The toll on their body requires months of recoup after
>The industry doesn't even pay for their hospital bills
>These fighters need to literally do this part time while the champions that got lucky can afford to focus 100%
Kinda killed boxing to me. Now I don't give a shit about "le spirit of boxing" let these YouTube stars come in and make a mockery of the whole thing. The guys that lose to Jake Paul made more doing that one fight than they did their entire careers. Frick boxing.
nobody's forcing them to box. it's a sport we do for fun like any other
>we do for fun
He's talking about pro stuff. Shit dude learn to read.
you're moronic. nobody is forcing them to box dumbass. take your own advice clown
Forcing is not the part I quoted from your post. Read what I actually quoted. If that guy was specifically talking about pro stuff then your fun or lack of it doesn't fricking matter. It's irrelevant. A pro should be able to live of it.
Most money is made from endorsements rather than the actual sports themselves. Unless you are at the top of whatever profession you occupy, you are making little to nothing. Especially now with a lot of these matches being a work like the other anon said. You think Mayweather was going to get beaten by Logan? There's a webm showing Logan getting knocked out but Mayweather grabbing his wrist before he fell down. Unless a TKO occurs, a boxer in bad shape can still 'win' by a judge's decision IE paying him off beforehand
Man up pussy
Pro Boxing has always been seedy as frick. The Mob, Promoters, Athletic Commissions, the Governing Bodies? All corrupt. Sure there are some honestly decent people there but Boxing is filled with sordid characters.
There's a reason fight rigging has been a pulp cliche for like 100 years, it is insanely easy to fix a boxing match.
>Frick with the equipment
>DQ off a technicality
>DQ off something that didn't fricking happen
>ref ignoring a below-the-belt hit
>guy takes a dive
There are so many ways to cheat the ststem it's unreal.
they pandered to morons with fight knight champion. the game was so dumbed down even the biggest morons couldn't enjoy it. they killed the golden goose by being too greedy
>Loma vs Ortiz was on
>american normies care more about meme youtuber vs 500 year old anderson
Jake Paul put the work in and came out the other end as a half decent mid-low level boxer. The kind guy who fills out B-cards, sometimes serves a mandatory.
But he'll never get a real fight, because he's not allowed to lose.
Even if he himself wanted a real fight, his management would grease enough palms for the opponent to take a dive, and that's assuming he's not fighting elderly non-boxers who need a quick paycheck.
what song is he playing?
Fight to Survive by Stan Bush
What happened with ESBC or whatever its called?
Renamed to undisputed, closed multiplayer beta starts next week
Go to /gif/ pink man. Over in the bedroom your race is losing badly the race war to black men. By far the majority of interracial is Black dominated. Hell, even the word interracial is synonymous with BMWF. Your race is seen as extremely feminine and weak in the sex world.
Just been there, it's jut a bunch of porn addicted shit clits thug posting
he can't keep getting away with it
this cheating mexican frick Margarito killed my love for boxing. the second he got his plastered gloves taken away he got beaten down like a dog by an old punch drunk Shane Mosley.
