The gameplay is praised for its excellent mechanics and tactical depth, making it one of the best boxing experiences available, despite the game's barebones presentation and limited content. While the controls can be challenging to master, players find the core boxing mechanics engaging and rewarding, capturing the essence of the sport. However, issues like a broken knockdown count and a lack of depth in career mode detract from the overall experience, leading to some repetitiveness over time.
- “Mechanically, the best boxing game I've ever played.”
- “Awesome gameplay, physics, and knockouts.”
- “Gameplay wise, I haven't had this much fun with a boxing game since Fight Night Champion; the fighting feels more simulation than FNC in a way I hadn't realized, don't let the graphics fool you.”
- “The count is broken; they don't even count to 10. It's mostly 8 or 7, and there's no mechanic for when you get knocked down, so all you can really do is pray that your fighter gets up, which is pretty dumb.”
- “I'd also like to say I made it to #9 before it got stale and boring for me, with some of the tediousness revolving around the issues mentioned above. Winning every fight via knockout within 1-4 rounds is not a skill issue; I could have kept going (and winning), albeit very tediously due to the oversights in gameplay.”
- “As far as I'm concerned, there's no championship belts for the career mode as of right now. If anything, career mode seems so rushed, with no weight classes as well. If the dev would add the 5 belts system from real-life boxing and weight classes, then this would be a great boxing game. But as of right now, the career mode is just so underwhelming.”

- “This is no frills boxing... no annoying music, no customizing your eyebrows... no fancy robes... just straight up boxing skills!”

- “It could use some main menu music to get you hyped up and perhaps some in-game commentary or an announcer.”

Players find significant replayability in quick fight mode, offering varied experiences, but the career mode lacks depth due to its repetitive fight path, which diminishes long-term engagement. Enhancing the career mode could greatly improve overall replay value.
- “I'm getting plenty of replay value in quick fight mode alone.”
- “The variety of challenges and modes keeps me coming back for more.”
- “While the career does feel fun to play and is rewarding as you rank up, there doesn't feel like there is a lot of replayability here as the fight path is basically the same all the time.”
- “This would boost replayability infinitely.”
