Jersey Joe is a tough guy, but he's no spring chicken. He really should have retired decades ago, but he fights on for the love of the sport. Joe likes to attack with a combination of jabs followed by a stiff right hook - keep your guard up and don't panic! His blows will be absorbed harmlessly by your gloves. Occasionally he'll throw a powerful right to your body, which you can block by lowering your guard, or preferably dodge. If you dodge his right hand, use the opportunity to land a series of punches while he's off balance. If you want to press the fight, work his body while his guard is up, or target his head if he lowers his guard. If you're feeling especially cunning, try jabbing his guard to provoke him into attacking, then dodge and counterattack. Jersey Joe is particularly vulnerable to power punches, so land them hard and often. Practice combinations - your left hand is fast, but you can hit a lot harder with your right. If you manage to knock Joe down without taking any damage, he probably won't get up, but if he does, watch out for a vicious uppercut. Knock him out, and when he wakes up, don't forget to thank him for being a game and brave opponent - he'll appreciate it.
"Mad" Moose McGee is a well rounded boxer with anger issues. He likes to taunt you before punching. Pepper him with left jabs to the face when he lowers his hands, or dodge and counterattack. Moose is at his most dangerous when charging from across the ring. You can duck or dodge his wild swing. If you're feeling gutsy, punch him as he's lunging towards you. One of you will go down. If you manage to knock him down, or you throw one too many power punches, he'll launch uppercuts with his right hand - dodge to the right or risk going down with a dislocated jaw.
Bean is a rotund, powerful fighter. What he lacks in mobility, he makes up for by having a thick layer of fat protecting his abdomen - body blows have no effect on him! Oddly, Bean's lack of speed can make it difficult to dodge his lumbering punches. Dodge to the left to avoid his left handed uppercuts. Once you've adjusted to the timing of his arsenal of punches, you'll find yourself dancing circles around him, but be warned. Bean is known to lose his temper and try to flatten your head between his ham-sized fists. While attempting to sidestep won't save you from being clobbered, you can duck, then retaliate.
Ivan is a physical specimen, fast and dangerous. Fortunately for you, he's also somewhat predictable. He likes to lead with one of two lightning fast combinations: jabs followed by a bone crushing right to the body, or a quick feint followed by two back-to-back body blows. After being knocked down, Ivan will go nuts and begin throwing sledgehammer-like uppercuts with both left and right hands. If you're not sure which way to dodge, you can always duck. Don't be shy about throwing occasional rights to his body. If you daze him with a headshot, a nice combination to take him down quickly is alternating jabs and power punches.
Kimber is a burly powerhouse, and one of the most aggressive fighters you'll face in your road to the title. He favors uppercuts. Be especially careful when he lowers his guard, as he's prone to throw punches in bunches. His overall quickness can make it difficult to counterattack.
Pete is a good man, but a dirty fighter. He's got a hard head, and is particularly good at picking away at defensive opponents. The key to taming him is to lead with jabs. This will often provoke him into throwing a wild punch which you can easily dodge and counter. Watch out for him to unload a stiff uppercut to your jaw when you least expect it - from a clinch and as he's getting up. Left to his own devices, Pete likes to fight with bursts of fast punches. If you manage to intercept him with a left jab while he's attempting a flurry, keep jabbing and you may be able to fend him off unscathed.
Rasta King, aka the Jamaican Sensation, has dominated the Pocket Boxer circuit for years. He enjoys stalking his opponents methodically in the ring, favoring single punches over flashy combinations. He won't take you seriously unless you manage to knock him down. If you make him angry, you may find yourself flattened by a wild haymaker which can only be ducked.
