New fighting styles (boxer specific) enable fans of the “sweet science” to play as or create a boxer with a fighting style that mimics some of the best know boxers of all time. For example, the “Crab” style can be utilized to fight like Ken Norton, or the “Freestyle” mode made famous by Muhammad Ali can be used. The “Slugger” mode that Rocky Marciano made famous can be a fighting style for those more concerned about offense than defense. Several other modes are available as well.
