During fights, available punches to be thrown include jabs, hooks, crosses and uppercuts.

The boxers' sprites include views of them from a side-on position, and from viewpoints that show them having turned a small distance clockwise or anti-clockwise around the ring.

As a boxer attempts to move around the ring, the appropriate series of sprites are shown, which works to give the illusion of their turning about.

The damage received to a boxer's face is exhibited by close-up pictures that are shown between rounds.

The wounds start off semi-realistically, but after sustained punishment, often develop into wildly exaggerated versions of the kind of injuries boxers suffer.

The game features digitized speech effects for the introduction of fighters, knockdown counts, and the announcement of the outcome of a fight.
